[river tulip]

what code tho

what door

[fervent tartan]

Yah

[light minnow]

Might help for future doors

[fervent tartan]

The door 3

[river tulip]

yea prolly

[haughty light]

HOTEL DRESS CODES would be "the code"

[river tulip]

which door tells the code

[void dune]

okay if this is it tho how'd you do that

[haughty light]

Except "the door telle the code" can't be true due to multiple es.

[river tulip]

some cypher thing

[stoic yacht]

I'm not scrolling up, lmao, but can anyone confirm or deny how certain we are of "the door tells the code'"?

[tacit tundra]

Door 2 had steam key for RL hotel

[haughty light]

Tells*

[fervent tartan]

The door 3

[stoic yacht]

because the grammar is wonky

[solid bridge]

i probably had an idea but its kinda obvious now-

[light minnow]

Check door 2 tho, it says hotel dress codes

[maiden phoenix]

not very

[light minnow]

Then you'll believe me

[stoic yacht]

Yeah, I thought so. Didn't seem like the past hour had any revelations, since I left

[fervent tartan]

Actually, door 3 said that

[maiden phoenix]

nowhere proposed 27 different combinations from the door, which all turns out to be invalid

[void dune]

door 2 doesn't say that lmao

[stoic yacht]

Doors don't tell, not even when personified

[light minnow]

Ok

[fervent tartan]

All of them?

Ow

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[strange salmon]

The problem here is: We already tried with waiting for new clues yesterday, but we got to nowhere with yesterday's clue. We have loose pieces

[fervent tartan]

If I put all combinations we did I would take some pages from the doc lmao :/

[stoic yacht]

It's only been 2 days of clues, though

December is a long month

Patience is a virtue!

[strange salmon]

I don't own such virtue!

[stoic yacht]

/j

[fervent tartan]

What

Wdym Sammy ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

[stoic yacht]

We are a virtuous server!

Full of voodoo dolls and-

Okay nevermind

[void dune]

do we have any leads on what the 3's in the code means? I'm tempted to just switch them out to 'C" but idk if that'll go anywhere

[stoic yacht]

No lead so far. Door 3 on day 3 with the hotel patron in room 3 with 3 3's in the code.

[river tulip]

🤨

[strange salmon]

What I said about removing people's eyes?

[stoic yacht]

This is so incredibly valid/

[fervent tartan]

We should make one of these

[stoic yacht]

You said you didn't have the virtue of patience, and I will not stand for it!

/j

[strange salmon]

Dale moment

[gilded fjord]

And Ms. Pheasant's 3 costumes/roles

[fervent tartan]

What's /j

[stoic yacht]

/joke

[solid bridge]

can i tell my idea before i forget about it,,,

[strange salmon]

yes

[fervent tartan]

/joke

[onyx summit]

Lol

[void dune]

I was just thinking about the Day 2 maze!! Has anyone tried it on the door in CE: Cave?

[fervent tartan]

This command don't work

[strange salmon]

you always can

[stoic yacht]

It's not a command, Jonathan, it means I'm not serious about what I'm saying

[vestal dune]

so its not working with ceasar cypher?

[river tulip]

OOO

[fervent tartan]

O

[haughty light]

This is a valid idea

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[stoic yacht]

''I'm going to ban you. /j'' means I'm not going to ban anyone and I'm joking as a reaction

[void dune]

literally just hit me what the path reminded me of

[fervent tartan]

I'm dumb ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

[strange salmon]

YOU GENIUS

[river tulip]

SOMEBODY TRY IT

[stoic yacht]

Nah, just haven't encountered tone indicators before

[fervent tartan]

CE cave?

[void dune]

I'm gonna try it now!!

[river tulip]

IM AT SCHOOL I CANT😭

[strange salmon]

I will I WILL lemme open collection

[ripe girder]

lets try it

[fervent tartan]

What maze?

Guys what maze

[boreal dawn]

2 day

[fervent tartan]

No, in CE cave

[strange salmon]

I'm in steam already

[tacit tundra]

CE cave what door??? I can't remember

[fervent tartan]

Yes

Looks like they're talking about door 2 in CE cve

[gilded fjord]

Yes, but what are the chances that the modified a game just for this event? Seems unlikely

[river tulip]

is this it?

[fervent tartan]

Oh right

[haughty light]

No

[fervent tartan]

I don't think this will do

[void dune]

oh wait not the maze the door to the elevator at the end. it has that grid puzzle on it

[river tulip]

yea now that i’m looking at it

[strange salmon]

Maybe there was always something there, but noone had the genius to try it

[void dune]

maybe i'm not remembering it right

[strange salmon]

Anyways we have nothing else to do, do we?

[haughty light]

According to steam DB

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[haughty light]

The CE Collection update was 5 days ago

The latest*"

[strange salmon]

Ooooh

[stoic yacht]

There's a big chance the following days will clarify more.

[boreal dawn]

thats it

[strange salmon]

This is juicy

[fervent tartan]

Looks like they are talking about CE cave door

[strange salmon]

The submarine

[fervent tartan]

I will reinstall just for this lmao

[gilded fjord]

Ohhh

[river tulip]

this?

[fervent tartan]

YES

[haughty light]

Ye

[fervent tartan]

This

[void dune]

YEAH

[strange salmon]

Oh right

[river tulip]

it might work maybe

[fervent tartan]

It doesn't fit

[void dune]

I wasn't sure if it would

[ripe girder]

don’t work

[tacit tundra]

but that's 4*4

[ripe girder]

is to small

[fervent tartan]

Yes

[river tulip]

good idea tho

[ripe girder]

i’ve tried it

[strange salmon]

Yea

[fervent tartan]

We should put the grid of the maze in the doc archive

[haughty light]

It's in there^

[void dune]

there's a doc archive?

[strange salmon]

It's there

[haughty light]

Yes

[fervent tartan]

Could someone send the door 2 maze here?

[void dune]

i've been here literally a day sorry

[haughty light]

Check the pinned messages

Nah it's okay

[fervent tartan]

Do you want me to send?

[stoic yacht]

No need, Jonathan, it's just in pinned

[river tulip]

it’s pinned

[fervent tartan]

Yes

[void dune]

oh perfect

[fervent tartan]

It's weird to call my name like that

[ripe girder]

the code is steam?

[fervent tartan]

Wait a sec

[strange salmon]

Ok but if the cube escape collection was updated 5 days ago there's something on it (probably)?

[fervent tartan]

Good

[river tulip]

wait was it actually

[strange salmon]

Yup

[river tulip]

ok then there’s def something in there

[ripe girder]

i think we have to interact with a game

[haughty light]

According to steam DB

[strange salmon]

Not def, but not impossible neither

[river tulip]

we don’t know where tho

[river tulip]

no way it’s a coincidence

[ripe girder]

so

if there will be dropped a code of 4 numbers i think is for the snow globe in birthday

[strange salmon]

Or the box in seasons (Or the lake)

[ripe girder]

in christmas

[fierce dock]

i'll try to find the changelog of the update

[fervent tartan]

Call me Ashford/Ash pls

[river tulip]

alr

[fervent tartan]

Thanks S2

[ripe girder]

maybe in a general chat we are a little disorganized

[fervent tartan]

Yes

[strange salmon]

posted some failed caesar code results in the doc

[fervent tartan]

Let's talk about dogs

[river tulip]

they should make a advent chat

[vestal dune]

how about walking path in the forest of Paradox

[fervent tartan]

Good idea

[maiden phoenix]

nope

[ripe girder]

exact

[river tulip]

we tried that

[maiden phoenix]

some ppl tried it

[haughty light]

Naaa

General barely sees traffic

[strange salmon]

It's an irregular grid, actually. iirc, we need something 8x4

[ripe girder]

just for write the tentative

[haughty light]

This is a good boost for the channel

[river tulip]

alr

[ripe girder]

wait

wait

wait

[fervent tartan]

What

[ripe girder]

paradox mist?

[onyx summit]

waits

[haughty light]

Doesn't fit

[fervent tartan]

What doesn't fit?

[ripe girder]

k

[strange salmon]

Hey what about the musical box in Ms Pheasant room?

[ripe girder]

love tha fish

[fervent tartan]

Me too

[maiden phoenix]

dont think so

[ripe girder]

i created it

[fervent tartan]

No you didn't

Rlly?

[ripe girder]

yes i did xd

[river tulip]

you can only do one note per line on that

[solid bridge]

idk about yall but i wrote my idea in the doc,,

[strange salmon]

Yes they did, winner of the sticker contest

[fervent tartan]

Thank you for making such a good sticker

And dis

[ripe girder]

i know i just posted the will of everyone

[fervent tartan]

So

It's kinda unclear but

Will we be getting the advent channel?

[haughty light]

No.

[fervent tartan]

O

[ripe girder]

😭

[strange salmon]

I like seeing the general chat becoming alive

[haughty light]

Me too^

[stoic yacht]

I don't understand the question. Are you asking after a physical advent calendar? Then nah. You need to have those before December starts

[strange salmon]

By the way, "The door tells the code" is confirmed or just speculation?

[stoic yacht]

But goshdarn will I buy one next year if it goes live on the merch store

[fervent tartan]

I used to ignore this channel lmao

[stoic yacht]

HINT HINT

TAKE NOTES PLS

[ripe girder]

ok okk

[strange salmon]

WHAT HINT

[fervent tartan]

What

[boreal dawn]

it doesnt work

[stoic yacht]

I'm hinting at RL that they should make more merch

[ripe girder]

i have my note book

oh

[fervent tartan]

What?

[maiden phoenix]

speculation

since there is no solved riddle at the moment

[river tulip]

i got the paradox painting i need a hoodie or somn

[stoic yacht]

We;re getting "the advent calendar" daily, so I didn't get the question

[strange salmon]

I'm gotta get my notebook, hol up

[stoic yacht]

I'd love a good hoodie tbh.

Or more books

I like books

[haughty light]

O ye me too

[fervent tartan]

No, if we will be getting a advent channel in the server

[ripe girder]

imma taking notes

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[stoic yacht]

NoFlavor uploads every day

[fervent tartan]

O

Nice

[onyx summit]

There's merch?? Oh boy I need it

All of it

[river tulip]

this on a hoodie bro😩😩

[fervent tartan]

I think they don't send to Brazil

[fervent tartan]

It would be gorgeous

[ripe girder]

no no no the scarification scenes of paradise.

[onyx summit]

Well I'm not in Brazil

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[ripe girder]

sacrifice”

[fierce dock]

Damn, i dont know how to find the changelog of the update of cubeescape ><

[fervent tartan]

I'm

[maiden phoenix]

steam db

https://steamdb.info/app/1292940/history/

[fierce dock]

thanks ^^

[boreal dawn]

btw what was the answer of 2 days code?

[haughty light]

The code in the door was a steam key

[strange salmon]

Steam key for Hotel

[haughty light]

The door itself? No idea.

[boreal dawn]

ok, ty

[river tulip]

we need help

[fervent tartan]

Ya

Let's ask for NoFlavor for a hint

[maiden phoenix]

there is no need

just be patient

for tmr

[fervent tartan]

I was joking

Ya

[strange salmon]

Psychological help or help to solve the puzzle? I- I need both

[fervent tartan]

I need water

But I'm lazy

[stoic yacht]

I don't think you want to get psychological help from a RL server. Might involve too much harm done to your person

Go water yourself like the plant you are!

[fervent tartan]

Plant

[strange salmon]

u

Im a plant?

Woa

[fervent tartan]

I am

I'm not*

Hey I'm no plant

[stoic yacht]

..Yes. You both are plants now.
Can't solve puzzles while dehydrated

[fervent tartan]

:I

[strange salmon]

I wanna get that tattooed in my forehead

[ripe girder]

code don’t work why?

[stoic yacht]

It's not a steam code

[fierce dock]

i have a LOT of coffee 😄

[ripe girder]

oh

[stoic yacht]

We think it's a sentence.

[ripe girder]

ok ok

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[vestal dune]

https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/cryptogram

should be a two key cypher

[river tulip]

blue was an idea

for a key

[vestal dune]

why not hotel and dress for CODES 🙂

[river tulip]

dress code could be the 2

[fierce dock]

it was an idea, not a good but an idea

[river tulip]

do it

[fervent tartan]

What's this

[vestal dune]

if it would have worked i would have shared 🙂

[fervent tartan]

Cellbit would have already solved it... I miss him ;(

[fervent tartan]

O

[untold sedge]

Is it a play store/App Store code

[ripe girder]

and if we have to change the position of the letter in the alphabet?

[fervent tartan]

What's this link

[fervent tartan]

We are doing this

[wind nymph]

THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE

[light minnow]

See

[boreal dawn]

it doesnt work

[wind nymph]

Do we have this?

[dense nimbus]

i tried,not the play store

[boreal dawn]

if b is e, j cannot be e

[wind nymph]

It can

[untold sedge]

It’s not a sentence

There’s numbers in it

[light minnow]

See, another person thinks the same

Oh my gosh broo...

Like, does it matter if there are repeating letters?

[solid bridge]

man, everyone knows about the "the door tells the code"

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[light minnow]

Oh

Lol

Well, it kinda doesn't

[fervent tartan]

The numbers may represent a letter

[light minnow]

What if it was intentional

[fervent tartan]

But if the result have numbers too we have a problem

[river tulip]

i think the 3 is E

maybe

[light minnow]

3 is O

[fervent tartan]

We increase the possibilities to an amazingly hard level

[river tulip]

how do your know

[fervent tartan]

???

[light minnow]

Yes

[fierce dock]

the door tell the code , okay x) the door tell " Hotel dress code" which dontreally help

[ancient herald]

did we find the solution to the code already

because i found it :))

[ripe girder]

13qm = 13 am

[strange salmon]

Tell. TELL

[light minnow]

Hotel dress codes literally is the code in door 2

[boreal dawn]

one more

[soft hamlet]

So many messages since I went away

So are there any decisions?

[strange salmon]

I don't get it-

[ripe girder]

perfect

[ancient herald]

hotel = z3yml

[onyx summit]

What if I3QM is "lake"?

[ancient herald]

and every letter represents the thing

[wind nymph]

No

[strange salmon]

hol up

[ancient herald]

dress= Qabnn

[vestal dune]

The door tells the code!

[onyx summit]

*i3qm

[ripe girder]

so

the door

[fierce dock]

take YZB , find a protocol to arrive to THE , and then apply to others block

[ripe girder]

maybe the next ?

[fierce dock]

it cant be simple substitution

[untold sedge]

Oh oh wait

[strange salmon]

YZB Q33A YJLLC YZB I3QM

[untold sedge]

Wait wait

[ripe girder]

the same things i’ve done now

[untold sedge]

If the text inside is “the door tells the code”

[strange salmon]

Ward is goddamn right

[haughty light]

we don't know that, though.

it cannot be the door tells the code.

[boreal dawn]

i said it

[wind nymph]

Yes. Ward said it

[untold sedge]

Okok

[fierce dock]

okok

[ripe girder]

who have the white door?

[soft hamlet]

There was symbol like on the second door in past within. Isn’t it?

[wind nymph]

It can

[ripe girder]

maybe is a code in game

[river tulip]

oooh

[soft hamlet]

Well what are you all talking about??

[river tulip]

i have it i’m not home rn tho

[light minnow]

We're gonna be reviewing the trailer now aren't we

[ancient herald]

this advent thing is so funn :))

[onyx summit]

J and B cannot both be E, right?

[haughty light]

exactly^

[river tulip]

🥲

[light minnow]

It might

[ancient herald]

yess they arez

[soft hamlet]

No

[dense nimbus]

but that is logo. the second mazes

[wind nymph]

J, B and M are all E

[river tulip]

it’s different

not it

[ripe girder]

the door tells the code:
code in game:
season :
arles :
hotel.
birthday:1894

[acoustic mantle]

it tells nothing I tried :c

[acoustic mantle]

it's too deep for RL

[ancient herald]

maybe the next door will tell the code for the next puzzle 🙂

[river tulip]

maybe

[haughty light]

ahah here's to hoping.

[ripe girder]

right but let’s try the others now

[onyx summit]

"They puzzled and puzzled until their puzzlers were sore. Then they puzzled and puzzled and puzzled some more."

[soft hamlet]

Ahh the white door tells the code. I just realized

[solid bridge]

this is actually the thing i talked about in the doc,,, "the door tells the code" could mean that a possible future door could have a code or a hint for day 3

[ancient herald]

Yess indeed i think that’s most plausible

[fierce dock]

I rather agree with that

[river tulip]

this is prolly it

[haughty light]

ye. but I'm still hesitant on "the door tells the code" bc I believe it cant be a correct cypher

[ripe girder]

for door 2 codes it is a 7x3 tab

[haughty light]

but itsa good start.

[wind nymph]

HOTEL=Z3YML
DRESS=QABNN
CODES=I0RJC
the words on the door Set to the Code of yesterday (what Mr. Bat said)

[light minnow]

We'll just have to wait for door 4 for our minds to either calm down or get a bit more insane lul

[fierce dock]

also, i dont think we'll find something in "white door"

[strange salmon]

I think that Rusty Lake overestimated our puzzle solving capacity. I'll be in the familiar xmas dinner with the phone solving codes from furries asuras

[ripe girder]

this is hotel steam

[wind nymph]

It's clearly The door teils the code

[ripe girder]

i don’t have it so i can’t try-

[river tulip]

it probably is but we gotta keep our minds open

it might not be that

[wind nymph]

Ok, and?

[fierce dock]

i have it but cant try rightnow

[haughty light]

the hotel key could still be repurposed to a cypher.

[onyx summit]

Wait wait wait WHAT

[river tulip]

maybe

[wind nymph]

Right

[ripe girder]

idt this is going to be an hint-

[ancient herald]

yeahh probably hahahah they probably just made some simple puzzles to keep us busy

[ripe girder]

the white door code is: 3461

[river tulip]

what if we use these letters for what ms pheasant said

[wind nymph]

YES!

[strange salmon]

Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense now

[ripe girder]

me too

[strange salmon]

Ok but THE SHAPE ON THE DOOR

[ancient herald]

yesss that was so random

[wind nymph]

Yeah

[ancient herald]

it has to mean something

[fierce dock]

that a good idea !

[ripe girder]

7x3 tab is in any game so i think we have to use it in another door?

[onyx summit]

IT IS "THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE"

[strange salmon]

I think it's 8x4

[ripe girder]

nope 7

[wind nymph]

Yeah, 8 by 4

[ripe girder]

how

let me check

[ancient herald]

maybe the shape will have to do something in the next one and the clue of “the door tells the code” could refer to the shape

[river tulip]

i ain’t even to finish this it’s the door tells the code

[boreal dawn]

imagine, we will need to use all the doors for the 25th day

[stoic yacht]

Seems like a weird cypher, if the L stands for an L

[river tulip]

💀

[haughty light]

and the M and B stand for E.

[stoic yacht]

Also, you don't use "tell" in that context, gramatically

[soft hamlet]

Imagine, how watching this conversation Rusty Lake admins

[river tulip]

we get the letters from the past door which makes sense

[stoic yacht]

Something like ''gives'' or ''shows'' would work much better

[stoic yacht]

Not quite

[river tulip]

who care

[stoic yacht]

I do, as an English teacher

If the language doesn't fit, there's a high chance it's incorrect

[strange salmon]

we said 3 stands for O

or E

[light minnow]

And in that universe exists things that doesn't fit

[stoic yacht]

If a puzzle requires you to make huge leaps in logic and also requires you to forget how the language works
It's a bad puzzle

And I have yet to see a bad Rusty Lake puzzle

[ripe girder]

YZB Q33A YJLLC YZB I3QM
YZB= the
Q33A=?
YJLLC=t???
YZB=the
I3QM=?
all agree?

[ancient herald]

yeahh i think it could be possible they used weird sentences like that already in the series

[strange salmon]

I'm not a not a native english speaker. What do you use in that context? Better if it has 4 letters and an E

[strange salmon]

yup

[ripe girder]

the past never dies?

[wind nymph]

*I3QM

Not one, i

[strange salmon]

Nope, it's The Past is never Dead

[boreal dawn]

99%, and 1% for "you"

[stoic yacht]

I simply think this isn't the type of puzzle to bruteforce at all. You can make some guesses, but the actual answer has to be found in the evidence.

[ancient herald]

also the developers are dutch and if you translate “the door tells the time” to dutch literally it makes a lot of sense thoo (i’m native dutch speaker)

[stoic yacht]

It's very likely we're simply missing a clue, which will be given at a later date.

[haughty light]

Lmao what?

[stoic yacht]

De deur verteld de waarheid is also wonky grammar

[strange salmon]

Ok but the 3 doesn't fit, does it?

[haughty light]

Efteling type beat.

[ancient herald]

neee de deur vertelt de tijd is pretty logical right? but i’m flemish maybe thats the problem 😅

[stoic yacht]

De deur geeft de tijd

[strange salmon]

I love how the half of the ones here aren't native english speakers

[stoic yacht]

(Also, I didn't see time, I was still stuck on truth)

[boreal dawn]

did we solve day 2 without a clue?

[stoic yacht]

De deur laat de tijd zien... doesn't sound as good in Dutch as it does in English. But same principle

[ripe girder]

if we tried with “the” let’s now try with “you”?

[stoic yacht]

Day 2 has not yet been solved, likely because there's nothing yet to solve

[ancient herald]

yess indeedd

[stoic yacht]

It seems like it's dependent on a later day

[haughty light]

ye this seems very likely^

[strange salmon]

uuuuuhmm you could use you twice in a phrase without sounding repetitive?

[onyx summit]

Say, it seems to be 3×7. Each line, before a bend, could be a number. In which case the numbers would be 21323511111311122

[haughty light]

huh interesting.

[stoic yacht]

Lynn is on another level XD

[ripe girder]

morse?

or nah

[onyx summit]

Idk

[strange salmon]

Tried with hexadecimal, didn't worked

[rough wind]

Sorry, cant see how that tracks?

[onyx summit]

😎

[haughty light]

morse would be either short or long

so 0 or 1.

[rough wind]

The morse thing

[strange salmon]

Anyways, add that in the doc so it doesn't gets lost!

[ancient herald]

the only thing i’m hesitant about are the “-“s in day two like why are they there

[rustic geode]

it was a steam code

[ancient herald]

ohh okayy 🙂

[ripe girder]

morse

it’s a word of 7 letters if is morse

no wait impossible

[strange salmon]

It may be backwards too

[rough wind]

So like -.----.....-...--? thats definetly not morse

[ripe girder]

oh

[rough wind]

Also theres no spaces

[onyx summit]

For those that would like to see what I see

[fluid halo]

hi everyone

[river tulip]

H G?

[rustic geode]

Hello @fluid halo !

[stoic yacht]

Howdy!

[soft hamlet]

Wow!

[strange salmon]

HG5???

[river tulip]

WAIT MAYBE

[onyx summit]

HG Wells. Which means we need a time machine

[river tulip]

what does it mean

[strange salmon]

HEEY

[rough wind]

HG 5 THAT MEANS.... nothing

[strange salmon]

Hotel Guests, which are 5

[ripe girder]

have ever tried to the pigeon room in the stereo to put the dots in the order of the shape?

[onyx summit]

AH-

[river tulip]

who was the 5th

[strange salmon]

Mr. Deer, Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Boar, Mrs. Pigeon and Ms. Pheasant

[haughty light]

Mrs. Pigeon is in room 5.

[river tulip]

ms pheasant was the next one after that too

connection??

[strange salmon]

there's an order actually? I mean, more than the rooms

you can kill any at any time ig

[haughty light]

the "perfect" order toget all the stars.

[onyx summit]

I need my white board

[soft hamlet]

Mr. Boar was 2 room. The normal number is two

[strange salmon]

Lynn, the white board addict

[river tulip]

i was leaning more toward this

[fluid halo]

Is NoFlavor one of the makers of rusty lake?

[haughty light]

She's part of the studio, but not one of the founders.

she fills the role of community manager.

[fluid halo]

ok

[fierce dock]

also , she'll not help us :p

[haughty light]

she will not.

[stoic yacht]

Nope! No spoilers XD

Only reason we can help is because we don't know anything

[haughty light]

for the record we mods know as much as you all do.

ye that^

[river tulip]

yea i didn’t even think anyone from the rusty lake team was in thsi server

[haughty light]

it's the official server!

[stoic yacht]

This is an official server!

[haughty light]

LMAO SAMMY IM SORRY

[strange salmon]

WE'rE ofFICIAL

[stoic yacht]

LMAO

[ancient herald]

idk if it's a good idea or something but maybe we could make a seperate channel for the Advent Calendar? it's just an idea thoo

[haughty light]

nah there's really no need.

[strange salmon]

No.

[haughty light]

General fits that job just fine.

[strange salmon]

lol

OK

[ancient herald]

okayy :))

[river tulip]

we thought that but they want general to be active

[ripe girder]

the shape doesn’t fit in the second maze logo

[river tulip]

which is fair

[strange salmon]

Gotta leave, see ya tomorrow!

[haughty light]

see ya o/

[river tulip]

alr see you later

[wind nymph]

Bye

[ancient herald]

byee

[haughty light]

(for a more comprehensive non spammy view on our progress there's a document pinned )

[river tulip]

i’m gonna add the hg5 thing to the fox

doc

[haughty light]

ye feel free!

[ancient herald]

ohh okayy that's nice i'll check it out :))

[wind nymph]

Can't access bc slowwwwww internet

[haughty light]

be sure to paste the upside door too.

[onyx summit]

Boar was also the 5th to die.... 🤔

Methinks Boar is important

[onyx summit]

Lol

[ripe girder]

submarine direction ??

no no

[onyx summit]

What's the name of the guy in Paradise who eats the burger? (I'm 98% sure he's Mr Boar, but I haven't finished the game yet)

[soft hamlet]

So do I

[wind nymph]

Gerard

[onyx summit]

Gerard

[storm lake]

This exists

[onyx summit]

Ok

[storm lake]

Lovely

[stoic yacht]

Boar is the 💩 eater

[wind nymph]

Hi DB

[ripe girder]

good sandwich

[haughty light]

welcome to the server, I think? @storm lake 😄

[storm lake]

Yup

First time here iirc

[stoic yacht]

[storm lake]

Unless of course my memories- you know the drill

[haughty light]

we sure do

[onyx summit]

is Gerard the key?

[storm lake]

Sooo… about the advent calendar

[ripe girder]

gerard is everything

[storm lake]

Where do I go if I wanna try solve it?

[onyx summit]

Oh hello there, new person! Welcome!

[ripe girder]

pinned

[haughty light]

here's fine!

[onyx summit]

Right here

[haughty light]

we also have a document pinned that's a bit tidier.

[storm lake]

Gotcha

[onyx summit]

We spent all day trying to figure out today's code and pretty sure we got it

[haughty light]

im still very much on team doubt

[ripe girder]

HG 7?

idk

HG7 = 877 on tv?

[boreal dawn]

you think it is "the door tells the code"?

cause idk

[onyx summit]

I can't remember who said it, but yesterday's steam code corresponds with "hotel dress codes", and using that as the key, today's code spells out "the door tells the code"

[wind nymph]

I will Spam "the door tells the code" until i get muted i won't

[soft hamlet]

White door maybe?

[haughty light]

nah I think its just a reference to an advent calendar door

if its correct.

[soft hamlet]

the door tells the code

[onyx summit]

Aye same

[soft hamlet]

Ok

[onyx summit]

I need a bigger white board

[wind nymph]

Lmao

[ancient herald]

i think we are correct with "the door tells the code" too, it was fun being here to solve the puzzle but i have to go noww, see you guys tomorrow :))

[soft hamlet]

they were

[haughty light]

see ya Ward o/

[onyx summit]

Byyyeee

[wind nymph]

Seeya Ward

[boreal dawn]

bb

[ripe girder]

when new door?

[haughty light]

tomorrow.

[ripe girder]

i’m in italian time so i don’t know when is tomorrow for you

[haughty light]

well

it's currently 7;48PM

so I think we understand eachother 😉

[ripe girder]

yes

[fierce dock]

same here 19.47 :p

[tender lantern]

the fucking asss

where is the post

[ripe girder]

we are kinda near

[haughty light]

check pinned messages @tender lantern

[fluid halo]

or maybe something is hidden in the graphics itself? someone tried to rotate colors for example?

[tender lantern]

thx

[haughty light]

I havent looked that much into it

[fierce dock]

okay , let me a couple of minutes and i try some color tricks with it

i need to finish a song before x)

[fair sparrow]

What's the code on rustylake ig? I'm new here

[haughty light]

we dont know yet!

[soft hamlet]

What is ig?

[onyx summit]

👀 ....most likely??

[fair sparrow]

Instagram

[haughty light]

Instagram right?

Yes a theory is currently floating that it could mean "the door tells the code" which would indicate that hotel dress codes

is some sort of code.

what for? we have no idea.

[onyx summit]

Actually, since "hotel dress codes" was already used in solving today's code, I think "the door tells the code" is referring to something else

[haughty light]

O right

[fair sparrow]

What the dress code of what the character is wearing?

[wind nymph]

We already used HOTEL DRESS CODES

[haughty light]

I mustve missed that leap of logic.

[fair sparrow]

idk the name in english sorry

[fierce dock]

it's just a dress, no ?

[fair sparrow]

And it cannot be a hint? like "The hotel dress code is what she's wearing" or something like

[wind nymph]

HOTEL=Z3YML
DRESS=QABNN
CODES=I0RJC
the words on the door Set to the Code of yesterday (what Mr. Bat said)
That used on what Ms. Pheasant said

[fierce dock]

i thought that, like "dress" "blue" but nothin

[fair sparrow]

What kind of code is this??

[haughty light]

we haven't found any known cyphers, I think?

[boreal dawn]

just a letter for letter

[haughty light]

but, honestly,

[fair sparrow]

hmm, got it

[haughty light]

You're giving so many letters different meanings?

[stoic yacht]

Not Caesar, not Vigenére, not Fibanacci, not binari, not anything seemingly.

[untold sedge]

Reverse engineering it would be my guess

[stoic yacht]

Three different letters that correspond to "E" doesn't sound right

[wind nymph]

Yes, Well, devs do

[untold sedge]

If you can make the gibberish say “the door tells the code” then use the same key on “hotel dress code”

[stoic yacht]

It's only day 3, we don't need to resort to bruteforcing yet.

[onyx summit]

But is does make sense. And look, the code that the bat says is vertical, same as how hotel dress codes appears on the door

[stoic yacht]

It's much more likely the defining clue is gonna come eventually

[haughty light]

while I don't deny that I simply won't buy into a seemingly random translation lmao.

[wind nymph]

It's not random....

[onyx summit]

a coherent translation

Which is more than anything else we have

[haughty light]

no but it's totally random though? lmao.

[boreal dawn]

I'm telling you guys, on the 25th day we will need to use all 25 doors and as a reward we will be given tickets to the hotel

[onyx summit]

I don't think it's random ;-;

[haughty light]

@boreal dawn I wouldn't be surprised!

I personally think we'll get riddles in batches?

I dont know if it'll be one batch of 25

but say 5 riddles of 5 days seems reasonable?

[boreal dawn]

yes

[wind nymph]

Ye

[fair sparrow]

Do someone checked if there's something secret in the image or the backsound?

[haughty light]

Not as far as i know.

someone here mentioned they were going to try some colour tricks though?

[ancient herald]

i have a note how i tried to solve it

maybe this makes it a bit understandable 😅

[boreal dawn]

ok, I'm going to bed, good luck solving this guys, good night

[wind nymph]

gn

[haughty light]

gn o7

[stoic yacht]

The issue is that I can't think of any cypher that links multiple letters to one singular one, like BJM=E does

Night! 😄

[soft hamlet]

What about HG 5/2?

[short sphinx]

i tried to do it like that to but it seems like multiple letters can translate to only one letter
so how can we really translate other messages with this system?

[stoic yacht]

Right, exactly!

It was a good idea, but it's a dead end (for now! Maybe we'll know more tomorrow)

[short sphinx]

i have a good website to do translation with a LOT of systems, if you want to...

[stoic yacht]

We've already tried quite a few, but double checking can't hurt XD

[short sphinx]

is it late where you are ?

[fair sparrow]

Maybe by elimination, all the letters have more than one translation?

[stoic yacht]

20:04 rn, but I've been here all day.

[fair sparrow]

16:04 here

[fierce dock]

well, i have things to do too, see you tomorrow for the next door ^^

[haughty light]

o/

[short sphinx]

understable!!

[fierce dock]

good luck all !

[stoic yacht]

See you tomorrow! I really do feel like that will be where the real puzzlin happens

[fair sparrow]

Who got the steam code?

[stoic yacht]

We don't know.

[fierce dock]

yeah i think too

[wind nymph]

Thanks. Bye Pyros

[ripe girder]

i think is better to wait for now

[fierce dock]

bye cheshire

[short sphinx]

i just came here to see if anyone had ideas to, maybe i will find things idk

[ripe girder]

we are not doing any progress-

first we had a way but now we are at the start

[haughty light]

if you do feel free to share @short sphinx !

[stoic yacht]

And tomorrow we'll get one step further, Simone. December is a long month!

[ripe girder]

yes!

[fair sparrow]

maybe it's a new code and we'll just have to wait

[ripe girder]

maybe tomorrow is an hint for the crypted?

[short sphinx]

don't worry we have a lot of time to understand everything

[fair sparrow]

What time the story was posted for you guys?

[haughty light]

3;30 I think

[fair sparrow]

Here was 11am +/-

[ripe girder]

like 5h ago

[short sphinx]

i don't know :/ not this morning for me too

[ripe girder]

now we are sure that the codes we know by now doesn’t fit in any game is a step further

[short sphinx]

i have this website: https://www.dcode.fr/liste-outils
it's in french but you cant translate easily, maybe if we test a lot of things we will find something-

[onyx summit]

@haughty light can I DM you?

[haughty light]

uh sure

I don't see why not

my DMs r always open.

[short sphinx]

monoalphabetic substitution seems like something that could work

[ripe girder]

oh

never heared this before

[onyx summit]

It's not going through?

I just didn't want to leave a wall of text in here

[haughty light]

Huh

my dms should be open

can u just try sending me hi lol

[river tulip]

add each other as friends first

[onyx summit]

That didn't work either ;-; Maybe my connection is bugging out

[haughty light]

huh

@river tulip Ye I mean my dms r usually open for anyone in the server

bc im a mod, I gotta

lemme fr u though Lynn

[onyx summit]

Okie dokie

[storm lake]

oh yeah i need try and help solve this lol

i forgor

[cosmic saddle]

idk if anyone might've pointed it out but HOTEL DRESS CODES is an anagram for DECODE LESS SHORT

[haughty light]

Interesting!

[rough wind]

So, decode YJLLC ?

Thats the "less short" group of letters from the video

[cosmic saddle]

maybe...

I was thinking of decoding just the phrase "LESS SHORT"

[rough wind]

Yeah, that also makes sense

[acoustic mantle]

after that I'm sure that there is no code hidden in Pheasant's door

it means that the yesterday key is used to decrypt her message

which could be a clue either for earlier or for later

[cosmic saddle]

I tried running "LESS SHORT" through a cipher with key 22 and it gave "haoo odknp"

[wind nymph]

Or for both since it could mean the pattern on door 2 tells the code for a future hint we get

[cosmic saddle]

Which is an anagram for A POND HOOK

[acoustic mantle]

that's basically what I assume

however, as I think about it, it's not that usefull

we overthink this event that much that even such thing as a weird door pattern is already noticed and has several interpretations

I've got THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE before understanding it's connection to the yesterday key

I've tried to basically go backwards and get a key from HOTEL DRESS CODES

27 combinations

[rough wind]

Yeah, i do think we are trying too hard to find anything and are finding things that are not realy there

[haughty light]

Lmao yes.

[fervent tartan]

Back

Have we found the solution?

[haughty light]

No.

or well

[wind nymph]

It's a long way to the 25th and It's paved with hints

[haughty light]

the "the door tells the code" could be something.

But I'm personally in camp "lmao ye we'll get more info down the line"

[fervent tartan]

Then the code is solved?

[hallow fractal]

it totaly is

[haughty light]

could be proven wrong though!

[fervent tartan]

🤨

[haughty light]

well if "the door tells the code" is a result from "HOTEL DRESS CODES"

then either the "code" is the maze pattern on day 2

or the code is on a door we haven't seen yet.

[fervent tartan]

YZB-Q33A-YJLLC-YZB-I3QM = ?

The door tells the code?

[haughty light]

yes there's an explanation in the doc.

[fervent tartan]

wow

[haughty light]

I personally don't buy into it, but that's just me.

[fervent tartan]

I tried door in q33a lmao

[haughty light]

the explanations pretty solid.

[fervent tartan]

Ok

Both B and J can mean E

[haughty light]

according to that explanation, yes.

[wind nymph]

And M

[fervent tartan]

Solved then?

[haughty light]

Potentially.

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[haughty light]

We can't confirm anything.

everything's just a theory rn.

[fervent tartan]

Wow it was easy after all

[haughty light]

no you can't say that.

we might be completely wrong.

[fervent tartan]

NoFlavor watching us having the wrong answer<

[haughty light]

it's not "easy"

[fervent tartan]

Ya

It was

Dunno the word

¿Short?

[haughty light]

Short

lmao

[fervent tartan]

?

[haughty light]

the announcement was posted roughly 6 and a half hours ago

[fervent tartan]

Yes

And

[haughty light]

and we literally can't say anyhing for certain

that's not "short"

[fervent tartan]

?

I mean we did a lot in a short time

Short time but good results

[haughty light]

Uh

that's a personal opinion!

[fervent tartan]

Ye

[rustic geode]

Honestly, sorta glad I decided to just try to decipher the pheasant sentence just because "the" appeared twice

Gave us another step further

[past inlet]

haha wow you guys sure are fast i sadly have had 0 energy

but hopefully i will recover enough eventually do hop in

[fervent tartan]

All this for the door tells the answer

Like

Some kind of riddle saying the answer is in the question

So we going to analyse the door content or just skip for tomorrow

[haughty light]

analyse away

just know we'll definitely learn more tomorro.w

[past inlet]

you can but was there anything on the door today even? im really pulling a blank rn

[haughty light]

Yes todays door said

HOTEL DRESS CODES

[past inlet]

oh right

sorry i dunno whats up w me today

[fervent tartan]

Don't scream

[haughty light]

Do you want another mute Ash?>

[fervent tartan]

Wa

Was a joke bc of caps

[haughty light]

Alright.

[fervent tartan]

😊

[acoustic mantle]

I tend to agree with Lynn

[fervent tartan]

Oh Lynn dale?

Yeah me too :I

[river tulip]

anything new i haven’t been on my phone in a bit

[haughty light]

ye someone added some snazzy tables to the document

good stuff.

[river tulip]

fire

[fervent tartan]

What's snazzy?

Oh elegant?

[haughty light]

ye

pretty much

[acoustic mantle]

after embracing THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE, deriving from it 27 invalid keys and only then realizing that they all look like the one from yesterday (witch is impossible since the keys are meant to be random) I say with a high degree of certainty that Lynn is right

[fervent tartan]

What's dis

2, 4?

[acoustic mantle]

@onyx summit, my personal respect to you

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[haughty light]

that two is sort of specific.

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[haughty light]

for the time being I've given the door tells the code it's own header in the document.

[fervent tartan]

Doesn't it means day two?

[grave dove]

The door tells the code

[fervent tartan]

Like the door

Ohhhh got you

This.
This is confusing.
This is confusing as hell.

[winged wagon]

normally when you see a line shape like that, the puzzle revolves around tracking the left and right turns

so if we assume you start at the edge, it's something like LLLRRRRLLRRRLLLL

or perhaps 34234

[fervent tartan]

Or morse code?

What

LLLr?

Ohhh

[winged wagon]

L for "turn left", R for "turn right"

[fervent tartan]

Got you

[haughty light]

I think Morse is difficult to discern from this.

[fervent tartan]

Ya

[haughty light]

like you'd have to make L short R long or vice versa

and I don't think that'll do much

[winged wagon]

i'm assuming the code's probably something intelligible word-wise because that's a pretty consistent thing with this franchise haha

[gilded fjord]

Any findings about the code?

[haughty light]

nothing much has changed! and I don't think it will until tomorrow

[onyx summit]

Aww shucks 😊

[gilded fjord]

Oh that's a bummer but well

[onyx summit]

Full disclosure: I believe Cheshire is the one who actually figured out out the steam code matches up with hotel dress codes, I just tried to explain it in my own words

[fervent tartan]

Thank you chesire

[wind nymph]

I think it was figured out before i came to the Party but yeah I linked those hints (too)

[fervent tartan]

Ya

You good brain

👍

[acoustic mantle]

my respect to you as well

[wind nymph]

Thanks ig

[past inlet]

RL related so im posting this here, but what if we eventually saw a 2021/modern day Rusty Lake (the location not the company)

[frozen ermine]

can someone explaine me how the numbers in the figure from day 2 were found?

[fervent tartan]

I have a question

[haughty light]

Uhh which numbers specifically?

Shoot it.

[fervent tartan]

I have a little question

Very tiny and quickly

[haughty light]

Ye

Just

Ask ?

[fervent tartan]

Ok

[haughty light]

There's o need to state three times you have a question.

[fervent tartan]

Who was the first person in this discord server, got very curious about this and just wanted to ask, like those things we just imagine and keep wondering even though the probabilities of having an answer is low because this server is relatively old.

[haughty light]

Lmao I have no idea.

[past inlet]

rusty lake themselves?

lmao????

[haughty light]

Rusty Lake, technically?

You could go back to the very first message posted in general

[fervent tartan]

Ok

[frozen ermine]

21323511111311122
the numbers Lynn found

[haughty light]

I believe that had to do with placing the shape in a grid

[fervent tartan]

I don't think scrolling up is

Good technique

[haughty light]

On a pc you can just Search in general chat

Anf click oldest.

[past inlet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fervent tartan]

Found

Kris kirk you rock

[haughty light]

Well there you go.

[fervent tartan]

What

Creper

[frozen ermine]

i think i was one of the first persons here too xD

[fervent tartan]

Creper 1709

[haughty light]

Ha and crepers been around for s hot minute too!

[fervent tartan]

Your OLD in this

[haughty light]

A true OG

[frozen ermine]

yeah

[fervent tartan]

Whoa

[frozen ermine]

i just appear every time again there is some kind of an arg or a new release

and then i am gone for the next months

[past inlet]

well glad to see a super old be here still even in spirit

[haughty light]

And a certain ghostly hedgehog

[past inlet]

XD..haha

yeah that too

[gilded fjord]

I'm replaying the games and making notes to form my own theories. So, I've just finished CE Case 23 and there is no date for what happens in chapter 2,3 and 4, but on the wiki it says they took place in 1972, did I miss something?

[haughty light]

Uh well 1972 is likely bc case 23 is the investigation of Laura's murder

Who dies in 73.

72***

[haughty light]

Totally Valid though

[fervent tartan]

Damy I have a question

[haughty light]

Again; please just ask them! You do not need to announce you have questions!

[gilded fjord]

Wait, how did she die in 1972 if Dale was investigating the murder in 1971??

[fervent tartan]

Is it bad to reply someone who didn't said English in a English channel not talking english?

So

[haughty light]

Sorry that makes no sense to me @fervent tartan

[fervent tartan]

Is it bad

[haughty light]

Uhh might have my dates wrong?

[fervent tartan]

To answer someone who said not in English

[frozen ermine]

to not write in english?

[fervent tartan]

In another language

[haughty light]

Either way it's likely the investigation is short term after she's killed

[fervent tartan]

Is it bad to reply someone who didn't said English in a English channel not speaking English?

[haughty light]

• we might get a date in mill? And we see Dale in that.

[fervent tartan]

Like "oi" and I reply like: "oi"

[haughty light]

@fervent tartan I'm still very confused but just stick to English in the main channels and we'll be good

[gilded fjord]

Well in chapter 2 he mentions that he continued researching for a few months, but the wiki says Summer 1972, maybe the info is in another game?

[fervent tartan]

I would probably do "oieeeer"

[fervent tartan]

Like

Someone is struggling in samara help

But in Spanish

I answered in Spanish

Is it bad

For me ofc

[eager oyster]

I know Spanish

[haughty light]

No

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[haughty light]

Okay so Ash

When I say

"English only in the main channels"

I mean every channel under the "Rusty Lake" category

[fervent tartan]

Wait a sec then got you mean

[haughty light]

(with the exception of the language channels)

[gilded fjord]

Oh, could be, will check in a bit

[haughty light]

So every language is welcome in the help channels

[fervent tartan]

Oh

Oh ok

[haughty light]

To keep help available to everyone.

[frozen ermine]

nur englisch? das ist gemein!

[fervent tartan]

What

[frozen ermine]

(only english? thats mean!)

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[haughty light]

See I can understand that^

[fervent tartan]

Let me translate
