In game would this be on the wall next to the hole in the wall on meth? It looks very similar to that area especially w the boarded up window there

#

I looked up the actual latin flower names and they dont work together to say anything useful

#

Some of them are internesting names, like filipendulas witch mean hanging thread, but it doesn't tie with the other plant names around it

maybe the letters can be rearranged idk im bored thinking too hard

Huh, really??

I was playing raid last night and it seems they’ve added a new side alley next to the main house

#

Could be a hint at opening even more houses up for action

regal spear
jaunty trail
#

That would be cool asf

#

Sorta like the Kabul map mod

#

I personally believe the paramilitary force in the game’s multiplayer and the arg with the flower might be neo nazis

#

Because I swear that video with them all raising their arms😳😳😳

#

Probably not though it’s just a theory

regal spear
#

I really wish that they would add some sort of overwatch or smt to help cover outdoor areas, but that would probably work better as a mod, there are things I think take priority tho for instance proximity chat would be amazing.

Judging by the time of day, this doesn’t appear to be meth. It is more likely valley

The news page refers to 413 Park Homes as 123 Park Homes.

It's valley

#

Ridgeline is more of a national park

but it being the valley of the dolls map makes more sense, I suppose.

the mansion map is literally named
"Valley of the Dolls"

YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T THINK OF THIS TOO NEGLECTED LIKE THE CHILD THROWN INTO THE DOGHOUSE

i know that there is a dead dog in the doghouse with pills, but i'm not aware of a child.

#

sorry for the two month old @s.

vital wasp
#

its ok

#

im up for discussion

bitter spoke
#

discord decided i needed to look at two month old messages instead of recent ones

#

anyway, im not sure the morse code i translated has been done yet.

vital wasp
#

the drawing is called needle man

#

unhinged nature is probably true

#

i think it represents torture

#

what do you think?

bitter spoke
#

how did you come to the conclusion of torture?

#

have we had any other allusions to 'needle man' other than the one picture?

vital wasp
#

torture out of psycopathy

#

is what i think

#

it also represents agony

#

pain that is impossible to escape from

bitter spoke
#

maybe it represents an addiction to heroin?

#

i dunno

vital wasp
#

well yea

bitter spoke
#

im not an artist nor a critic of it.

#

my first thought was 'looks like bird head dude beating up a guy' when i saw it.

vital wasp
bitter spoke
#

well, the art has been discussed in length before. however i am yet to see discussion of the morse code translation.

#

'neglected like the child thrown in the doghouse'

#

is very specific.

#

oh we have mariposa lilies at my house

#

neat.

mystic hemlock
#

Is it just them talking about the Government, abandoning them after they left the army?

#

I bet there is somthing else to it tho

radiant sonnet
#

especially with the heavy use of the mariposa lily

#

But the most we can reasonably speculate on is that they're not just disgruntled veterans and cops

#

they're vigilantes against organized crime and corrupt politicians

Yeah the pins seem a little out of date. I've been trying to catch up to what people are on about and it's not clear

#

I mean. They're mostly 4 years old at this point

eager atlas
#

All you need for the current one is the doc page, pretty much

fading birch
snow echo
#

Gotcha. I am new to ARGS all together, but is some of the environmental story telling in the game relevant at all? And I don't mean the ciphers posted in the most up to date document

fickle storm
snow echo
#

Ah, gotcha. I was just thinking of cataloging the child's bedroom in twisted nerve. Knives in the drawers, the drawings on the wall, chopped up teddy bear.

fickle storm
#

That is most likely related to the map lore and the scenery. The sepulcher is kind of its own story in a way.

snow echo
#

Probably irrelevant all together but the story it was telling was interesting

#

Yeah

#

I just figured it was an element in human trafficking. A layover for keeping a kid, since everything but that room in those houses are crap

graceful flame
#

i anxiously await the day this arg starts shitting out complex ciphers

#

all it takes is just one ADFGX cipher and we'll be here for years.

#

(i like cipherwork.)

eager atlas
#

Pretty sure the last one took.. weeks or months to figure out

fickle storm
#

I think 2 months almost

hasty adder
#

The thing that bothers me still is that the filename cipher was essentially solved with guesswork

#

We understood that it was in an octal format, but we never figured out where to find or decipher the string of zeroes st the end

#

So that makes me wonder what we missed

fickle storm
#

It also makes me wonder if that encription will be used again and were screwed unless we guess it

snow echo
#

What piece of information would you have needed to solve it?

fickle storm
#

What type of cipher it was encoded in

hasty adder
#

The filename had a string of zeros at the end that ended up being missing characters in the phrase it spelled out

fickle storm
#

or if it was even a simple cipher

#

could of required us to do something else

hasty adder
#

So even after translating the first part, we had no idea what to do to find the remaining words

snow echo
#

Sounds like an intuition thing then. Wheel of fortune

#

Uh. I don't know if this is because I'm using the phone ap.for discord but the MLO Google doc is saying it's deleted on my end

#

Yeah, it's no longer there

#

@hasty adder specifically the link to the MLO doc in your comprehensive doc

hasty adder
#

Some stuff might gotten deleted from prior users. I just copy pasted this one from long gone users

#

Which is unfortunately a kick in the dick to anyone in sepulchre if this ever starts up again

snow echo
#

Ow. Yeah, the background vibe of this game really has me curious too. Damn.

hasty adder
#

It's interesting, but I can't be sure if we're still stuck on something that is overlooked, or if we have to wait on updates. Gwynn is being oddly silent on this and it's been months

eager atlas
#

It's been like a monthhh, max

#

Have you tried emailing them CB_sip

hasty adder
#

Try 3 months plus

#

Since anything new has come out

#

And I've probably gotten blocked by Gwynn at this point. Otherwise I wouldn't even know who to ask

#

Last thing I got was stuff would come up in the coming weeks, and that was back on march 2nd

#

I've got a feeling that the delayed may update might have something to do with it, so I'm gonna keep my eye out

hasty adder
#

Not literally, but I did message them quite a bit

graceful flame
#

There was a cipher in CoD zombies revealed in 2013

#

It was on the loading screen and it was an ADFGX cipher

#

it wasn’t until 2018 that it was cracked

#

The method began to reveal itself when we used the transposition key ZOMBIE

#

but something wasn’t adding up until it was realized that it wasn’t even encoded in English

#

So the substitution mapping was swapped from an English syntax to a German syntax

#

which then revealed that one of the lines in the cipher was a filler line

#

a line that said nothing

#

The method was remove the fake line, apply the transposition key, map each pair to the first unused letter to the English alphabet excluding J, apply substitution mapping

#

It shat out a German sentence that translated to ā€œurgent the giant is in franceā€

#

2013 - 2018.

#

Cant forget the classic "what is this channel" "Has this been solved yet?"

jaunty trail
#

Is the arg officially named sepulchre Cus I found this

jaunty trail
#

Maybe it’s a clue to motivations of the paramilitary

#

In religion a sepulchre is a form of burial tomb

#

I couldn’t think on how it relates to the paramilitary tho

#

WAIT

#

I THINK I GOT SOMETHING

#

A sepulchre is a religious burial tomb

hardy parcel
#

and..?

jaunty trail
#

And carcosa is a city for the dead

#

Perhaps the paramilitary is a cult

#

Worshiping the concept of carcosa

#

As if it’s heaven

#

They sacrifice people to send them to carcosa

#

Which might explain the trailer in which the swat officer breaches a door and finds a bunch of people tied up

#

They are human sacrifices

#

Or I’m wrong

#

Who knows

hardy parcel
#

what flower

#

i know nothing about this arg btw

jaunty trail
#

The flower the paramilitary wear

jaunty trail
#

In Robert W. Chambers poem the sacrifice

#

He writes of a flower

#

Fitting the description of the flower worn by the paramilitary

#

Now

#

Carcosa is written of by mr Robert chambers

#

There’s a connection

#

I believe it’s mentioned in a book

#

The king in yellow?

#

I believe the paramilitary are cultists worshiping either Robert chambers or the fictional king in yellow

#

(Who is a character)

#

((But he’s known as the yellow king in the wiki I’m consulting))

#

The king in yellow is known also as hastur

#

Who is mentioned surprisingly in love crafts the whisperer in darkness

These might be the ramblings of an insane man but I might be on to something

Is there somewhere or something that can explain the "story" of the ARG? Even though I read through that google doc, I'm still having a hard time piecing where things are "storywise". To my understanding, there's some weird cult-like stuff happening, but that's pretty much the synopsis of what I read.

I know. Not the best synopsis, but it's what I could personally gather from the mountain of things you guys uncovered (good job btw)

That and what the 'norm' is for this ARG, kind of asking questions to know what it is that people are actually looking for. Otherwise just stepping in, it seems completely random

hasty adder
#

Well it really doesn't have much of a story at this time. I'll add a story tab in the future when we get more, but each thing we've decrypted has a small blurb about what the community thinks it means right now

#

Some ARG's are just that: random

We do not know for sure what it is right now,
but the working theory is that the MLO is a paramilitary anti-government/vigilante group made up of former cops and veterans.
They deliver summary justice to organized criminals while fighting swat (the "upholders" of "Corruption")
They use the mariposa lily flower as a symbol.
Lastly, they may or may not perform false-flag ops to raise attention to their cause

hm

#

alr alr

stone river
#

So has anyone read the first short story of the king in yellow?

#

It's literally an in-universe play write that holds influence and is censored and even banned in countries

#

A man reads only but a page of the play write of the king in yellow and is convinced he is in fact a ruler who will lead others into a coupe in overthrowing the US government and take his place

#

He gains followers and key agents but soon becomes paranoid that other's are plotting against him for the seat of ruler

#

He becomes delusional and is apprehended by authorities putting an end to the setting up of the coupe

#

The RoN official gameplay trailer mentions that a paramilitary is attempting to gain control over the city

#

So while that is all obvious now the question remains what is the influence that caused this to begin with?

#

Do the other short stories of the king in yellow hold any relativity?

#

The King In Yellow is a play that is described as "spreading like a disease". Anyone in the book's universe who has interest in literature know or have atleast heard about it, even people that intentionally avoid every semblance of it inevitably come across it.

#

So instead of the king in yellow being le cosmic horror xD it's more of a cautionary tale about book writers that naturally want for their works to spread to everyone for them to read or at least know but they overlook the meaning of their own words while they become further misconstrued by the readers which inspires them wrongly

#

Ask yourself this: Why would anyone make a play write that causes people to have bad things happen to them?
Maybe the starter of the paramilitary misperceived something that influenced them to form such an organization (Thinking aliens are invading and need to prepare by taking over a city to recruit soldiers, delusions of grandeur resulting in challenging the government, or anything a delusional mind can misunderstand and read it as a sign to take up arms.) As a consequence it spreads that misperceived influence on others which furthers even more chaos for the Los Suenos police department to bring order to.

but who knows

im not sure if anyone ever asked the question "why did they choose carcosa specifically"

a name which very little people have heard of before

#

tied to coordinants, tied to a base in the country, tied to a show

On the subject of the child and the doghouse: is there like... A deeper meaning behind it? It seems like literally just crackhead behavior, but the fact we had to look through files for an allusion to it is tickling my brain in a strange way.

#

I know this is absolute nonsense but it just seems strange that everything else has this supernatural tone to it but the whole "forgotten" thing almost makes me wanna think of MLO

hasty adder
#

As for old docs, they were deleted by the prior authors

#

I'm trying to write up a new doc that is segmented better, and I'm gonna include unsolved stuff and confirmed red herrings so people stop getting hung up on the same 7 things

#

Hopefully with a modernized doc we can also get the mods to delete all pins from the carcosa days

Gwynn said that nothing shared is meaningless, so I presume so

It could simply be telling us that more will come but who knows

Possible for ā€œThe Spiderā€ white box level to be connected to The Lost? It takes place in The Row neighborhood (ā€œDeaths Rowā€) and its name could be a reference to the spider drawings that can be found in some levels.

hasty adder
#

I'm gonna be honest, I suck so bad at RoN that I can't do in-gmae investigating without getting clapped lol

#

I'd need a possie to do that with.

hasty adder
hardy yew
# hasty adder Can you elaborate on the spider whitebox? I like your thinking though, since it'...

One of the new white box maps for Supporters is called Data. When you click on it the level title is ā€œThe Spiderā€ which I thought could be a reference to the spider-like drawings. The level itself is a data center in The Row neighborhood which I mentioned, and is said to be operating an illicit porn ring. Now that I think about it, this map and Valley of the Dolls could be connected since Valley’s map description states the person profiting from the ring lives in the mansion.

hasty adder
#

My guess for spider is spider web-like connections to other illicit things in the city, or maybe a suspect called "The Spider". I like the theories though

hasty adder
#

Some of the clues require the player character to be in certain spots as well, like the memorial easter egg. I'll look into that just to view things though!

strong idol
#

its just im one of the few left who still search

#

also if you need help searching kill the civs and suspects to get it done quick

hasty adder
#

Yeah this new update might have new goodies, but we're still stuck on our current stuff too

#

My current running theory is that the filename image still has clues to reveal since Gwynn said so, and that the heads also need solving

#

Anything that has been written in the Gwynn table has generally been commands or hints at what needs to be done

strong idol
#

The heads are from this artist that made some of the screens on hotel and i think some concept art

hasty adder
#

Ropolio? Yeah it's probably him

strong idol
#

yeah most likley he called it scary faces

#

i asociated it with head wounds from guns or explosions

#

like when a ww1 vet needed a sort of plastic surgery to fix their scars or missing tissue

hasty adder
#

But right now we desperately need to do some image stegonography, but it's a pretty odd set of skills to have

strong idol
#

Microdots involve shrinking messages to such tiny dimensions, they are made almost invisible. These also involve positioning ā€˜hard-to-see’ dots within a message to convey a specific message.

#

could work?

#

Digital: Involves the usage of digital mediums such as hiding information within
Text files
Image or picture files
Audio files
Video files

hasty adder
#

There are a bunch of methods, but the filename cipher does have a few odd bits

strong idol
#

like..

hasty adder
#

Just a few odd strings off the main image that was visible through some manipulation, but we didn't see anything with it the first time

strong idol
#

which image

hasty adder
#

The filename image. The one that's twisted

strong idol
#

where is a link for it

#

is it in pins?

hasty adder
#

It's in pins yeah. The one that took forever to solve

strong idol
#

the one of the guys holding each other or is it the one with the face in the backround

hasty adder
#

The guys holding each other with the fucked up faces

strong idol
#

ok ill give it a look

#

ill look for something in gimp

#

ill post images of weird things

#

kinda looks like a sheep

hasty adder
#

Try brightening the image. You might see a few odd splotches

strong idol
#

sheep is just a foot also ill try that

hasty adder
#

Yeah look at the original imag for reference too. They should be together in the doc, or maybe together in the pins

strong idol
#

these?

hasty adder
#

More in the bottom right if memory serves

strong idol
hasty adder
#

Hmm. I'll have to look at it again later then

strong idol
#

ill also try contrast

#

kinda right

#

more center right

hasty adder
#

Yeah that stuff was odd

strong idol
#

could be the smoke look at the first one i posted the

#

sholder area has it too

hasty adder
#

Could be yeah

strong idol
#

un brightened it and it was smoke

#

ill check

#

theres nothing there

#

ill contrast it

#

hmm

#

it goes with the red line if i contrast it it goes away

#

also seemed simular

#

started watching it recently

#

wait a minuate

#

i see marks on the flower one

#

shit im tripping

hasty adder
#

That stuff is from carcosa

#

Anything before this year is pretty much defunct

strong idol
#

fuuuuck

#

yeah but carcosa is sepulcher

#

just a change in name

hasty adder
#

There is text behind that stuff yeah, but no one ever solved that it seems

strong idol
#

i know what the text is

hasty adder
#

?

strong idol
#

its just i fucked to hard with the contrast and shit

#

if you watch the video its says like a release date for the early accses or some shit

#

its just i went into beans at 2am teritory

#

@hasty adder just a reminder on hotel lobby in the room with the staue there are some flikering lights that could lead to a message or code this was in febuary

hasty adder
#

Nothing led to that though. No trail at all

strong idol
#

but did we decipher it at all or was it just uninteligable

hasty adder
#

Pretty sure someone tried morse code, but if you wanna crack at it then that's be cool

strong idol
#

yeah me n some friends saw it shadowplayed it tried to slow it down n shit but we dont know if the light staying off is a stop or on

hasty adder
#

I would assume light on is the beep

#

That's how it's done irl

strong idol
#

yeha but it has a fade in at the end

#

like it goes off but slowley comes on

hasty adder
#

Dunno about that then. Like I said it's probably nothing since nothing ever pointed to that

strong idol
#

except for the statue itself

#

it had to be important or its just an easter egg to scare people

hasty adder
#

Nothing even led to the statue. People just randomly found that

#

I'm gonna guess the latter for now since it was in a Halloween update

strong idol
#

it was?

#

hotel lobby came out then?

hasty adder
#

Pretty sure yeah. Operators also got pumpkin heads i think

strong idol

ill check when the map was out

I took the numbers and corresponded them with the alphabet which gave me ā€œMLOā€ or ā€œACABAFā€ which I doubt lead to anything, but it was worth a try.

to further build on the methhouse/music box idea, there's a working musicbox sound in the child's room, so could be pointing to the soundfile?

tbf when i read of MJ_THETRUTH131215
i cant stop thinking of 2019 film Michael Jackson Chase the truth. Just cant find the numbers in, possible a date mentioned in the film like 13. Dezember 2015

#

and the upper part if the poster reminds me of the movie 1984

#

which would give a little context to the later, 1984 in combination with USIA, i find this on google

#

for context fir those who dont know: "Big Brother is watching you" is a phrase movie "1984" is famous for. So because USIA doesnt come exists tgere if i remember correctly it might be corresponding to the year 1984

#

wouldn’t it be funny if someone raised the contrast on the release video again and found something in a corner, again,

the fact that these aren’t even complete phone numbers

@quaint granite @radiant sonnet Theres the redwood forests on the new house test map. Seems very california to me, not texas. Perhaps this fictional parody of LA is closer the border. Doesnt have to be a 1/1 copy of LA geographically

mexican american populous

close to the border

it has an LA infrastructure but has the culture of San Deigo

It's alternate america so those cities probably don't exist

#

But this place is pretty much right on the border. The meth map shows that the cartel that controls the meth heads are making them dig to a drainage system that might even lead out of the border

#

For which I assume they intend to smuggle more product in or out with. Children can be included in the product section if you count the dozens of child photos and children's toys in the place

so @mystic hemlock im trying to normalize the audio and i think im getting close

the audio from the tape recorder didn't really feel like it fit in with the rest of the level

it's a little creepy

but it doesn't 'fit' i guess

it could be something, i hope it is

yo try this

sounds like yo stop dude

still fucking with pitch and slowing it down

#

reverse dosen tseem right but ill keep trying

bitter oyster

"please stop dude

strong idol
#

34 seconds in i hear okay

#

ill send the updated one

bitter oyster
#

.. is it blackmail material?

strong idol

i mean youve seen the map

it sounds better in this one

bitter oyster
#

reverb is still fucky but the voice sounds normal

could be amos

strong idol

yeah

#

it seems one sided but before any loud part thers a tiny bump in sound like a phone call where you can hear the other person but barley

bitter oyster
#

i dunno, i think i can hear another person.. very high pitched though

strong idol
#

hmm

bitter oyster
#

a woman? might be a little girl considering where this tape is

#

35-40 i hear a long okaaaay

she has access to children too

she is a tutor

#

5 secs sounds like someone mutturing stupid

ill try to fix the pitch and speed if i can

yeah, it sounds like "stupid"

yo i denoised it so the static isnt there

#

ill speed it up

it isn't 'stupid' but it is something else

yeah mabye

#

stupors?

stupors but that doesn't make sense

isnt stupor like being unconsius or smthn

#

ill try reverse without noise

oh shit

oh?

listen to the first line now

Kiss my ass

then do it

i can't make out the others but yeah

ill try to slow it down and up

#

and pitch but damn

bitter oyster
#

another thing, it is probably nothing

#

but one of the statues in the top floor living room (i think that's what it is) is named something like "i learned to read from my mothers knee"

#

"from my mothers knee" means to learn something from ones mother

strong idol
#

yeah

#

i think get out is lets get out

#

i mean it sounds like whispering now

bitter oyster
#

"kiss my ass (something) lets go, lets get out"

#

it isn't a sex thing

strong idol
#

or kiss my hand

#

kiss my hand come on lets go lets get out

bitter oyster
#

it sounds like a recording of someone breaking into this place and getting way more than they bargained for.

strong idol
#

they found the basement

#

lol

bitter oyster
#

there is a camera in the bathroom, stands to reason there is a lot more cameras people don't know about

strong idol

i didnt find that

bitter oyster
#

in the bedroom with the laptop there is a note on the wardrobe that says there is a camera in the bathroom

#

i'm trying to find a way to read some of the other notes

could be at like a party like the guy telling a girld we need to leave after telling someon to kiss my ass

it sounds like head tho

either you know or a mothers kiss

i think some of the shit here is arg related there was the flower on the updates for the update
