I'm doing 8,15,13,5 to add battle royal already

[quiet edge]

Yeah let’s all take a break this weekend and come back with a fresh mind on Monday

have a nice weekend guys

[weak kelp]

Info that we can't solve in 5 seconds, sucks we need to wait lol

[opal ingot]

@gritty pilot hey bro nice c*ck

[ivory wren]

That was unprecedented.

[opal ingot]

False.

[weak kelp]

Is this a clue?

[fickle storm]

Most defiently

[spring siren]

Or rewrite history, Duck Tales Whoo Whoo! ;D

[strong idol]

hunting down terorists in hotels ohh ooh

[raw imp]

hey guys whats this channel about? i cant seem to understand whats going help? this all seems really interesting

[eager atlas]

Read the pins

[raw imp]

pins still have me confused lol

[weak kelp]

Its about the games ARG

[raw imp]

ARG?

[weak kelp]

Alternate Reality Game I think

[raw imp]

ohhhhhhh

[eager atlas]

Essentially outside and inside hints in the game about a big puzzle. Seemingly related to the campaign the game will have, I think

[weak kelp]

Battle royale teaser

[raw imp]

nvm i found the Carcosa ARG

oh boy

[royal shoal]

not sure if this has been said but I found the dog

[ivory wren]

ATF B(((((

[eager atlas]

I think we should be concerned more about how fucked up you are . You good?

Left arm & right leg fallin off

[magic latch]

Well they’re using a flashlight so I doubt they have nvg on. There’s normally a suspect or two on the way to there out side so he must have been unable to see the gunman

[royal shoal]

I have nvgs, this was at the very end of the mission and we missed some meth. I was looking around for it and found this

[weak kelp]

All terrain facility

[strong idol]

A-kill
T-the
F-dogs

[upbeat spade]

they have such a way with words

[severe kernel]

the music video for the genesis song has televangelists - seems like it tracks with the idea of a religious cult like in true detective

between that and american psycho references, magnilia lily cult recruiting cops or ex-cops - I think a lot of this will have to do with a dark underbelly and I think even the main police presence will be compromised or suspicious

I don't buy the media idea that ready or not is a "love letter to police" or whatever, I think it's a tongue in cheek joke. I think the game is neutral and not pro-law enforcement and I honestly like the concept of this ARG and the seedyness of everything in the universe

I don't think there are any good guys in this game; just a ruse or a societally imposed morality that makes people lean that way - I think there'll be darkness all around

even the concept that park homes takes place after economic collapse, seems like it's almost like a robocop situation or something

also tracks with first season of true detective - especially if carcosa is a detached state of mind and evil is cosmic, indiscriminate and omnipotent

[spring siren]

I've been gone only for a while and I can already see that this discussion thread went wild.

[weak kelp]

Given the graphic nature of the game and the gritty realism it portrays, the game is for mature audiences. We will also strongly recommend that people who have experienced personal traumatic events from criminal violence, hostage situations or terrorism refrain from playing. At its core, the game honors the work of dedicated law enforcement officers across the world and in no way intends on glorifying cowardly criminal acts.

The steam page

[stone pike]

guarantee you guys already found the George Lucas, Labyrinth thing in lobby

https://lyrics.az/george-lucas/-/labyrinth-full-script.html

this vantage point he can see clear across it FREDDIE is having a grand time. GOBLIN. Well, what is it? Th ... the girl and Hoggle, sire. Th ... they're halfway th .... through th ... the maze. doesn't mind, carefully removes it. He then looks down to the courtyard below. pouring out of the castle.

these are all the crossed out lines together besides the top one, which is just an actor reference

found in game files, idk where it's at

[desert ether]

the lore we really need to focus on

[strong idol]

it said port but since it says desk it might be in a desk in the lobby

however he needs the thanks he deserves

205264501

[severe kernel]

@weak kelp yeah but this doesn't matter to me because I think the devs are the ones who are being tongue in cheek. Hence the frequent use of Yankee doodle dandy. Personally, I would prefer if it's tongue in cheek in this perverse world they're building, adds more mystique and is more interesting.

[strong idol]

no

[sacred tusk]

Can someone tell me if this is a skill issue or a bug?

[hasty adder]

I can tell you that you're in the wrong server

[sacred tusk]

Wrong server or wrong channel? This IS the Ready or Not server, right?

[glass zealot]

Wrong channel

[sacred tusk]

Which channel should I hit up? I'm not sure this is a bug, so don't want to put it in bug report yet.

Unless I should anyway?

[glass zealot]

You could try ron-media but idk if you'll get responses there

Bug reports is probably the best place

[sacred tusk]

👍 Thank you

[vague rover]

dont know if this has been found yet or if it even is anything but the police station or in game lobby seems to be underground

in some type of subway tunnel

this is by the range btw, standing on top of the box on the left

also this

[gilded lintel]

seems to be just a reference to swat 4

[vague rover]

LMAO

[covert nymph]

Adding onto what you guys already noted about the "child thrown into the doghouse", I noticed today that the emaciated young woman in the blue shipping container on Port Hoken has a bag of dog food with her, seems like that's the food she was given in there and treated like a dog. Might be a reference?

sorry if someone has already noted this

[fickle storm]

thats human trafficking they are just fed dog food

[ivory wren]

It's monday, sepulchre break is over.

[radiant sonnet]

@trim imp

Check the pins

[weak kelp]

Wrong chat and skill issue

[sacred tusk]

[quiet edge]

🥲

[desert ether]

spotted on twisted nerve Raid

[olive kayak]

is this what i think it is

classified document?

[fickle storm]

If im not mistaken I think a few nights ago someone looked that up and it was just cold war stuff or Vietnam I cant remember

[dark goblet]

the documents have almost nothing to do with the ARG unfortunately, and have been found to be Unreal assets from the store in a Vietnam desk pack or something

[fickle storm]

A lot of small stuff around the map is just random assets that appear on multiple maps

[vague rover]

anyone know if the guy on gas station with his brains blown out has anything to do with anything?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vague rover]

might be related to port "child throw into the doghouse" thing or just a lmao lolz funni joke

[quiet edge]

hi guys

If we assume all the 0's in the original octa were placeholders that we have to fill in, we'd need 41 numbers

first line is new octa "we will save you", second line is old octa without the 0's and third line is what was added to the original octa to get the new one

25 numbers were added so if we follow this logic, we still need to find 16

should narrow down our search

[maiden bobcat]

@gritty pilot

@eager atlas

[eager atlas]

I'm 2 dumb for this kinda work

[maiden bobcat]

Loaf left the server. :(

[quiet edge]

@gaunt tartan

[gritty pilot]

:(

[quiet edge]

how come

[maiden bobcat]

No clue. He just isn't there in my mutual server list.

[quiet edge]

im probably overthinking it ngl

[gaunt tartan]

We lost one of the greats, it's up to us to bear the torch

[maiden bobcat]

:(

[gritty pilot]

im still stuck on this thought that there's something about the latest hint that's supposed to be telling us something that's going over our heads

[gaunt tartan]

This ^ I'm at my wits end with just trying to spot the difference and find out where we were originally supposed to spot it, no amount of substitution or math has gotten me remotely in the ball park. Have we brightened the image/dug around in it for anything possibly hidden?

[quiet edge]

mmh

isn't the latest image two images we saw before that are overlayed ?

[maiden bobcat]

I've thrown my hat in and feel as if I'm outmatched.

"When solving a problem you do not understand, solve the parts you do understand and keep going." -Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

[gaunt tartan]

I dunno what kinda info can be hidden in an image file but that's one of my only guesses

[quiet edge]

the ear

for ref

[gaunt tartan]

Reposting original for convenience

You know it's bad if we're literally given the solution and we still cant figure this out

[quiet edge]

what still bothers me is not knowing if were we supposed to find "we will save you" on our own

before this image got posted

[gaunt tartan]

Wait maybe this isnt the solution to the original image. Maybe we could consider we were supposed to find "will you save me/us"

Because "will y" is part of it, and getting to the other answer is a stretch and a half, and I dont know that they'd just hand us the answer like that on a silver platter

[quiet edge]

you're suggesting we treat them as two different sentences ?

[gaunt tartan]

It sounds more likely to be "will you save me" but the danger here is I'm completely pulling that out of my ass, but maybe theres a logical way we can get the string of that, because the way "We will save you" required us to jumble everything around I dont know that we would have enough info to get there.

I have some irl stuff to do rn but I'll try n get all the variations of "will you save me" as numbers n see if anything rings a bell or if any big brain math shit gets us there

[gaunt tartan]

@gritty pilot thoughts?

[quiet edge]

I started putting numbers in matrices n stuff i wasted so much time lmao

we 100% totally lost

[gaunt tartan]

`"will you save me" database.

again, octal and hexa seem to be the best areas for finding the change.
my eye lands here, maybe we can figure out how to get the 6+41 0's to 57352201633027314510066545? some sort of math I assume but its down 16 numbers

[quiet edge]

I'll get to it then

[gaunt tartan]

the only danger of working backwards like this is we're assuming we have the right phrase and that could kneecap this entire investigation

[quiet edge]

frankly this is all we got

I like this lead tho

tried all sorts of stuff and there's no way we could've found this with something we already have

I feel like its easier than what we think

[gaunt tartan]

Most likely idk man im grasping at straws

[quiet edge]

uhhhhhhhh toc?

[fickle storm]

this hurts my head to read

[gritty pilot]

👀

[weak kelp]

Ive been looking at the photos in the one way window in the hotel barracaded

They might be connected to the spooky faces themselves

[fickle storm]

The thing that looks into the bathroom?

[fickle storm]

I think thoes are just pictures

[quiet edge]

devs prob

[fickle storm]

that would make sense

[celest lotus]

they’re just devs, yeah lol

[royal ocean]

Imagine if its in the profile picture of TOC

Although this morse code would spell out nonsense

So I highly doubt it.

It's probably just the design of the pfp

[smoky island]

The "morse code" in the Ron logo has been tested before, it doesnt mean anything

[radiant sonnet]

I know some of the pics are void devs

especially the smiling dude in the suit (Zack Bower)

[radiant sonnet]

What exactly means that number / score?

@radiant sonnet

Yeah?

It's probably the time the operation takes place

12:30 PM in this case

That makes sense, thanks.

[olive kayak]

take on the SR-16?

[radiant sonnet]

It shoots bullets, I think.

They might hurt.

[olive kayak]

you are funny man

i like your sense of humor

[vague rover]

if i recall it says in the manual to not point it at the zoo animals

[olive kayak]

Wait a second wrong chat

[ivory wren]

Oh shit, @strong idol .

We have two senator Armstrongs in this Channel now.

[weak kelp]

There is an imposter

there can only be one @radiant sonnet

yes

[olive kayak]

oh god

please, don't remind me of the time a half naked crackhead with a makarov decided to well

shoot my whole team dead.... and killed 3 swat officers in seconds

[gentle gull]

Bear with me I am not really up to date with this, but I do know of it. I saw this book while clearing Twisted Nerve Barricade, and thought it interesting. Up to you all

[eager atlas]

[waxen lotus]

how to trigger this menu animation ?

[scarlet swallow]

wrong chat, and thats really old

[stray sentinel]

could somone explain to me what is the sepulchre thingy?

please?

[shrewd yarrow]

^

[obtuse wyvern]

google doc in the pinned messages

[shrewd yarrow]

interesting..... why do i get this feeling this ends up going into a horror style theme

[scarlet swallow]

the ARG is very much horror

no clue if the game will follow that

[shrewd yarrow]

that would be great if it did, but we shall see

[shrewd yarrow]

has anyone tried enchancing the pic from Encrpyted message 2 cause it looks like maybe their might be some hidden wording on faces 3 (top) and 1 (bottom)

[chilly marten]

Devs said there will be no silly stuff in the game. No horror stuff. But the game is pretty much dark like a horror game.

[gilded lintel]

i hope it goes full resident evil 8 and turns the stupid to full

[scarlet swallow]

if they said it about the ARG, then I dont trust them, ngl

they have said that the ARG doesnt exist before

lol

[chilly marten]

Nah the ARG is pretty creepy and twisted but the game itself is gonna be pretty realistic, i mean there may be some cults that believe in messed up things or what not but I doubt we see supernatural elements.

[scarlet swallow]

I wouldn't count them out yet

[chilly marten]

Maybe as a dlc or something but its not advertised as a horror game. You cant suddenly change the theme from a realistic shooter to horror fps lol. Gwyn herself said it.

[shrewd yarrow]

i mean that doesn't mean you can't add a sprinkal of horror elements here and there.

but anywhom, back on topic

i noticed in the top row 3rd face, and 1st face here have what looks like letters

i could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

[shell shadow]

What letters?

[shrewd yarrow]

that's the issue that i am having trouble with, they seem faint but i could always be seeing things.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[olive kayak]

face upper 3 is A

face lower 4 is U

face upper 2 is 8

[shell shadow]

I honestly don't see it

[ivory wren]

I spent 10 minutes trying to see it and can't..

[cerulean tiger]

I see that "A"

formed by the nose, but it just seems like coincedence

after all, everyone's noses make an A

[ivory wren]

True.

[glass zealot]

I see the a and the u but no 8

I’m just sad it’s gone

someone caved into something and that is now gone as a result

I was laughing my ass off when I first found that

[timid badge]

this seems obvious, but anybody seen this yet?

[eager atlas]

Yes

[shrewd yarrow]

Uh no! That is a good find tho!

I need to do some more investagating 0n the 6 faces

[royal wing]

Pretty sure it's the same package as the original carcosa package

[rich reef]

not sure if it has to do with anything, on the lobby desk

The beeps on the priners in car shop?

[tulip root]

clipped the suspect

[frank inlet]

yeah this channel becoming #👮ron-discussion 2 Electric Boogaloo

[ivory wren]

Wrong channel mate.

Even though, that is a nice clip.

[turbid plover]

I might just be ass but I'm p sure I landed enough of these rounds to kill that guy & he just ignores em'

[glass zealot]

Most seem to have missed but I can't really tell

I slowed it down and it looks like you only hit him 2 or 3 times at the end

[chilly marten]

wrong channel for those videos dudes. This is a channel about the ARG, post those to #🎨ron-screenshots-and-art

[glass zealot]

This chat is pretty much just used as #👮ron-discussion with image perms rn lol

[chilly marten]

but its wrong nonetheless. Should keep it clean for future ARG discussions

Oh aight, just figured this was discussion but images, lol

Wait loaf left? Where did he go 😦

[eager atlas]

I have no idea

Maybe they're fighting the good fight in NDA

[ivory wren]

At least we always have Eli.

I think we still have Eli anyway..

[magic latch]

So has loaf left this server or just become inactive here?

[eager atlas]

Gone gone, you can check by going to their pinned msg and looking at their acc

[magic latch]

Oh my god they were welsh too

sad sheep noises

[quiet edge]

There’s an arg chat on the NDA serv ?

[radiant sonnet]

@quiet edge Yes. It's named the same thing

[fading birch]

Loaf first left this server, then left the NDA server, then left DueRag's server

[wooden sierra]

Someone please explain the entirety of the Ready or Not lore to me 💀

[fading birch]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEVmB78s9T0wmntGuN5MFjgVCLVB0PQahtPL1FBxtlI/edit#heading=h.q93uz0oeyrug
this is everything you need to know about carcosa

[wooden sierra]

Ok thanks

[cloud cipher]

does anybody know what extent this ARG will influence the actual gameplay? i've been doing my research on it and it is really interesting, but i really don't want this game to start becoming some sort of paranormal horror, i just want to play a SWAT successor. thanks everyone.

[knotty comet]

the arg is seperate from the game

[edgy drift]

I think there may be strong implications that something otherworldly is going on in the game. But I don't think you'll be shooting zombies or anything like that.

[cloud cipher]

alright thanks. i experienced that whispering statue easter egg and it just freaked me out a bit lmao.

[ivory wren]

Uhh

Since Loaf is gone, shouldn't we actually make a new Carcosa document?

Not like we can add anything new ourselves.

Unless they still take emails.

[strong idol]

im just sayaing what could the reward/ending/closure for the arg

[thorn ferry]

I think a Payday 2 style approach would be best in most cases, still played normally but with hints and lore, maybe secret missions/levels depending on the scale void goes for

[lusty sonnet]

AİM GOD?

[next trellis]

When you say this, I instantly think about the F.E.A.R games.
Like we have the statue in the middle of that hall that kind of whispers - I could see them making some sort of swat/otherwordly crossover! Maybe going in as swat but then freaky shit starts to happen, maybe some of the guys you bagged gets back up?! Something like that would make for an awesome mix of the tactical and the horror aspect

[molten ermine]

IMO it should be sort of like a DLC? Like, you have the base game, where the default tactical stuff happens, and maybe another game mode where you fight freaky shit
I think that would be the best of 2 worlds

[royal wing]

I mean, devs have said it won't be anything supernaturala

And I don't think it would fit the serious setting, especially with things like school shootings being in the game

[molten ermine]

thats why the idea of a DLC, but im not too fond of it to be honest, dont really like that type of game, so im good with what the game currently is

[granite bloom]

I'd prefer to keep the horror-type stuff to the level it's at now, going overt would ruin a lot of the tension and would dismay a lot of players. Keeping it subtle is far more interesting imo

[spring edge]

I noticed that projector in "Buy cheap, Buy twice" works as a radio(??what??) and transmits a russian fairytale about a family of goats??
Is that normal?

[dull blade]

It might tie in to the cult

[radiant sonnet]

i dont kniw if someones foudn this yet but i found a picture of it

[strong idol]

i dont think we found that image but we know of the drawings

[radiant sonnet]

its on the floor of the main room in the house misson

oh wait

i dont think it always spawns trhere

theres also some funky paitn in one of the rooms to the left form the entrance

on the wall

[desert ether]

this looks similar to the twitter post and gwyn propic a while agp

[strong idol]

Yeah we know about the drawings on the wall

[radiant sonnet]

Its the state of carcosa...... due rag has a whole series on the mental state

[hasty adder]

Since Loaf has gone missing, I am posting an updated version of Loaf's doc. Those who think they will need editing permissions please DM me. Hopefully with enough editors we won't get stuck again. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yEWkpJDPxe1-q-W0Mfh9i7cdrkgR0oM8GHbqBb3uYHA/edit?usp=sharing

[maiden bobcat]

good news guys

loaf is taking a break as the arg was giving him irl stress.

[eager atlas]

Sounds about right

[chilly marten]

cant really blame him tbh

[hasty adder]

Sick

[radiant sonnet]

I wanted to play a swat game and they turned this into a horror game

[weak kelp]

Horror and swat is the same thing

[tawdry badge]

This is most likely a bug caused by some mods and playing online, but With this happening all match on Farm and with it being in the shape of a human eye is all too much of a coincidence imo

[radiant sonnet]

Funky dude

[strong idol]

The all seeing farm

What mods were you running

[naive coyote]

anyone see this one yet?

kinda looks like a clicker from the last of us lol

[loud mural]

looks like some crackhead wall paintings to me

[idle canyon]

Yeah, I took a screenie of that today.

[tawdry badge]

these ones. Only weapon-related mods

[regal chasm]

Anyone already had some strange voices on 213 Park Homes?

[strong idol]

those paintings adn drawings were found a while ago and thos mods shouldnt have changed anything and voices were most likly just the suspects

[tacit coral]

hey guys, i'm not sure if its related to sepulchre but on Hotel map in the raid mode there's a fone ringin and the number in the identifier is 1-555-GENESIS

I know that it's a direct reference to Genesis song Jesus He Knows Me

But i'm just wondering what if this is related to Sepulchre?

[weak kelp]

It might be just a refrence, but we can look into it

[weak kelp]

Does it aound like this? And was it in the childs room

Hold on

This

[tacit coral]

i couldn't notice any pattern on the "ringin" i guess it could be just a refference but looking further it could be something related to a call from an important person (the opposite to the song) wanting an update from the situation at the hotel (The phones are located in the room next to that room with a lot of dead bodies)

[dim dust]

Started reading this recently. If it hasn't been placed yet, some of the pages that are found in the HQ are from the 1986 film, 'Labyrinth', parts of the script that were pulled out

The left most page describes the opening of the film in which the main character, Sarah reenacts the final scenes of the book. The middle, immediately after her brother is wished away and the antagonist, Jareth, confronts her. The final I'm still trying to place.

Not sure it's important, but it is placed, at least

[fickle storm]

I think that could be from the map valley of the dolls

the unreleased one

[regal chasm]

It was in the tunnel system, I was handcuffing a suspect than I heard really heavy footsteps (almost like if the ground was shaking with each step) and a voice like the one you can hear in Doom trailer (demonic voice). I have a mod that chances some voices, I'll look into my files to see if it's not a troll or some sort from the modder, I'll also try to proc it again when filming

[weak kelp]

Nodded :(

[oblique pasture]

anyone scanned the qr code thats on several maps? ive tried to scan it but havent been succesful

[chilly marten]

Many of us tried and failed miserably

[oblique pasture]

shame. be cool if it lead somewhere

[tepid basalt]

lets investigate a bit, i used to decode the liber primus with some other dudes.

i hope we find something

[tepid basalt]

so we have 1-555-GEN-ESIS

what if we decode that with the alphabet.

1-555-7514-519919

anybody called this?

[tacit coral]

just thinking about the current relation between true detective and RON and what if "Valley of the Dolls " (the new test map) is related to the house in S1E08 of true crime?

Also, another house with dozens of dolls is showed on the series (Episode 1 or 2 I guess)

Neither of the houses at the series is similar to the map.

[oblique pasture]

It’s worth noting that valley of the dolls, might just be a place holder name.

[vocal isle]

we need game theory

[fickle storm]

Well were in a place based off of California I believe and that map is set in the hills where all the rich people live and I believe that area is nicknamed valley of the dolls so I think its a reference to where its located

[fickle storm]

We were told not to call any numbers

[olive kayak]

the crackhead wall paintings

there must be a deeper meaning to them

[olive kayak]

perhaps it has to do with the bible

[strong idol]

not trying to be a jerk but we found all this

[fickle storm]

this

[topaz jackal]

carcosa's back?

poggers

[quiet edge]

The arg is stalled atm

No new breakthrough till we can decode our numbers

@gritty pilot @gaunt tartan y’all still alive ? 🤓

[tepid basalt]

Hm yea.

[rugged remnant]

You landed one

lol

[turbid plover]

Yea I'm just ass, lmao

[gentle gull]

I was just about to post the EXACT same picture. Where I can see it but a friend can't

[chilly marten]

decal setting affects the visibilty

[winter smelt]

anyone else notice the spider randomly appears on park homes? I have been on missions where I ask teammates if they see the painted spider and they are like wtf? lol

[gritty pilot]

yeah but focused on other stuff for a bit

[fickle storm]

just wondering, has anyone here looked around the wine map? AKA the farm

I know we have looked on crack house, hotel, gas station and poked around car dealership but i haven't seen much mention of the farm. These farm guys seen much more militarized. Maybe that MLO group?

[topaz jackal]

enemies at the farm are definitely militia
i came across a really low res angel statue with a light shining on it while clearing the catacombs with friends once
not sure if it adds anyth to the investigation tho

[fickle storm]

haha i saw that to it is VERY low res

[strong idol]

A group of us checked the map an nada and the people are mlo

The enemy’s are wearing military gear which checks out with mlos gear

[ivory wren]

Guys are a militia for sure, we get that in the uh brief, no confirmation about MLO though.

[sage helm]

Has to do with your world decal settings.

[quaint granite]

Anyone notice that the arrow on the plywood in the shoothouse seems to change

It's weird, I've seen it be an X, an upward arrow, a horizontal line, and a few others.

Also, there's some weird shit on the 213 map (think that's the name).

Room with some photos, a mattress, and a goddamn fleshlight. (funny one, void.)

[quiet edge]

You guys thing we can find that hallway in to the new club map?

Whoever has the supporter edition

[slate flicker]

im not sure if this is related, but did anyone else recall seeing a pumpkin head as an option for gear in the customization menu? i remember for a little while if you had the everything unlocked mod, it would allow you to equip this weird jack o lantern on your head and everytime you equipped it it would make this weird laugh

[fickle storm]

Probably not related

[topaz jackal]

has anyone investigated the large statue at the hotel level?
there's a room with a statue near the room with the injured civilians
if you approach the statue a certain way a ghostly voice says "hey" to you
likely unrelated but worth looking into for a bit imo

[shrewd yarrow]

I myself have been trying decrpyt this, i feel like theres letters or words hiding amongest the faces. I just havent had the time to analyze it.

[fickle storm]

Ive looked around and tried to activate things but no luck. Maybe in the future it can be used

[fickle storm]

A lot of people have layered the faces and messed with the opacity a other things but I defiantly think that there is more to it. My thought is maybe they each need to be layered on a certain one and not all combined but IDK how to that. good luck I defiantly think you can find something. However you should check up in chat to see whats been done so you don't waste your time on something thats been done

[shrewd yarrow]

Of course, i will try to keep myself updated on this chat

[radiant sonnet]

I know this is from the supporter build, but the Arabic on the Club suspects apparently translates to "The Hand" and "MLO"

[fickle storm]

idk what the hand is but MLO is the cult militia group if I'm correct

[radiant sonnet]

Yes, the MLO is the main militia.
Don't know if "The Hand" is a division of it, or an offshoot

[fickle storm]

I'm sure we'll find out soon

[fickle storm]

I'd love to look around the maps and try to find things but I have the poor person edition 😩

[jovial iris]

reminds me of command and conquer where the black hand was like the the Cult version of the police

[radiant sonnet]

Here's my rough hypothesis on who the Club gunmen are:
They're basically a faction within the MLO used to provide plausible deniability. Club has stripper poles, pool lounges, nude dancers, changing rooms, etc. Maybe the GEO (the company running club) secretly orchestrates human trafficking. So, the MLO task the club gunmen with making it look like a religiously-motivated terrorist attack to simultaneously further their objectives and separate themselves from innocent deaths.

[azure blaze]

The hand. I have heard it somewhere. Yeah, it’s the evil organization in iron fist.

[velvet mural]

The hand. I have one.

[velvet mural]

What if someone has 3

[magic latch]

Grievous?

He’s got four

[velvet mural]

That's not 3

[magic latch]

I was adding onto the three

[tepid basalt]

coming back to this picture!

1. Face - if u look closely you can see a letter on his right half the letter i and a number on his left side a 2

2. Face - i think this is just a face, with a splashed open mouth, nothing special.

3. Face - in my opinion, i think the hole in his middle is a symbol.

4. Face - is interesting, it has no eyes like the others, i think it looks more like a open mouth to the top, like a crocodile

5. Face - looks like a human who got cut open on his mouth

6. Face - very intersting, i think this is a asian male, who got a burned mark on his right side of the face.

also i edited the picture a bit so you guys can see it more clear!

[broken ermine]

Bruh

[radiant sonnet]

Damn bro is this the same game? Goddamn

[shrewd yarrow]

Job well done! Thanks for picking what i couldnt finish idk if its just me but on the top middle face in the center it looks like a V is carved into it

Center forehead to be more spific

[topaz jackal]

the hole in the middle doesn't represent anything i think
that face looks reminiscent of a skull, and that hole looks like where the nose should be
but i can be wrong

[velvet mural]

1 could be an R and an I and 3 looks like a P

RIP?

[winter smelt]

I just need to say this, as a HUGE fan of True Detective season 1 I really am interest in where void is going with this single player story. That show has scenes that never left my memory... life changing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOGoX1B6_2k

"And you could just let go. Finally know that you didn’t have to hold on so tight."

a dream....about being a person.....

[burnt wadi]

hey does anyone know if there's something more to the suspects in the club map or if it's just a bug?

[hasty adder]

Chances are, anything funky in game is a bug

[fast aurora]

2 be honest i think thats just some Rorschach stuff

[fast aurora]

and i think face 4 is like a GTFO klicker they realy lokk simular

[ionic storm]

Hey I was wondering if anyone was working on a full ready or not lore video explaining all of this and all the factions and stories in the game. Kinda like the docs in the pinned messages just in a video form

[tepid basalt]

i would love to, but i cant do this alone.

i need the person who wrote the docs, and a team who can help me.

i can talk in the video, explaining everything.

however i need a good video editor, and someone who is very deep deep in the lore (the guy who wrote the docs)

[tepid basalt]

more like this maybe.

is there a discord for this ARG?

[fast aurora]

I have remembered them differently

[magic latch]

You’re already here. This channel is the only place I know of. Maybe there’s a channel in the NDA for supporters but apart from that

[tepid basalt]

Loaf told me there is 1

[limber dagger]

joined yesterday and love this shit. Idk if im adding anyhting by pointing this out but unswirling that image posted by number boi shows what looks like a swat officer holding another as he bleeds out. This fits with the text he also sent in that message. (i highlighted the arm in red to better distinguish what i mean)

i will try to get a clearer image

[tepid basalt]

we already have this!

[limber dagger]

ah ok

just trying to add where i can

[tepid basalt]

no problem

[hasty adder]

Read the Google doc

[fast aurora]

Did anyone tried laying all images over each other I know sounds a bit cheap but why not

[fickle storm]

yes someone did

It seems we are kind of back tracing here which isn't necessarily bad because its always good to have a fresh set of eyes and some things are easily over looked. However the only thing we know for sure right now that is a clue and defiantly connected to the ARG is a string of numbers 16732266154100745600000000000000000000000000000000000000000. If anyone here that is new is good at decoding things this is something that's yet to be decoded. If you look up in the chat you will see a lot of attempts to decode it and what has been decoded from it. There is a pinned doc which isn't 100% completely up to date but will let you know what's been found for the most part and I highly suggest reading it. I'm not trying to turn any new people away from bringing things up that they think is a clue but before you do check the google doc and see if its been done so you don't waste your time. Just thought Id bring a lot of new people up to speed since we are kind of at a stand still and a lot of people are taking breaks from trying to solve things

[limber dagger]

love cryptography, i'll get on it

so im thinking

41 0's

that might be they key to the cypher if it were like a substitution cypher

but

[fickle storm]

we were given a hint. Its 2 steps, someone tried using binary and was told they were on the right track and its more than a substitution cipher

[limber dagger]

so binary then another cypher

ok

[fickle storm]

well we dont know if its binary

[limber dagger]

i'll keep trying shtuff

[fickle storm]

read what eli said about it

[limber dagger]

ok ok

fun time

[fickle storm]

he was really the closest to solving it

did alot of work on it

[limber dagger]

guys

guys

i think i found a thingy

[fickle storm]

what

[limber dagger]

so i put the initial string of numbers 167322661541007456 into an octal code

and that gave me binary text

after converting 1110111011010010110110001101100001000000111100101110 to text

it gave me this

[fickle storm]

tibetan?

[limber dagger]

yes

[fickle storm]

what does that mean

[limber dagger]

i think it has to do with the 41 0's

[fickle storm]

thats so odd

[limber dagger]

it might not be anyhting

[fickle storm]

it may not or it may be

[limber dagger]

but i feel its very odd aswell

i figured it was Octal code since no number went above 7

and the binary it put out led us to Tibetan stuff

i really hope this isnt nothing

im gonna try it through other binary translators to see if i get similar

ok after looking more into it

i dont think it leads anywhere

other translators are giving other answers

[fickle storm]

I mean it was a good attempt

[limber dagger]

false alarm bois my bad

[fickle storm]

hey thats how you find stuff out is by trying shit

[limber dagger]

i will not be deterred

my mental ineptitude is to powerful

[fickle storm]

I belive someone solved some of it already

let me try and find it

if you scroll to 02/03 you can find a bunch of stuff they were talking about. There's also a cipher table at the bottom of the google doc

[limber dagger]

wait so if he got the 1673 octa and translated it to the one below

then that bottom one is the one to solve?

mission accomplished bois lets pack her up.

i got an idea

[fickle storm]

I think that's from the other file

We had 2 files that's what the other one said

Yea right here was the other file we were given and Eli solved it pretty quickly

[limber dagger]

so im imagining that we need to distribute the 0's out to get the sentance

i'll look into that

[limber dagger]

im gonna do some really stupid shit rn

see you guys in a month

[fickle storm]

Haha good luck

[limber dagger]

while fucking around and finding out i got this out of the code

not much

but maybe something

i will continue the scientific method

[limber dagger]

another odd find

[topaz jackal]

what's with the blank squares

[topaz jackal]

that's a good one tho

let's see if devs respond to this now

[limber dagger]

it was already solved

i wasnt the first

[fickle storm]

Atleast your trying man

I don't have the knowledge to do any of that

[tepid basalt]

I will decrypt it when I'm home

I try lol

[limber dagger]

i feel like i may be onto something

heres hoping

wish me luck

send me all your schizo energy

[limber dagger]

so from what ive observed it seems like we need to use the zeros and insert them within the initial numbers to get the full message

if you add four 0's to the beginning of the message it does not change, if you keep adding four 0's it shifts the cypher forward

[fast aurora]

if you flip all 1 to 0 and all 0 to 1 what comes out

[worldly crown]

I feel like the scotch tape would just come off before the pin ever had a hope, unless it's prepped, but even then. I figure it's more likely to be pulled by it's own weight as it drops.

[magic latch]

Maybe that’s the point. Make you think it’s failed so you pick it up to secure it and move it to safety so it blows up in your hand

[fickle storm]

Wrong chat

[royal shoal]

Does anyone think this could be relevant?

Has anything from any of the maps in-game lead to anything?

[hasty adder]

The only in-game thing that have been relevant to the ARG have been the easter egg with the lone chair in the memorial room

There are some things that were datamined, but that easter egg is it so far

Supposedly there is something we can discover after we gather all the info for it in-game

[fickle storm]

Most of the books are just from asset packs. There is a lot of weird shit in them so most weird small stuff won't mean anything

[fickle storm]

I think eventually the drawings could connect eventually

[hasty adder]

Possibly, but I'm awfully sure we haven't even gleaned what we need to from the images that have been given to us

[fickle storm]

agreed, I think we may have to wait till next update

[long cypress]

Probably has nothing to do with anything- but CRUMPLER A0 8805- C mean anything?

[limber dagger]

No results on tha google

[trim storm]

Wait what is this

[eager atlas]

Game ARG (mystery), view pins

[radiant sonnet]

"Arabic" writing in better detail on club suspect's back

[fickle storm]

we translated that

[radiant sonnet]

Was it a nothingburger?

or does it actually say MLO?

[fickle storm]

someone said it said MLO and The hand

[radiant sonnet]

That was me

but some arabic speakers were doubting the MLO part

thought it said something like "mlq" or "ml"

[fickle storm]

Ohhhh i read your thing wrong I thought you were just pointing out that there was Arabic writing on them my bad

[limber dagger]

16732266154100745600000000000000000000000000000000000000000
So my suspicion for this code of cypher is that the 0's represent code we have yet to receive or put together.

(Octal) 1673226615410074560 -> ( Binary) 01110111011010010110110001101100001000000111100101110000 -> (word speak) will yp

Whats interesting however is that 16732266154 and 167322661541007 both give "will"

if we have any other kinds of cyphers that start as if it were cut off it may fall right in

if we have another unsolved cypher that is 40 letters or numbers long id bet it would fall in

[fickle storm]

I wonder how close we have gotten. Gwynn probably laughs when she reads this chat

[limber dagger]

i suspect but have no reason to believe its trying to spell out "will you"

[eager atlas]

Clearly, it all has to do with the flower in their status

[limber dagger]

at the end of this entire ARG its gonna lead to there soundcloud mix tape

[eager atlas]

That'd be great

[limber dagger]

id hope im close on this one

but im not to sure if im even close to deciphering the code

some stuff doesnt make sense to me which is messing with me

[fickle storm]

something decoded into we wukk save you

will

[limber dagger]

i'll look into some more outlandish stuff

[fickle storm]

Well we were told it was something different then simple substitution ciphers

maybe were overthinking it

[limber dagger]

now does that mean substution of number/letter position or of the character itself

[fickle storm]

I have no idea

Im going to back and check what we were told to find the exact wording of it

for reference #🪹the-sepulchre-arg message

[limber dagger]

so far ive gone from Octal to binary, Binary to text

i really have a strong suspicion that we need another cypher/clue to fit into the 0's

[patent solar]

trying to get that one guy to surrender like

[worldly crown]

Civvies are super indignant when you put a shotgun in their mouths. 'PLEASE, I'm BEGGING YOU, PLEASE DROP TO YOUR KNEES'

'no.'

[hasty adder]

Wrong channel

Also we already got that far with the numbers. Please read the Google doc

[deft fiber]

it's still weird/doesnt make sense to me after that photo 😄

it probably does say MLO, but the way he wrote the letter m looks like he just opened up google translate and wrote mlo

we dont write letter m/meem like this

[fading birch]

Yea

The writing do be cringe

[hasty adder]

It could be intentional. False flag operation to incite hatred towards a group is realistic

[radiant sonnet]

Or

this could be a separate division of the MLO used to create plausible deniability

wait

that actually still falls in with your hypothesis

So, the PLO had this group called Black September which conducted terrorist attacks on civilians secretly. The attacks would still raise awareness while keeping up PR

In fact, this group led to the creation of special police units such as GSG9

[ember bay]

what cunt

[limber dagger]

mood

[thin eagle]

im intrigued and want in on this where can i find the current information on this sibject?

[eager atlas]

Pins

[weak kelp]

The equipemnt used by the suspects like the new club are really heavily armored, maybe MLO?

[radiant sonnet]

We've speculated that the arabic reads "MLO" and "The Hand"

but it's apparently really bad arabic

according to native speakers

[weak kelp]

Google translate

[radiant sonnet]

Anyway, my hypothesis is that the club suspects are part of a "false flag" division of the MLO

Meaning that they're ordered to carry out terrorist attacks using a separate name

so that it won't be tied to the whole MLO.

The MLO is officially just a "militia"

similar to the PLO and Black September

[weak kelp]

Plausable, the club seems aimless to me unless its one of those operations like drug trafficing

But we don't find any currently

[radiant sonnet]

Judging by the stripper models, changing rooms, vip rooms, and pool lounge,
it could be a human trafficking front catering to "high society"

The MLO seeks to purge America of the "fat cats" among other elements

So it's two birds, one stone:
Secretly order a terrorist attack and raise support by portraying the club as a human trafficking ring.

[weak kelp]

But damn they killed everyone but like 2 civs ans a guard

Raising support is allitle off then you have a massacre at the same level as the hotel

[radiant sonnet]

It still raises attention

The Munich massacre started to get the media to focus on the PLO's cause

[weak kelp]

In a whole it was a MLO related attack that targets against higher classes?

[radiant sonnet]

Maybe

but it's unconfirmed until club gets developed

the bouncers even have pistol mag pouches.

which is atypical for regular bar security

[weak kelp]

It's what it's leaning too

[limber dagger]

I knew it all along

[signal shard]

Wot is this chat

[radiant sonnet]

toaster porn?

[limber dagger]

no comment

[long cypress]

Damn this my type of channel

[vestal marlin]

is Xsolla state owned?

or u just virtue signalling

[hasty adder]

Nah he's posting in the wrong channel again

[eager atlas]

Not to mention I'm pretty sure Steam does their keys now...

[fair onyx]

they always have but Xsolla is about transaktion and key delivery afaik

[eager atlas]

Yeah but to my knowledge that was before the Steam launch, idk about the website or if they do transaction still

The mods at least refer to Xsollas key distribution in past tense

[magic latch]

While i understand the post, this is in the wrong channel

[topaz jackal]

ok i think someone has raised this question before but i'm also curious about this
anyone realise how when you walk down the 1st hallway in the killhouse, the plywood wall hiding the 2nd target has a red marking on it?
i swear every time i load in the lobby and do a fresh run, that red marking changes
last night i did a run and it was an upside down U, now it's a U
anyone tried looking into possible links between the symbols and anything with the arg?

[radiant sonnet]

that just ain't right

[quaint granite]

Blunkn, I mentioned it before but don't think I got an answer.

I've seen it be an X, left facing arrow, downward arrow, line in several orientations, and just a dot.

yo what the fuck

yankee doodle dandee or some shit is playing in the station

isn't that only in the weird shrine room?

It stopped.

Fuck this, I just wanted to see if the new map had the anal staircase or not

[fickle storm]

it is in the shinre room

what were you doing

[quaint granite]

I'm in the ready room, literally equipping some armor

[fickle storm]

I belive to trigger it you have to stand next to a lone chair for 60 seconds or so

[quaint granite]

I walked back into the briefing room and it started playing

[fickle storm]

you heard it in the briefing room?

[quaint granite]

yeah

might be a bug

idk

[fickle storm]

was it all distorted?

[quaint granite]

yeah

[fickle storm]

hmm

[quaint granite]

slowed and fucked up sounding

definitely yankee doodle dandee though

[fickle storm]

yea we found a way to trigger that

but it sounds like you didn't trigger it on purpose

[quaint granite]

I didn't even enter the shrine room

[fickle storm]

hm

maybe they broke it

maybe its intentional

[quaint granite]

fuck fuck fuck

weird noises now

[fickle storm]

record it

[quaint granite]

It lasted like 10 seconds

[fickle storm]

i hope you got shadow play

[quaint granite]

think it's the chair thing

don't god shadow play

got*

the chair plays a second audio file, right?

[fickle storm]

if you were by the chair it was defiently that

[quaint granite]

I'm not by the chair, I think the game bugged out.

[fickle storm]

the doc talks about it

[chilly marten]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yagLpENXSqw does it sound like this one?

or is it in normal speed?

[quaint granite]

sounded like that sorta

audio seems to match up with what the doc says

must be a bug or a second trigger point

all I did was alt tab when I was selecting the G36

and then equip some armor and walk into the briefing room

definitely the audio from the chair

it triggered when I went to the chair as well

what the hell is this?

it apparently just appeared

anyone know how to decompile these?

could be a mod, idk.

[fickle storm]

what the MLO.bank?

[quaint granite]

the bank files are for voicelines

[ionic storm]

maybe the number after mlo is a code

[quaint granite]

what would it be in, though?

what the fuck is Ridgeline, by the way?

There's a file called Ridgeline.bank

then School Level.bank

that seems to actually have a large file size

[chilly marten]

how did u get that mlo.bank

[quaint granite]

no clue

just appeared after the weird audio shit

[fickle storm]

you got any mods?

[quaint granite]

just the EFT Bear mod

[fickle storm]

hm

[chilly marten]

tf

[quaint granite]

It's 2 kb smaller than Training Level.bank

maybe it's an unfinished thing?

[chilly marten]

well I dont have that

its either a mod or youre the chosen one

[quaint granite]

I hope it's a mod.

I didn't really even want to get involved in the ARG shit

[chilly marten]

do you feel like a hero?

[quaint granite]

no. not at all.

i suck at this game lol

There are some weird names for these files.

PVP Lines is self-explanatory

Ridgeline is weird.

School Level is a pretty big file

57k kb

[chilly marten]

lol yeah some of em are like that but its the first time I see an mlo file

[quaint granite]

I'm checking the VO files rq

might be something there

the hell is

HotelAxelRamone?

I'll upload the MLO file here

it seems to just be one of the audio archives

also

the numbers seem to be A1Z26

'stoplooking'

that's it.

[chilly marten]

'stoplooking' ?

[quaint granite]

that's what the decoder I used says

[chilly marten]

tf

[quaint granite]

divide it like 19-20-15

[chilly marten]

I wonder if someone knows something about this

[fickle storm]

atleast we got something

[quaint granite]

It's about the same size as Training Level.bank

[chilly marten]

I dont have that file tho thats strange

[quaint granite]

I can't decompile it

idk how to

by the way, what the fuck is the picture that keeps popping up in the ARG?

it seems to be an officer, maybe an MLO gunman with a crocodile or bird thing for a head

[chilly marten]

that was the clue gwynn gave on twitter ig

[quaint granite]

ah

[chilly marten]

Im really curious about that bank file

[quaint granite]

also

idk if anyone's noticed

[chilly marten]

maybe someone from nda channel knows about it

[quaint granite]

the twitter location for VOID is 'carcosa'

[chilly marten]

@fading birch you know anything about that .bank file?

[fading birch]

About what .bank file?

[chilly marten]

scroll up a little

[chilly marten]

@fading birch

[quaint granite]

I also uploaded the bank file itself

[fading birch]

This is interesting

[chilly marten]

hope youre not trolling us @quaint granite lol

[quaint granite]

I'm not

[chilly marten]

thats really interesting cuz I dont have that file lol

[quaint granite]

I'm just as confused as you are.

[chilly marten]

youre the chosen one ig

[fading birch]

Lemme check the VO files rq

[chilly marten]

RoN gods have chosen you

[quaint granite]

I think Payday 2 did something similar before.

During the hunt for the Secret.

[fading birch]

@quaint granite where did you find the file?

[quaint granite]

FOMOD folder

FMOD*

[fading birch]

Oh wtf

I don't have it

[quaint granite]

It appeared after the chair audio played in the briefing room

[fading birch]

This is interesting

[quaint granite]

It's basically the exact same size as Training Level.bank

[chilly marten]

that saying 'stoplooking' is spooky

is that the chair with a file thing on it?

[quaint granite]

could be a file that cloned automatically and renamed

[chilly marten]

if so its the carcosa file

[quaint granite]

Idk

[fading birch]

That'd make sense

[quaint granite]

it played the audio from the shrine room tho

I can walk you through what I did to trigger it.

I started single player, walked into the locker room, equipped the g36, looked at the darker area of the locker room, and then went back to briefing to look at the map, it started playing when I walked through the doorway

[fickle storm]

im gonna try and recreate that

hmm got nothing

maybe a bug

[quaint granite]

alright.

doesn't explain the file appearing, does explain the audio

[fickle storm]

yea the files weird

[chilly marten]

probably the audio trigger also created the file

'stoplooking' makes me think that you spent some time in lobby looking around, maybe the chair with the carcosa file on it caused all that

[quaint granite]

which chair has the file? There's one with a weird package, I didn't see a file on the one in the shrine room at a quick glance.

[chilly marten]

oh the chair in the shrine room.. I thought we were talking about the one in the main lobby

[chilly marten]

that weird package has carcosa name on it

[quaint granite]

does it?

I can't get a close look at it

[chilly marten]

yeah iirc

I thought you spent some time around it so it triggered that audio

[quaint granite]

I was standing near the chair sorta

the one with the folder under it and the package on it, right?

[chilly marten]

correct

maybe the game thought you were 'looking' for carcosa related things

so it basically said F off and created that file

[quaint granite]

that seems like a sorta random feature though

is MLO related to Carcosa?

[chilly marten]

probably

I wonder if anyone else has that file

[quaint granite]

Imma go back in with the camera mod and look around

[chilly marten]

aight

[quaint granite]

by the way

that part in the EVIDENCE video

where they're putting armor on the guy

looks like the spider image

that appears a lot

[chilly marten]

whole ARG thing is im pretty sure all in Judge's head. He's mentally broken lol

[quaint granite]

in the EVIDENCE_mlo/@1 video, that looks like Eli when it cuts to the front of the guy.

Maybe the MLO isn't a real thing.

Maybe it's like you said, Judge is going insane.

[chilly marten]

I wonder if theres anything else to see in lobby, why would it create a file saying stoplooking 🤔

[fickle storm]

I cant even get the yankee doodle dandy thing to trigger normally

[chilly marten]

well judging from some trailers and teasers im pretty sure we're dealing with some traumatized Swat members thats for sure lol

[quaint granite]

yeah, with the emphasis on one officer alone, despite the fact that they're in a team.

especially in the reveal

where it's the one member reaching for the kid.

[chilly marten]

yeah

[quaint granite]

it's got a very claustrophobic feel

package says

Return 1138 ave. [COVERED]
Carcosa 582 [2 seems to trail off at the end, Cursive?]

folder says

[chilly marten]

yeah it didnt lead to anywhere meaningful iirc

[quaint granite]

LAGUNA - 1099 SPEC
GH667981
HOST AREA Q - 1086 G

weird stamp

underneath that

symbols

looks like those seen in the ARG

briefing desk has something about UFOs and Lithuania

[chilly marten]

that looks like the Arabic writing we have on the new enemies

[quaint granite]

other paper has something about an indictment

[chilly marten]

why do I get a feeling of an imminent jumpscare when looking thru this arg stuff lol

[quaint granite]

to blurry to read

too*

Routing slip on desk too, cursive.

desk with PC has something about the CIA

what the fuck

DEVGRU, some classified prisoner release to the CIA's custody

Drone pictures, looks like middle east.

blank ID lanyard

cute doggo picture

[chilly marten]

afaik some stuff are placeholders or Unreal Engine props used to populate the scenes BUT there maybe some stuff around about that audio

surely something triggered it

[quaint granite]

empty room behind door next to modification bench.

I'm going through the station and looking

Killhouse wood is now blank?

no arrow or symbol.

[chilly marten]

wonder if they updated other maps with stuff, I havent played the old maps yet

[chilly marten]

wdym

[quaint granite]

that wood that has a target behind it

this is the first time I've ever seen it blank

[chilly marten]

thats it im launching the game

[quaint granite]

redundant staircase covered by fence outside ready room

entire greyboxed station

marksman rifles and generic remington-style shotguns hidden in the dark behind the quartermaster

[chilly marten]

try changing the decal settings to max

see if it changes that

[quaint granite]

didn't change

wait

what the fuck

it just did

red vertical line

i literally just watched it change from blank

i'm gonna check park homes and such in freecam

see if I can find anything

starting with the new club map

nothing on club

map is too unfinished right now

hold up

the shrine room,

it's the sepulchre.

definition of sepulchre is literally a small room or monument, cut in rock or built of stone, in which a dead person is laid or buried.

[chilly marten]

well the audio experiment failed on my part

it didnt play

[quaint granite]

huh

i'm checking park homes for secrets and shit rn

but the audio thing, at this point, I'm certain was a bug

[chilly marten]

not sure

only you have the file rn

afaik

so it must have something to do with that audio

yankee doodle is used on mlo related stuff too

so

uhm wrong channel pal

[quaint granite]

game crashed for second time.

[chilly marten]

if dont have a beefy system decals maybe causing those

[quaint granite]

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffff[...]

wrong fucking channel, pal.

imma down the texture detail a little

from epic to high

might be causing the crash

[chilly marten]

Yeah decals are taxing

They add so much detail tho

[quaint granite]

i'm just gonna check carriers of the vine rq

see if there's anything linking the suspects with the mlo

[chilly marten]

They have very similar militarized gear afaik

[quaint granite]

also, the MLO apparently had models in the game at one point.

[chilly marten]

Yeah the ones in the farm most likely

[quaint granite]

no, the ones at the farm are different.

huh.

here's where I found the original MLO models

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2228840570

[chilly marten]

I should replay all the old maps to see if they changed anything

[quaint granite]

they're different models for sure

they seem related though

strange symbols on the gear of the insurgents at the farm

holy shit

they are mlo.

they use the exact same gear models, including some patches.

the character itself has a different model for clothing

but they have MLO patches sometimes

i'm taking a break

[chilly marten]

lol

let us know if you can spot the same audio playing

[quaint granite]

k

[fickle storm]

Just curious has anyone tried using the baconion cipher on that long string of numbers we still haven't found out?

It is a 2 step cipher and we were told the solution would be 2 steps

[limber dagger]

the one with a fuck tone of zeros?

@fickle storm

I mean we already know how to decipher the part we have been given

i believe we are missing another cypher that will fit into the 0's

the two steps used are

Otcal -> binary
Binary -> text
Text -> a lot of fucking confusion

[fickle storm]

Yea the one with a fuck ton of 0's

[limber dagger]

yeah

[fickle storm]

What came out of it

[limber dagger]

will y

[fickle storm]

I mean did you try using baconion?

That cipher

It's differnt but we need differnt

[limber dagger]

well unless you can translate 39 consecutive 0's into text i do not think it will help.

also bacon is for letters if im not mistaken

[fickle storm]

yea your right sorry i thought you could use letters

i mean numbers

[limber dagger]

you should feel terrible

horrendous even

utterly devastated

its all good the more dumb shit we try the more dumb shit answer we get closer to

[fickle storm]

Guess that's all a arg is lol

[ionic storm]

how many opposing factions are there in the lore? Just the MLO? and the MLO is actually the hand which is an arabic group?

than they made a separate group to carry out false flag attacks to draw attention to the cause? but that group is actually still the hand just under a different name? i got really confused

[radiant sonnet]

I don't think we'll know for sure until it's more developed

We do know from the newsletter that there's a right-wing group in Penthouse

Maybe they're related to the MLO, maybe not

[fading birch]

'Murica

[radiant sonnet]

Also, playing Penthouse:
Not sure who Evelina is

[vestal marlin]

probably rich russian mob boss's daughter

[ionic storm]

im kinda lost rn are we stuck at a dead end? what is the main piece were analyzing rn? Or are we looking for new things that may have been added in the new update

[radiant sonnet]

Mostly the MLO

[full condor]

gotta say penthouse way too big map for my taste

played full squad took a damn long time to complete

[radiant sonnet]

Credit to NowThatsaGamer

[quaint granite]

What the fuck is it saying?

[fickle storm]

I'm gonna spectogram it

[radiant sonnet]

@fickle storm Someone else tried

but apparently nothing showed up

[fickle storm]

is there another chat for this?

[radiant sonnet]

I got info from supporter discord

[fickle storm]

so there is 2 chats

[radiant sonnet]

that nothing was detecteed in the spectrogram

[fickle storm]

well that saves me time

kinda dumb this isn't a all in 1 chat

[hasty adder]

Backer only chat is where most of the OGs are

[fickle storm]

ahhhhh

so we dont get communication with them

[hasty adder]

But everyone got pretty burnt out after the filename one

[fickle storm]

I can see that

A lot of people just stopped talking

[hasty adder]

I'm just too busy atm

And we have nothing to work with till another discovery is made

[fickle storm]

yea were at a dead end

[vague rover]

either a dev thing, or

just a game thing

like just part of the level

[ionic storm]

I’ve been assuming Evelina will just be a part of the map

Because if u go to the crack house you can see in the kids room the name Molly on the wall

[vague rover]

thats either just molly as in drug or molly

[ionic storm]

Like evelina is just gonna be a antagonists daughter or someshit

[ionic storm]

@fickle storm what was the last few leads we got besides what’s on the doc

Got some time to kill at work might as well brainstorm alittle

[fickle storm]

If im correct nothing. we had another thing but it was solved. At the moment we have the large number string no one can solve and I guess now the weird audio file

[ionic storm]

Okay cool

[fickle storm]

if im missing something someone can correct me

[ionic storm]

You see what people were saying in the general? Talking about foot steps in the HQ

Think this update added a lot for us to find tbh

[fickle storm]

i bet your right

ill do some digging in game tonight if i get time

[ionic storm]

Def got a few audio files to check out when I get home

Also gonna be spending a lot of time walking around spawn seeing if I can trigger anything on accident

[thin eagle]

just to confirm. This is true, running both the training level file, and your MLO file reveal exact same text, as well as exact bytes in the binary file. they are identical files. to the tee.

[topaz jackal]

where was this? club or penthouse?

is it decoded yet?
