[bitter leaf]

hey hey hey!!! i only just saw rl’s post on instagram about the website being back!

[hollow oasis]

Guys, the christmas commercial tape says "10 vhs winners + 1 Nintendo winner"

10 + 1 = 11

[crystal pecan]

Welcome back! You can get caught up here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzzelwN4491j93h__i1taim6_RSFYRSzGeAZOOlGMvE/
Just skip to "BKM website after maintenance" if you only want the new stuff

[drifting lark]

i’m gonna be at rehearsal for my show tonight furiously scouring the bkm site

[bitter leaf]

tysm omg!!

[bitter holly]

oh shit i forgot the nintendo thingy

damn jimbo

[hollow oasis]

Jimbo is the +1 for sure

[vapid fulcrum]

they bribed him good

for the extra effort

[drifting lark]

he’s either a plant or a winner who agreed to help

[hybrid seal]

my image in the backend has finally loaded

[drifting lark]

oh???

[hollow oasis]

As expected, a screen from your video

[vapid fulcrum]

i was gonna say earlier maybe they paid him extra to be the guaranteed first and fill out a form and on the site

[tranquil dock]

There's a kat too

New person

[crystal creek]

it starts with H

[bitter holly]

damn so the past within theory seems to be true

[crystal creek]

so this spelling out past within is likely

[strange wagon]

what do cookies have to do with anything?

[drifting lark]

OH

[bitter leaf]

for some reason i cant find that part of it😂

[bitter holly]

we still have the code from jimbo's vid left tho 😭

[hollow oasis]

Was expecting the correct order also, but still works

[lament sail]

it's Kats memory

[crystal pecan]

It's this bit 😄

[hollow oasis]

Also guys

The winner are uploaded in a specific order, now we can confirm that

[tranquil dock]

Http coming?

[hollow oasis]

Since we have Crowe at the bottom and Kat at the top

[drifting lark]

this is so fun

[vapid fulcrum]

oh bringing happiness to students with cookies has nothing to do with rusty lake... there goes my theory lol

[bitter holly]

too happy for rusty lake :(

[bitter leaf]

huh i cant find that bit for some reason

[hollow oasis]

The file names so far (updated):
H4525
T1226
P3247
A4005

[crystal pecan]

Scroll down to page 45, and it should be there

[pure tide]

why the code in Jimbo's video is YT-40387 and file name is P3247?

[bitter holly]

i was wondering that too

[tranquil dock]

YT for YouTube?

[drifting lark]

hey devs!! if you’re reading this thanks for making this arg, it’s actually super fun and engaging i hunted down a whole lake for this thing lol

[bitter leaf]

my doc wont go past this part

[crystal pecan]

It seems to be having trouble loading. In that case all I can say is: restart the app/browser or try it on another device?

[vapid fulcrum]

i thought maybe it's another winner login if you put YT- in front because it's the same length.. but then we don't know the name or country still so probably not

[bitter leaf]

alrighty thank you!!

[drifting lark]

i love feeling like a detective piecing the clues together lol

move over dale ell is taking your spot

so right now we just have to wait for more winners?

[hollow oasis]

It seems

[crystal creek]

i don't know about that

it feels like more winners = more parts of a key.

But where and what is the keyhole?

we have doubled the amount of winners in the form and haven't made much progress on that front, unless i am mistaken

[bitter holly]

yeah we have a code too

but it doesnt seem to fit anywhere

[crystal creek]

and i wouldn't think that a specific winner would have something unique as an entry, except for Jimbo for obvious reasons

[crystal creek]

right, that's my point

[drifting lark]

i still think either the lake or the code in jimbos video are significant

[crystal creek]

we are getting a lot of clues, but none of them point to what we use those clues for

[drifting lark]

if we find one more digit in jimbos video we might have 11

[hollow oasis]

Right, the code

[weary depot]

So does anyone know the crowe's nationality?

[crystal creek]

the code in the video is 100% significant and it's currently the only thing that we could possibly think of as a complete key

[drifting lark]

then we need one more digit

[crystal creek]

why?

[drifting lark]

the only other place we can currently put a code is the 11 digit one

[bitter holly]

that 11 digit thing is used pls

[drifting lark]

sorry

[crystal creek]

I have tried to explain this multiple times, that section has already been used

[drifting lark]

right

sorry

maybe it’s a phone number?

[hybrid seal]

that's me! I'm in the US :)

[crystal creek]

i'm not saying it's 0% chance it will be used again, but right now it has at least been solved once. There is no clear indication that says it MUST be 11 digits

so trying to form 11 digits out of anyting shouldn't be the first thought

[dapper pier]

maybe the keyhole will be unlocked when the 10 winner's database are all updated?

[crystal creek]

if that's the case there's not much we can do currently

[echo moon]

If you use YT-40387 and the 3S12PZ574B code from the video

Code 3 S 1 2 P Z 5 7 4 B
Numbering 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Then 40387 becomes P3247. I think someone actually figured that out much earlier and entered P3247 as the client code for Jimbo

[bitter holly]

ooh?

wait

can we do the same thing for other codes?

[drifting lark]

we should do that for the others

[hollow oasis]

That's good. That's soooo good.

[drifting lark]

SAME BRAIN

[bitter holly]

😭

[drifting lark]

random 🤝 ell

[hybrid seal]

ooh interesting

[hollow oasis]

For the others we can only do the opposite

[crystal creek]

that's very smart

wish it was shared here though :/

[drifting lark]

what are the other codes again?

cant access doc for another few min

gotta get to my last class

[bitter holly]

uhh there's no H or T or A in the code so we can't do the same to the other codes :(

[hollow oasis]

Oh no we cant, we don't have all the other letters in 3 S 1 2 P Z 5 7 4 B

[drifting lark]

nooooo

[bitter holly]

we can only do the numbers

[echo moon]

Yea same, that way people would've known that part was 'solved' much sooner :/

[drifting lark]

yeah i was a bit confused lol

[crystal creek]

still, props to you for figuring it out as well

[bitter holly]

wait so now we dont have anything lmao

[echo moon]

Thanks haha

[bitter holly]

code is used, jimbo's filename is solved

we have absolutely nothing left

[crystal creek]

Another thing to consider, maybe the videos aren't actually important?

there is a very real possibility we will not get in contact with some winners to get their videos

[bitter holly]

what do we do then

[crystal creek]

so either RL will have to upload manually, or we will have to assume they are not part of the puzzle

[drifting lark]

there’s not much else random is right

[crystal creek]

yeah now i don't know what do we have

[bitter holly]

is this the end :(

[crystal creek]

it's not

[tranquil dock]

Maybe there was never an arg

[hybrid seal]

lmaoo

[drifting lark]

the real arg was the friends we made along the way

[tranquil dock]

Maybe it was about the friends we made along the way

[dapper pier]

so there is nothing hidden in crowe's VHS?

[tranquil dock]

Jinx lol

[drifting lark]

AYO?? bahaha

[crystal creek]

like the code in jimbo? no nothing that obvious

[hybrid seal]

the images... maybe there is something about the timestamps of those images in the videos?

[brisk sage]

sry i quite missed everything
so is the hall of fame filled with new names or not :/

[crystal creek]

you can check three different uploaded videos on the document

[crystal creek]

what do you mean. There's names there from before, there's names from after (maintenance)

[vapid fulcrum]

I just realised what this person was saying.. all the characters in jimbos code (P3247) are the ones they've circled here (but the order is different). So perhaps the remaining 5 characters are another code?

it's in the same video soo it would use the same cipher right

[hollow oasis]

I'm checking the spectrogram

[brisk sage]

thx

[bitter holly]

so i found something
we'll take an old client for example will fenn
their image's filename is the same as their id in the intake form
and jimbo's id in the intake form is hidden

so basically all we have done is to find that hidden id

😭

[unkempt oriole]

i already tried changing the website file directory with the one that was found i think

[drifting lark]

ah

[unkempt oriole]

i dont remeber how it was found

[crystal creek]

if it's not through the intended course then i would suggest not bringing it up here

[unkempt oriole]

i think i tried it because it was the same format as the others

no i mean just changing the web address

[bitter holly]

what do you get?

[unkempt oriole]

nothin

404

[bitter holly]

oh

lol

[unkempt oriole]

yeah :( lol sorry

i might have done it wrong though idk

[bitter holly]

i think we're done for now

[hollow oasis]

Still have the "start at T" part, but I'm not sure about the customized part of the video (the initial one I mean, the part that's different from the other winners' videos)

[hybrid seal]

start at T part?

[crystal creek]

start at T has already been used, on the same video.

[hollow oasis]

I know, just saying it's on all the ten (eleven?) winners' videos

[drifting lark]

did we ever run the curtain through anything? what does that do?

[bitter holly]

well if the "the past within" theory is true then start with t makes sense

[crystal creek]

oh right, i forgot they added more videos to the memories

[bitter holly]

again

[hollow oasis]

Btw

[bitter holly]

just thumbnails idk

[golden beacon]

i've been playing with the links and nothing atm

[crystal creek]

the past within will have 2 ts though

[bitter holly]

well idk

[hollow oasis]

An extract from @hybrid seal video, seems suspect but I'm not able to understand if it says something

Pretty sure I can read a 5 near the end

[hybrid seal]

that 3rd section really looks like it's trying to spell something

[bitter holly]

oh there are 2 other winners' vids can u check those?

[hybrid seal]

P R E?

[bitter holly]

the middle seems to spell free

[hollow oasis]

Can try

[bitter holly]

or pre idk

[bitter holly]

thx in advance!

[drifting lark]

spectrogram?

[hollow oasis]

Could you just paste here the url?

[bitter holly]

wait for me a lil bit

[hybrid seal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rybgrfOQlrw

Kat's video

[bitter holly]

ooh?

[hollow oasis]

Yep, I'm considering only the initial part, cause it's the only one different for each winner

[golden beacon]

I can read fear on the second

[tranquil dock]

Where did we get Kat's video from?

[hollow oasis]

Not sure it's actually english, hoping it's clear what I'm saying, sorry

[hybrid seal]

it's in the google doc

[bitter holly]

https://youtu.be/42x3DruDpJs

yeah the kat one and the tikibuns one

[lament sail]

They shared them basically the moment their tape came in, yeah:)

[tough spire]

thats crazy

[crystal creek]

maybe we should also consider this

[tough spire]

yo you got a point 😳

[crystal creek]

so Jimbo being 11th winner would not be intentional, from BKM

he is an irregularity here (in many many ways). Maybe that's how we get to the root

[unkempt oriole]

ooh and thats why his file is an 'error'?

/corrupted ?

[hybrid seal]

tikibuns isn't in the backend yet, either, so we will have to wait :)

[hybrid seal]

possibly!

[crystal creek]

did tikibuns put the code in?

oh no i see what you meant

@hybrid seal , what was in this envelope looking thing? the usb?

[bitter holly]

tikibuns received their tape in april but jimbo shared his story on may so there's that

he is really the irregularity

[hollow oasis]

Don't know guys, seems pointless... I'm also trying to consider only the phrases corresponding to the screen in the back-end

[crystal creek]

i wouldn't sit on dates too much, courrier services too inconsistent to plan around it

[hollow oasis]

Crowe

[crystal creek]

i feel like jimbo's date is just when they had most stuff ready

[hollow oasis]

KAT

[crystal creek]

FWIW any time we actually had a message from spectograms, the sound was very obvious that it wasn't normal

[bitter holly]

oh so they're different

[bitter holly]

well they can plan jimbo's date

[hybrid seal]

yeah the usb

[crystal creek]

Of course they're different, the audio in the videos is different

[crystal creek]

thank you

[crystal creek]

Right, but not the others. I just saw you comparing two of them, which is why i brought it up

[bitter holly]

i thought matteo said they put it in the like same part of the video idk

[bitter holly]

what i mean is that they can change jimbo's date based on others' receiving date so there can be something but yeah that's a reach

[crystal creek]

So each memory video, like the one crowe posted, can be split into some parts.

Part 1 (and the relevant one): The unique memory video thing each winner got.
Part 2-end: past rusty lake videos including the security breach, xmas giveaway announcement, and possibly commercial? Been a while

so what matteo did was only focus on part 1, which was unique for every person that won

[bitter holly]

ah

well it doesnt seem to spell anything

guess we're stuck again

[hollow oasis]

Also, each screenshot refers to a specific phrase pronounced in the videos

KAT -> 1:15
Crow -> 1:18

Sorry guys but now I have to go out, I'll take another look later

[hybrid seal]

i wonder if the screenshot references a specific word: my video has a weird pause after the word "Time"

as if they said it like this: "and generally having a great TIME ...... in each other's company

going to check KAT's

[hollow oasis]

Yeah maybe it's only a word and not the entire phrase

[hybrid seal]

Kat's might be "students"

[honest frigate]

I've thought about this before...but since the messages were made by the winners themselves, thought it would be too random for them to use as hints

[bitter holly]

if so... shoule we check jimbo's vid?

[hybrid seal]

could lead to something

might not need the other winners "word" but the pause may lead to something in jimbo's

"beautiful"?
it seems to be focused on "beautiful, peaceful lake"

it seems to be a stretch but

[crystal creek]

i thought about that too, but they already did this with a clue to access backend. Wonder if they would do it twice

[hybrid seal]

hmm i doubt it

[crystal creek]

its not like they havent done it before (eg spectograms)

[hybrid seal]

ultimately i have no clue lmao

i wasn't really around for the first half to this capacity, so i'm fuzzy on the previous stuff

[crystal creek]

the other reason i'm hesitant (right now) to get on the train that the videos are crucial to this, is that we are not guaranteed to have access to all the videos

[hybrid seal]

yeah so unless there is another way to get the rest, it may be complicated

[tough spire]

FACTS

[crystal creek]

so either

A) The videos don't matter. At least not all of them.
B)RL will make the videos available to us if they are not shared (which is weird, considering every memory ends with "the memory and the visual are private dont worry bro"
C)We need to find a clue to more unlisted videos from RL, which are the memories.

[hybrid seal]

ultimately we have the ability to compare a winner video and then jimbo's video

[crystal creek]

I'm inclined to go with A) currently personally

maybe there are no clues to be found at all who knows

maybe the site will just unlock something else when all 10 people have registered their thing

and that will be where the hunt starts again. in which case we just have to wait now

[hybrid seal]

very true

with the emails from chad serving as reminder...it would be a little silly if the winner's actions ultimately meant nothing

but there may be a time limit to keep the ball rolling should some winners never put in their codes

maybe "false" winners that serve as backups to be released at the end of the expected wait time

[crystal creek]

In the previous arg instead of a giveaway they did a scavenger hunt

[bitter holly]

yeah seems like the winners' vid dont matter much for now

[crystal creek]

and once each thing was found and registered, it unlocked a code for in-game

there's nothing to suggest that now

[bitter holly]

there're codes

but where to put is another question

[crystal creek]

Right, but if you think about it they have already been used

[hybrid seal]

codes for each video, put in the winner section

[crystal creek]

hex used their code to get that entry to show up, and it was that A4005 thing

[hybrid seal]

they will not show up in backend until they are put in the winner box

we know at least 1 video that is waiting for the code to be put in (tikibuns)

but they covered their code in the youtube video, which means we will have to wait for them (which i understand - i didn't share my video until today for that reason haha)

[crystal creek]

I'm really hoping we don't end in a 9/10 situation and we wait here for a month :/

backtracking a little bit to something that i personally didn't pay much attention to

[hybrid seal]

from a design standpoint, there should be a backup just in case. obv that will hopefully not come up as each winner should input their code within the next few days

[crystal creek]

someone pointed out the entries have a specific order, they arenot sorted by some means like date/time

so if we are to think the letters form some message, it means it's either an 11 or 10 character long phrase. What could it form?

[bitter holly]

for now they can be in the z -> a order

[hybrid seal]

in theory the password to the new Confidential Tapes section

which requires an 11-digit code

[bitter holly]

that section is used

sadly

[crystal creek]

is is at the top, a at the bottom, T in between

so no alphabetic order

[bitter holly]

i mean the winners' name

[hybrid seal]

the names of the users is z > a rn

[crystal creek]

ohh

alright yeah

hoping the next few entries clear that up so we can start speculating more

[hybrid seal]

we'll have to wait and see if that stays

yeah

[crystal creek]

This isn't new, it's been solved

it leads to a teaser for UB, which you can also find at each memory video including your own, its the very last clip/part

[hybrid seal]

it's been changed since the previous solution

[crystal creek]

has it?

[hybrid seal]

that's what has been written in the doc lmao

could be wrong, tho

[crystal creek]

i dont know who added it

i tried the old code and it still links to the video

[hybrid seal]

10 winners + Jimbo could be another 11 digit code (could be irrevalent tho)

or put into a different keyhole

[crystal creek]

worth noting the previous code was all numbers

the other dumb theory is that somehow the 10 pictures correspond to 10 different emoji

but none of them really help you find a different emoji so i dont have confidence that's the way

[golden beacon]

we will have to wait for the next submissions then?

there are just 4

[crystal creek]

yeah i spent way too long brainstorming and came up empty personally so im just gonna wait

[bitter holly]

another thing worth noticing is, will any of this relate back to tpw like we unlocked the basement level in twd through the arg

[crystal creek]

nobody knows

that being said the way the game works is not that hard to hide a sequence of sorts that unlocks something new.

[cinder pewter]

I guess not since ub is upcoming I guess it’s more related to that, especially teaser was discovered by bkm firstly

[rigid widget]

Btw we still don't know what the symbols from the cube escape achievements are for right?

[lament sail]

that is correct

[quick night]

Does anyone else see a 5 in the area I circled? It looks to me like there may be letters/numbers hidden in the image, but I don't have the technology or the photo editing skills to follow this idea through

[lapis garnet]

Since you pointed it out, yeah I kinda do see like an elongated 5

Where did you find the photo?

So these are the codes I have written down so far

Does anyone know if there’s different scrolls between choosing the bee or the butterfly?

[quick night]

The photo is T1226.png, the thumbnail from Js777's memory video. I added tint and played around with the contrast etc.

[cinder pewter]

so ehm

there is a new lottery winner data

Pink trees

sounds super relevant but what do we do if we dont have the access to the original video since not every winner submits theirs

[crystal creek]

have we pinged @bronze tiger and @muted harness ? Maybe they havent seen the website is up

[hollow oasis]

Hey guys, I'm back and I noticed we hae the fifth winner on the site

[crystal creek]

i just saw that too

[hollow oasis]

We don't have that video, right?

[crystal creek]

nope

[strange wagon]

i guess the path within doesnt work with the first letters anymore

[crystal creek]

it never did, too many letters

also, this helps us disprove the alphabetic order theory, r before k

which means we are very likely to be forming some sort of sentence/word

[hollow oasis]

That's what we have, right?

(still think we have to consider the phrase indicated by each screenshot)

[crystal creek]

we only have three videos so far, can't speak on their timing though

well, three videos+picture

but yes you're not completely missing something yet

[hollow oasis]

We have four videos, but we don't have the screenshot of the fourth video

[crystal creek]

i corrected myself 🙂

[hollow oasis]

Oh sorry, misunderstood what you were saying

[vapid fulcrum]

i'm pretty sure there is no 5 in it..ive split RGB, CMKY and HSV channels and can't find anything (though the hue channels are starting to do the ink blot trick on me lol)

[quick night]

Thanks for trying, Kitty

[vapid fulcrum]

i was trying to find a site to do that on for hours but everything i usually use was broken today on phone til i realised dcode had that too (idk why i didn't check it)

oh there is a 5th person

actually there is a 5 in the red channel if you use grey scale when you split the red channel but it's very faint.. i think they would make it more obvious?

[bronze tiger]

hey yall!! ive activated my client code, im going to upload my video to youtube and send the link soon

[crystal creek]

thank you!

oh you were rayiv i see

[bronze tiger]

:D

https://youtu.be/W_AyrJEaX6Y

[vapid fulcrum]

cute memory

[hollow oasis]

Thank you!

[bronze tiger]

thank you! its a real one, and ngl kinda happy it is saved

[marble oxide]

What a dissapoitment it is to wake up and find out you missed so much XDD
Anyways, what I wanted to point out is that I noticed that every winning memory so far was about a person having a good time with someone else. If I haven't missed anything, there's no memory where a person is on their own. It may matter, or it may just be that most of entries were like that but thought I should mention that

Also, about the first vs. third person memory description in Jimbo's file: he is introduced as one of the lottery winners, so it's implied he filled out the same form as we did. They could've just transferred it into writing as is (though why not print it then?)

On the other hand, the form is also signed, meaning that he had access to the paper form 🤔
I also have another theory: if memory serves, on the part 1 of arg there was some kind of promotion for distant service, where the applicant should fill the form themselves and email it to BKM. Maybe Jimbo applied to that procedure

[silver onyx]

wait how did you get that? thats so cool

[lament sail]

By winning the bkm lottery in a previous phase of the arg

[silver onyx]

Oh that's cool

[lament sail]

Yeah! It's a really cool thing rl set-up:)

[hollow oasis]

Updated

[lament sail]

are you storing this somewhere we can access it @hollow oasis ?

[hollow oasis]

Not yet, I'll add the table to the doc after work

[lament sail]

ah cool! thanks:)

[cinder pewter]

What’s the intuition behind that

[hollow oasis]

Those are the lines corresponding to the screenshots we unlock when the winners activate their codes

[cinder pewter]

[silver onyx]

That's cool, is that what y'all have been working on

[lament sail]

and more, you can see what the communitys been up to in the latest document and, well, this channel:)

[cinder pewter]

Would be hard if not every winner submit their videos

[crystal creek]

another possible thing that might indicate that RL never really needed winners to share their videos: they never said to share them in any instructions

all the while they did say activate your code and stuff

so this makes me more confident that either we don't need the videos/not part of the puzzle, or that RL will release them all together, perhaps after all 10 have registered (maybe this was the security breach?)

[analog carbon]

did Js777 not uplode their tape?

[slate aspen]

Did anyone ping Tikibuns#0428 and SoliloquySolstice#8266? At least one of them didn't enter his winner code

[slate aspen]

we have no idea

[crystal creek]

i pinged yeah

we don't know who js777 is

[slate aspen]

@hybrid seal "I We need your memory "
We're gathering timecodes of the backend screenshots taken from them

[lament sail]

I will ask y'all to not constantly harass the winners, they've got an email from Chad too, give it time

[slate aspen]

ok, can do.
Just worried there're too many of us and the requests like this are risking to drown among other messages

[crystal creek]

they have already uploaded it?

[slate aspen]

sry if he did, I've lost track

[crystal creek]

check the doc

[slate aspen]

I'm there, I have just no idea who's who

[lament sail]

int he VHS tapes section, each winner we know of and their VHS content (if uploaded) is posted

[crystal creek]

it's near the bottom, you can use the left side to go there fast

[slate aspen]

Thx

Actually, as I think about it, I'm getting confused

How screenshots or timecodes can potentially lead us somewhere?

[honest frigate]

Jimbo's memory is not unlisted anymore

[bitter holly]

oh yeah u can't get the link by using dev tool anymore

something is up

[lament sail]

well the videos public now

[bitter holly]

damn they said that they would keep the memories private after activating the client code but now it's public

[vapid fulcrum]

maybe they will make the videos public one by one..

[honest frigate]

Yea I wonder why 🤔Jimbo as an employee uploaded it? Or BKM leaked his memory?

[cinder pewter]

wait what

then how do u suppose to get the link if someone wants to reexperience arg

[vapid fulcrum]

wasn't jimbo the nintendo winner

[lament sail]

the video is currently public.

[cinder pewter]

oh I double checked

still on the bkm website

[cinder pewter]

I just did

[cinder pewter]

they did! I wonder why is that

[lament sail]

Yeag, same.

[vapid fulcrum]

damy did you guys find any use for the extra characters 5 left over in the video

[marsh dune]

Maybe YouTube video?

[vapid fulcrum]

it's like the only thing i've found this whole arg but noone paid any attention

[cinder pewter]

what left over

[vapid fulcrum]

jimbo video has 10 chars in.. 5 of them are his winner code scrambled, which is different to his png unlike all the other winners who had same png and code. Which leaves 5 chars that might be useful somewhere

[lament sail]

dont ask me! im just here to observe

[cinder pewter]

perhaps for lottery puzzle purpose so it isnt that straightforward?

thought we might able to get a pattern comparing with other winners

but I am bad at reading codes so I dunno

[crystal creek]

we did, i think the doc explained it. it's the full 10 characters combined with the YT- code

[vapid fulcrum]

huh

[crystal creek]

basically you asign a 0-9 value to each of the 10 characters, then you select the corresponding characters to the YT- code

[vapid fulcrum]

oh right the cipher

i'm just being dumb

[cinder pewter]

yea other than that

no other uses but could compare codes of other winners

[marsh dune]

Did anyone mail Chad?

[marble oxide]

Someone did! Last that I've seen, there was no reply

[strange glade]

I can't reach him

[cinder pewter]

I doubt chad would reply anything

its not like hey could u tell me how to hack ur website and he tells u

[strange glade]

I wrote a long and sincere mail but still no reply

[marsh dune]

I try to act like Jimbo but no reply

[strange glade]

And I sent like 3 times

[cinder pewter]

I dont think its a good idea since its a bit annoying

[ancient cosmos]

Lmao I’m so late To this arg lmao

[strange glade]

So the rest of the people can stop trying

[cinder pewter]

but as long as there is no prohibition from the mods I guess its alright

[marsh dune]

Chad is probably a bot.so maybe we need to send a specific code or letter to activate it

[cinder pewter]

an interesting guess

[bitter holly]

oh i tried it this morning and i couldnt do it maybe it's me forgetting the way to do so

[marsh dune]

@cinder pewter yeah but its not working with codes we have

[bitter holly]

jimbo's code in the video has the "YT-" part unlike the others which could just mean youtube or maybe something else?

[vapid fulcrum]

the doc says timecode unknown for rayivs video but it's here

[bitter holly]

the person who wrote that part of the doc probs didnt know about the vid yet

[oblique parcel]

found random numbers on the new youtube video, anyone know what they mean? s12pz574b

[bitter holly]

that was for deciphering jimbo's client code

[oblique parcel]

OH! OK

[vapid fulcrum]

it was 1.11 anyway (matteo already got the quote)

well thats when the talking starts.. idk if you're taking the time from the moment the image starts or the words

[hybrid seal]

good morning fellow investigators ✨

[marsh dune]

@hybrid seal good afternoon

[hybrid seal]

i've been trying to find the exact frame the screenshot was taken. possible was around 1:16 for this video?

[grim coral]

Tysm Damy🫶🫶🫶🫶🥹

[vapid fulcrum]

oh right sorry

it's a bit hard on mobile

i've destroyed my back and i'm stuck in bed

[hybrid seal]

oh hey :) the new name in the backend proves the list is not in z > a order

that's a step forward!

i know someone was thinking it would be "the past within", but it doesn't look like it's that either

right now the order of the files is HPTPA, which could be
(T) H (E) P (A) (S) T + a third word with the letters P and A in them

[crystal creek]

that's what i've been trying to analyze but the issue is the whole phrase will be 10-11 characters in length

[bitter holly]

imagine if it's the past past 💀

[crystal creek]

"thepast" is 7 on its own. What words make sense here and contain a p and an a?

[marsh dune]

Part?

Or pays

[hallow acorn]

How we doing with the website reopening?

Ive been alienated for a while

[bitter holly]

there's a new sus dude named jimbo

he may or may not be an employee of bkm

[hallow acorn]

How can someone named jimbo be sus?

This world, i swear

[bitter holly]

😭

[hybrid seal]

it reminds me of "the past is never dead. it's not even past" (which is too long for the code lmao)

[calm quiver]

Hey I know this is probably already solved, but any idea what the letters and numbers from the new vid (S12PZ574B) are for?

[hybrid seal]

it was to get jimbo's client code

it's explained in the doc if you are curious!

[calm quiver]

Ohhhh ok yes I’ll check the doc

Thank you!

[hybrid seal]

np :D

[marsh dune]

Maybe it's thepastplays

Since these are VHS why not?

[hybrid seal]

that's 12

we don't know exactly how long the code is, but the only place to put something in (that we know of) is 11-digits

[calm quiver]

Anything I can help with in the moment?

[hybrid seal]

and we are assuming it's 11 because of 10 winners + jimbo

i think we are mostly in a state of waiting for other winners to put in their codes? but idk!

that's where i am, at least

[calm quiver]

Ah makes sense

[marsh dune]

Yeah

[calm quiver]

Alrighty well I’m gonna go back to reverse engineering the doc lol

You guys did a lot of great work!

[hybrid seal]

:D

[steady lodge]

I found the code in Jumbo’s memory best kept memory video ||3s12pz574b|| not sure what to do with it

[upper shale]

Is it possible, in your opinion, that the video frame corresponds to a precise word pronounced in the video, or rather to its initial, and that these initials form a word?

[bitter holly]

it's for finding jimbo's client code

[bitter holly]

maaaaaaaaybe but that requires everyone who wins to upload their videos

[upper shale]

Maybe they will, or maybe BKM will too

[bitter holly]

that also requires everyone who wins to submit their code and countries to the database

[calm quiver]

At the risk of being a repetitive bother, I was wondering what the process was for this section of the doc. I understand that these screenshots are from different winners’ videos but how did we get the time stamp information? And how does that translate to letters in a message?

[hybrid seal]

i've been marking down the timestamp of the screenshot > there does seems to be a pause after a word, but idk if it's relevant

[hybrid seal]

i've been trying to find the exact frame the screenshot is of

the letters are in the file names

[bitter holly]

we just played the video over and over until we found the frame that looks the same as the picture and we don't know what it is for yet

[tranquil dock]

Hi! I emailed chad almost 24hrs ago with no reply

[calm quiver]

Where were these screenshots found? On the site?

[bitter holly]

maybe we need to send a specific word or does it need to be the winners

[bitter holly]

the backend

[hybrid seal]

yes in the MISC section in the backend

[hybrid seal]

i can try emailing him

[calm quiver]

Ahhh yes I think I do remember that

Thank you!

[bitter holly]

mhm

[tranquil dock]

Could it be a phrase with "path" in it instead of past? Path is also kinda fitting

[bitter holly]

np!

[tranquil dock]

Also, are those blossoms just from the beginning of all the videos? Or are they from his actual memory

[bitter holly]

it's from their actual memory

[hybrid seal]

sent an email to chad

[calm quiver]

So, just to clarify, we’ve had these screenshots for a while and only recently when some winners have shared their videos did we figure out some screenshots match with their videos. So now we’re finding the time stamps of the screenshots? As well as cataloguing the letters that appear in the original file names?

[tranquil dock]

Maybe the phrase could be tap or pat?

[hybrid seal]

when a winner puts in their code, they are added to the backend. when they show up, there is a file that is a screenshot from their memory video

[calm quiver]

Ah, noted! Thank you! So we just need the rest of the winners to log their codes in the site so we can see more screenshots

[calm quiver]

Easier said than done though lol

[hybrid seal]

potentially! if they don't share their videos, then we wont know timestamps (which probably means we do not need the videos themselves)

it is probably the order of the files forming some sort of code

which in theory we don't need all 10 winners for, but it would certainly help haha

[tranquil dock]

Do we have the words at the time stamps? Maybe the letters will create a phrase (eg, the past within), and that will tell us the order to put the words from the timestamps? Ex: T->js777 timestamp

Oh wait yeah, we shouldn't need the videos, my bad

[hybrid seal]

if we need the videos, then that's a potential avenue, but thats in the hands of each winner and not bkm (unless they release them on their own, which i doubt - chad informed each winner they would be private)

[calm quiver]

That’s a fair assumption! I feel the crew would be less likely to require winners to upload videos of potentially personal memories and instead just plug in a code which’ll only reveal a screenshot

[hybrid seal]

yeah from a design standpoint that's what makes the most sense

but that doesn't mean it's not a possibility!

[calm quiver]

Yes, it’s always good to keep all options open

So now the only other potential lead we have is Chads email, right? But those who’ve contacted him haven’t heard back from him?

[tranquil dock]

I contacted him 24hrs ago with no reply

I asked for a beanie and for them to stop stealing memories

[calm quiver]

Lol alright

Well thank you for reaching out to him!

[hybrid seal]

i just sent one just now to see if you need to be a winner to get anything

[tranquil dock]

Maybe I should tell chad that we know his password, maybe he'll reply then /j

[hybrid seal]

but i assume i won't get a reply lmao

i said that i was interested in leaving a testimonial like jimbo

[bitter holly]

what did we send the last time i remembered that we also had to do that in the first part of the arg

maybe that would give us a hint to what to send?

[tranquil dock]

We sent the error code from booking to [e-mail], chad replies, and has a logo that gave us cbrunswick

[autumn cobalt]

lol, i've missed a lot after the site back online

[bitter holly]

hmm

we don't even have a code now

[tranquil dock]

I've just tried emailing him "brain freeze", but I doubt it will do anything

[honest frigate]

I feel like Jimbo's client code is a hint of something....I mean, there's no way they make the 3S12PZ574B code just to let us know it's only a client code...

[worthy oyster]

yt-40387 also might mean something

[hybrid seal]

in theory that was how to get his part of the MISC puzzle up, someone just figured it out before we did
but it does seem like there would be more

i wonder if the date of jimbo's testimonial means anything too

[vapid fulcrum]

but don't forget the christmas yt said the VHS tapes will hide a secret message so they still may not just be for the client code and you shouldn't discount them all. Anyone who entered the vhs giveaway should know not to trust the privacy promises of BKM lol

i honestly thought that promise at the end was just a joke coming from them considering the "security breach"

[bitter holly]

well they did just publicize jimbo's vid

which has to mean something

[hybrid seal]

jimbo says he uploaded it himself

[bitter holly]

hmm

[hybrid seal]

in his testimonial

[vapid fulcrum]

he uploaded it to rusty lake channel?

[bitter holly]

he's mr owl? 💀

[vapid fulcrum]

it said tapes not tape in the message

[vapid fulcrum]

if that matters

[worthy oyster]

Jimbo apparently 'shared' his memory

[drifting lark]

he made the intake form himself

that’s likely tied into it

someone mentions jimbo and it’s like i crawl out of the woodwork lmao

[hybrid seal]

hmm in theory the code is not the "secret message" the tapes contain. it's not very secret since they just...say it

[bitter holly]

hmm maybe anyone who wins should try emailing chad about sharing ur memory with bkm?

[hybrid seal]

referring to the christmas video

[worthy oyster]

well, you do have look out for the code as it's sometimes barely visible, and the first number is at 0:00 so it appears for less than a second

[drifting lark]

what’s that number?

[worthy oyster]

3

[hybrid seal]

that's for jimbo's video

[drifting lark]

slay

[hybrid seal]

not the winners

mine didn't have anythink like that as far as i know

[worthy oyster]

is Jimbo not a winner?

[drifting lark]

didn’t we find a 5 on the curtain picture? maybe others have similar symbols in them

[hybrid seal]

jimbo is a fictional winner

[worthy oyster]

oh

[drifting lark]

are we still stuck?

[wild latch]

Are you all saying the code is only for a person to see the secret behind the webpage?

[hybrid seal]

yep

[drifting lark]

it’s times like this i wish the devs gave us just a little nudge in the right direction

[honest frigate]

Actually I think it's dev watching us being stuck and they're like "let's upload Jimbo's memory and get more people know about the ARG, especially those who haven't shared their memory yet" lol

[hybrid seal]

afaik right now the code the winners gets adds them to the backend - which may spell out a code

[worthy oyster]

yeah, that's possible

btw, is there any way to log in?

you know, with Jimbo's data

[hybrid seal]

log in to where?

[worthy oyster]

bestkeptmemory.com

like in this puzzle

[honest frigate]

I've thought about this before...what if we don't use "cbrunswick" to log in...

[drifting lark]

but what would the password be is the question

[worthy oyster]

however, the Jimbo's login doesn't work

unless I put it in wrong

[tranquil dock]

Have you tried jfletcher?

[drifting lark]

jfletcher would be the username if it was the same as chads

but what’s the password

[tranquil dock]

The code from his video?

[drifting lark]

oh maybe yeah

[worthy oyster]

do capitals matter?

I have been trying the password with normal letters

[bitter holly]

probably since it's capital in the vid

[worthy oyster]

nope

[drifting lark]

yeah doesn’t work

[worthy oyster]

any other ideas for the login?

[tranquil dock]

Albertlives? Its on his file

[drifting lark]

maybe the name of the lake he was at? hintersee lake?

[bitter holly]

idt we're supposed to login as jimbo

[hybrid seal]

that's a password already used tho

[tranquil dock]

Maybe he's lazy lol

[drifting lark]

it’s not that i tried it

tried hintersee too

and even his client code

[honest frigate]

If "cbrunswick" is the username and "never_forget" is the password, then the password for "jfletcher" would be two words...I think..

[worthy oyster]

YT-40387 doesn't work, unless Jimbo's login is different

[worthy oyster]

where would we get those from, though?

[hybrid seal]

the_lake?

[drifting lark]

nope

[bitter holly]

there's not a signing out option when we signed in as chad so idt there's a login for jimbo

[rich wadi]

guys i think Jimbo is the username of database, but we still don't know the client code

[bitter holly]

huh

[drifting lark]

we need the password

[worthy oyster]

I'm checking the google doc in case we missed anything

[hybrid seal]

what do you mean?

[hybrid seal]

we've already done this

[bitter holly]

oh we have solved that lol

[worthy oyster]

where is that page?

[hybrid seal]

the bkm website

that's where winners input their codes

[rich wadi]

what?

[worthy oyster]

where exacly?

[hybrid seal]

on the main page

[hybrid seal]

if you look at the google doc, we have already solved that part for jimbo

[rich wadi]

ok，let me check. thanks

[drifting lark]

gods i don’t know what we should do next

[worthy oyster]

oh, sorry

I wasn't really active lately

I last got my update on the arg during the security breach 😅

[bitter holly]

so we're back to square one 😭

[worthy oyster]

so, what did it say after the login?

[bitter holly]

something something was submitted

[hybrid seal]

that's how we got the jimbo file in the backend

it's how each winner gets added to the backend

we currently have 5/"10" (11 with jimbo, presumably)

[drifting lark]

and now we’re very stuck

[worthy oyster]

5/10 what?

[drifting lark]

winners

[hybrid seal]

winners in the backend

[bitter holly]

maybe you should look at the doc ya know

[worthy oyster]

(since we are stuck I might as well get my update)

[worthy oyster]

I am

[rich wadi]

would you please send me google doc? I just came in

[hybrid seal]

it's in the pinned

here

[rich wadi]

thank you

[worthy oyster]

there is more that both 5 and 10 people in the Backend

[bitter holly]

no not that

the misc section in company files

[hybrid seal]

that's the clients section. we are looking at the MISC section under Company Files

The Backend written there is just a header, and from the previous part of the arg that is already solved

you can go to the backend via a link at the beginning of that section

[bitter holly]

yeah other than the misc section mostly everything is solved

[worthy oyster]

ok, ok

so the yt-40387 is actually P3247?

[hybrid seal]

yes

[worthy oyster]

what does it give us

though

[hybrid seal]

that's his client code

for the winner's entry on the homebage of the bkm website

which then adds him to the backend

[worthy oyster]

do we know the password?

[hybrid seal]

(specifically the misc section)

[bitter holly]

albertlives

[drifting lark]

y’all we found the 5 in the curtain thumbnail, do we think there’s more in other thumbnails?

[hybrid seal]

in jimbo's video? that's how we got the client code

[drifting lark]

ah yes

forgot sorry

[drifting lark]

wait no in the thumbnail of the j7 video

js777’s thumbnail

[bitter holly]

that is barely a 5 so idk if we should continue on that

[hybrid seal]

we don't have js777's video

[drifting lark]

we have his thumbnail

[hybrid seal]

where is the 5?

[drifting lark]

someone edited the photo so it was visible

if you look very closely in the bottom left

[hybrid seal]

in theory if that's a 5 then the other screenshots should have something similar

[drifting lark]

that’s exactly what i’m saying

[hybrid seal]

i'm looking at mine and i see the same "5" like pattern - it may just be the screen effect

[drifting lark]

it’s worth a shot we don’t have much else rn

[bitter holly]

i think it's just a curtain thingy tbh

[hybrid seal]

feel free to check the other screenshots for something similar

[drifting lark]

do you not see the 5? it’s a bit hard to spot

[bitter holly]

i see it but it's barely there

[drifting lark]

yes someone edited it to make it clearer

idk where that image is now

[worthy oyster]

I only see an arrow

lol

[hybrid seal]

i can't see anything like that on other ones tho

[drifting lark]

me neither

[hybrid seal]

which means it's probably a curtain thing

[drifting lark]

so we’re still stuck

damn

[worthy oyster]

heh

[worthy oyster]

it propably is

Maybe the curtain will open sometime later?

why Canada?

[hybrid seal]

it's based on a winner's video, so it's just a screenshot

[hybrid seal]

jimbo is from canada

[worthy oyster]

lake Hintersee is in germany

[worthy oyster]

oh ok

[hybrid seal]

lake hintersee may just be an easter egg. rusty lake is from the netherlands so it's more likely they shot the footage in europe than in canada

[drifting lark]

yeah i took forever finding it but it was super fun lol

[worthy oyster]

yeah, makes sense

[hybrid seal]

really well done @drifting lark !

[drifting lark]

thanks 🙂 it was a lot of luck

google maps was on my side

[hybrid seal]

plus the "lake" jimbo mentions is probably the "rusty lake" in the games, which is fictional

[drifting lark]

sometimes i wish the devs dropped hints lol

[hybrid seal]

lmao in theory the puzzle is the devs dropping hints

but i know what you mean lmao

[drifting lark]

true true

i mean they’ve gotta see we’re stuck

[flat gate]

guys, the code 3S12PZ574B was it used already?

[crystal creek]

Maybe the curtain will open
The curtain is as significant as the cookies, or the shoes. I don't think it's something special, just an image. People are fixating it because it was the first winner + we don't have the video, but it's not more special than anything else in that section. Don't overthink it.

Jimbo Client Code

The form you are trying to enter, has already been done. You are supposed to number the sequence you see in Jimbos memory from 0-9, and then use the YT-40387 to get a sequence, which IS the client code. Someone did this, and that's how Jimbo's memory is in the backend.

[hybrid seal]

yes

[crystal creek]

@worthy oyster

[worthy oyster]

yeah, thank you

I'm VERY late

[hybrid seal]

this phase started yesterday lmao

[drifting lark]

yep

[hybrid seal]

you aren't "very" late

[worthy oyster]

I'm late overall

I've last been here before the security breach vid

(and I'm totally amazed by what you guys have found so far)

[drifting lark]

we’ve done a lot yeah

lots of good stuff

and it’s been super fun! feeling like a detective lol

[tranquil dock]

I'm getting so frustrated that we've hit a wall. I know it would ruin immersion a bit, but I'd love to know if we've missed something (without telling us what we've missed) or if we truly are just waiting for the next 5/6 winners

[drifting lark]

feel that artemis

just a nudge to let us know if we even can do anything else

[tranquil dock]

It seems weird that we are reliant on this small group of people who might not even know to do anything, so I wonder if we've missed something but I genuinely can't think of anywhere we could have

[lament sail]

its been a bit more than 24 hours, keep at it:)

[drifting lark]

me neither it’s not like we want the answers, we want to know if there currently are more we can find

at least with the current info we have

[tranquil dock]

For anyone who knows photo editing and whatever, the effect that's on the tapes (and therefore the thumbnails), is that just a filter? Is it overlaid noise? Can you isolate the noise or something? I don't know much about that kind of thing, but I wonder if there's something in the VHS-ness

[drifting lark]

maybe, like the 5 hidden in the curtain thumbnail

[tranquil dock]

How did you find the five?

[silent mauve]

what does yt-40387 mean

[drifting lark]

look real close, someone also sharpened the image or something to get it to be more clear but i don’t know where that image went

[tranquil dock]

It was on the YouTube video of jimbos memory. Using the code on the video, it makes jimbos client code (all explained how in the doc)

[calm quiver]

Translates to P3247 (this table from the doc helps explain)

[hybrid seal]

💕 thanks Damy 💕

[calm quiver]

However you don’t need to enter that code to the site anymore since it only needed to be entered once to unlock the screenshot in the backend

[silent mauve]

so im guessing we need the rest of the tapes to progress further?

[drifting lark]

we think so

[tranquil dock]

[hybrid seal]

or at least most of them

[drifting lark]

yeah nothing new on the site yet

still at 5 winners

[honest frigate]

What if some of the remaining winners don't know about the ARG and also forget to activate the code?.....💀

[hybrid seal]

that's the curious thing to me

in theory they knew about the previous arg since that was how you entered the contest?

and chad told us many times about entering our code in the website

[calm quiver]

We’ll have to wait and see I guess. Maybe bkm will reach out again to winners reminding them to activate their codes

[hybrid seal]

of course there will always be people that don't bother

it has only been 24 hours, so even if the devs have a backup plan we won't see it for a bit

[calm quiver]

True. And I bet they do have a backup plan (they’re smart 😊)

[silent mauve]

im sure the devs have a backup plan

[bitter holly]

jimbo's vid being public seems like the backup plan is already starting to me

[hybrid seal]

in theory we don't need all 10 winners, as we may be able to figure some stuff out without them

jimbo is not a part of a backup, as it was released when the next phase started

more likely he is the focus, and the other winner's will help guide us to what to look for

maybe

[bitter holly]

there's still a winner left in this cord but they haven't been online for a while sadly

[marsh dune]

idk if somebody find this but if you put codes of the memory cube videos you only receive video links. But in 02715's page you get a PNG of 9 sembols. This exact codes are top of the A in coruptfile. Only the figure seems to be uncrossed. Maybe that men's something

[bitter holly]

wut

[hybrid seal]

i think that part is solved?

[bitter holly]

that seems weird

the image is new

omg new stuff!!!!!!!

[hybrid seal]

oh?

[drifting lark]

where is that

[marsh dune]

it is in the memory cube recording menu

[drifting lark]

how do you get into that??

[hybrid seal]

company files > memorycube recordings

[bitter holly]

this seems weird isn't all of this solved why is there a new image

[drifting lark]

yes what’s the code

[bitter holly]

02715

[drifting lark]

is the video new?

[bitter holly]

not at all

[marsh dune]

No

[drifting lark]

is the picture new

[bitter holly]

picture is new yeah

[lean coyote]

Wait how do you get to the company files??

[marsh dune]

Also it's matches the one in the coruptfile

[hybrid seal]

backend

link and instructions is in the google doc

[marsh dune]

Top of the letter A

[bitter holly]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

idt this matters sadly

[drifting lark]

i have an idea

lemme do some viewing of the video

[bitter holly]

nah

this is for the very very first part of the arg

the videos i mean

[hybrid seal]

where did this image come from tho?

[marsh dune]

@bitter holly i know it's odd

[bitter holly]

yeah like why do they add this now

[silent mauve]

oh, that picture is new?

[marsh dune]

@hybrid seal memory cube record menu

[hybrid seal]

no i know

i mean if it's not relevant, why did this image show up?

[honest frigate]

Lol dev is definitely watching us! Throwing new hints huh lol

[hybrid seal]

was it there before?

[marsh dune]

idk

I saw it first time entering the code

[bitter holly]

i don't think it's there before

[honest frigate]

Is it in the doc?

[hybrid seal]

if it's new then it is relevant, no?

[bitter holly]

no

[bitter holly]

thing is how

[hybrid seal]

that's the question of the hour

[bitter holly]

😭

we got a hint but it just made us more confused lmao

[crystal creek]

where?

[marsh dune]

Maybe devs are updating in time to give us symbols like this

[lament sail]

those symbols were also in the TPW hidden scrolls

[drifting lark]

was this image already used then?

[marsh dune]

Wait what if this arg connects to tpw

[bitter holly]

someone had a scroll exactly like that?

i checked the spreadsheet and noone had that exact scroll

[crystal creek]

did we get a hint or something new?

[drifting lark]

possibly

[bitter holly]

idk 😭

[hybrid seal]

didn't the scrolls lead to the grid that became "albert lives" in the corrupted file?

[silent mauve]

the arrangement of symbols isnt new, it matches the original configuration

[bitter holly]

yeah that's why this is so confusing

[crystal creek]

what does possibly mean

[drifting lark]

we don’t know if it’s new or not

[hybrid seal]

there's a new image

maybe

[crystal creek]

alongside the 11 digit code, yes

[bitter holly]

arrangement isn't new but we didn't have an exact scroll like that

[hybrid seal]

which lines up with the scrolls grid, specifically the top of the A in Albert lives

[sturdy pasture]

what kind of codes do we need now?

[bitter holly]

we don't know

[drifting lark]

we’re at a standstill right now

[crystal creek]

hmm

[bitter holly]

oh i think the image already existed lmao

but not under that

oops

[crystal creek]

i feel like if the image was old it might have been recorded in the doc? if its not there we should potentially look into it

[bitter holly]

under the original spreadsheet the image is there

[crystal creek]

oh

[hybrid seal]

so this isnt new

[bitter holly]

so erm we probably should ignore this

[crystal creek]

and its the exact image then

[drifting lark]

yeah

[bitter holly]

back to square one again!

[drifting lark]

here’s hoping the devs say something

[crystal creek]

i really hope they don't do this sort of thing again honestly

locking an ARG behind a giveaway, i mean

[craggy scarab]

does anyone see the number 83620543354

[crystal creek]

that is the 11 digit code we used before maintenance (and still can) to see UB teaser

company files -> confidential tapes

[craggy scarab]

ohh okay thanks, I missed the first part of this

[crystal creek]

For this. Between the time needed to find winners, actually send everything, wait for them to receive, and then rely on them to activate stuff, it's losing its allure

[honest frigate]

Are we 100% sure this old image is not in the memory cube file before?

[bitter holly]

if it were it should be documented

idk

[hybrid seal]

i would take a look through the google doc to see what has been used and not

[honest frigate]

What if this old image leads us to something new?

[crystal creek]

its been there forever

well, at least way before recently

[bitter holly]

is that how we got that image back then? i totally don't know about this

so i assume it's new sorry

[crystal creek]

i dont understand what you mean

oh i see

[honest frigate]

Oh....so no new hints actually.....sigh

[crystal creek]

it's not impossible. i wasnt around then sadly

[bitter holly]

well lemme check how did we get that image back then

[crystal creek]

if not directly from that image, soe relevant source for sure

no coincidence that exact grid is used in the scroll solution we have

[bitter holly]

i can't really find anything so that's probably safe to assume that is how we got that image back then so yeah we should ignore that image totally

[tender remnant]

are the secret numbers and letters in the video a client code or something?

[hybrid seal]

yes that was solved. you can check the google doc

[tender remnant]

mk

thx

[fallen basalt]

Is the bkm website down or is my computer tripping

[tender remnant]

it’s up

[lusty summit]

What happens if you text the email [e-mail] ?

[tranquil dock]

We've tried, no reply

[lusty summit]

Yeah me too

[bitter holly]

ah it's one of the recording's name

[lusty summit]

I thought it was gonna be a bot answering, too bad

[tranquil dock]

Have you tried the other recording names?

[lusty summit]

What about 3S12PZ474B ?

[bitter holly]

yea

[lusty summit]

What is it ?

[bitter holly]

to find jimbo's client code

[lusty summit]

Where can i use it ?

In bestkeptmemory.com ?

[bitter holly]

it has already been used

[lusty summit]

Can somebody please send me all the google docs where all the args are currently stored ? I’m so lost

[lusty summit]

Oh ok

[hybrid seal]

checked pinned messages

[lusty summit]

Where ?

[hybrid seal]

in here? like in this channel?

[bitter holly]

tis

[lusty summit]

Maybe dm ?

Aaaah ok

[tranquil dock]

Swipe the right side of the channel out, should be a pin icon at the top, might have a red dot next to it

[lusty summit]

Ok

What abt the other doc ?

[tranquil dock]

All docs should be listed there, for the white door arg, go to the white door arg channel on the left

But we think the white door isn't relevant to this

[lusty summit]

Oh okay, thank you ! It’s a bit bad that I missed all the args which makes the new video pretty pointless now 😦

I wish I was on time

[fluid geode]

guys i found this code on the last videio from bkm
3S12PZ574B

[tranquil dock]

I'm hopeful this will speed up soon and you can get a taste of it!

[fluid geode]

whats the use for it?

[lusty summit]

It’s the client code

[hybrid seal]

this phase just started yesterday

[lusty summit]

What phase ?

[tranquil dock]

I'm sorry, we've already used that, check the pinned doc

[fluid geode]

where

oh i see

[hybrid seal]

the current phase after the bkm website reopened

[lusty summit]

But is it based on the old arg ?

[hybrid seal]

after the winners all recieved their codes

which one are you referring to? there has been more than one rusty lake arg

[lusty summit]

Well the old bkm arg

The one with the irl vhs tapes

[hybrid seal]

this is that one, yes

[crystal pecan]

You can check the After Maintenance section of this doc to get updated: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzzelwN4491j93h__i1taim6_RSFYRSzGeAZOOlGMvE/edit#heading=h.49aizu5lzxg6

It is indeed a continuation 😄

[lusty summit]

So I completely missed everything ?

[hybrid seal]

no

[crystal pecan]

It's still ongoing as of now!

[golden beacon]

hope the other 5 videos appear soon

[lusty summit]

Do I need to review all the old explenations to solve this one ?

[hybrid seal]

i recommend reading through the google doc

[lusty summit]

Sure ok

Thanks

[golden beacon]

i read them and i'm ok

[crystal pecan]

It does help to know what has and hasn't been done before. All of the new stuff is in the After Maintenance part
Good luck!

[lusty summit]

Thanks : )

[fluid geode]

i found nothig in the doc

[fluid geode]

wha

[hybrid seal]

this is in the doc

[fluid geode]

where is it

[crystal pecan]

The document is 56 pages, if you're seeing less than that, Google isn't loading properly and you may need to restart

[hybrid seal]

near the bottom, under "BKM website after maintenance"

[crystal pecan]

This is page 46

[fluid geode]

oh okok

ohhhhh

nice

thanks

[lusty summit]

God I love how deep rusty lake studios went for their fans, and how smart the community is !

I can’t even do the quarter of what you guys have done lol

[lament sail]

well that makes sense, considering its a group effort.

[lusty summit]

How much time did it take ?

[tranquil dock]

The previous part of the arg, they fed us clues bit by bit so it spread over several weeks

[lusty summit]

But how do you even get the clues together ?

How am i suppsoed to know what goes where ?

[golden beacon]

group effort

[tranquil dock]

They showed us livestreams, that lead us to scrolls in the past within, and then everyone coordinated on discord to share the results of their scrolls

[lusty summit]

I really wanna get into args I’ve never solved one yet. Can anyone recommend an easier arg to start with ?

I’d love to try it out

[tranquil dock]

I don't know how easy it was, but I know that bungie just did one for their new game marathon, which was solved overnight (American time, but I'm in the UK)

[lusty summit]

Where can i start ?

[lament sail]

that's not related to this ARG

I suggest using google.

[tranquil dock]

r/marathonARG had some of the stuff, if you scroll to the beginning

Sorry damy

[lusty summit]

Sure thank you !

Sorry damy

[fluid geode]

i finished reading that, whats the code for?

[tranquil dock]

We think someone found the client code before the discord did, input it into the winners form on the main bkm website, causing him to appear on the winners list, but it was a nice confirmation that we were right. but it did mean that the discord solving it didn't achieve anything

[fluid geode]

oh

well i commented the code on the instagram but i was at school so i couldnt put the code

[bronze tiger]

hey yall, to the other winners, was your video on the vhs different then the one on the USB?

because ive uploaded mine via USB, i haven't seen my vhs tape

[marsh dune]

Does this part already solved?

Almost all puzzle have a emoji representation

[silent mauve]

yeah that was part of the first game

i wonder how many people nowadays actually still have vhs players xd

[abstract parrot]

Anyone found out about the white door website?

[lament sail]

@abstract parrot be sure to check out the pins in this channel:) they contain tons of information

[abstract parrot]

Ah. Neat

... Might need to see this better on laptop

But I didn't see anything mentioning the weird coding I found.

[abstract parrot]

I have a working vhs player

[silent mauve]

so do i actually xd

[abstract parrot]

Let's hope

Dang this services page is crazy

[muted harness]

I'm very late, but I put all my stuff in on the site lmao
