if I hear it again I'll record it even if it's on my phone or w/e

#

personally I'm just doubting myself now that I couldn't replicate it

#

which is why I thought the explanation of the two gangs talking or something made a ton of sense

weak kelp
#

I dont think thats a feature though, exept when they eandomly just yell "FUCKERS" across the door

placid crown
#

OH

#

well that kinda changes things 😅
This was 100% phrases or a sentence at a time

weak kelp
#

Intresting

placid crown
#

I even turned up my volume and got yelled at by my spouse lol

weak kelp
#

Lol

placid crown
#

Now it's gonna drive me crazy, I gotta find a way to get it again

weak kelp
#

Do what tou did before

#

Possibly tabbing out can do something, but I doubt it

#

And it's the entrance, we never know if thats just random police chatter

placid crown
#

well if the game can detect cheat engine I'm sure it can detect an alt-tab. That is a difference between my replication attempts honestly

#

Okay trying it again now

weak kelp
#

1 thats not hoe anticheat work 2. Idk if I can detect that

placid crown
#

Honestly I haven't looked into it, I just know people complained about shooting trash bags when using cheat engine

weak kelp
#

Its like how Minecraft detected piracy with a fake error message, they got banned from their respective places

placid crown
#

hmmm still coming up empty so far I think. I can't tell if these are ambient sounds or quiet voices. I'm gonna try in the morning when I can actually use my sound

weak kelp
#

Yeah I need to go to bed

#

I'll be on tkmorrow so I can investigate... With headphones

gaunt tartan
#

I'll give it a shot before bed, hotel just sit around spawn and you heard ambient noises/possible voice/knocking or something right?

#

i got some time to kill

placid crown
#

i still get a ton of ambient noise but no creepy voice like the first time

gaunt tartan
#

you're like 100% sure there was a voice yea? so far just a bunch of bumps and scuffling for me. when did the voices start?

placid crown
#

I'm not 100% sure it was a voice honestly, it started after about 5 minutes I think

gaunt tartan
#

hmmm im 10 in and nothing but bumps

fickle storm
#

Is there a pin to catch up on all this?

eager atlas
#

Yes

quiet edge
#

So you guys know that hallway in port with the creepy white graffiti at the end ?

#

There’s a red lit room to the right did anyone try to clip through to see what’s up in there

gaunt tartan
#

still no luck on the voices, oh well was worth a shot. about that whispering statue though does anyone have a clip of that?

fickle storm
gaunt tartan
#

yea, curious about it

I can get you a clip of it

Let me upload the actual file

fickle storm
#

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I looked back and saw no one say anything, but about a day ago i saw a post on reddit talking about a drawing that would fade away when he left the room on crack house. Did anyone else see that post? ill try and find it

placid crown
#

the like red thing on the wall?

placid crown
#

yeah I've seen that thing pop up before! Same as this guy said, my friend couldn't see it not even through headcam

#

not really sure what triggers it but run crackhouse barricaded a few times and you're bound to get it

fickle storm
#

Could just be a visual glitch of course but i doubt it

placid crown
#

definitely not a visual glitch, that's 100% intentional

#

not exactly sure of it's message/meaning but it's definitely no accident

fickle storm
#

for sure

placid crown
#

the little girl's drawing in her room seem to change as well

#

I've seen at least two different versions of her drawings

same with the girls drawings

Yes

#

Changed name I guess.

chilly marten
#

Afaik carcosa arg is closed and sepulchre arg isnt connected, i may be wrong tho

sour path
#

Nice banner

#

But, I doubt they aren't connected. Probably the same thing but rebranded or renamed

#

Idk, but I don't think they would just give up on carcosa

#

What if it's like the game's Shangri-La

chilly marten
#

idk someone said they werent connected and carcosa was scrapped but they may connect later on or maybe theyre already connected we will see

#

i think it's more like a call for help than actual clues

to be fair, Guinevere did this a while ago, it got the whole arg back up again

oh ok

eager atlas

I believe the guys on farm aren't atm MLO, but they are meant to be in the end

gaunt tartan
#

Ah I just assumed since they're paramilitary and looked similar to the guys in the MLO evidence video that they were MLO, to be fair havent done farm in a hot minute

eager atlas
#

Yeah they're meant to be in the end product, but the concept are for MLO (from what the mods have sent) is supposed to make em look very different

gaunt tartan
#

ah, got a link to that?

eager atlas
gaunt tartan
#

ah so those guys are MLO, just the farm map is meant to be filled with the other cult looking dudes in the finished product I see

From my understanding yeah, they still look great asf, just more to come apparently

Atleast we got something

strong idol
#

tried to do some bs with their website and butting the numbers at the end of the link got nothing

fickle storm

Could it maybe have something to do with the other number thays unsolved? Defiently a long shot just throwing it out there

(thats 41 0's at the end if that helps at all)

strong idol

nothin

#

wait

#

i got a reddit link about a cypher

gaunt tartan
#

oh?

strong idol
#

ill look up cyphers with it

eager atlas
#

They already said the numbers would require us to use multiple steps to solve it, which is one of the issues atm with solvin

gaunt tartan
#

im still curious about the "you could be so much more if you cut away the rot" quote, maybe hinting to rot cipher like the bank robber hint, or hinting at cutting away some part that's misleading us

gaunt tartan
#

he attempted to use binary when he was told that, either binary is one of the two parts or they were simply commenting that it isnt always going to be just a substitution table

strong idol
#

PGCVFFODJGDEF

fickle storm
#

Guess we had the same question

strong idol
#

i got rid of the zeros and but the remaining into a a1z26 decypher

#

might try a rot cypher for the remaining letters

fickle storm
#

It may be a little more than ciphers

strong idol

like?

#

#🪹the-sepulchre-arg message

Well here is what we have in terms of clues for the filename cipher.
-It is 2 step process
-It will spell out a sentence, most likely a key to something later
-It NEEDS to be solved, to make later clues possible/easier
-The number of zeros does not matter, but they may still be important.

  • The file name is NOT a date. That was an coincidence
    -Someone tried Binary and was onto something. Unconfirmed if binary is an actual step needed.
    -We must think beyond just letter ciphers. It isn't just an x to number or x to letter cipher.
    -The cipher is simple, but not exactly easy.
    we also know that will y is part of the plaintext
strong idol
#

but where could these letters go

gaunt tartan
#

might be a stretch maybe we need to sort it through multiple different ways to get the whole sentence? every output is far too short to be a sentence on its own (such as will y)

eager atlas
#

I say start backwards, even if we don't have it all, try to work backwards and get to what the full picture is

fickle storm
#

Maybe we're missing a piece

eager atlas
#

Don't think so

#

They'd hint that we're missin somethin

strong idol
#

or they wouldnt they said no more hints

fickle storm
eager atlas
#

Missing a piece would be a very important hint to include in what we have, otherwise it's all for nothin

errant oxide
#

I read though this. Nice work. politecat

strong idol
#

going for a streach will y kinda sounds like a proposial

eager atlas
#

I suspect it's probably "will you join us" or something like that. "Will you blossom?"

gaunt tartan
#

how did we get to "will y", thats likely out best place to start and we can work backwards from there since we actually got a word out of that

ivory wren
#

We have a new lead?

strong idol
#

actualy will you blossom sounds better since the whole flower head thing from that weird video

what do you mean how does this work

idk

ivory wren

I don't understand it at all..

strong idol

just ut was there when i looked up the number

ivory wren
#

Weird.

#

This is their entire reddit history.

strong idol
#

just keep it in mind i dont think its par toff it

ivory wren
#

Me neither.

#

What's binary supposed to look like again?

strong idol
#

SHIT that guy eith the same code comented on ready or not shit

ivory wren
#

Wait what?

gaunt tartan
#

??

strong idol
#

read his history

ivory wren
#

Let me see.

#

I see nothing other than those two posts.

ivory wren
#

Oh wait, different guy.

strong idol
#

its just weird he talked about this shit

#

and has the same code

radiant sonnet
#

csgo

strong idol
#

?

fickle storm
strong idol
#

Wait he might have seen the clue in this discord since he got the same hint of it saying on the right track

gaunt tartan
#

yea probably just posted about lead 3 on r/decipher

rugged arrow
#

If it's not a substitution cipher I'd guess it's probably some kind of math-y thing to do with the numbers, or it's some other kind of encryption (given the clue about binary, but could be decimal, etc.)
The 0s really stick out though, how could the number not matter, yet it's still important?
Only other thing I can think of is the image is a weird 2755x2628 res, (127 pixel difference).

hasty adder
#

We already got halfway on it. It's in octal so you transfer it from octal to hex, then hex to ascii

#

The other zeros are like missing data, at least 15 characters worth

gaunt tartan
#

I was going to say maybe the qr code number and telephone number play a part but I think thats more than a stretch

hasty adder
#

The current data spells out "will y"

fickle storm
#

has anyone scanned the QR code on the box next to the non ringing phones on hotel? I dont think its related tot his number string but it may be something

#

I know there was one on port so it could be the same one

fickle storm
gaunt tartan
#

interesting, let me check out the qr on hotel and see if its the same one or different real quick

fickle storm
#

gaunt tartan
#

I got no luck

weak kelp
#

did anyone get anymore infromation about the chatter in the motel barricaed suspects

gaunt tartan
#

I tried a couple times but nada, just the usual ambient bumping

fickle storm
#

the ambient noise on hotel is freaky man

weak kelp
#

idk last night someone said there was voices, not just thumping

fickle storm
#

what did they say caused it?

weak kelp
#

tabbing out

fickle storm
#

ill read the chat from last night and give it a go

weak kelp
#

here

#

or starts here

#

I just wanted a recording of it, it would be useful

fickle storm
#

ill give it a go. Ill use nvidia replay if i hear anything

#

nothing so far aside from the usual bumps

weak kelp
#

idk maybe the guy was going insane or something lol

fickle storm
#

I defiently think that there is something on that map

#

not the barricaded suspects but the one with the statue

weak kelp
#

without a doubt somthing is hiding

#

Does the statue in question have anything on it?

gaunt tartan
#

hold on boys. those pictures of the lost, all those faces do we have the originals? what APMK said gave me an idea

#

the ones that someone layered them all together to see if it made anything

weak kelp
#

yeah?

gaunt tartan
#

APMK brought up the weird resolution on the 167....... image, do the others have weird resolutions too? could be the missing numbers.

fickle storm
fickle storm
gaunt tartan
#

uninspectable tacticalthink would need the original uploads

weak kelp
#

ill check the statue real quick in a raid

rugged arrow
#

I downloaded them off the google doc and it says they're all 784x785 but can't confirm if that's the original res.

gaunt tartan
#

hmmmm okay

rugged arrow
#

Was trying to mess around with layering them through different color channels or other weird stuff since they're all kinda different colors (except the first one that's b/w) but nothing so far, though I'm not sure I've done a terribly good job of it anyways.

weak kelp
#

the statue is made by a person named Olivia Brown, in 1977 dedicated to Micheal Strasky and the hotel

#

And I almost died LOL

ivory wren
gaunt tartan
#

unless maybe its some weird math shit with the resolution of the 167 image? (x or divide the file name by the resolution or the difference)? only reason im thinking that might be wrong is cause we already got "will y" without messing with the string

#

or the amount of pixels in the image perhaps?

weak kelp

how did we find out it says will y

#

wounded? you mean demolished

ivory wren

#

the victims of the murders in the hotel

#

gaunt tartan
#

I just have no idea where we would get that many new numbers from, they said the number of 0s doesnt matter but may be important, so maybe it isnt exactly 41 other numbers?

strong idol
#

i actualy have not played that map yet

#

41 uncomfirmed members?

#

or smtn

ivory wren
#

I heard we got halfway through that number?

i swear to god if this is the answer i will fucking scream like this lead

gaunt tartan
#

ah, we 're on the right track. dunno if id say halfway but we're somewhere near the mark

ivory wren
#

Right.

strong idol
#

so we have everything we need but we cant figuar it out

weak kelp
#

its a process

gaunt tartan
#

maybe im pulling the "we have everything we need" out of my ass but from how its being talked about and how theres no more hints being given I assume theres nothing being left out, its just up to us to put it together the right way

strong idol
#

ima run hotel whats the map called again ill give it a look down for those voices as well

have we ever looked at whats on stuff like teh cargo dossier?

# ivory wren Home's profile picture seems to be missing a real face, what if we try putting o...

I'm not sure where any of my face-combining things could even lead since it's all faces, but, at least a curious bit of info is that one of them does match.
The resolutions aren't quite the same (and I can probably do a few pixels more accurate than this if needed since I was just testing it out quickly) but the greenish face matches the neck and stuff pretty closely.
All the other faces are way off, they're closer in and have no neck.
(This is with brightness and contrast up just to make it a bit more obvious how it overlays cause it's quite dark otherwise.)

So basically it was confirmed that these numbers were octal right, then convert them to binary, then hex, then ASCII. We find “will y”, I’m guessing the second word is “you”, and “you” is 79 6F 75 in hex, then I just backtracked till octal again and we end up with 36267565, which should be the start of the next set of numbers we should work with I guess

#

That’s why I’m asking if we have any current lead or set of number that starts with 36267565

gaunt tartan
#

gotcha working backwards, i see I see

#

had me hyped up cause I ran the number octal>hex and got the word "you" so we thought you might have had the info we needed

quiet edge
#

Yeah no

#

But working backwards could help

gaunt tartan
#

I mean just from the base 167etc. we get "will y" so we'd only be looking for the "ou" if that is the right path to go down

Next dumb idea.. what transforming into binary, you then transform it into Morse code

i don't know if there's a standard way to convert Morse into binary, since technically it's base 3 (dit, dah, silence)

gaunt tartan
#

At work so I cant test it out but I have an idea, since we think the 0's are placeholder could we have to reorder the original number string to get the other parts of the message? My rough idea is maybe the whole rot clue isnt to reorder the letters at the end but maybe the numbers at the start? (Idea came from the resolution difference being 127, so maybe base position, moved one positions, and moved 6 positions?)

#

Or really any other number of positions over just to see if any coherent messages come through

So how far did we get with the bank robber thing

If bank robber is what we seek I’m guessing there’s something we’re missing when it comes to the files itself

We got to something about a child in a doghouse being neglected, similar to the child's pram and toys in the doghouse in twisted nerve raid mode.

Not exactly sure how we got to that point.

@ivory wren read lead 4 of loaf's doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEVmB78s9T0wmntGuN5MFjgVCLVB0PQahtPL1FBxtlI/edit#heading=h.h961u5nlmwnn

tldr:

  • "stand by the lost" easter egg (currently bugged?): if you stand next to the chair on the far right of the altar room in the pre-game lobby/HQ and wait for 1 minute, the clue audio will play
  • clue audio = 2 things, first thing is "yankee doodle" played in reverse, slowed down, with distortion. it sounds weird and spooky. plays for about 1.5-2 minutes. second thing is 3 seconds of LOUD garbled audio that honestly sounds like you're on vc and someone's mic is fucked up
  • if you turn off all in-game sound except FX and record the 3 seconds of noise at the end, you will see the "bank robber for what you seek - levels/lobby" text in the spectrogram
  • "bank" is a pun on .bank file, which is the file formatting for the game files
  • if you extract the game's audio files from Game/ReadyOrNotLevel/Menu_V2/Lobby_V2.umap, you will find:
    bankrobber.wav
    nacirema_na_fo_gniward.wav
    m1_credits.wav
  • bankrobber and nacirema_na_fo_gniward are what you heard in the in-game easter egg
  • m1_credits.wav is audio of morse code that decodes to "YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T THINK OF THIS TOO NEGLECTED LIKE THE CHILD THROWN INTO THE DOGHOUSE"
  • on the raid version of meth house, the little girl is missing from her room and there is a dead dog outside of the doghouse in the backyard

"JARETH's great hall. he stands by a window and looks out over the labyrinth - from this ||Blacked Out|| the (/) the surround the castle walls, the arid plain that leads to the dense forest, encircling that the complex (?). He (?) lent in thought. The WHITE BIRD enters the window and lands on his shoulder. Behind him ||Blacked Out|| His slippery crawl is too much for the GOBLINS that scurry about, trying to mind him. Meanwhile, a particularly stupid looking GOBLIN begins to approach JARETH. he saunters across the room and is stopped short by a FEMALE GOBLIN. She grabs hold of his shirt and (?) a warning

FEMALE GOBLIN: Remember! It's bow and scrape... bow and scrape...

The STUPID GOBLIN nods and she lets him go. HE then continues his approach to JARETH, only this time he does a little bow and then scrapes his foot across the floor, then repeats the action.

JARETH turns and (?) ||Blacked Out||

JARETH:||Blacked Out||

JARETH drops the GOBLIN hard on the floor. Freddie(?) (?) thin and laughs with delight. JARETH walks over and scoops the BABY up in his arms. He then carries him over to the window. He calls over to an ARMED GOBLIN by the door.

JARETH: I think its time they had some company.

Cras est baus rutrum set pulvinar vellt ullamcorper non Phaselus laoreet vestbulum metus vel ultrices nunc commodo ut. Aeneasn labortis purus at sem convenient, vengeful ultirides mass said.

Obtained from original dialect:
"Moecenos quis est neque. Nam sapien magna tindunt vel delis tinddunt, molestle tempor lectus Phaselus vehicula pelentesque arau vitae efficitur quam ut auctor leo diquam ut. Cras est baus rutrum set pulvinar vellt ullamcorper non phaselus laoreet vestbulum metus vel ultrices nunc commodo ut. Aeneasn labortis purus at sem commode, ultrices ultirides massa dictum.

im also just digging around in order to sort out filler content from stuff made by VOID and to get better resolution

but to your point it's very likely that there might not be anything ARG related besides the levels/lobby folder with the audios about the neglected child in the dog house

gaunt tartan
#

I'm not very experienced in photo manipulation, is there any reason why warping the original swat guy holding the injured swat guy image would change the resolution to such a weird number? If not I feel like that has to be intentional and currently that's my last guess as to how we solve this. Either we have to use those numbers in a certain order or do some sort of math with them to get the right numbers

gritty pilot
#

image warp operation doesn't need to change the image dimensions

radiant sonnet

Forgive me if I seem like I'm trying to cut in line or something, but I'm incredibly new to this. I can't read-and-drive for obvious safety reasons, is there a podcast episode or video that I could listen to while driving that would catch me up on this chase? The one in the pinned messages by Inspector Loaf's channel doesn't exist anymore, and catching up on nearly four years of ARG seems rather daunting.

gritty pilot

#

Eli did you ever give the resolution numbers a shot? Like maybe replacing the zeros with x resolution, y resolution, difference or some variation of that? I gotta get going to work soon otherwise I'd test it myself real quick

#

Probably a dumb question cause you've likely tried a ton more options than anyone else here lol

#

i did a little bit but not much
warped img dimensions are 2755 x 2628
and then the spooky faces all have the same resolutions

Looks like gibberish to me man.

#

Maybe we were done with the six images after decoding the file names, maybe the actual images serve no purpose.

#

But then again, maybe not.

gaunt tartan
#

Hmmm none of those are octal which the original warped images file name is.. not to try and limit our options but I think since we have to decode the file name the other half might have to be octal too since we used octal>hexa>ascii to get "will y" which is confirmed

gaunt tartan
#

Unless we only introduce the new numbers in the hexa phase? Feels like a stretch to me but we've tried more outlandish things before

Hi lemon.

Multiplying the resolution of the warped image gives you 7240140 which is still octal but using it alone I cant make anything of value and the ways I've tried incorporating it into the base file name destroys the translation

Didnt someone (I thought it was guin but I cant find anything so idk) say the solution would be simple but not exactly easy? I feel like the harder we think about this the farther it flies over our head.

so we had "will y" right, they added "we" which is 776520 in hex 7824672 in decimal and 35662440 in octal

gaunt tartan
#

also for getting the right answer to that, do the people running the ARG just see it and choose to proceed or do we have to @ a certain person with the answer

quiet edge
#

then they also added "save" which is 2073617665 in hex, 139374720613 in decimal and 2016330273145 in octal

none of those numbers have been mentioned before in the chat

what i mean is took 77696C6C2079 "will y" and compared it w "77652077696C6C207361766520796F75"

776520 is new so its "we"

etc

oh i get it im stupit

0x20 is ascii for (space character)

quiet edge

i suck at discordsoz

gritty pilot

0x79 = y

#

you can split the hex value into 2-digit pairs and use this to translate. if you use any hex to ascii converter, that's all it's doing under the hood

gaunt tartan
#

776520 = we, 2073617665 = save, 6F75 = ou at the end

quiet edge
#

thank you lemon

gritty pilot
#

also a useful convention:
0x means hex
0o means oct
0d means dec
this makes it easier to tell what format you're using for numbers

thank you eli

so we just need to find out how we were supposed to get 776520, 2073617665, and 6F75 and how we were supposed to know where to put them (probably just had to descramble or brute it once we found those words)

P2: Our vow, our life, and yours, fading away. Each flame, melting, dripping, dying. We sing for them, we bleed for them, we mourn them. Unwanted, buried, forgotten, searching for home, to return.

P1: Melting. I want to forget. Hold me. Wait with me, for a while. Just for a minute. I'm not ready to go yet.

P2: That's not how the game is played. The rules changed on you, and where did it bring you? To your knees.

P1: I want to forget, why can’t I forget?

P2: You come to me, impatient, insolent. Begging for deliverance. All in time. We will free you. All will be made clear. All will be well. Just relax. Let go. Breathe. Remember. Nothing is ever lost. Only mulched.

P1: There are no dead ends. Cull the tumor. Flourish. Burn.

gritty pilot
#

do you guys have any ideas about what the most recent hint could mean? i think it's in response to us asking for another breadcrumb/hint last week, so this image and its message should be telling us something or steering us in the direction of solving the original filename

i think the fact that the message is dec -> hex -> ascii, in addition to one of the earlier hints about binary being "on the right track", lend further credence to the idea that the filename is the integer representation of a bunch of ascii bytes. finding the correct integer representation will lead to successfully decoding it as ascii. however, it seems it can't just be octal -> hex alone

#

i tried interpreting the original filename as a number in base 8-36 and all of them looked like gibberish except base 8 (octal). gwynn has told us that "will y" is part of the plaintext. i feel like we're so close. we have to be missing something really simple
