olympus transmitter is going insane
I do wonder if the machine is the dinos
but they got meat
Like, not machine but "fabricated"
<-<
These are exciting
its like the matrix is trying to write philosophy
what anomalous event aliens ?
Look to the sky at the right time. The path to gateway has been there all along.
Been there the whole time...
I assume something pops up or fades in
it doesn't have to be an anomalous event.
h
A religious man got a hold of the Olympus transmitter
Cannibals please
us but older and smarter
Gen 1
"We cannot guarantee who you will become when you come out the other side, if you even survive at all."
Come out as what?
š¤
Probs not gen 1, but maybe a completed profile. Or something not that
Echidna in greek mythology is the mother of monsters.
turned to worship.
to worship you must have some degree of intelligence.
They can also communicate
Ayyyy it'd be funny if echidna was hiding on top of the giant atrium that surrounds the map
like have a set language
I am gonna sound biased ish here but
a lack of faith ?
Pretty sure this is about cannibals or tribals
It has to be
After the fifteenth cycle their stories compiled into an archive they handed down through the generations. As their mental plateau deteriorated advanced cognitive functions, only the most basic and violent ideologies remained.
whatever the cannibals were before.
they recorded their origins.
and slowly but surely became more feral as time went by.
@icy onyx
hold on.
this means there is an archive around
with the entire history of these 15 generations
yoooooooo
the transmitter ?
Because I'm confused
The last two messages weren't shoved in #transmissions
I don't think I understand
Is that all we know?
The deterioration of the mind
We've gotten jack shit about the cannibals thus far
cANNIBALS
What did the first two mean?
This seems like the story of tribals or cannibals
Well there ya go.
a story of life, death, rebirth, of people thinking themselves gods and because of this creating the very titans that will spell out their destruction
i have goosebumps
The first generation turned to worship. Results were hindered by the malignant passing down stories of how they came to be. Soon they stopped giving results at all. Echidna considered them all children.
Machines with feelings sounds more like replicator
I think all of these are multiple different things
i wonder to what is whispering back through the keyhole to us
The Echidna one, the deterioration, etc is definitely about the cannibals
dont know about the others
All of this is tantalizingly vague
For sure
Hyped
dekky better get a cinematic as fuck exposition with some tasty dramatic narration in the future
What I'm wondering is if the gateway in the sky thing is a figure of speech or literal
Some of these new transmissions reminds me of the game āThe Forestā
okie
Mmhmm
I feel like we're going to need to figure out which transmissions attach to what
Tbh hope one of the lines we can go down is Echidna-worship/Echidna storyline
i'd wonder if there are multiple stories going on here
the thing about machines having very real feelings and dreams seem to suggest a replicator storyline, with its side or whatever
Is it ever explained what exactly the replicator is?
Some form of automated dinosaur grower?
You ask like it's in the game already
Sorta is, if it's how we come back from death
Assuming it is, it's probably part of the profile system. Specifically the part that gets down and dirty and churns out babies. Among other things we haven't done yet.
I just mean the concept/lore @proper steppe
Because I feel like it's dumb to speculate about theories about something if we don't even have a decent idea what it is
Tribal origins?
Normal people grabbed out and told that if they didn't sacrifice themselves to the experiments their family would die or whatever they valued most would be lost
Then experimented on and overtime get fucked up in the head that makes them into a completely different person with the traits of tribals that we will know of
Don't think it's cannibals because cannibals look heavily genetically modified compared to a normal human and I don't think that would happen unless there were periodically modified until the final result was achieved
Maybe the 15 cycles was the replicator?
Steadily modifying them through 15 generations from normal people into what the cannibals will eventually be
Although it was my assumption that the mother of cannibals was somehow modified with the N strain then spread it to other humans and that's how the cannibals happened
"Look to the sky at the right time. The path to gateway has been there all along."
Sooo do we have to watch the sky (probably ingame) to find out a bit more about tha gateway thing? It sure does look like something to do but idk. Maybe there is a secret message hidden in the sky witch leads us to somewhere or wich tells us some more things to decode ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ would be interesring i'd say
there was a previous transmission about gateway
https://twitter.com/AEOlympusTransm/status/990221495203868674
Still no idea what gateway is really
Seems like we need to make a choice here
Listen to the "do not pass gateway" fella, or go looking for gateway
Maybe the gateway will set something free what we don't really want to be freed. It sounds like it but on the other hand maybe there is something we need to discover so we kinda have to pass gateway. There are so many options that are leading to all kinds of answeres
hm, I noticed there are two layers of stars ingame atm. one is fixed, the other is constantly moving. Maybe at a specific time some stars line up to reveal a clue.
Won't that be a pain
I know
just an idea here
That's what makes it fun, looking through the stars to find the key to a gateway
I assume if there are ingame clues they'll be on V3
Or that could be what Olympus wants you to think, that it shouldn't be literally taken as "Look at the sky for the clue" When it SHOULD be taken seriously
Because thenyaw was stated noncanon and I'd hope we weren't mislead
Hm, i doubt that tbh. the map (V3) is heavily WIP still while Thenyaw at least has some cryptic human buildings and stuff
Just not in the way people think as "look to the sky"
Although mods have also stated that files in the game with chinese text like other hidden lore weren't important when they clearly seemed to be
Do v3 and thenyaw not share the same skybox/texture?
They are confusing us on purpose ^^° sometimes it seems like it at least
i think they do
No clue
I don't think it matters which map you're on
also there“s this one very big and bright star, that looks diffrent from all the others, imo.
let me get a screenshot. It was only glowing in the middle of the night when the moon was at it“s highest point.
Pretty sure that's just the north star, circle
oh is it in already?
I know 90% of people blindly lurk lakes but surely if there was something to be found people would have found it already
thought that“s for navigating.
What if it means the irl sky, like constellations
I think I know the star you're talking about, at least
It's usually near the horizon sorta and is about as bright as a dryo's eye with night vision
Like there's some correlation between the story or stories of constellations and the lore
Perhaps
thought about that too
Constellations are pretty commonly Greek
If you want my opinion, we absolutly need to die to find it
Greek myth has been previously explored
All the transmissions are almost about dying
Me neither. I agree as well
I think we're looking too far into one transmission and not into all of them
also people don“t like dying, so it would make finding the secrets while just trying to survive and playing the game more unlikely
The deathscreens also potentially have a gateway reference as well with the IP address shown
Because it's the gateway portion of an address
inb4 it“s an actual gateway, like that portal that was on the test level for a while.
@analog halo I think it's just the North Star, but idk
I say we go through each of the recent transmissions and come to a consensus about their meaning, just to figure all of this recent lore dropping out
Giant vc when?
I'd be up to listen to you guys talk about it
In the deathscreen it says that a satellite triangulation is required
Same, Fox
@dull falcon do you still update the lore website?
well I'll be in vc talking to myself
If i could i would join the talking but i have to wait untill mailman delivered my mic xd
I say we start with all the transmissions after the injection ones
The injection ones are fluff I agree
I'm just gonna listen then o3o
Including those first two we got a little bit before the others
Two right above the injection ones, they were put out a little earlier than the rest
The lore site has mention of olympus somewhere
So, the first one is: The man you owe cannot collect his debt.
I've heard a bunch of people say this creator might be dead?
But I don't think many transmissions have spoken to us as if we were the dinosaurs, they usually seem like transmissions out to normal people
Agreed it really soulds like talking to a human being
It'd make sense if it were the creator and it's referring to how the mercs might be replicated
"You seek to see an entire world through a keyhole and an entire life through a simple moment.
Do you even know what you're looking for?"
I thought I knew this when it first came, but I'm not so sure anymore
Ahh
I thought it was a clue for us to find more clues instead of the theorycrafting we've been doing in here as of recent
Sort of like how Khorne wanted us to actually find more pieces instead of theory craft
Actually this makes a lot of sense to me o:
what if the "look into the sky" refers to satellites
The next few transmissions were all kinda rapid-fire, right?
First one was "The reality is that everyone has something they are afraid to lose, give anything to protect, and sacrifice everything to get back."
we already have a radio tower so it needs satellites, it's also more close from a gateway than stars and finally the transmission would be less direct, like we're used to
the death screen talks a lot about satellites and we know the transmissions refer to dying
maybe
They're actually posted in the discord in a different order than they are on twitter
Ok
"You must go past limit and reason. See through the door between this world and the next and take back what you've lost."
@icy onyx Iām actually making a new one thatās wayy better lol. Should be done by this weekend
Do they mean the beeping door at the radio tower probably. Idk thats the only door i can think of with that post
how many human buildings are there on the map?
i know of three
2 of them have sattelit dishs on them
Death screen also mention that a satellite triangulation is required. A GPS trilateration measure distances to pinpoint exact positions on Earth.
Maybe someone can get inside somehow when being a human
I think that this connects to the last transmission before this one, with the thing lost being what you'd sacrifice everything for
So could that mean the whole "The reality is-" quote connects to cannibals somehow?
you think the thenyaw map buildings could all connect at one center point?
they all have an antenna
The whole generations thing reminds of some death screens
They mention dinosaur gens, it's strange that cannibals might have gens
I highly doubt there's anything mapped beyond what's visible from the outside but they might in like, story or whatever
I don't think worship is meant to be taken literally
The 15 generations and losing results ones just don't seem to fit to me
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I personally think the Cannibals are part of a cult or religion that was formed after AE left the island
It sounded somehow like the cannibals also don't even know what they exactly are
I think by "turning to worship" it means turning into cannibals, and cannibals listen to echidna?
Rage can twist even the most noble purpose to that of cruelty.
New tweet
And i think they found the tech to merge Dino DNA and Human DNA and discovered a way to use it
The working theory is echidna/the mother of cannibals was a woman that was exposed to the N strain
And then made a cult to test how the tech works on humans
I was actually first
And is sort of a psychic siren potentially
Ah I see
This is just true
And exposed other humans to the strain reducing them to basically savage drones for her bidding
So maybe she was part of AE. Maybe she was unstable and got obsessed with this idea of perfecting human and dinosaur hybrids and found the technology to do so
What if, by worship in the last thing, it means that cannibals follow echidna like she's a god?
They listen to her or whatever
I think the devs really want us to solve the puzzle x)
But what if the cannibals are the dreaded, infamous human/dinosaur hybrid
That's exactly what I'm thinking ^^
I wouldn't be surprised if they're at least submissive to Echidna
She wanted to be worshipped and got obsessed with creating an army of her own
I say we keep going with the past tweets before we try to tackle the new tweet
Maybe she found enlightenment or whatever, and managed to "ascend" without realising the cost of what she had become
"Strip away everything that makes a man and you can rebuild him in any image."
This definitely is referring to cannibals imo
her children, from what the tweets point at, weren't actually as violent as they are rn.
why would she want to make an army if her original children were much different than the current generation ?
"Everything that makes a man" is referring to his morals, "rebuild him in any image" is referring to being turned into a cannibal
Moving on
Ye
Maybe they got their will broken to be shaped the way Echidna wanted them to be
Hasn't it been suggested that cannibals are created by touching neurotenic fuckery?
That gif o:
I think that was how a lot of people thought Echidna made the cannibals
I think her followers got more savage and lost their humanity and personality, which is why they're so aggressive. They could be almost a completely different species from humans and dinos
Maybe that's what Echidna was trying to create
They don't need to be neurotenic if they were brought about by touching neurotenic stuff, and ye
A new ascended species
The first generation turned to worship.
I feel like cannibals are more of an adaptation than a strain
doesn't tell you what they worshipped
I think the neurotenic stuff needs to be inside of them in order for them to be neurotenic
neurotenic material fucks peoples dna up is my estimate
Exactly, could've been anything
There's something for everyone to think about
I think they become a different thing when they're only touching
Maybe it was a machine that was operated by Echidna, that mutated the followers
Heaven
New tweet
And the most loyal, got the most mutations
no, it makes no sense that the mutations were forced on by echidna.
Some religious bastard has control of the Olympus Transmitter and is spewing a bunch of heaven shit
Actually yeah my bad you're right. It would've been her
it may be a fault with her children themselves.
and she just kept thinking of them as children
no matter how mutated they got.
Also, why aren't you people joining the vc? I know some of you are of the talkey variety!
the word machine could also refer to a person who acts with the mechanical efficiency of a machine
scrub
im spewing nonsense so its not anything you're missing out on
Maybe she was blinded by hewr creations
who talks with their voices
š
Now you'll have some fancy orange names to join us
i really do think these are different storylines
The most recent tweet connects to the whole thing about people having shit they'll do everything to protect
I think there's three entire stories here, and we have to match them up
Like the whole ripples leading to one path thing
In my opinion so far
I think there's a replicator thing, a merc origins thing, and a cannibal/tribal thing
YUP ^^^
Nope
That sounds beleivable
I wouldn't consider it mercs origins thing.
No, I don't want to see it
I'm with you on that
Ye
It might just be the cannibals and whatever lead this entire project thing to begin.
so 2 storylines.
nay.
I think this whole thing about having something you'd do anything to protect is relating to how they got the mercs on the island, multidavid
she is the only ''mother'' referenced here.
so at the very least she originated them.
one way or the other.
not necessary herp.
I tihnk it refers about life
They threatened the merc's beloved thingamabops to get them to go on the island
it may refer to a past action.
or to future ones.
in some movies you have people talking about ''how I would give my life to protect him/her''
or how I woulve given
I mean, they're going to make cannibals
so it could work both ways.
I think the door in the sky opens when we die
"Sometimes, right before consciousness slips away, you can see all of them waiting for you." any ideas on this? Maybe one can find a clue just before dying
"We cannot guarantee who you will become when you come out the other side, if you even survive at all."
which story would you say this connects to?
I'm thinking it might be replicator?
Or it could be gateway proper
"What would you give to get them back?" Sounds strange anyone got any ideas for this
I don't think the goal is to make connections between any sort of stories
That might explain the reason the one guy told us not to pass gateway
He got a bad gamble
And ye
Talking about death
hold my beer ill go find out
and look at what happens in a very slow motion
maybe when you connect to the replicator it's like a point of no return because the replicator can force you to stay?
Omg this is stuff to write stories about x.x
That was released on twitter awhile ago, guys
Stan saw it way before you all
Herp I think rn they want us to find the clues in game asap
Looks like it xd
so I would prefer doing theories about how to find it
Dang i wish i was at home already
rather than understanding the lore
You do that, we're gonna analyze
but I'm bad at it š¦
"Look to the sky at the right time. The path to gateway has been there all along."
This sounds religious to me
Makes me think gateway=gateway to heaven
546 will be the number of tweets needed for Dondi to have someone understanding what he means x)
I tihnk it connects with "Sometimes, right before consciousness slips away, you can see all of them waiting for you."
there is something aobut the sky when we die
It's why I've joked about a religious guy getting a hold of the transmitter, a sky gateway sounds like heaven and stuff
I also don't think that the sky gateway is literal
in the death screen, we know something is coming to get us based on our signal
that tweet about the conciousness slipping away might be connected to the various death screens and what infos are on them too. just a thought.
what if they were all watching us fighting and after they select the strongest
that is forced evolution
There are various overlays on the death screen
The sky has changed throughout the game's development, there is no way it has always been here
This also refers to gateway
Probs something in there maybe
That's a thing
Gateway isn't a singular thing and isn't a gateway
it's a facility
or
inb4 the gateways are the bunker esc buildings on thenyaw
gateway could be satellites
Really?
I love the idea of thenyaw being the gateway
Could you find the way the dishes face?
Is there a archive of the screenshots of the console streams?
Electric sheep?
This has to be replicator
I'm sure it refers to someone and not a real machine
a machine can be by definition someone acting like a machine
replicator has a "side", right?
If it has its own "side", it must have opinions
Could be someone that gave up their morality and stuff and acts as if they were a machine yes, but that transmission refering to the replicator seems more likely
can someone explain me what is the replicator
cause you thought about it for so long and I still don't get it
machine sounds to me like the replicator too. we spoke to it some time ago and it clearly had some kind of conciousness and even learning abilities.
Some kind of cloning AI at least partially sentient? machine
Yeah
Ok, that makes some sense
it“s dream could still be to create the perfect organism ^^
Although I feel like it's too early to assume that the replicator is sentient when it could be a person operating it potentially?
Doesn't the replicator have a side that it's on in the console streams?
I think the replicator is a problem gone wrong on our end
fucked up and it kept building onto itself until it started to make shit
xtra sentience
I think I'm actually remembering wrong, it's the console itself that has a side
yes
Does tarterfii have screenshots of all the console streams?
Here it is
The console was in a robot voice the whole way through, perhaps that's the machine dreaming shit?
By "dream" it means a dream as in an ideal
"This is not the world as it is. This is the world as it was. The untouched land will break apart with monoliths of the past until time catches up with itself." New tweet x.x
Sounds somehow like some kind of natural selection
jesus
"The feeling was authentic. Every path lead to here. It is inevitable. Either you die or they do."
This connects to replicator too, I don't want to look at new tweets
can it get more cryptic pls š
That could reinforce the idea that different information is refering to different time frames floof
Hey, jaffad
This gets more and more confusing x.x
We've been going through all the tweets one by one
see if we can strain anything from the last tweets
If it is dinosaurs, what are these monoliths that will get time to catch up to itself?
According to the very reliable documentary Futurama, machines dream about 1's and 0's, and 1's and 0's are the basic building blocks of all computer programs. Therefore I theorize that the replicator is a simulation.
The authentic feeling tweet might be referring to how only one profile will survive
And profiles are players
new transmission btw
"Rage can twist even the most noble purpose to that of cruelty."
No clue what this means
I wasn't paying attention when the rest of you were talking about this
probably the morality of vengence
what if they returned in the past to see dinosaurs and make them evolve to be triifying monsters for when they reach the modern times
Like anger can spur you into trying to "Get an eye for an eye" but that doesn't mean its right
but rage implies some sort of angry feeling towards something.
can“t see that linking with AE itself.
Hasn't it been revealed that human clones are part of the lore, and they came before dinosaurs
Assuming thats true maybe the "noble cause" aka the original purpose of AE was the basic benefits of human cloning, before the company went way off its rails and started making monsters.
possible.
"Sometimes, right before consciousness slips away, you can see all of them waiting for you."
This feller is either religious hoohaa or cannibals
or itĀ“s a simple ingame hint. š
I don't really think it's a literal hint
sometimes, right before you die you can see all your packmates spam inviting you back into the pack
We've look at the words when you die before, haven't we?
lol
i haven“t really, tbh
all very small and cryptic. might be a point to start tho, i feel.
Sounds like a you problem it was a bunch of cryptic stuff
š
They come out in spurts, too
EIP means embryo information profile?
If AE started as human cloning, but went into dark shit from "Rage" what could "Rage" be?
First two came out in spurts, they diarrhea'd out a bunch ,and now they're coming out in a new spurt
A genius finding he could do more than easy human cloning, but being reprimanded for it?
Maybe competition from some random fucking company?
Company competition could be a big part of it actually
sounds plausible to me. maybe they got ripped off by a company that wanted to use their findings for war-based purposes.
or something like that.
This makes me think it was planned out before-hand, too
that could have caused the "rage", yea.
I think that rage was originally phoenix, maybe, but because the PC devs gave a shitty deal now the competition is unnamed
I was thinking it could be more indirect. Like AE starts as beneficial human cloning, but another company starts cloning endangered species or even recently extinct species, and it steals the spotlight AE once had, making AE go into cloning dinosaurs to one up them.
Pretty much a basic economic arms race really
Yeah
I think the things to look for are the sky and death screens, jaffad
Do we have any idea what tartarus is?
That's what everybody is creaming over
What are the "monoliths of the past" in the latest tweet?
but to call it "rage" seems rather odd to me if you assume that background with competition between companies. For me rage is something irrational, personal.
But they're supposed to be destroying the world and making time bullshit
the dinos aren't doing that
Thats true Circle, so maybe the "Rage" is actually within AE's employees
Maybe within AE's creator, as the employees got the blunt end of the stick
But we know nearly nothing about the specific individuals of the company, so š¤·š½
Maybe a someone whoās being forced to do something
There was one picture of the creator, right? Or was that just fanart of Dondi?
And somethings being held over there head of they donāt
Idfk
If*^
I'd honestly say we wait until the transmissions slow down
i don“t recall a pic of the creator was ever shown, no
we don“t even know if it“s a machine, a person or just software.
you can“t say that for certain
If the conflict is specific to AE, I'm willing to bet the Rage originates from an "Odd black sheep" who thinks cloning more than humans would be great, but few agree with them
if you have a good software that learns
Well Iām pretty sure a machine doesnāt
Unless itās like a warmind or something
it could lash out if something it liked or wanted doesn“t happen.
what was that one reddit post dondi referenced a long time ago
or gets destroyed
claiming so and so comicbook artist "is a god"

Well, if one of the main themes about the isle is Evolution, it would make sense for the creator to be something that can keep up with the dreadfully long process, aka an ageless machine.
agreed
This one
I feel as though the theories of cloning people could tie into dons reference of this
this might have been the noble cause
cloning as a way to cure genetic diseases or smth
until, as @zealous basalt said
the competition between the two companies lead to a genetics armsrace
that produced the generation 1 dinosaurs
you know what I mean?
Yeah like, I'd be pretty full of "Rage" if I was doing gamebreaking work with human cloning, and then some bozo company makes a theme park out of Passenger Pigeons and Thylacines and garners more attention than my work.
I'm having trouble getting something cohesive here, but I can see some kind of connection
maybe the program they created to replicate the cloning tests went rough and "raged"?
@zealous basalt I don't think the isle was ever at one point a theme park
We dont have any evidence suggesting that
Never implied that the isle would have started as a theme park though.
For all we know it could have remained a private facility
But with publicly shown video footage of their work
oh nvm, I misinterpreted your message
I gotchu
At the same time tho
the tartarus system could tie into all of this
like the transference of human consiousness into such animals as a way to "further our evolution"??
Kinda like "We're not a theme park like those guys, but thats because we're making bloody Raptors here, not little pigeons"
assuming that the whole thousand life contract thing/end is never, end is never
is a system that transfers conscious beings between bodies after death*
Perhaps thousand life contract refers to the machine.
And someone who has to transfer their consciousness into it to make it function
Yeah, I have nothing concrete here
and most of this is probably wrong
but I was just operating under the assumption that this system was the one responsible for what we would consider "respawning" in a videogame
when in actuality, it has much deeper implications in the lore
I'll just stop myself while I'm ahead
I'm probably way off
oh shite boys
I thought of that as well
Been reading the chat for sometime now but i dont know how to help
It could make some sort of sense though @regal sundial
How do you convince a dinosaur to want what it doesnāt want?
Is it easier to convince a person or an animal?
if you can convince them that the decision you suggested to them.
was in fact their own idea
and their own choice.
Resolved with an affinity complex
The real question is
thus resulting in them following it.
According to google an affinity complex is āattraction; a tendency to seek out or unite with another object or substance.ā
megapackers š
But yes the real question is
What is the difference between what the dinos would normally do
And what they want/make them to do
And what players decide to do
Could it hint to dinos/people wanting to go hypo ? ( since its going to be possible from what i remember? )
its hinting to behavoral control
meaning the minds, the profiles, placed in the dinosaurs are not their own.
which probably represents the players.
since we KNOW profiles are players.
So the players, us, are representative of actual people, or some sort of control system within the game itself?
we are profiles.
Yes but they say the nature of a profile IN a dinosaur is inherently unpredictable
Implying it's the profiles they're trying to control
Or misdirect
Not the dinosaurs themselves
the dinosaurs are simply bodies for the profiles it seems
lol
Lol same
New transmission actually sounds like its hinting to an upcoming fix for distasteful player behavior.
You can't just make players stop megapacking with some fancy rules, but you can change the game to make other strategies more favorable than megapacking.
That's not a bad guess, I'd be happy if that were the case
I don't think the writing would be worth the effort to address player ineptitude, in that regard. It's lore.
I think it's both
Well the also did fluff for dinos getting introduced into survival
So why not fluff for removing stinky behaviour?
But it really feels like it adds up though. It does specficially mention "The unpredictable nature of a profile within the mind of a dinosaur-" which to me seems to be a direct reference to Dondi's biggest difficulty with making dinosaurs playable, which is ensuring that humans controlling dinosaurs act like dinosaurs and not humans.
Not necessarily fluff, it connects the game to the lore more
I think you're trying to dive headfirst into a shallow pond. You gotta look into deeper waters if you hope to fish anything up. Profiles were always a thing. The connection to them being in the creatures/dinosaurs was possible to see, but not concrete until now.
It was always unpredictable.
I think we should wait until the current flood of data is done, so we can look at it all together
Now what's the fun in that? 
So would it be safe to assume that "Profiles" are the players of the game?
at this point, i“d say YES.
100% was basically already confirmed by the console streams
And totally confirmed by that transmission
now the question for me is what expected/wanted behavior is and what the behavior they wanted to prevent is.
yes, exactly.
to stay alive and finish a life cycle and reproduce is the most common and important goal in nature.
Well if you put a profile inside a dinosaur, its because you expect them to be a dinosaur no?
i“d say so.
but that“s just me. Could be completely different intentions behind it
@analog halo my best guess as to what behavior they convinced the subject to want
the want to escape
hm, escape from the island?
Theres no way for dinosaurs to escape the island thou
not atm
Only a small portion of the species could realistically escape
not just the island
So what's the debate on now?
no no no
oh you mean containment?
like we are stuck/trapped in this endless cycle of dying and being reborn, so our main goal is to leave it?
as profiles
Reminds me of that video with the whole "You can't hold a raptor in a closet" and the raptor goes on about a plan to build a suspension bridge to the mainland
I'm talking about escaping the thousand life contract

reach nirvana 
Maybe the goal of profiles is to die
nevermind, it was a dumb thought
Because they're stuck in computer dinosaur purgatory
@analog halo I suppose the most sucessful organism
is one that could escape such a cycle
And what might that be?
Sort of reminds me of the ME reaper cycles
The most successful organism
Why would I know?
Trying to find out how to make robots and organics coexist
I suppose the organism can be any of the consciousnesses on the isle
of those being transferred between (what I assume to be human clones) and dinosaurs
like I was talking about earlier
But then you discuss about escapism, but maybe the dinosaurs weren't meant to remain on the island forever.
What I'm wondering is why they bother putting preassumably human minds into dinosaurs
the thousaind life contract is the lore explaination for respawning
why you can sit down to play this game
spawn as a dinosaur
die
and then spawn as a human
Once all this lore connects and hopefully is included into the game it's going to be noice
The subjects on the island are those trapped within the system
Inb4 people's consciousness is locked in a computer system that is linked with the replication and creation of everything on the island
that prevents thier conciousness from dying
I think a greater thought would be: How are profiles reigned in? Controlled? Collected?
Hm, nice speculation.
You're discussing that tweet then about the idea, right?
the same system responsible for transfering said consciousness between human and dinosaur players every time we "respawn"
Maybe they had willing/unwilling subjects they got from the general populace then matrix podded them
@nimble cape Keep it serious.
Or grew people then succed their minds out
so really the life form supreme
I think one of the goals of the replicator or the console or perhaps the scientists was to create the ultimate life-form
That's the purpose of the strains
is the one that can utilize the multiple bodies it's been trapped within through this deathless system
to escape such a cycle
@cinder atlas I'm right about them discussing the recent tweet right?
All of them, really.
@regal sundial I dont know about that. feels to inside the box
Not any particular one, atm.
I wonder why they would want to put humans inside of dinosaurs, If that is the case.
What's the point?
Im not actually connecting anything with evidence we have
which is a bad way to go off on a tangent
I'm just gonna wait till taterfli complies all previous lore snippits
We could talk about what an "affinity complex" would translate to ingame
Yeah
If we're profiles, and predictable behavior is what is desired out of us.
Then how would the devs go about making us adopt that behavior
By putting you in a controlled secluded area, away from any mainland
and I'm guessing that "Predictable behavior" would mean playing in ways the devs intended the game to be played.
Or by showing you maybe that's how you'll progress
Possibly, like acting realistically and avoiding unrealistic circumstances is rewarded with increased growth rates.
Eh, maybe not
Too lazy to think too hard
yeah thats what i've been thinking about
Hm, then that'd be domesticating something wouldn't it?
For anyone confused and doesn't know how to google
I think the transmission is talking about the first definition for affinity
Fits
Cause if you think about it, if the transmission IS about carebearing/megapacking, affinity would mean having spontaneous sympathy for strangers of your own species over discord friends of different species
Huh, so it's not insisting all around carebearing. Just it'd be in better case to stick with your own species?
Its kinda both ends in a way
Ah.
This definition for complex probably fits for it: a related group of emotionally significant ideas that are completely or partly repressed and that cause psychic conflict leading to abnormal mental states or behavior.
Only definition that necessarily makes semse
"Affinity" makes a lot of sense to me actually
Cause right now you can barely trust anyone ingame, even if they're your own species, half the time they'll kill you because they trust their friends more than you.
Yeah.
And thats an "Unpredictable" behavior considering we're supposed to be animals here.
So you correct that with a complex that makes players sympathetic to their own species and incentivizes inter-species cooperation more.
The tweet under the recent one, "What does a machine dream of?"
Huh, profiles inside of dinosaurs and machines dreaming?
They could also be getting by on convincing working with your own species by breaking that said profile down before hand
I sound like a fucking moron, but this interests me
This is a lot to take in at once
I was asking for more lore though. I guess I got my wish
"Chaos is the surest form of control."
I remember one of the screencaps of the console streams shows one of it's 'outputs' was administrator privileges granted
@icy onyx Completed profile = Matriarch/unknown Patriarch?
I feel like the completed profile will be exempt from the machine or whatever the fuck is cloning things
idk
Some special privileges
Also these coordinates someone asked in the stream
I'm wondering what they pertain to
But how do you complete a profile?
The intricacies of what one can do when you have access to something like the terminal pose an interesting chain of thoughts.
What all could you ask before it cut you off?
I would say a Completed Profile means a Creature they have finished studying. Cause its obvious they created these creatures for a purpose, and possibly when the creature is at a "Completed Profile" they can conclude their studying and use said Creature to fullfill its purpose
whats the terminal again? i forgot š¤·
Creatures aren't profiles, though.
was it the login thing
The driver is.
@quartz sundial Yes
ty
You have to disjoint the being from physicality to grasp the concept of what we know of profiles from the information that we have.
Maybe it's sorta like soma but with less of the stupid random chance of who goes where when you're copied retardedness
But the like, whole concept of getting brain succed
Imagine having a completed profile just gives you developer mode
š
I'm not so sure that they made these creatures for a purpose
well, having dev mode would be neat
you'd be able to access in-game strains n stuff
I know I'm not gonna be the completed profile, I just hope the fella who finishes their profile shares his experience with the rest of us
From the outputs of the console
It makes it out to be a bad idea to cooperate
Or share information
I don't feel like just spelling out the process they went through is going to work.
It practically encourages misleading others?
Because obviously some progress has already been made by players
Why would it matter after they've completed their profile?
There's only one who will be able to complete the profile, once that one is completed there's really nothing stopping them from sharing
I feel like Dondi wants us to find out the lore that if whoever first got a complete profile if they were to not share ANYTHING Dondi would give another person a chance to win
I'd understand not sharing for the race to be the one completed, but once the race is over I'd like to know the lore I'd not known otherwise
But what is completion?
that too
Though the "One Person winning" thing could always end up changing.
With the information that we have and the cycle that some have followed, but not others, in terms of lore characters, which is a path to completion?
Who will be capable and incapable of reaching it?
If it's reachable.
Maybe the "One person winning" is one character in game technically winning. Not a player
You can't always win.
I don't think the victory of this profile is going to matter to the mass population of the player base
I disagree. But we have no grasp on what victory is for this "event," of sorts.
Gotta find a keyhole/gateway. Wonder which map
Thenyaw is the only map on dev branch at least with human structures right now
Like the radio tower
And a couple sheds?
I think it might be wise to be on the pathway before seeking out the door.
what about that AE12 map? maybe that had something
AE-012?
ik
AE-012 I am almost certain will have lore hidden stuff tho
ye

O.o i missed a lot of theorizing the past 2 hours x.x
Half of what the Tweets possibly seemed to be is maybe the studying of Cannibals
Possibly when they first Injected a human with the Neuro Strain
"Look to the sky at the right time. The path to gateway has been there all along."
Anyone tried looking at the stars in the skybox yet?
"Sometimes, right before consciousness slips away, you can see all of them waiting for you."
Either something to do with turning into cannibals or a clue about something in the death screen?
I dont think there would be anything happening in game yet, maybe in the next public update
Someones on
?
whot
Someone logged in
Oh wait really?
how can u tell?
tweitter
Oh just saw it, itās a tweet
š š š
Alright who is it, you better record everything you do
I doubt they can record everything they do if they want to be the completed profile @dull falcon
oh shit
we wait
someone's doing something.
It was said that whoever logged in could change the game
we will find out who eventually.
Well, this is certainly interesting.
What I wonder is if the ARG is just over now?
And what will they change
And how the fuck did they figure this shit out
up to them to tell us if they want to.
inb4 the person who logged in asks for stupid shit
I don't think its over.
Perhaps it is just truly beginning.
Do you think you were even close to logging in taterfi?
Me? Lmao nooo I didnāt do anything
I havenāt even logged into the game for about a month
I'd have figured you'd have been one of the closest
Since you're more or less archiving the lore
Haha I guess. Iām not that smart though. Everything in my website is from other people doing stuff, I just collect it. I did know that dinosaurs were actually manipulated and altered human consciousness inserted into dino bodies lol
It was just a theory though
How did someone use that last burst of tweets before they logged in to log in is what I'm wondering 
If I logged in i'd choose Pachyrhino release

In the flashpoint, all the ripples converge. The purpose of chaos will show itself. You will know why your death is necessary.

The feeling was authentic. Every path lead to here. It is inevitable. Either you die or they do.

We cannot guarantee who you will become when you come out the other side, if you even survive at all.

Strip away everything that makes a man and you can rebuild him in any image.

What does a machine dream of?
Read it in this order...Are people becoming machines? Is Olympus a AI that was human once? Stripped of all things human into a world of logic...hmm
It would explain the un-mechanical way it speaks
And is the reader becoming a machine
hey Khorne, how is Tzeentch?
A little bitch

Or an amalgam of people
Careful, you'll make a Dondi laugh
inside a video game
Nah
BUT WHAT IF
nah
But what if the game lore was all just a distraction. And when you finally beat The Isle its just a Rick Roll
Quit shitposting pls
legitimate theorycrafting
I wonder if the aurora in the skybox is there as more than just fluff
Thanks Aliens
Probably isn't
Its lame and not original, but makes the most sense with mechanics of the game .-.
wasnt meaning to shitpost lmao just brainstorming
But also, the idea of it being a game is a giant middle finger so
Looking at the Radar you get in the Terminal. The Blips if they are possibly locations of other sites that are similar to AE-001 or AE-012. If they are located all over the world, but the Aurora Remains. Could this mean they are doing some large testing with Electrons or Electromagnetism or something along that line to produce the Auroras.
The Radar though definitely has to mean something.
Nah, impossible
Auroras don't happen due to magnetism
they are Solar flares that bounce off the magnetic field
Magnetism does cause Aurora Borealis tho
You'd need to control the sun to make a aurora happen
Is there any Devs on the server though Fox Box
I would advise you consider the Aurora as a indicator our locale
@fossil lily devs can hide their names iirc
No. Might have been woodpecker amience in the redwoods?
o
woodpecker ambience is a thing in redwoods yes
well, about the gunshots, one friend of mine though he heard gunshots when the sound was actually the redwood trees "cracking"
Maybe that got me, cause it sounded like faint bangs and I went "HWAHT" ššš
Probably something like that
Dont be surprised
Just had a friend confirm on Dev 4
Dondi and anthomnia have used guns before in the servers
heard gunshots
usually on some poor sod minding his own business
Can confirm gun shots on dev 4
Shots fired?
Heard banging again
it could be the person who logged in
Definitely wasn't the trees creaking
Idk what they would have gotten access too
Why is Dev Branch so empty
Jurassic, Some chinese guy, BorkDork, someone named Sarah and Someone with the name "A"
What is going on
Possibly the person with A was the one who logged in
Cause they are not on the server anymore
i have a friend on the server rn letting me know if he heard anymore gunshots
so if they stopped, it must be A
Anthomnia?
š
Wouldn't claim surprise
But he also hasn't shown footage with a gun on Isle is a year or something
so I doubt he has random access
Or that much of a jerk to randomly go shoot dino players
Dev 4 is already dead why you guys gotta shoot it up š¦
Well, it would be kinda fun to run around it with a rifle
Idk why, but the thought of using a musket rifle is kinda funny
a little 1800s vs dinos
That was a really cool moment the gun fire and shit, felt like the game is actually alive with the ARG
It happened only moments after I spawned in
Seems to me "A" is the person who was shooting
If we can find this guys steam account and if he is playing isle we may be able to figure out what server he is on
If he is "The one who logged in"
I just hope that person comes forward or we a get clue to who they are, that way we can find out too. But unless we have to discover it for our selves..
I would like login in to keep being secret
as long as the clues between stages aren't all needed at once to get to the next stage, we are fine not knowing who got through.
As long as we can figure out everything that is within it
I prefer finding it by myself then someone telling me how to log in
^
^^
It will be hard as hell to do it alone
