🪹the-sepulchre-arg

[edgy drift]

And that's where I think the MLO comes in.

I know the supernatural theory is controversial, but I can't shake the feeling that it's going to be more out there than the "super bad guy" organization.

[mystic hemlock]

Q. DOES THE GAME FEATURE A CAMPAIGN A. Yes, but it wont be available during the alpha.

I want to see the story, but I guess you need to wait for greatness

[edgy drift]

Everything makes me think occult, or something darker going on that's driving the city crazy. Kind of like Condemned: Criminal Origins.

There's too much parareligious iconography for me to think otherwise right now.

[mystic hemlock]

I agree with the cult thing, but I dont think they would go all the way to occult

Does that sentence make anysense? I dont think that is how cult and occult work

[edgy drift]

Yeah, it makes sense.

Sometimes, I think about how engrossing this whole thing is, and then just imagine that it's just a vehicle to build a basic plot for an eventual PvP OPFOR. And it has nothing to do with anything.

😂

[hexed coral]

I hope not

[tender scaffold]

What's the supernatural theory?

I just got the game and I'm already taken aback by the dreary atmosphere.

[halcyon canopy]

My current theory on the ARG? MLO is attempting a breakdown of modern society in Los Suenos (potentially elsewhere) and their leader wants to reclaim what’s been lost. (Unknown exactly what’s been lost)

Currently, I think the most unusual map is Cherryessa farm, as nearly everyone there is geared the fuck up, and with the most recent update, they have weird latin shit written on their clothing.

[tender scaffold]

MLO?

[halcyon canopy]

Mariposa Lily Organization

#🪹the-sepulchre-arg message

[tender scaffold]

Gotcha

Given how perilous LS is, it seems that plunging the world into chaos is a goal of whichever cult is brewing, or perhaps a means to an end.

[topaz jackal]

isn't hospital a continuation of club's plot

they captured an injured shooter during the club shooting
the hand wants him back

they look like passwords to me tbh

but idk where they would be input in

[hasty adder]

Again, I have to tell everyone. PLEASE DO NOT CALL RANDOM NUMBERS, EMAIL RANDOM EMAILS, OR VISIT IRL LOCATIONS

[terse horizon]

wait so am I not supposed to breach into random houses and clear them ?

[snow echo]

This whole thing isn't a recruitment ad for MLO in Minecraft?!

[coral wind]

also what about Janey Voll? anything worth looking into?

[mystic hemlock]

Oh I thiught it was just phone numbers we weren’t supposed to call

[hardy yew]

I've been wondering about this as well. It's obvious the birthday party was stopped mid-way through and most people left or ran away from the property (except for the civilians held captive by the Bolton security team). The warrant service itself seems like a trap/ambush set up by Amos. And as you said, "what about Janey Voll?". I think she either ran away, got handed off to Bolton security before SWAT showed up, or could be one of the people dissolved in the barrels based on the room in the photo lab with her face all over walls. I could be reading it wrong but it struck me as memorial type thing.

[coral wind]

i also think i noticed that one of the lost faces lines up with the face of the grandpa on the portrait in 213 parks main house directly left of the front door but this is just speculation and far fetched thinking which probably has already been checked as well

[minor quiver]

Doesn't the meth head they showed off in one of the announcements from a month or 2 ago, say some wired lines once he is arrested

Don't know if that would lead to anything

[topaz jackal]

there's a short haired tattooed girl at the party
if you arrest her, one of her voice lines is "what's my dad gonna think seeing me in cuffs?"
that could be amos's daughter

and given how the face pieced together in the basement bears some similarity i think that's janey

not sure about the other girl who appears on the tv, i think could be another daughter or the wife, or just a pornstar hire

[half torrent]

it's the senators daughter from the hotel map but spawns there too

[coral wind]

there is also a hotel shirt in the pit of unfortunate events downstairs

however my first thought is that it is most likely a filler prop that doesnt mean anything ARG wise

[snow echo]

I wouldn't put.much stock in the npcs on the dolls mission. Save for the guards and Voll himself, they're all reused assets

[coral wind]

yeh thought so

[finite grail]

Has anyone ever checked Port Hokan before? It's got some interesting decals...

[queen ferry]

Anyone seen port hokan's skull decal on hallway on the 2nd floor changed?

[somber patrol]

I think it's simply black now instead of white

[sacred lotus]

I probably assume that the russian mob seen at port hokan has something to do with the MLO

[coral wind]

This is what i meant earlier, probably has already been done by people but thought the resemblance was quite big

[minor quiver]

interesting

[warm notch]

b-but- rendevous court looks coololl

[hasty adder]

I didn't make the correlation. Nice find

[ornate bloom]

Maybe that's what bring us together meant

[hasty adder]

An interesting theory. I'm not sure what other heads might be out there though

[coral wind]

i havent really looked in other maps yet, i was planning on doing that tonight

I also had another possible theory i want to try out which is coloring in all the dark parts of the faces and then link them up together to see if this forms a word or a number or anything really

[hasty adder]

The only thing about the first head is that it may need to be mirrored to match the art you found

[snow echo]

Search the game for creepy ass faces. Coo

Yeah, one needs to be flipped

[somber patrol]

The more I look at this face, the more it reminds me of port hoken skull, though it doesn't align quite as well on right side of the face

[fickle storm]

that makes a lot of sense actually

[humble warren]

The nose is a bit off

[coral wind]

Yes

[hardy yew]

Oh yeah that's true I think you're right. Seems weird that securing her wasn't a level objective though.

[coral wind]

Where is it located in port hoken?

[somber patrol]

First stairs that only lead from first to second floor, on raid there's a hallway that's blocked by rubble, in barricaded suspects you can walk there

[coral wind]

Got it ty, ill inspect it rn

[queen ferry]

is this one recent? or pre patch

[somber patrol]

Made it yesterday

In one of google docs there's same graffiti before patch, it was white

[queen ferry]

that is really weird, yesterday my graffiti was like this

it was on raid on port hoken

[coral wind]

port hoken got me feeling like this

[queen ferry]

mine was exactly on my photo, maybe the graffiti changes everytime we play a round of port?

[somber patrol]

Just checked, that's mine in raid

This in barricaded suspects

[coral wind]

Theres a same one directly on the left on him

[somber patrol]

There's also the same one

[finite grail]

I def remember the teeth being clearly white but now it's not?

[somber patrol]

So it might be just a graffiti for atmospheric purposes and nothing special

[somber patrol]

There is one in google docs, it's the same skull, but white

[finite grail]

Ah. I never checked the 2nd link in pinned lol.

[coral wind]

i see this one

[somber patrol]

Other stairs, there are stairs that lead to upper floors and there are stairs that only lead to second floor overlooking main hangar

[finite grail]

2F

also lol

[coral wind]

so that skull with face 1 would be this

The face is mirrored

i personally think its not too accurate but ill wait for other people their thoughts

[finite grail]

It does seem like a good fit like the last one you posted

[coral wind]

it does fit pretty good true

but thats cause i overlap them accurately

as the background one is never the same size due to distance, angle etc

[finite grail]

There were also some scattered QR codes in the office next to that skull but my phone wouldn't pick em up lol

oh wait they're everywhere on the map. nvm probably just filler assets

[coral wind]

i do scan them just in case

🙂

[finite grail]

bird man

[coral wind]

🙂 so not that important?

[finite grail]

Lady in the Container is being fed Dogfood, maybe alludes to ```YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T THINK OF THIS TOO NEGLECTED LIKE THE CHILD THROWN INTO THE DOGHOUSE

idk just random thoughts while i fly through port hokan lol

kinda reminds me of the lady being dragged in the triptych images from carcosa

[coral wind]

could be

[finite grail]

I just realized the spider's legs are made of bodies and its eyes of heads

cool detail

[finite grail]

and apparently this guy's called the "needleman"

[coral wind]

Yes the spider is also in port hoken

only the render distance of the texture is very low

[oblique glade]

I wonder will it be possible for Ron devs to have sort of collab with SCP

Eerie climate of an abandoned industrial compound with something abnormal lurking in the shadows

[maiden bobcat]

No.

[finite grail]

oh.
i just realized something (unsure if it's been pointed out before)

filename of head on the right was BRING US TOGETHER
and the left was REUNITED THE DAWN IS NEAR

right? (atleast that's what it looked like according to the doc)

and the image above came with the text W̴a̸k̴e̵ up. Remember. Your country needs you.
seems to me that it's as if it's reminding us of those two phrases (in the filename)? Maybe that's like, where the next step can be found?

idk anymore

[somber patrol]

Maybe "reunited the dawn is near" means time on map where we have to find clues?

[finite grail]

My guess exactly

[somber patrol]

Closest to dawn we've got are park homes with 0330 or caesar's dealership with 0440

[finite grail]

idk what they mean by bring us together but i did get this cool image from layering 3 of the 6 heads lol

from these three

[somber patrol]

Was fairy tale in caesar's dealership investigated?

[finite grail]

fairy tale?

[somber patrol]

There's a conference room with recording playing over and over, a fairy tale about wolf and seven goats

It's fitting lore of the map so I want to get it out of the way, it's either simply map lore or has something to do with this weird "reuntied the dawn is near"

At first glance haven't found anything there, only this girl form, don't think her signature has any relation to anything though

[finite grail]

funny how "trinity" is there and i used 3 images to make that one up there

related maybe? probably not

[somber patrol]

There are three trinities on that board

Only this one has weird signature

[snow echo]

Think this'll match one of those spooky faces?

Also, anybody check out inedible.red ?

OH.

It's an asset website

[queen ferry]

can the face be matched with this?

[snow echo]

Guess I'm gonna figure out how to overlay stuff sometime

[finite grail]

try photopea.com

it works exactly like photoshop

[snow echo]

never messed with shoop but thanks

[snow echo]

Hold up. Filename in the doc. 'SWEETLOVEFORPLANETEARTHII'

Voll's daughter is a big environmentalist

[graceful flame]

wait huh?

[bitter spoke]

theres lots of stuff in her room about environmentalism.

[topaz jackal]

wait
holy shit

[graceful flame]

oh I never noticed because I normally get fucking beamed in that room

[topaz jackal]

i didn't notice that connection

i saw the stuff on climate change protests but never realised

[ionic storm]

Bro is big brain for that

[graceful flame]

ok let’s rub our smooth brains together for a second and try to get a functioning neuron

sweet love for planet earth plus environmentalist

what’s the possible result here

what connection could she have?

[bitter spoke]

connection to MLO?

[ionic storm]

Can it be a cover?

Like a fake name?

[bitter spoke]

we know her father was really into her 'purity'

[topaz jackal]

the overarching objective void has given us is that a cult-like militia is out there and they probably want the country to burn
so i have no idea how ready or not's epstein and his daughter are connected to this

unless you're saying the militia also has environmentalist motives

[bitter spoke]

i've kind of been living under a rock as far as the sepulchre lore goes as of late, but i havent seen any correlation between Voll and MLO

i'm sure that y'all have noticed by now, but the crackhouse convenience store (on raid, at least) has gotten a fresh coat of paint, so there could be something new to look at there.

[snow echo]

I doubt that MLO would be teaming up with the badguys

If anything, they'd want the crime rings, the human trafficking to stop

-This matches the drawings of the methheads on Park 213

It's all over the Voll house

just a random connection in game

chasing the bug or whatever

Im not seeing anything interesting in Janey's room, going to work my way back out to the garden outside

Since... mulch I guess

[halcyon canopy]

Idk but I feel like we’re missing the importance of Cherryessa farm

Those guys are armored to the fucking teeth since the update’s release and yet I haven’t seen any discussion about them, since… before the update released

[somber patrol]

Don't really think so, my bet is that those NPCs are just a placeholder, there was a dev diary where void showed us concept art for "cultists", who look like the ones who are supposed to be at farm

It's like that red distorted image as a clue, we can't really make a definitive conclusion because it looks like "anal staircase" club which isn't in the game yet

[halcyon canopy]

Anal staircase was like 5 years ago dude, you sure they didn’t just scrap that area and reformatted it into Neon Club?

[somber patrol]

Well we got Ridgeline, from the same reveal trailer

And hotel lobby

Clue is recent, if void really reformatted anal staircase into neon tomb, then they've swapped color pallete into blue, not red

[minor quiver]

I mean they wear in some spooky trailer

https://youtu.be/yagLpENXSqw

[snow echo]

Oooooh

The flower IS an eagle's head

[olive kayak]

MLO is cryptic

But they'll eventually write them in one way or another

[hexed coral]

Who are the people at the farm exactly? Do we know anything about those guys?

[snow echo]

Not much yet

[wary hemlock]

damn yall have made zero progress on this arg

[halcyon canopy]

Yup

[somber patrol]

Personally don't think that there's anything worthy atm, we need to wait for new levels

[lilac lotus]

Is there a place to get a full sepulcher run down?

[eager atlas]

Pinned doc

[lilac lotus]

Ty

[coral wind]

what map was this image found?

[coral wind]

I doubt this is the case, i think our brains are just thinking to difficult, Maybe overlapping previous clues found or something

[edgy drift]

I could see Carriers of the Vine getting turned into a raid on the MLO, set later into the sequence of the missions.

[eager atlas]

I believe they're different organizations

[edgy drift]

Playing devil's advocate, though, maybe not. The Farm guys seem like separatists with specific skins already made for them to that effect. MLO seems pro-order but probably anti-establishment.

[halcyon canopy]

You’re not supposed to call or email anyone+ those things have been discussed before

[halcyon canopy]

On the farm

[halcyon canopy]

Now beginning to think that farm is just run by a regular old ass militia that’s mad at gov and corporations, and not a legit cult

Only concern is the triangle on the ACH helmet, which I haven’t been able to find any resemblance with anything in the game or on the internet. If anybody can find anything, post it here

[somber patrol]

Caesar's dealership, there was a room where it used to have water pumping equipment or similar stuff, now bordello

[coral wind]

ill check the dealership in a sec

I have a general question though, if we do solve the clue, would it automatically lead to the next clue, or do we have to submit the answer and then if its valid we are granted the next clue by the creators of the ARG?

[coral wind]

Or dawn = where the sun rises (east) so the map we need to find the next clue on could be either the farm or port hokan

[ivory basin]

That and the reason we're at the farm is because they shot a cop on their driveway and just hunkered down. Not exactly the M.O. of the cult that we've seen thus far

[unique glade]

I think it's just a sticker that lights up in the dark so you can identify that person, don't think it's a clue

[topaz jackal]

we usually just tag guinevere and ask if it's correct, she's overseeing our progress with the arg

[topaz jackal]

that's the detail that's left me confused
why are those floors cordoned off?
who wrote that last line?

[topaz jackal]

and why tf are these appearing everywhere?

[coral wind]

So if we put assumptions/thoughts in here and if they are correct Guinevere will not respond, unless we tag Guinevere in the post?

my thought as of "Bring Us Together" was that with 7 faces of the lost (HOME and 6 other , or home is the same as listed below im unsure) that it could relate to the 7 deadly sins.

[coral wind]

Molly is the girl from park home 312 Barricaded Suspects

[finite grail]

seeing this image again, it reminds me of the guy with the head blown off in gas

[snow echo]

I'm assuming mindjot is lika a Twitter/Facebook analog

[snow echo]

I'm more curious about the floors and consequences of calling them in the story than pushing 1 digit on a phone trying to call someone irl

But yeah, trying to wrap my head around the clues, I'm beginning to believe they're found outside the game. Bought the yellow king audio book, going to be diving into referenced material by the ARG.

[snow echo]

A Sepulchre is a pretty good place for the dead and mulch to be brought together?

[coral wind]

i am starting to think the same knowing all other clues were found outside

Im currently looking into the Bishop of Ely

[snow echo]

Reading decaff's doc, the brisa cove level is the closest direct in game tie to MLO

[ivory nymph]

hey dudes is there somewhere I can get the lore on this stuff from the beginning up until what is known now?

[warm notch]

the

the

the

pinned comments

first dog

[ivory nymph]

sorry, got it

[warm notch]

ye

[ivory nymph]

not sure if this is the correct channel for this but did anyone receive schizo messages from multiple random accounts when they first started playing the game?

On steam, usually from blank accounts with only RON installed, it freaked me out kinda

[eager atlas]

Like in private messages? I don't believe those were related to this

[ivory nymph]

i dont think so either but it was messages relating to stop playing the game as the developers have ties to sketchy organizations and then multiple random numbers

probably a schizo but it weirded me out

[eager atlas]

Theres only like 1 or 2 accounts max related to the ARG

They've never randomly schizo posted to users before I believe

In DMs I mean, their posts have been limited to here

[ivory nymph]

interesting, i was just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience

[ivory nymph]

and yes sorry, it was in private messages

[eager atlas]

Probably just random weirdos

[warm notch]

do you ahve their pfps? or at least their tags?

[ivory nymph]

is there a way to find older steam messages?

[eager atlas]

If it was on Steam, then it was 100% not related to the ARG

Thought you meant on Discord

[ivory nymph]

2 of their pfps had Goyas depictions of Christ and his drawings from Dantes Inferno which I recognized immediately because I love his drawings

[ivory nymph]

then this confirms that it was just some weirdos i guess

[eager atlas]

Yeah I thought you meant "Home" here on Discord, can't find their name, number cipher

[hasty adder]

Some dude schizo posted in the comments of the old doc

But they were blocked shortly after

[ivory nymph]

ill take a look, it just seemed odd that someone would go through the trouble of creating multiple accounts and then buying RON on each of them just to message people which i suspect to be the case

[hasty adder]

It's schizo posting. The messages are gone too

[ivory nymph]

odd that this game seems to attract those types

[graceful flame]

considering the subject matter

[oblique glade]

Well Ron takes on really mature and serious stuff, and people love controversy

[graceful flame]

I’m not surprised

[oblique glade]

So yeah that comes as no surprise

I think it will only get worse if devs do what they plan

Like school scenario

Or terrorist attack on a hospital

[stone helm]

I don't know if the eco-terrorist angle still stands, but Janey is crazy into environmental protection and was looking into a environmental protection university on her computer

[somber patrol]

Were there supposed to be eco terrorists?

[stone helm]

I remember a long time ago someone mentioned that it was eco-terrorism related cuz one of the image was named about love for mother earth or something

[radiant sonnet]

since when did terrorists care about the environment

[somber patrol]

Since aggressive eco supporters commit stuff close to terrorism

My favorite book on subject is rainbow six

Though it's not a documental book

But good read

[stone helm]

I mean people do crazy shits for different reasons

Also per US definition and patriot acts extreme environmentalists can be categorized as terrorists

[warm notch]

SWEETLOVEFORPLANETEARTHII.png

[stone helm]

Thank you :3

[warm notch]

nice prog song if you havent listened to it

very…loud

by Fuck Buttons

9 minutes 41 seconds

[safe bane]

long song

[lilac lotus]

Let me see if I have this right. The military extremists are MLO and the are connected to the Lost. What does the community think about the human traffickers? They use pictograms that could be construed as a perverted flower, like that found in the cellar of the Voll house, and the head in the center of the pictogram resembles the malformed heads found in the clues. But MLO and the human traffickers seem diametrically opposed so this could barking up the wrong tree

[eager atlas]

Nothin about the organization otherwise points to traffickers

[lilac lotus]

The meth heads in 213 also use religious imagery, and the scrawl in the basement of Voll house houses a sort of shrine to those children that are held there seemingly worshipping their innocence. Has anyone analyzed the names of the children on the folders?

[snow echo]

Only connection I can see to the current stuff in eco terrorism is the whole mulch bit. But that was related to a short story that's pinned in the current doc.

I know Voll's daughter is a fan of the dj that plays at the neon night club, because of her posters

Cool facts, doesn't relate to arg as far as I can tell

[ivory nymph]

Is there an agreed upon theory of the overall goal of the MLO/Lost? there seems to be a general inkling from the information received so far but it seems to go deeper than disaffected vets/ultranationalists

[graceful flame]

It’s some kinda cult all we know

we have an idea that it’s patriotic, possible disgruntled cops looking to fuck shit up

[native rivet]

Am I the only person who calls hotel, bank?

I've always thought it was a bank when i saw it

[graceful flame]

I wish we had a bank level

[ivory nymph]

i feel this way too, cant help but feel like theres something darker/spiritual/more esoteric about all of it though

[native rivet]

I hope not, that would be stupid for a tactical SWAT shooter

THE FUNNI ARG

[ivory nymph]

not saying that it would play into the overall "lore" (for what little there is) of the game but it would certainly add a cool dimension of mystery to the environmental story telling

i suppose it already has though with the whole 'stand next to the lone chair in memorial room' thing though

[native rivet]

I'm unhappy with the direction they are taking, SWAT 4 had a cult, SWAT 4 didn't have an ARG or anything "spiritual" or esoteric, from my memory

[ivory nymph]

idk something about being a door kicking grunt coming to a place like Voll/213 and picking up on shared clues between these residencies and becoming wrapped up in the whole mystery of their connection and overall conspiracy is interesting to me

[azure thicket]

I mean there is an IRL religion that is environmentalists that believe that the best thing to do is to kill all humans, because we are the source of most of global warming and shit

[ivory nymph]

also most cults are spiritual in nature

[safe bane]

arg

[azure thicket]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_Movement

[ivory nymph]

but of course i agree it shouldnt play to heavily into the game itself as cool as the ARG is

[azure thicket]

A very unlikely lead if y'all think Jane is a member of the cult thing,

[azure thicket]

Which college, do you know?

(Found it)

Greenside Ecological College

Well, few new things to keep tucked away incase they ever come up, "GreenJaney_V"
"22071996"

[ivory nymph]

what does the MINDJOT stuff mean?

this text is everywhere

[azure thicket]

It's most likely stuff we don't have the full answer to,

it seems like they're somewhat a security company

[ivory nymph]

interesting

it seems to be written everywhere, not just relating to the company

[azure thicket]

They might be this game's version of big tech

..because the map they show up in is called "Data Center"

[ivory nymph]

did anyone ever pull the audio file from the recording in the Voll basement btw?

[azure thicket]

Hey, what the hell was this ever about?

[strong idol]

i dont think it was anything like the peeper room in hotel rooms

[snow echo]

looks like a portapotty on deployment

[safe bane]

woman

[oblique glade]

Who are the assultants in the mansion?

I thought it was a security team from mindjot

[hard shard]

Non Mindjot related security.

[rocky thunder]

Bolton security iirc

[oblique glade]

Why did they turn rouge they were supposed to protecting a party and things went south due to?

[hard shard]

They didn't? They're fighting SWAT because of the unfortunate situation in the basement they're legally implicated in.

[rocky thunder]

They are hired by Voll as site security.

[oblique glade]

I thought things went south if there isn't many people

[azure thicket]

I think SWAT would wait until a lot of innocent civilians left before they poked a bees nest.

"innocent" in this case includes those willing to send their kids to a porn star's house.

[oblique glade]

Well it kinda makes sense if the majority of hostages are mansion staff

But yeah now I question my methods

These guys were innocent (to some extent)

And I went in as if they were terrorists

[rocky thunder]

Who did you think was terrorists the security?

[oblique glade]

I thought it's some fake security company

[hasty adder]

You can see how voll was already burning evidence in his penthouse

[oblique glade]

Yeah hard drives in the bathtub

[bitter oyster]

@oblique glade in my opinion, i think it is Compromised Bolton Security guys, we did look into the audio file and it appears to be a security recording between two men (possibly 2 bolton security guys who didn't know how fucked their assignment was) and both of them have accidently entered the basement.

i think it went something like

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

[rocky thunder]

I wouldn't think compromised individuals rather a dirty security agency in general

I mean if the moneys good enough why not take the job kinda thing

[oblique glade]

More like mercenaries

Than security firm

[rocky thunder]

Yeah really, since they seem to not be comprised of the most well behaved people

[oblique glade]

Maybe every organisation is somehow connected

[rocky thunder]

Nah seems to much of a stretch

[oblique glade]

We will see how the story will unravel

[rocky thunder]

I dont think Yemeni terrorists and US vets are gonna be teaming up

[oblique glade]

I think about it more as there's some syndicate behind it corporations or something like that

[rocky thunder]

It seems like any connection between the organizations would be able to be determined through the environmental story telling that void masterfully puts into their level designs like how port and dealership are connected, and (possibly agency with voll)

[ivory basin]

Arresting them produces lines like "You don't understand, we're doing this to get by."

So yeah, pretty sure they're just paid a hefty sum to consider shooting at SWAT to secure their income.

[oblique glade]

Too bad they died for their salary

Actually can we just damage them not kill them incapacitate at best.

?

[ivory basin]

Well they fake their deaths quite a bit from my experience

[oblique glade]

Well you can't fake your death if you got a hole in your head

So better comply

And suspects can easily kill you

So from my side its extra precaution

[ivory basin]

I mean I just employ the double tap method. Gotta be sure with those extra aggressive types

[topaz jackal]

it was

look around in the hollywood level
you'll see envelopes holding sums of money and letters from amos himself saying it's theirs if they shut up about his deeds

the guards were bribed

i guess all we have are directionless discussions until void or gwynn drops something we can work with

we know the daughter's a huge climate change activist
which may be related to sweetloveforplanetearth
and we know mindjot is a data company with weird underscores and text+number strings everywhere

[oblique glade]

Or we missing some crucial information

[rocky thunder]

Yeah I feel like it's like "We need a sign from Gwynn" at the same time the signs are all around us and we just don't know it

[topaz jackal]

unrelated but
kinda weird that a data company needs guards packing so much heat from what i see in the concept art tbh
tf they need automatics and helmets with visors for

i don't think mega.nz or cloudflare even gives their site guards that much stuff

[rocky thunder]

Its not an ordinary datacenter

[snow echo]

For the guards, they're already implicated in the crime. Probably why they're willing to fight to the death and maybe escape with Voll. I figure the ones who found out, called in sick, given the schedule they had

As for mindjolt, like I said, probably a Facebook/Google/Twitter analogue. They'd want real security for that stuff and I can't imagine those companies are just going to comply with just a city's police department

I'm looking forward to shooting those nerds in the nuts with beanbag shotguns

[ivory basin]

They'd have to have done some incredibly sketchy stuff to even get a warrant from a local PD

[snow echo]

I mean it's a tech company, lol

Google got rid of their 'do no evil' ethos for a reason

[oblique glade]

Well I am pretty sure Google has the best of the best to protect their most valuable data

And it's easy to conceal a submachine gun with folding stock

[rocky thunder]

"Their most valuable data" really is "your most personal data"

Its like printing money

[oblique glade]

I think they got something much more valuable than information what porn do you like or your bank account

[rose trench]

Okay so what tf is all of this

[rocky thunder]

Is it my turn to say "check pins" ?

[halcyon canopy]

Yes

[safe bane]

check pin

[rocky thunder]

Check pins

[rose trench]

I read through the document and holy shit it's interesting

[rocky thunder]

Nice now solve the puzzle

[rose trench]

Aha haha, n o

[oblique glade]

It's a complete puzzle

Or do we missing a piece

[rose trench]

So what was the conclusion of the puzzle?

[plucky rivet]

The party on the valley of the dolls map wasn't abandoned halfway through. There's notes left for them stating how much fun they had and talking about cleanup. I think it even mentions the party "Yesterday"

[oblique glade]

Then why there's food all over the place

[plucky rivet]

Checking it now

Something new(?) I found. Was this always on the rocks near the garden?

[rocky thunder]

Looks like something similar to the handprint on the statue

[plucky rivet]

Which statue?

[plucky rivet]

I was incorrect on a "Yesterday" but I did find these. It always felt to me like it was the day after a rager which is why everything is just left there

So the party was on the 16th but the log is from 4/22 which makes me think that the party stuff we're seeing is just remnants

[rocky thunder]

Top floor right on the stairs case. Dark statue hand print on it and note next to it. The staircase in the area connected to the gym

[plucky rivet]

OR just wonky dates

[oblique glade]

Uh I don't think party took 6 days

So most likely wonky dates

[plucky rivet]

I don't either but I could see it as a leftover thing. I didn't really see anything here as signs of panic, more so just mess that hasn't been cleaned yet

[plucky rivet]

It's gone

Ah never mind, I was thinking a different one

[oblique glade]

There are phones calling scattered around

[hexed coral]

After 6 days the outdoor area would be covered with flies and rotting food

[plucky rivet]

At valley? It's just one phone

[oblique glade]

Also car is on ebay

[plucky rivet]

Right just wonky dates. I'm talking about the layout of the map and things. I don't think there was a raid mid party like someone mentioned. I think the raid was a day or hours after

[oblique glade]

Another thing is

Where is Janey?

[hexed coral]

Agreed

Is janey the same girl as the basement mural? Or is that some other young woman?

[plucky rivet]

We never got an answer

[oblique glade]

Im Janey is room there are pictures of her

[hexed coral]

I think it’s a different girl

[oblique glade]

Daniell is not her biological mother

[hexed coral]

So what do you think about the foot prints and hand prints? I didn’t notice the foot prints until now

[plucky rivet]

Probably just some misc map lore

[hexed coral]

Sorry that’s prolly off topic for the arg

[rocky thunder]

Nah its gotta be Janey since voll seems obsessed with her "purity"

[oblique glade]

Well Janey got warnings from Daniella to do not touch stuff or she will inform dad

[plucky rivet]

The warning isn't for Janey

[oblique glade]

So Daniella probably knoes about the entire proceder

[oblique glade]

Read the name above

[plucky rivet]

That's an A and an A

[rocky thunder]

And an L at the end

[hexed coral]

We know nothing on this jamal huh? I’m surprised there are no photos

[oblique glade]

That's e

[rocky thunder]

In what world

[plucky rivet]

Dude. Look at the E in "Little"

[oblique glade]

I mean think of it who is Janal

[halcyon canopy]

Doesn’t Danella like

[plucky rivet]

That's def 2 A in the name

[halcyon canopy]

Not know how to spell and shit?

[oblique glade]

Well yeah

[hexed coral]

Yeah it’s Jamal

[rocky thunder]

Also why the heck are they switching between cursive and regular writing

[oblique glade]

You can see that by reading invitation letters written by her

[halcyon canopy]

She doesn’t know how to write properly

[rocky thunder]

Makes sense

[oblique glade]

She's from Romania

[viscid spire]

does anyone have the new update yet? anything new?

[oblique glade]

I don't think anyone yet get into it

[rocky thunder]

Probably not if its the same as supporter build

[eager atlas]

There isn't stuff in the game related to the ARG often if at all, really

[rocky thunder]

There was like 1 thing honestly

[oblique glade]

Weird thing is in Janey's room girl on the picture is brunette

In the basement it's blonde

[plucky rivet]

I really wish we had like a Map lore room or something for this level of stuff

[halcyon canopy]

Yeah

[oblique glade]

I thought that's the right place

[halcyon canopy]

Nah the arg is different and usually pertains to shit outside the game

[viscid spire]

I honestly dont know why this arg is still up anyways, this was supposed to give us something to do while waiting during the gameplay trailer.

[oblique glade]

Arg is acronym from?

[rocky thunder]

Cuz its interesting

[viscid spire]

now its just a bunch of random ass images with nothing to guide us

[oblique glade]

It's pretty much treasure hunt

[rocky thunder]

It keeps my cro-magnun brain stimulated

[oblique glade]

Though I don't know what is the treasure

[rocky thunder]

Maybe the treasure is blossoming?

[oblique glade]

Let's see how devs will award those who manage to solve the riddle

[halcyon canopy]

Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way

[rocky thunder]

No

Maybe the real treasure is a pit of plants and human bones

[snow echo]

Maybe we all mulch

[minor quiver]

pretty sure something happens to the game if we figure it out

[oblique glade]

Yeah it will get deleted from steam /j

[tidal sonnet]

I had an idea reading through the stuff, and fair warning I might be off my schizo pills on this one or smth, but what if the mindjot usernames aren’t actual accounts but keywords for either previously unsolved ciphers or alternatively keywords for future ciphers (by keyword I mean like you get a random string of text that requires a keyword to unscramble.)

[azure thicket]

I double tap in Raid or if we're getting flooded by a shit ton of bullets and I gotta move outa wherever the hell I am currently

[olive kayak]

jamal

search the records

every single one of th em everywhere

gas station poster perhaps

[olive kayak]

daniella's into it

she literally sleeps with the guy who's behind it

janey, most likely not

but her parents sure are

[oblique glade]

I mean I thought Daniella is oblivious

[olive kayak]

she's a pornstar married to a porn director who makes cheese pizza

[oblique glade]

When it comes to hobby of husband of hers

[olive kayak]

she's into it

[oblique glade]

Quick question who came up with such scenario

I want to congratulate this person for thinking outside of the box

And I really appreciate how much creative thinking went into story telling

[halcyon canopy]

Late but yeah it is, the person who wrote it doesn’t know how to spell shit

[torn dew]

Added cicadas to valley. Could this be the insect were supposed to follow?

[topaz jackal]

was about to blurt out cicada 3301 before realising it's unrelated

i mean if they really are referencing cicada 3301 then maybe it's worth investigating

[plucky rivet]

Why would they? As far as we've been aware, this is an entirely self contained ARG with the exception of Carcosa which was also self contained.

[eager atlas]

I meann.. I think that map has like a beautiful garden area, not sure cicadas are out of the unnorm

[plucky rivet]

Low key might steal the pedos deisgn for the garden

At least the tresses running across it for some shade. Shit was nice lmao

[coral wind]

they wouldve been in earlier if that hint was given

[oblique glade]

My best bet is about what cicadas represent

https://youtu.be/mlGHC_D7cXE

Uh weird

Is it a coincidence

🤔

[torn dew]

thats a giant coioncidence if it is

[oblique glade]

Also is there any connection to Lovecraftian mythology

King yellow also called Hastur

Is the brother of Cthulu

But yeah cicada stuff is so far our best lead

Can anybody can split audio and vocals?

[sick peak]

I ran the cicada sounds through a spectrogram and found nothing unfortunately, will try and see if there's something in the audio still.

[sick peak]

Alright, so. I decided to slow down the cicada audio quite a bit. and I swear to all that is holy, I hear some muffled yelling in the audio. I might be going insane, though.

[oblique glade]

Can you make it louder

[sick peak]

I'll try, but i'm not good enough in audio to seperate it out

[oblique glade]

Also about that song I sent is it a dead end?

[sick peak]

I haven't checked the song, decided to try out the actual updated cicadas first.

[oblique glade]

Alright keep us updated if you find anything interesting

I tried find lyrics

But no luck

[sick peak]

Kenji, if you wish i'll PM you the MP3 of the slowed cicada audio

[oblique glade]

Sure

[dense fulcrum]

I would think the symbolism of a cicada is that they molt and leave an empty standing husk which sounds in line with the rest of the rebirth theme

[oblique glade]

Well yeah they symbolise resurrection

[torn dew]

The band Cicada Radio has an album called crimewaves that @oblique glade posted a song from with songs titled "Carcosa", "The Patriot", "Crimewaves", "Funeral", and "Tomorrow" Weirdly coincidentally thematic to the gameworld suffering crimewaves, the mention of Carcosa and Patriot as well as Funeral. It Maybe nothing but wierd coincidence though. Cant find lyrics for songs so far.

[sick peak]

That is probably a very big clue, does cicada radio have any other albums/songs that might fit?

[torn dew]

need to look into it more

[oblique glade]

there's an album impostor

[fair pilot]

I might do a spectrogram or whatever it's called with the music, see if there's a hidden message

[torn dew]

their bandcamp page is creepy https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0002488536_10.jpg

[oblique glade]

actually try pick up lyrics

voice is muffled

[fair pilot]

The lyrics? On it.

Can I get sent that song? I can beep it out in about an hour if all goes well

[torn dew]

I apologize if this ends up a rabbit hole

[oblique glade]

https://youtu.be/mlGHC_D7cXE

[sick peak]

don't worry, it'll bring up SOMETHING even if minor

i'm searching the entirety of the voll house for cicadas, and found four spots so far.

[oblique glade]

so far no luck with plants

[torn dew]

been trying to run through the house today but kept getting blasted

[fair pilot]

Alright, I'm looking for lyrics and spectrogram at the same time, anything happens I'll let y'all know

[sick peak]

Uh, I found

what sounds like either water dripping or someone snapping with their fingers ocming out of a tv

Here's how it sounds, it might be electricity sparking from the tv though.

[torn dew]

any file names for the added cicada sounds?

[sick peak]

Nope, but speaking of file names

[oblique glade]

it sounds like burning wood

[sick peak]

we found this on the band stage, if anyone can find this. or something like this in the game files

[oblique glade]

🤔

[sick peak]

that'd be awesome

[oblique glade]

it really sounds like a fireplace

[sick peak]

Can anyone find out what this sculpture is, the other two have dates (2002 and 1995) but this one is scratched out.

[oblique glade]

is it seating

[somber patrol]

Which level is it?

[oblique glade]

or it can be robes

🤔

[sick peak]

Voll house, ground floor

[oblique glade]

All I can think off its king in yellow

this mask

[sick peak]

It could entirely be

[oblique glade]

I remember some suspect having similar

I think it was in the club

I came for tactical realistic shooter I stayed for treasure hunt

its really deep

[fair pilot]

I can't completely isolate the voice, but an Intriguing thing is that one says something ending with irth* I'm doing a bit more to fix it up and see more on that song

[somber patrol]

I may be blind, but can't find it on ground floor

[oblique glade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhAjqOaNM_8&list=OLAK5uy_lmiWi-wO1xhK7yO9kEnl_we5kDgtC-QPU&index=1

I think I found bass remember 2

[fair pilot]

Also carcosa the song is a huge reference to the king in yellow, so between that statue and this, as well as cicadas, it might be worth a read into that whole thing.

[sick peak]

it's near the very back of the ground floor, near the unreachable garden area

[somber patrol]

I believe it's a person cowering as if he's cold. It says "I love it when he holds me, unknown artist". Don't think it gets us anywhere.

[fair pilot]

A spectrum analysis showed multiple things that looked like robed figures, and most lyrics that i could read out on the song is basically the king in yellow quotes with slight alterations

[sick peak]

Damn, unfortunate

Bass remember 2 has got to be important somehow

[fair pilot]

i can spectrogram it

[oblique glade]

I think db inside is an channel created by someone from void

[somber patrol]

Earliest album is from december 2021, and has Enrico Buja as owner or whatever his relation is

Sounds too generic to have any meaning

[torn dew]

Has anyone seen the "mudman" on the meth levels void mentioned in one of the updates?

[eager atlas]

Mudman?

[oblique glade]

I am surprised to

[minor quiver]

the guy with the ripped clothes?

[eager atlas]

I think you're talkin about one of the guys on Ridgeline

[torn dew]

This was in the 6/28 patch notes

[eager atlas]

Oh, interesting

[torn dew]

Supposedly a guy on "meth" level

[eager atlas]

Sounds more like a static prop or something more than an AI

Or we'd have likely ran into them

[torn dew]

I've seen what looks like a skeleton where all you can see is a femur under water in what looks like a tunnel collapse in the tunnels on "meth" but not what I would call a "mudman"

[worn citrus]

lol why is there an arg for this game wtf

[hasty adder]

Nope

Mud man is a rare spawn suspect

He's...

Surprising

[sick peak]

you're probably right, but also remember RON released in december 2021. so the time frames don't not match up

[hasty adder]

You guys are so deep in red herrings that you may as well open a fish shop lol

[rose trench]

Literally

[rocky thunder]

dammed embeds

[hallow ocean]

My guess is he's a guy who hides in a puddle of mud or something and will jump you if you walk near him. Kinda like the lady who crawls out from under the bed sometimes.

[rocky thunder]

is it not the guy on meth who crawls out of the holes in the tunnel?

[hallow ocean]

could be, I've never encountered that before myself.

[minor quiver]

crawls out?

only notable suspect i've seen on meth is the one dude wearing the plastic bag over his head with the blue kevlar on

[azure thicket]

Also goes back to 2014, so if this is legit it would have been planned for a while

So.. most likely not a lead.

[oblique glade]

Actually

@fair pilot find out with spectogram pattern of audio resembles robed figures and song is pretty much about King in yellow

Also for whose tomb are we looking for sepulchre means pretty much place of burial

Idk think authors meant the book with the same title

Ryleigh was place of (sort of) burial of mythical cthulu

[pliant plaza]

the thing has been going on for a while now, since before the game went into public EA, I assume they did it to keep the community engaged while it was still supporters only access

not that I mind for the record, its still interesting nonetheless

[oblique glade]

It really is

Adds another layer of depth

Now instead clearing Just a map and leaving you are looking for leads and peculiar things

[pliant plaza]

Not sure if this is related to the ARG, but do we know what bill the senator was going to pass?

specifically what it was in detail, other then that it majorly affected US veterans

[somber patrol]

In my opinion they just were fed up with amount of bills they have to pay and don't get enough money to get by

Don't think it's some magical bill that made veterans do a terror action

[oblique glade]

Or someone hired them

And all of that is facade

Maybe senator tried push a bill that will affect functioning of mindjot

So mindjot took matters at its hands

You think starving and poor vets could afford on m16a2 and m249

I certainly doubt it

[somber patrol]

Starving and poor vets probably have them for a long time, since they are vets and like guns

Also, if you are really determined, it's not that hard to get your hands on hardware

[pliant plaza]

that would make sense, i'm just thinking that they wouldn't do it unless they really got shoved

[oblique glade]

I mean each version is possible though mine is a bit unorthodox

[pliant plaza]

because (and this is all anecdotal, ftr,) most vets I see just kinda get on with "the shit", and it makes sense, seeing the enviroment they came from, though it wouldn't surprise me if someone said "fuck it" and actually did that at all.

[oblique glade]

I think mechanic of interrogation suspects would be useful

For even more world building tools

Not killing them would make sense then

Because if you kill them you will miss the chance to gain some info

This would encourage some of us to more tactical non-lethal approach

[finite grail]

or just dig up the vo files if you're feeling lazy

[oblique glade]

Well yeah

That's not lazy approach though

[topaz jackal]

cutting funding for veterans' support programs

if i'm not wrong
i only heard snippets of the news and manifestos

[torn dew]

@hasty adder what is the extent of solving the filename Cypher? What is the furthest we've gotten on it?

[hasty adder]

It was solved, but we kinda cheated

The doc has more info

[plucky rivet]

Why? It's a synth patch that's also found in the studio of the hotel level as well.

Edit: It's on Ides of March, not Hotel

[oblique glade]

It's weird but vol1 features more plausible titles of songs to be related to Ron

[torn dew]

I feel we need to figure out what the proper procedure for solving it was supposed to be.

[rocky thunder]

Hmm if there only was a plausible process needed to arrive at the answer...

[oblique glade]

There's

Keep digging

And dots should form the bigger picture

[rocky thunder]

I know I've been explaining such process so many times but it missing the key

[oblique glade]

Well yeah we don't know what we are exactly looking for

Only small hint we got is sepulchre

And carcosa wasn't a burial ground of any mythical creature as far as I am aware

[plucky rivet]

<@&925148041126760529> can we clear this?

[oblique glade]

Maybe the answer lies below

But how to get below

[torn dew]

What were the remaining digits that filled the remainder of 0's in the filename that made "will you free yourself"? Was there an alternate way of arriving at those digits?

[plucky rivet]

If you're speaking literally, we've clipped below all maps and there's nothing there

[rocky thunder]

Well the process I've described in synopsis is essential from the file name we got "will yp" 'p' being hex 70 but 'o' being 6F therefore the entire string exists in a digit value less then the original digit string with all the 0s. So I've been looking everywhere for the key value to do subtraction from the original with

[oblique glade]

Not literally though It's intriguing why it changed from Carcosa to sepulchre

[plucky rivet]

Carcosa stalled out according to the doc

[torn dew]

Is it coincidence there are 42 0's and binary was hinted as being partly correct? As in the old 42 is the answer to life the universe and everything with binary for 42 being 101010? Is there anything with that? Anything with pixel dimensions of the image?like in the cicada3301 puzzles where multiplication of image pixel dimensions were part of a solution? I'm just throwing stuff out there.

[rocky thunder]

I doubt they are pulling from the hitchhikers guide

[oblique glade]

So now our only lead are the cicadas?

Or are there anything else?

[plucky rivet]

I don't even think Cicadas are a lead

They'd have been in longer I'm sure if they were relevant

[oblique glade]

Maybe it's a distraction

[plucky rivet]

Or

Hear me out

It's just a map detail they patched in

Lol

[oblique glade]

Why that map detail features whimpering then?

[plucky rivet]

We're sure it's coming from the Cicada audio file? Has someone ripped it yet?

[oblique glade]

Yeah

[plucky rivet]

Can yall dump it in here or link to the raw audio?

[oblique glade]

Credit to @sick peak

He was the one who found it out

Also there are 3 more sets of cicadas

Not only in the garden

Both entries to the basement

And next to the stage

[plucky rivet]

Who ripped the file though? Did Finesterre?

[oblique glade]

Yep

It's all his work

[plucky rivet]

Did he post the raw audio earlier in here? I didn't see it

[oblique glade]

He did

[plucky rivet]

Can you link it? I can't find it

Thank. Will check after my meeting

[oblique glade]

Also @fair pilot noticed the audio of other cicadas were manually sped up

[fair pilot]

Not by much, but I noticed the distortion on the spectrogram and slowed them down, the only thing is that even manually setting them back up to normal speed didn't create an image

But I think The King in yellow is a lead, at least in some way, and I feel like Hokan and the book itself will lead to clues, ARGs are very much like this and it wouldn't be a surprise if carcosa was a lead

Considering that song did spectrogram up as robed figures, and the king in yellow is robed, it could all be coincidence and speculation, but it's worth a check

[plucky rivet]

After isolating it it doesn't sound human

They sound either similar to a low pitch birds call or a sin wave that's been lowpassed

Clearest audio of it is 38 seconds in

And the wavering at 47/47 seconds isn't normal for humans. Even when sobbing or crying quietly

That shake sounds much more like a bird

[oblique glade]

Can it be a victim of human trafficking?

[plucky rivet]

It doesn't sound human to me. The tone is too low to be a child, and the pitch motion doesn't seem normal

[oblique glade]

But it's there for some reason

[plucky rivet]

Depends on how they made the original sound

It could be an artifact of the synth patch

[oblique glade]

And it goes for only 15 seconds?

I think it was put there deliberately

[fair pilot]

It's not a spectrogram find either, just a boring old flat line, bright, but nothing solid on it,

Here's what it shows

[plucky rivet]

That also doesn't sound like a cicada. Where was that file from?

[oblique glade]

Uh I forgot to send you that file

[plucky rivet]

It's the pure white spots

This is after compression. Let me see if I can undo the compression to show them more

[oblique glade]

By white line will form some string of digits

[plucky rivet]

That's them without.

[fair pilot]

Huh, interesting

[plucky rivet]

The frequency of those tones sit from 200-400 Hz and have no overtones

Which means it's not human. The voice has overtones and harmonics to it. The only thing we can do as humans to show up like that is whistle

[fair pilot]

That almost looks like bird calls,

Either that, or it's just the exact as cicadas

[plucky rivet]

As for the speeding and slowing of the Cicada sounds, that's an old dev trick to not take up tons of space by just flipping assets. So that doesn't stand out to me.

That wasn't the sound of a cicada though to begin with.

So where did the file you sent come from?

[oblique glade]

Set of cicadas in the garden

The one devs mention in patch notes

[plucky rivet]

So that file was in the cicada files?

What's the original file name?

[oblique glade]

I think Finisterre just recorded it

It's not directly digged from files

[fair pilot]

I'm going into the game to explore a lead, if I find anything I'll let y'all know, Port Hokan has something important to it. I feel it

[plucky rivet]

I'm sitting in the garden rn and the cicadas don't sound like that at all

Is that file one of the cicadas just slowed down?

THEYRE FUCKING BIRD CALLS

Are you fucking kidding me

Which is why I asked specifically if it was ripped from the files. Because if it was that would be pure cicada noise. Not map ambience.

And to show it's the same thing, here's the normal speed birds on a spectro

[fair pilot]

Noticed this, could be symbols?

[plucky rivet]

No

THey're Birds

listen to it

[fair pilot]

One sec

[plucky rivet]

The problem is that this is recorded map ambience. Which means there's a ton of overlap with other things like birds, cars, air, wind and everything else.

[oblique glade]

Why would they add cicadas?

To make it more realistic

Due to recent wave of cicadas in LA?

[plucky rivet]

Because Cicadas exist in California. And it's a summer map.

So

they'd exist

[plucky rivet]

A spectrogram works by showing frequency over time with the color relating to intensity. So no, they're not symbols. What you are seeing is the actual frequency motion of the bird call. The brighter bits are the more intense (louder). While the quieter bits are are closer to the purple/pink colors of the background. It is unlikely to see images in a spectrogram without hearing audio artifacts relating to it unless it is above or below the range of human hearing.

[fair pilot]

Fair enough, I knew mostly all of that, I just know that on purpose these things can be unoticed by the ear but visually shows a picture

[plucky rivet]

Typically those will rest Above 16kHz or below 20Hz

If you're not able to hear it.

[fair pilot]

Yeah

[rocky thunder]

<@&925148041126760529> ?

[strong idol]

just wanna say but when i hear cicadas i hear them go low then high withen a couple secs

[oblique glade]

Did anyone checked the qr code in port hokan?

What it contains?

[torn dew]

so as i understand it from using some converters the full file name if it decrypts to "will you free yourself" should be 16732266154100745|573522014634462545100745573527356331266146 this would be the full octal format that changes to hex to ascii, the break at 745 indicates a change as the original ended 7456. how were we supposed to reveal that the 6 was incorrect and where were the other numbers supposed to come from if not brute force guesswork? As you said the original translated to "will yp"

[fair pilot]

There might be another lead in Hokan from what I can tell, I'll need help and other folks with 12x scopes, we're gonna be looking for a boat named Astolot or Elaine on the outside, so it'd be a big help if I can have some folks join along in the lead

[plucky rivet]

Yes, Nothing, they don't scan as proper QR codes.

[plucky rivet]

Why not just get the dev camera mod and noclip there?

Debug cam*

[left bough]

anyone notice that the player characters aren't human?

could that have something to do with the arg?

[snow echo]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-terminator2-t1000-looking-stare-gif-16879056

[fickle storm]

I think thats a poorly animated bullet wound

[left bough]

that makes sense. were playing on port with friends and noticed it

[minor quiver]

normal bullet wound

[oblique glade]

Dude is made out of adamantium

[vague crag]

Terminator

[fair pilot]

Started looking around Hokan, but didn't see anything that showed that hint, debug cam included

[hoary osprey]

Bullet wounds aren’t animated 😄. Think it’s just interacting with the light incorrectly

[atomic solstice]

its talking about the usia

like in the new trailer, where there was a poster with an eye saying "the USIA is watching"

[tribal coral]

Illuminati

[urban elbow]

which trailer is this from

[atomic solstice]

look at the pinboard in the trailer of the last update

[urban elbow]

just link me to the yt
