[icy onyx]

The lore bug consumes all

[meager junco]

It’s nice that a lot of people get into the lore, there’s lots to uncover

[brazen cradle]

Anything on the other locations for potential cameras?

[hexed forge]

Im still not sure if the lore hunt is done or not.

There might be more cameras... he said "They"

[brazen cradle]

Would be nice if Don confirmed whether we are done or not : <

[hexed forge]

He wont just to watch us suffer

[meager junco]

Even if there’s another camera, pretty sure this one was the important one lolol

The other says “TaWbOsOwUs”

[hexed forge]

But what if the other one is a shirley clip!

[meager junco]

I mean….

I am not torturing myself again until I get a confirmation

[icy onyx]

Just happy to see more ARG-esque stuff making a return tbh. its always engaging

[meager junco]

We’ll be back next HT with better planning(we’ll still be running around like headless chickens)

[hexed forge]

Correct.

Dondi would go nuclear if he saw this low quality gif

[meager junco]

Low quality gifs are prime

[zenith frigate]

Wait a minute
Dondi said "They" when he confirmed its existence

WERE GOING BACK

[hexed forge]

You just noticed that

But I would wait for a clear confirmation, so we dont have to waste our sanity on an object that doesnt exist.

[zenith frigate]

Im just gonna have a quick look

[hexed forge]

Humans are enabled boys

pipping?

[lethal moat]

You didn’t see a thing

[icy onyx]

Any mutations for humans? 👀

[hexed forge]

idk

HT is still downloading for me, didnt check yet

[acoustic osprey]

Ah very good
You guys found it

[hexed forge]

Yeah, Jolly gave us the idea, I Found it, Molotov decyphered it.

[hexed forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Q9lSVC0X8 Orni has a funny video that explains everything shortly.

Or you can just look into the lorecord announcements

[fast forge]

you say that but he did this

[median shuttle]

Isaac welcome back!

[fossil nebula]

real

[acoustic osprey]

thanks

[zenith frigate]

found the stand

[patent ginkgo]

nice

[hexed forge]

Oh niceee, Its in the same area as the camera I assume.

[zenith frigate]

Camera is a distance away

probably got carried by the allo

[acoustic osprey]

Camera is where it should be

[acoustic osprey]

right at the spot of the filming of the trail cam

[median shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/caesar-zeppeli-jojo-gif-26500517

[acoustic osprey]

the stand though

[median shuttle]

u near I12?

[zenith frigate]

the stand the camera are in different places

[hexed forge]

The stand stood up and walked off

[hexed forge]

yep, Going to i12

[fast forge]

tbh is it even that much lore? a camera?

[median shuttle]

Im chilling in there rn lol

[hexed forge]

Ahhaha

[hexed forge]

Its a fun scavenger hunt I guess, it doesnt tie into much lore, it just gave us the confirmation of Allo.

[meager junco]

Ah so this is the other thing, gj

[acoustic osprey]

aye
carried around somewhere

[fast forge]

but he said lore people would eat well...

[zenith frigate]

Unlikely that the stand was moved

[acoustic osprey]

i mean
camera
we solved a puzzle

[acoustic osprey]

Jack
the camera is in the spot of the video

[icy onyx]

New allo lore. Allos are confirmed haters of cameras

[hexed forge]

Im in the base

[zenith frigate]

so is the placement of the stand a mistake

[brazen cradle]

Since when are humans enabled?

[fast forge]

it is known

[acoustic osprey]

likely moved and pushed back

[meager junco]

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-go-t-dothraki-itisknown-khaleesi-gif-5465236

[acoustic osprey]

the main "lore" is the spot of the camera which is on the dirt patch in the video

[zenith frigate]

How would the stand have been moved and not the camera
In the video it shows the allo messing with the camera

[fast forge]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-joke-ranier-wolfcastle-mc-bain-the-simpsons-stand-up-comedy-gif-4372917

[zenith frigate]

maybe its something different

I'm gonna check something when I get home...

AE Field Guide also makes a come back

[naive crane]

[hexed forge]

How the hell did you find that, you have eyes of an eagle.

[acoustic osprey]

there were two instances i found before i slept

https://gyazo.com/93293c16c40a1d21b7b5cb31c732d112
and that

i believe this one is still part of the AE Field Guide
just the bottom of the AE Field Guide text

[meager junco]

Would actually be cool if that camera can be found somewhere online and you can actually see a live server

[acoustic osprey]

something like my old lore idea

[meager junco]

Have you ever thrown that idea in suggestions btw?

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
this is pretty similar

however
not live

[acoustic osprey]

ages ago in lorecord
can't find it lol

[meager junco]

Problem is, it would need to be in a somewhat populated area or very frequented area, ones in bases are generally good since most players take a peak if its in range of them

[lethal moat]

I’d like to see that stand a little closer

[zenith frigate]

No marking or text from what I can see

[lethal moat]

Sadge

[zenith frigate]

I'll have a look in replay mode soon

[meager junco]

Btw is that camera the same model as the others or it’s different (other than the code)

[neon gorge]

i might be right beside you

[zenith frigate]

are you the ptera

[neon gorge]

yes

[acoustic osprey]

we don't really know the model in-game

[zenith frigate]

howdy

[neon gorge]

will scream if danger

[acoustic osprey]

it's likely just the 2nd TCAM we seein the dibble video

[meager junco]

I meant have we done a side to side comparison yet

[acoustic osprey]

in terms of what?

[zenith frigate]

I dehydrated to death lol

[meager junco]

If both camera models are the same, like the ones we can find in perimeter

[acoustic osprey]

which camera models to what in comparison though?

[neon gorge]

the pond was not too far away tho lol

[zenith frigate]

Inside perm has spherical security cameras
This camera looks like a typical box security camera

Looks kinda familiar but I doubt that the type of camera is very important

[neon gorge]

simular but with an antena

[ionic sable]

Time to begin a journey.
@acoustic osprey

[acoustic osprey]

yay

[ionic sable]

Do you have the gridmap on hand?

[acoustic osprey]

[ionic sable]

alr time to cook

[meager junco]

Ah yes these ty I was looking for them but couldn’t find them

[toxic ledge]

what is this map?

[ionic sable]

Alr, I've checked A through I, nothing yet.

[meager junco]

Damn I don’t have a good pic of the dibble cam

[ionic sable]

This is probably a waste of time, but hey, we love wasting time around here

[neon gorge]

wait.. the base locations... OMG

[acoustic osprey]

Grid Base Locations

[toxic ledge]

Bet

[hexed forge]

@median shuttle Idk what the hell happened

Suddenly everyone was shooting so I just started blasting.

I am thoroughly bamboozled.

WAIT

I HAVE AN IDEA

deino?

[median shuttle]

oh wait then it was you who shot me

[acoustic osprey]

https://open.spotify.com/track/6fUDNcmsnnUVyOtEnA9xdC?si=79dccbe45de14f97

[ionic sable]

No, I just gotta sift through my files from a while ago.

Isaac might know where I'm going with this one.

[neon gorge]

im not too far from there but server is gona restart soon

[ionic sable]

Oh my god.

Uh...

[acoustic osprey]

yes

[hexed forge]

You just realized?

[ionic sable]

I may or may not have just cooked.

[median shuttle]

oh dang, you mightve stumbled onto sth

[acoustic osprey]

late bloomer

[hexed forge]

You cooked about 3 months late

[ionic sable]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-glitch-matrix-gif-25245096

[median shuttle]

damn :/

[ionic sable]

Damn.

[neon gorge]

atlantis?

[acoustic osprey]

home

[median shuttle]

poseidon entry mayhaps?

[ionic sable]

Well now I'm sad.

[hexed forge]

oh

We are sorry

[neon gorge]

asset hidden under the map??

[hexed forge]

Are you still doing it?

[ionic sable]

Ye

[hexed forge]

Alright

[ionic sable]

Wait no, that doesn't really line up.

[acoustic osprey]

i'd assume it would be more so a proper base then an entry to Olympus CC

i would reckon though that it would pertain itself with Poseidon entry

[ionic sable]

Even adjusting the angle as close as I can, it doesn't match.

[acoustic osprey]

as an aspect in it

[neon gorge]

i mean K5 is not fully aligned either but close enough

[acoustic osprey]

do note of camera position and camera mm changing perspective

albeit
i imagine the actual level of Gateway having many changed aspects from then to now

[neon gorge]

debug is back

[ionic sable]

No but like

This is the approximate area, that doesn't fit.

[acoustic osprey]

the human server you mean?

[ionic sable]

F5 is way further south.

[hexed forge]

There may have been changes. I wouldnt use the old concept as a 1 on 1 comparison.

[acoustic osprey]

that's limiting the idea it has to be in that area though
that large water base

[lethal moat]

It could be entirely unrelated to the isle

[acoustic osprey]

it's not a channel
he's just putting in all the location names and seeing if a channel pops up

[lethal moat]

Ah

[neon gorge]

what if we have to hit F5

[hexed forge]

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
I want to go to the exact AUGUSTUS video location and search better

but i doubt Don has done that yet

as
there's nothing to really make of it

and i doubt he really got up to it

however
that was really fun

[neon gorge]

i swear some of the camea angles are at I12 but others do not match

[hexed forge]

Its a combo of multiple bases

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

It contains the interior of I12

and the exterior shots are either UNKNOWN
or they match our location for H4

[neon gorge]

camera 29 is one of the enterances of I12

[acoustic osprey]

yes

that be one of the interior shots

that and 23 as well

hard to tell, though, with the two "building interior" shots though

[ionic sable]

Nuthin

[acoustic osprey]

but basically those two base interior shots match I12 1:1

[acoustic osprey]

mmmm

[fast forge]

yes that is the correct location, it connects to the top of that small island in the concept art

[ionic sable]

yeah that's what I mean, F5 doesn't really have any reasonable connection points.

[bleak flint]

love jesus

[ionic sable]

[hexed forge]

yay

[fast forge]

It doesn't make sense and I straight asked Don about it. He said not to worry, it will make sense in time, so I've dropped it entirely

[acoustic osprey]

wish we could've found out in this lore find though

because i have no idea how else it'll translate
unless we have something else being seemingly "recorded" in F5

[fast forge]

It could be something as simple as timeline continuity. AE changed their mapping system after the first decade

idk

[patent ginkgo]

no cause both systems would have been shown in the same video report

[fast forge]

but naming the video GW_F5 does kinda push it in our faces again...

[acoustic osprey]

but then why show that grid map then in the video

[fast forge]

all fair points, this wasn't supposed to be a concrete example

[acoustic osprey]

as if to tell us
there will always be questions

[fast forge]

just saying, if Don says it won't translate, I'll wait

[acoustic osprey]

you always be in the unknown

[neon gorge]

maybe... because the camera was tilted on its side... imagine the grid rotated?

[zenith frigate]

Going frame by frame through the video

[fast forge]

I was about to do that

[acoustic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/479bd1012f0a1f5db451c5fb28911e7e

[fast forge]

Any secret frames? the last vid had the maps and stuff

[hexed forge]

Isaac found something in the frames, AE feild guide.

[acoustic osprey]

nothing of interest besides two AE Field Guide references

[patent ginkgo]

no funny things in the transition unfortunately

[fast forge]

oh?

link?

[acoustic osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1179605042618175488/1228900862395547739/Field_Guide_MEDIA_PLAYER.png?ex=6676e55d&is=667593dd&hm=3f639891165009a8fc74eccb8703ac654621a4e4f692eecf69e969e27bffdca0&

[hexed forge]

I hoped for some allo lore

But we quite literally got no lore.

But on the bright side! The lore hunt was def fun as heck.

[acoustic osprey]

@fast forge

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair though
It was still enjoyable for what it is

[hexed forge]

yep

[acoustic osprey]

and this is likely Don's test

this literally is the first lore aspect being properly in-game

that isn't just worldbuilding

if this isn't his test
I don't know what is

[fast forge]

So what I take from this is that "Replication" is different from "Development"

[acoustic osprey]

i presume development would be an aspect of AE "working on the genome / dna / aspect" whatever such is
and the replication aspect is literally the "creation" (the literal "replication") of such work

[fast forge]

on that second point "replication" might also just refer to putting that genetic code into some sort of genome bank

with the goal of future (or current) replication

[acoustic osprey]

replications, though, were used to describe the non-natural (created/cloned) offspring of AUGUSTUS

but it could be both

[fast forge]

I read this completely differently, replications and natural offspring are different things by my definition

[acoustic osprey]

(non-natural, not natural)

[neon gorge]

i swear there is something under the water like a big mountain thats not shown on the map and the dam sun was making a huge shadow over it

[fast forge]

oh I misread you

[acoustic osprey]

that's ok

[median shuttle]

imagine a AE offshore rig as a structure

[neon gorge]

maybe they are waiting to put it in for when it goes to the main branch. Like did they update the NE river and the volcano lake when it went over

[hallow rover]

I swear that’s the place that Dondi and Punch hinted at the docks being in one of the streams

[acoustic osprey]

opposite side of gateway

https://gyazo.com/49f7373bf2ef0e57af56535a0ea5d9e4

Pixy pointed out it looked like morse at the bottom

https://gyazo.com/50f82b59c28edd7d24c54a8795d9cf72
sadly though

[fast forge]

To me it looks like letters that have been broken up on a vertical axis, like the Tartarus stuff in the dibble vid

[acoustic osprey]

guessed it was so

[fast forge]

I have noticed there are map deformations in areas where the concept map shows a dock

[lethal moat]

Of all the things, f5 and the Tartarus are most confusing to me at the moment

[hexed forge]

EIPs are more confusing to me than Tartarus

[neon gorge]

same. but the dam shadow of the island on the west covered it..

[fast forge]

The little coastal dock in this concept map matches this inlet

[zenith frigate]

So how much should i be looking at the glitches in each of the frames
Because this looks like shipping containers on a coastline

[acoustic osprey]

the island near F5 is actually bigger in that old map as well lol

[lethal moat]

We know very little about Evrima, so I think of it as nothing to be confused about at the moment

[fast forge]

One funny place to me, is this other weird spot on the coast of west access (ignore the red dot)

[robust ether]

[fast forge]

at first I was thinking it is the dock location, but it's too far north

[acoustic osprey]

there's a reason the west is so wild

[fast forge]

I'm excited to see it get the NE Plains treatment

[acoustic osprey]

mmhmm

[valid geyser]

Oh look a red dot

[robust ether]

I honestly can't make much out so really unsure

[zenith frigate]

Actually ignore this
I switched to higher res and its nothing

[fast forge]

in the first video most glitches were just displaced sections of the same frame

I remember wondering about the dot that seems to be on the big southeast island... until I saw the two dots displaced out of the map above it
I feel you

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[zenith frigate]

I think its the same displacement but theres a few frames im gonna take a good look at

[hexed forge]

I blame the Allosaurus

If the allo never existed, we wouldve gotten a smooth dibble report

[uncut condor]

do you change your pfp background everyday?

[lethal moat]

No

[uncut condor]

ok

[hexed forge]

Allo thrash nice

[lethal moat]

Trash

[hexed forge]

But what about vats..

[hexed forge]

NOOOOOO

[zenith frigate]

Gonna throw this in here because it doesnt look like normal displacement

[acoustic osprey]

soon

[hexed forge]

Are those.. bones and skulls.. what the hell is that lmao

[acoustic osprey]

we aren't forgotten
but our hunger has been fed already

[hexed forge]

Indeed- but- What the hell did Jack send up there

[lethal moat]

That was a pretty fun few days

[zenith frigate]

ignore the top part I think thats just grass

The lower section has something that looks like a flashlight

[lethal moat]

I think it’s just inverted colors

[fast forge]

grass and allo face

[median shuttle]

am i crazy or does it look like a gen 1?

[acoustic osprey]

timestamp?

[zenith frigate]

It could just be the grass

[hexed forge]

Oh this is grass?

[zenith frigate]

yes

https://youtu.be/-rVBfUgcCuw?t=1

[vast vector]

now i can't unsee this lol

[zenith frigate]

Probably just grass

[fast forge]

yes

[acoustic osprey]

yeah
that "2nd head" / the right thing looks like an inverted picture

in terms of being flipped upside down inverted

it's partially illuminated due to it being day and in the grass
while in monochrome as well

but it does look like an eyeless cranium of sorts

[hexed forge]

Pardon me but Kissen is about to show us allo stuff, brb

[lethal moat]

You Jolly and Molotov initiated the whole mess up there, I’ll have you know

[hexed forge]

yay

Actually blame Don!!

If he didnt correct my position I probably wouldnt have seen the camera

Especially in the fog,

I remember liking this movie

[acoustic osprey]

it's a very good movie still!!

[hexed forge]

I remember never watching this movie

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/meet-the-robinsons-disney-pixar-gif-3424120

[fast forge]

I worked at a video store when it came out, no one watched it

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/meet-the-robinsons-bowler-hat-gif-24886011

lots of "old Gen Zs" can recall watching this movie
that and/or Over The Hedge and Hoodwinked! (albeit, a bit less on Hoodwinked!)

[lethal moat]

Triple G

https://tenor.com/view/hoodwinked-grandma-funny-grandma-action-gangster-grandma-gif-22528657

[robust ether]

I always think that movie was a fever dream

[fast forge]

also movies at my video store

[acoustic osprey]

and two out of three of those movies had Ben folds do music as well!!

[robust ether]

Who here knows about this tho

[lethal moat]

Monster house was a classic

[fast forge]

my mom loves that movie

[fossil nebula]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lz1O-rUes-s?feature=share lazytown was a good one, this actor was retired gymnast before starting his career on the show

fit the role so well

[acoustic osprey]

lazytown was best

[zenith frigate]

I think theres 2 allos in the video

[acoustic osprey]

Don — Today at 02:50
But again, I'm just doing this for a small test for larger things in the future.
So I feel that unless you're in this particular channel, you don't even know there's something to be found.

skimmed over this
but this is cool to know for us.
I hope the next are still as hard though

[hexed forge]

Yeah I think there is

[lethal moat]

We have gotten a little off track with the conversation

And now we’re back on, sweet

[fast forge]

yes

[fossil nebula]

its message to kids was very simple and straight to the point, eat healthy and dont be lazy

[lethal moat]

Pack hunter time

[zenith frigate]

Hell yeah

[fossil nebula]

omni 8 pack vs pack of 2 allo

[hexed forge]

Fair to say the omnis are doomed.

[fossil nebula]

if that ends up being the case ingame, we need 12 max omni pack

[lethal moat]

Depends how pounce to pin ends up going and allo’s bleed resistance

[fast forge]

I think it's a harder fight for the omnis, if only because 8 players would have to match the coordination of 2

[zenith frigate]

I could see 3-4 omnis bringing an allo down depending on its turning

[lethal moat]

Allo having a slash as an alt attack could be fun

[fossil nebula]

hurt omnis would just need to rotate, highest health attacks next

[zenith frigate]

a duo or trio of allos is gonna be unstoppable no matter how many raptors

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-hard-robbie-rotten-stefan-karl-lazy-town-gif-12379047

[acoustic osprey]

just to sum up our lesson for the NEXT Lore Hunt

at least we know
if want to find lore
we must look at lore first
rather than seek an empty barrel

[lethal moat]

Think before releasing the horde, what were recent developments and what’s been talked about

[acoustic osprey]

and to pass on
we were pretty oblivious to such, likely because we were taken by the fact we knew the papers were removed

[acoustic osprey]

-what has happened in lore recently that may give meaning to potential locations

[lethal moat]

👍

Accuracy through precision, rather than accuracy through vomume

[fast forge]

fwiw I did check the injection site

[acoustic osprey]

as much as i want augustus to have something
i hugely doubt

[lethal moat]

Same

[acoustic osprey]

yes, you guys got close there

[fast forge]

I also considered the nesting site, but dismissed it as unimportant

[acoustic osprey]

of course Don HAD to play with our F5 aspect

we also went to F5 just in case

[hexed forge]

I forced Tiny to go straight out into the ocean

[acoustic osprey]

but no
H15

definitely on the nose

[lethal moat]

I did not, I just completely went over it lol

[hexed forge]

I considered it, but people said they checked it, so I just went "Oh well"

[fast forge]

more like you convinced me, and I figured "eh I'm already in the area"

[hexed forge]

[acoustic osprey]

oh and probably
if the next "thing" happens
and it's an object again

after a day of finding and we find nothing
no ptera

[fast forge]

too far above everything?

[acoustic osprey]

yeah

basically can't do anything at night as well

[lethal moat]

Galli moves to quickly to see small things

[acoustic osprey]

and we basically need eagle eyes

[lethal moat]

Hypsi has a good nv range and is relatively close to the ground

[fast forge]

I think it was partly because Don said it would be obvious, so we figured an object in a new location

[acoustic osprey]

problem is hypsi growth though

[lethal moat]

you can see a little underwater land bridge

[hexed forge]

Oh and also

It's a direct route to the east dome. Wonder if there is a connection there.

[lethal moat]

The little base close to the east dome bridge? Or a potential entrance?

[hexed forge]

Form the volcano bunker there is a direct path leading down to the base. I'm gonna bet that the base will have an entrance into the dome.

Likely

Atleast I think so

[umbral patrol]

Hopefully

[lethal moat]

So I'm doing research into the advantages over monorails over metro rails, and what I'm mostly seeing is that the bigges draw is that it needs the least maintanance, as well as being relatively low profile (at least on ground) and out of the way

low maintenance makes sense, if it crosses a dangerous area

#isle-discussion message
This comment made me think - when you see real dome structures used in a biological setting, they are never constructed primarily to house animals

They are constructed to house plants first, and then animals if that ecosystem is working

My childhood zoo has a big atrium, and it's full of rainforest plants, and then a bunch of birds

This just further pushes me into the logic of domes = plant research

Perhaps with a secondary use after that research is done, or they are just relics in the environment

[lethal moat]

I like it, lets run with that, was Gateway a repurposed botany engineering facility then? And if there are different environments in the dome, were they testing durability for extended periods of time?

[fast forge]

I imagine testing ecosystem stability with engineered species, perhaps like we see with diet plants being non-natives to the jungle habitat

[lethal moat]

I really like that idea

@patent ginkgo Whenever you wake up, can you give your two cents?

[fast forge]

tbh growing colossal redwoods in a tropical climate would be a monumental task, but the domes are actually up to it

Also the real redwoods in the US west are hundreds of years old - AE must have engineered them to grow faster if they are on Gateway (or AE is hundreds of years old, which seems only slightly less likely)

And this makes sense if you are fighting climate change, as old-growth forest is one of the hardest-hit types of forest in the modern era

[lethal moat]

I love this idea

[fast forge]

I was going to say that "redwoods may be the worst old-growth tree to engineer because they require very specific mist-soaked coastal areas to get big", but then I realized that this restriction can just be waved away with genetic engineering

[quiet linden]

me when the gain water from rain mutation kicks in

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[patent ginkgo]

It’s a very nice idea and one that makes a lot of sense, though we do have to keep in mind that AE’s proper botany facility isn’t slated for gateway. In my opinion gateway seems very ecosystem-focused from an operations standpoint, potentially with a focus on EIP R&D

[acoustic osprey]

is that from a Don quote?

[patent ginkgo]

Yeah I can’t find it though

It’s in #isle-discussion from what I remember

[median shuttle]

So the diet Plants are created by AE's botany division right, so maybe the dinosaurs are to study the dietary effects of the plants, probably sth else too since otherwise having carnivores wouldnt make sense

[patent ginkgo]

Perhaps, but then… why dinosaurs?

[valid geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/extra-devious-cats-gif-366731106945118841

[hexed forge]

Riddle me this one

Why plants

[hexed forge]

So basically dinosaurs are the test subjects. I think carnivores were used to also test the strains. Using only herbivores wouldn't get them anywhere.

Or atleast it would help them get more data

[valid geyser]

My memory loses me, did the Augustus video actually take place in some spot in gateway or no

[patent ginkgo]

a mixture of spots across the map and some that arent on the current map

[valid geyser]

Aighty but how about the actual camera that gets assaulted by the Herrera

[patent ginkgo]

i think that one is on the map

I dont think any M-Cams are on the map yet.

[patent ginkgo]

[lethal moat]

I can’t wait for finished oceans

Coral reefs and massive kelp forests

I wonder if Apollo is a company that everybody knows about but never really thinks about

Like CAT

[hexed forge]

Perhaps.

[lethal moat]

CAT manufactures almost every excavator, bulldozer, and backhoe, and its worth $160 billion, but it’s just a background company that people don’t notice

Or BlackRock and Unilever might be better, since they’re massive conglomerates

[tribal osprey]

The idea of an immensely powerful but stealthy corporation scares me to the bone

But it exists, and Apollo could very well be one of them

[uncut condor]

👍

[lethal moat]

Alright

So I wasn’t aware of exactly what BlackRock owns

Did some research, and now I’m spooked

I don’t think AE would be as big as BlackRock

Nvm, did more research, not as bad as I thought, but still

What type of company is the central Apollo conglomerate?

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah, i'm thinking potentially that

[acoustic osprey]

we do know their research is Global
they could be pretty big

allowing for funding for AE
Looking at the size of Perm

[hexed forge]

But if he is talking about another video.

I will be happy

Seiza was working on multiple projects... there is like a.. 5% chance.

[acoustic osprey]

oh yeah, definitely

[lethal moat]

Right, I know Apollo is big, but is it a management firm, a bank that’s taken assets, or an investment firm? How did Apollo get so big?

[hexed forge]

Im working on my second video project.

I want it to be a report on the Gen2s/Humans that retrieved the T-Cam footage in the Dibble T-Cam video.

I have no clue how to format it. Would it be a report similar to AUGUSTUS?
Or should I explore my own custom way.

No idea, Kind of lost. So far just learning and testing features in Davinci.

[acoustic osprey]

Looking at what Don has told us about, currently, I definitely say an aspect of a pretty successful management firm of it's own assets
likely starting off very "entrepreneurial"

unless all of Apollo's (or most of their) subsidiaries were previously named different
and Apollo rebranded to fit the Apollo Style

larger brand name is always a good strategy

[lethal moat]

I would say that’s likely, given real companies already do that

[acoustic osprey]

look at Samsung or Mitsubishi

on the topic of Mitsubishi ACs

[acoustic osprey]

I wouldn't be surprised

heck
they might hold stock on other companies as well

spreading their investments
not too many eggs in one basket

once you're big
you have to get bigger, basically

[lethal moat]

I was thinking a good real example would be Blackwater getting acquired and renamed because of it’s past and how they’re trying to rebrand and cover it up move past it

thank you

i do wonder how diverse Apollo's subsidiaries are though

and if not
how much money to they get from their subsidiaries

[hexed forge]

I imagine it to be millions of Dollars(Or whatever currency AE uses)

[lethal moat]

Waaaay more than that

[acoustic osprey]

^

[lethal moat]

Remember, we estimated Gateway to be at least 10 billion on the low end with what we just see now

[acoustic osprey]

millions would likely be the rough cost to build Perm's exterior, just alone

[lethal moat]

More I would say

[acoustic osprey]

I'd say in the millions lot
potentially just below a billion

i'd see the total cost of Perm to be above a billion though

[hexed forge]

Probably 2-3 companies of Apollo actually make Billions.

The rest will be in the high millions, some maybe low millions.

[lethal moat]

AT&T stadium cost over a billion dollars to build

[acoustic osprey]

You still have to afford staff, men, taxes, standard utilities, etc

[hexed forge]

yes

[lethal moat]

Gateway is a monstrously large investment

[hexed forge]

Dont forget about other islands/facilities.

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair though
that's American cost on American Soil

if we're going on American cost on international soil

[hexed forge]

The hunting reserve island might cost a lot too depending on what the "Wall of nope" is.

[acoustic osprey]

i wouldn't be surprised if they underpaid/(AE)got a better deal

[hexed forge]

Thousand Life contract

[acoustic osprey]

builders, specifically
unsure about that contract

[lethal moat]

I imagine even just the materials to build a structure 1 mile long and several hundred feet tall, freestanding and enclosed, would be billions

[lethal moat]

Not sure about that one

[hexed forge]

Oh builders.

[acoustic osprey]

we could actually probably calculate it

[lethal moat]

Depends on the type of steel, but that sounds like a fun project for a day off

[hexed forge]

If they get underpaid then AE would count as an evil company then, no?

And Don doesnt like AE being seen as evil.

[acoustic osprey]

I mean
in terms of the amount of concrete used

[valid geyser]

Wonder how bad inflation is in the world AE exists in

[acoustic osprey]

for the exterior

[lethal moat]

We can guesstimate

[lethal moat]

Getting underpaid isn’t evil, it’s looking out for your own best interests, besides, we don’t know if they were underpaid

[acoustic osprey]

it's not evil
it's just immoral

but people do it

[robust ether]

I was under the assumption that AE would be similar to Samsung in South Korea just on a global scale.

[lethal moat]

I personally would want something that large to be built by experienced people, because imagine the damage if it collapsed

[hexed forge]

There are laws on minimum wage in most countries. But at the same time..

Does AE even follow laws?
It ofcourse depends which country AE is registered in.

[acoustic osprey]

#isle-lore-theories message
erm!!

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
if AE were perfect. They'd be far more brankrupt and not in the position they'd be in

I imagine
high of the 90s
they'd likely be working off drugs in the execs room
and underpaying whenever able

[robust ether]

i can never have a freakin original thought around here you stinky stinky lore people

[acoustic osprey]

i am your original thought

[hexed forge]

What is Turkey thinking about right now then.

[acoustic osprey]

about how unoriginal Turkey is
(it's a country already)

[lethal moat]

Tbf, all the cool corporate people were doing coke and they didn’t want to feel left out

[robust ether]

https://tenor.com/view/verne-stare-gif-24447130

[acoustic osprey]

horde mentality

[hexed forge]

Oooo....

@robust ether Unoriginal!!

[robust ether]

erm, thats Türkiye 🤓

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah!!

[lethal moat]

Honestly, AE is to genetic engineering as Kel-Tech is to firearms

[acoustic osprey]

See how uncool they've made you look now
they used to be called Turkey
then changed because someone else had their original name

[acoustic osprey]

no idea how they work
so i'm going to agree with you (explain, if you can)

ah, interesting

[lethal moat]

They make the occasional cool thing with a hole lot of “what the heck were they thinking”

[acoustic osprey]

Turkey, when will we have Gen1 Turkey?

[acoustic osprey]

just like AE!

[lethal moat]

Exactly

made a pilgrimage

[acoustic osprey]

i find it funny
I think we have to pilgrimage to it now

I've done it a few times now already

think i have to every time i play

i wonder if it'll stay in the game once the update actually arrives to Evrima

[robust ether]

the sacred lands

[patent ginkgo]

I hope so

[robust ether]

IT BETTER

[acoustic osprey]

I found the stand as well

[robust ether]

it has a stand?

[acoustic osprey]

aye

[robust ether]

i mean that makes sense

[acoustic osprey]

shoved off somewhere else

[robust ether]

can you show it 👉 👈

[robust ether]

THATS SO COOL

i want more lore and i want it now

[valid geyser]

What a lore moment

[acoustic osprey]

yeah!!

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avenger-infinity-war-mad-titan-serious-gif-13675798

yeah
can't believe we had something like this finally happen in The Isle

[patent ginkgo]

I’m hoping we get more of this

[acoustic osprey]

definitely wanna talk about how big of a thing this is for the future on the podcast later today though

[valid geyser]

Yeah I agree

[patent ginkgo]

Gonna be very nice for new players

[acoustic osprey]

oh yes
definitely

iirc
Don talked about more in the channel a few days back
(when we found it, i think)

[patent ginkgo]

Yeah

[zenith frigate]

this was on easy mode apparently

[acoustic osprey]

aye

and honestly it was.
Finding it was hard. But it was quite simple when you look at it (thankfully)

[patent ginkgo]

Hopefully we have a bit more stuff on the lore side of things in the future

[acoustic osprey]

just go to "X" location

[valid geyser]

I think we just very much overthought it in finding it

[patent ginkgo]

We also forgot the “out of game” part

[valid geyser]

Mhmhm

[robust ether]

what

proof

[acoustic osprey]

oh yes
I hope the "reward/thing" we get from such is more lore heavy next time
however, i understand not doing it, this being the first of many. It was kinda a "we're doing this as a test and I don't wanna give some proper lore yet"

[storm condor]

^

[robust ether]

WAIT IN DYSLEXIC NEVER MIND

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT NOW SORRY

[acoustic osprey]

also with aspects like his TLS stuff

and ideas like "turning off the official servers"

[valid geyser]

Did you like
Read that as in there’s more to find right now

[patent ginkgo]

I had forgotten about that

[acoustic osprey]

this
I hope
is an aspect that'll make future Hunts more harder

[hexed forge]

Multiple steps

[acoustic osprey]

they shouldn't be completely random - no meaning to find it; aka, finding it LITERALLY by having to go to "X, Y and Z" because nothing points to "X" location

[patent ginkgo]

Would be rather funny if we have to be a deino on a mountain top for one

[acoustic osprey]

Oh yes
multiple steps in multiple directions

[hexed forge]

Perhaps an object with a riddle on it that dictates a location.

[acoustic osprey]

something a bit quirky but actually takes time to solve is the crab rave easter egg in Battlefield V

[hexed forge]

And then in that location we have to figure out a certain code or smthn.

[acoustic osprey]

I did like how the link on the TCAM was hard to read at day

[hexed forge]

In fog.

[acoustic osprey]

I don't mind some things being presumably "oh we got it"

until you realise
that's just a facade

[patent ginkgo]

A proper geocaching-type hunt would be fun

[acoustic osprey]

in day as well

[hexed forge]

If you were in fog like me you would likely get like 2-3 letters only

[hexed forge]

Oh. It was visible to me in clear day.

but idk

[hexed forge]

GW_U#

[acoustic osprey]

i suppose easier to read if you're baby hypsi height though

[hexed forge]

Gotta find out which number it is.

[acoustic osprey]

to be fair
this was more "geocache"

you know it's in "X" area
you just gotta find it. Due to being small

[patent ginkgo]

I mean in the sense of one thing leading to another

[acoustic osprey]

ah fair

steps and progress
something that would takes weeks to find and tons of community support

[hexed forge]

There are many ways to make hunts more interesting for us

[hybrid wagon]

Honestly the “object” was somewhat less than I expected we didn’t get a whole lot of lore from it

[acoustic osprey]

also not officially announced

[hexed forge]

Same, I expected some lore. But the allo reveal was nice ig.

[acoustic osprey]

the TCAM vid would've been found in minutes/a few hours if it was officially announced
unless such thing you must find is easy to find - but horribly hard to crack

[hybrid wagon]

Mhm

[acoustic osprey]

aye

i suppose the lore nerds feasting aspect was the actual hunt itself

the journey!
over the end result

[hybrid wagon]

Maybe the lore hunt was the friends we made along the way

[patent ginkgo]

Getting a lore vid and then you have to recreate the scene roughly with the species/number/etc present at the time and place to find something would be interesting

[acoustic osprey]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4dt6XKr0xKdPzjFhwB8dBm?si=211398fe2e3448f3

[acoustic osprey]

i understand it'd be hard to do
but it would be so rewarding

[valid geyser]

Hey now

[patent ginkgo]

Perhaps something like, with this video, have an Omniraptor kill a Diablo in the proper area

[hexed forge]

That's Life - 2008 Remastered
Frank Sinatra

yay

[patent ginkgo]

Or an allo eat from a Diablo corpse in the area

[patent ginkgo]

You’re an allstar

[zenith frigate]

Lol I like the idea of having to figure out a code spread across the map and then Dming Dondi the code but if you get it wrong he just bans you from the discord

[patent ginkgo]

[hexed forge]

Entire lore team will get banned.

[acoustic osprey]

it is tradition

[hexed forge]

Anyways gtg now.

Tell me if there is a fence talk or a talk about map locations

[patent ginkgo]

Don, drop lore now that cerato is gone

[lethal moat]

https://tenor.com/view/i-smite-you-gif-26518458

[robust ether]

so fences...

[acoustic osprey]

no

[valid geyser]

So let’s talk about potential future fences

I think they’ll do fence things

Thank you for listening

[acoustic osprey]

we still need east fences to finish

well
specifically that one section where it stops and starts at East plains

[hexed forge]

FENCES?
