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

hard pecan
#

its like the matrix is trying to write philosophy

raw olive

I have to nearly crash my game to see them

Worth it

sharp frigate
#

What if this anomalous event in the sky permits you to log in? GWseremePeepoThink

#

Whenever it occurs

sweet zephyr
#

what anomalous event aliens ?

sharp frigate
ancient spindle
#

Been there the whole time...

sharp frigate
#

I assume something pops up or fades in

sweet zephyr
#

it doesn't have to be an anomalous event.

sharp frigate
#

h

proper steppe
#

A religious man got a hold of the Olympus transmitter

sweet zephyr
#

Another one.

#

Echidna.

#

monsters.

icy onyx
#

Cannibals please

hearty mulch
#

us but older and smarter

proper steppe
#

Gen 1

icy onyx
#

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

#

Come out as what?

#

šŸ¤”

hearty mulch
#

Probs not gen 1, but maybe a completed profile. Or something not that

sweet zephyr
#

Echidna in greek mythology is the mother of monsters.

#

turned to worship.

#

to worship you must have some degree of intelligence.

half sinew
#

They can also communicate

hearty mulch
#

Ayyyy it'd be funny if echidna was hiding on top of the giant atrium that surrounds the map

half sinew
#

like have a set language

sweet zephyr
#

hm.

#

soon they stopped giving results at all.

icy onyx
#

I am gonna sound biased ish here but

sweet zephyr
#

a lack of faith ?

icy onyx
#

Pretty sure this is about cannibals or tribals

sweet zephyr
#

or a decrease in intelligence.

#

aye.

icy onyx
#

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.

sweet zephyr
#

yes this last one confirmed it

#

it is the cannibals.

icy onyx
#

YES

#

something I can be hyped about

sweet zephyr
#

whatever the cannibals were before.

#

they recorded their origins.

#

and slowly but surely became more feral as time went by.

icy onyx
#

@icy onyx

sweet zephyr
#

hold on.

#

this means there is an archive around

#

with the entire history of these 15 generations

ancient spindle
#

What?

#

Where did any of this get derived from?

icy onyx
#

yoooooooo

sweet zephyr
#

the transmitter ?

ancient spindle
#

Because I'm confused

hearty mulch
ancient spindle
#

Oh lol

#

Yeah just saw those

proper steppe
#

I don't think I understand

hard pecan
#

i keep getting teased with lore

#

its infuriating

#

I WANT TO KNOWWW

icy onyx
#

@proper steppe the transmissions are most likely about cannibals

#

Echidna, her children

proper steppe
#

Is that all we know?

icy onyx
#

The deterioration of the mind

hearty mulch
#

We've gotten jack shit about the cannibals thus far

raw olive
#

cANNIBALS

proper steppe
#

What did the first two mean?

raw olive
#

This seems like the story of tribals or cannibals

muted steppe
#

Well there ya go.

hard pecan
#

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

muted steppe
proper steppe
#

Machines with feelings sounds more like replicator

#

I think all of these are multiple different things

hearty mulch
#

i wonder to what is whispering back through the keyhole to us

icy onyx
#

The Echidna one, the deterioration, etc is definitely about the cannibals

#

dont know about the others

regal sundial
#

All of this is tantalizingly vague

sharp frigate
#

Yeah I've got no clue

#

I know the last 2 are probably about the tribals/cannibals

ancient spindle
#

For sure

icy onyx
#

Hyped

hard pecan
#

dekky better get a cinematic as fuck exposition with some tasty dramatic narration in the future

pastel path
#

what the hell

#

so they got more aggressive as the generations went down

icy onyx
#

seems like it

#

im guessing the cannibal is the final generation

regal sundial
#

What I'm wondering is if the gateway in the sky thing is a figure of speech or literal

verbal ember
#

Some of these new transmissions reminds me of the game ā€œThe Forestā€

sharp frigate
#

Yes

#

ā¤

icy onyx
#

aliens you should join me and bruces call

#

we're theorizing

sharp frigate
#

okie

pastel path
#

Mmhmm

proper steppe
#

I feel like we're going to need to figure out which transmissions attach to what

hearty mulch
#

Tbh hope one of the lines we can go down is Echidna-worship/Echidna storyline

pastel path
#

Lol we have our theory section aswell

#

we diving in

#

okay boys

#

We will study

proper steppe
#

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

regal sundial
#

Is it ever explained what exactly the replicator is?

#

Some form of automated dinosaur grower?

proper steppe
#

You ask like it's in the game already

hearty mulch
#

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.

regal sundial
#

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

nimble cape
#

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

regal sundial
#

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

hearty bramble
#

"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_(惄)_/ĀÆ would be interesring i'd say

willow dirge
regal sundial
#

Still no idea what gateway is really

proper steppe
#

Seems like we need to make a choice here

#

Listen to the "do not pass gateway" fella, or go looking for gateway

hearty bramble
#

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

analog halo
#

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.

upper lagoon
#

Won't that be a pain

analog halo
#

well it“s supposed to be difficult

#

šŸ˜‰

upper lagoon
#

I know

analog halo
#

just an idea here

upper lagoon
#

That's what makes it fun, looking through the stars to find the key to a gateway

regal sundial
#

Maybe but the "look to the sky" seems almost too simple taken literally

#

Heh

analog halo
#

yee

#

true

regal sundial
#

I assume if there are ingame clues they'll be on V3

upper lagoon
#

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

regal sundial
#

Because thenyaw was stated noncanon and I'd hope we weren't mislead

analog halo
#

Hm, i doubt that tbh. the map (V3) is heavily WIP still while Thenyaw at least has some cryptic human buildings and stuff

upper lagoon
#

Just not in the way people think as "look to the sky"

regal sundial
#

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

analog halo
#

so much to take in mind šŸ˜„ so many possible clues šŸ˜„

#

oof

proper steppe
#

Do v3 and thenyaw not share the same skybox/texture?

hearty bramble
#

They are confusing us on purpose ^^° sometimes it seems like it at least

analog halo
#

i think they do

regal sundial
#

No clue

proper steppe
#

I don't think it matters which map you're on

analog halo
#

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.

proper steppe
#

Pretty sure that's just the north star, circle

analog halo
#

oh is it in already?

regal sundial
#

I know 90% of people blindly lurk lakes but surely if there was something to be found people would have found it already

analog halo
#

thought that“s for navigating.

regal sundial
#

What if it means the irl sky, like constellations

proper steppe
#

I think I know the star you're talking about, at least

analog halo
proper steppe
#

It's usually near the horizon sorta and is about as bright as a dryo's eye with night vision

analog halo
#

hm

#

yee, could be nothin

regal sundial
#

Like there's some correlation between the story or stories of constellations and the lore

#

Perhaps

analog halo
#

thought about that too

proper steppe
#

Constellations are pretty commonly Greek

sinful wraith
#

If you want my opinion, we absolutly need to die to find it

proper steppe
#

Greek myth has been previously explored

sinful wraith
#

All the transmissions are almost about dying

analog halo
#

idk much about constellations of stars tho ^^

#

yee, agreed

regal sundial
#

Me neither. I agree as well

proper steppe
#

I think we're looking too far into one transmission and not into all of them

analog halo
#

also people don“t like dying, so it would make finding the secrets while just trying to survive and playing the game more unlikely

regal sundial
#

The deathscreens also potentially have a gateway reference as well with the IP address shown

#

Because it's the gateway portion of an address

analog halo
#

inb4 it“s an actual gateway, like that portal that was on the test level for a while.

icy onyx
#

@analog halo I think it's just the North Star, but idk

proper steppe
#

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

analog halo
#

I“m down for that

#

tbh

#

let me get some food and drinks ^^

icy onyx
#

Giant vc when?

proper steppe
#

I'd be up to listen to you guys talk about it

sinful wraith
#

In the deathscreen it says that a satellite triangulation is required

regal sundial
#

I think this recent dump has two/three main threads

#

Cannibals

proper steppe
#

Same, Fox

regal sundial
#

Replicator

#

Gateway

#

Also taunt us with out lack of knowledge

icy onyx
#

@dull falcon do you still update the lore website?

#

well I'll be in vc talking to myself

hearty bramble
#

If i could i would join the talking but i have to wait untill mailman delivered my mic xd

proper steppe
#

I say we start with all the transmissions after the injection ones

regal sundial
#

The injection ones are fluff I agree

hearty bramble
#

I'm just gonna listen then o3o

proper steppe
#

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

regal sundial
#

The lore site has mention of olympus somewhere

proper steppe
#

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

hearty bramble
#

Agreed it really soulds like talking to a human being

proper steppe
#

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

hearty bramble
#

Actually this makes a lot of sense to me o:

proper steppe
#

He hasn't what?

#

Oh

#

Ok

#

we can ask him his thoughts some time later

sinful wraith
#

what if the "look into the sky" refers to satellites

proper steppe
#

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."

sinful wraith
#

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

proper steppe
#

Yeah, you might be right

#

That could be the reason why the mercs are on the island

sinful wraith
#

the death screen talks a lot about satellites and we know the transmissions refer to dying

proper steppe
#

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."

dull falcon
#

@icy onyx I’m actually making a new one that’s wayy better lol. Should be done by this weekend

proper steppe
#

This seems like it connects to the last transmission

#

yeah

hearty bramble
#

Do they mean the beeping door at the radio tower probably. Idk thats the only door i can think of with that post

analog halo
#

how many human buildings are there on the map?

#

i know of three

#

2 of them have sattelit dishs on them

sinful wraith
hearty bramble
#

Maybe someone can get inside somehow when being a human

proper steppe
#

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?

sinful wraith
#

you think the thenyaw map buildings could all connect at one center point?

#

they all have an antenna

proper steppe
#

The whole generations thing reminds of some death screens

#

They mention dinosaur gens, it's strange that cannibals might have gens

regal sundial
#

I highly doubt there's anything mapped beyond what's visible from the outside but they might in like, story or whatever

proper steppe
#

I don't think worship is meant to be taken literally

regal sundial
#

The 15 generations and losing results ones just don't seem to fit to me

earnest glade
#

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

hearty bramble
#

It sounded somehow like the cannibals also don't even know what they exactly are

proper steppe
#

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

earnest glade
#

And i think they found the tech to merge Dino DNA and Human DNA and discovered a way to use it

icy onyx
regal sundial
#

The working theory is echidna/the mother of cannibals was a woman that was exposed to the N strain

earnest glade
#

And then made a cult to test how the tech works on humans

proper steppe
#

I was actually first

regal sundial
#

And is sort of a psychic siren potentially

earnest glade
#

Ah I see

proper steppe
#

This is just true

regal sundial
#

And exposed other humans to the strain reducing them to basically savage drones for her bidding

earnest glade
#

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

proper steppe
#

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

sinful wraith
#

I think the devs really want us to solve the puzzle x)

regal sundial
#

But what if the cannibals are the dreaded, infamous human/dinosaur hybrid

earnest glade
#

That's exactly what I'm thinking ^^

proper steppe
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they're at least submissive to Echidna

earnest glade
#

She wanted to be worshipped and got obsessed with creating an army of her own

proper steppe
#

I say we keep going with the past tweets before we try to tackle the new tweet

earnest glade
#

Maybe she found enlightenment or whatever, and managed to "ascend" without realising the cost of what she had become

proper steppe
#

"Strip away everything that makes a man and you can rebuild him in any image."
This definitely is referring to cannibals imo

sweet zephyr
#

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 ?

proper steppe
#

"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

hearty bramble
#

Maybe they got their will broken to be shaped the way Echidna wanted them to be

proper steppe
#

Hasn't it been suggested that cannibals are created by touching neurotenic fuckery?

analog halo
#

donĀ“t do this dondi šŸ˜„

#

we“re trying

hearty bramble
#

That gif o:

proper steppe
#

I think that was how a lot of people thought Echidna made the cannibals

earnest glade
#

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

proper steppe
#

They don't need to be neurotenic if they were brought about by touching neurotenic stuff, and ye

earnest glade
#

A new ascended species

sweet zephyr
#

The first generation turned to worship.

icy onyx
#

I feel like cannibals are more of an adaptation than a strain

sweet zephyr
#

doesn't tell you what they worshipped

proper steppe
#

I think the neurotenic stuff needs to be inside of them in order for them to be neurotenic

median hornet
#

neurotenic material fucks peoples dna up is my estimate

earnest glade
#

Exactly, could've been anything

upper lagoon
#

There's something for everyone to think about

proper steppe
#

I think they become a different thing when they're only touching

earnest glade
#

Maybe it was a machine that was operated by Echidna, that mutated the followers

proper steppe
#

Heaven

icy onyx
#

New tweet

earnest glade
#

And the most loyal, got the most mutations

sweet zephyr
#

no, it makes no sense that the mutations were forced on by echidna.

proper steppe
#

Some religious bastard has control of the Olympus Transmitter and is spewing a bunch of heaven shit

earnest glade
#

Actually yeah my bad you're right. It would've been her

sweet zephyr
#

it may be a fault with her children themselves.

#

and she just kept thinking of them as children

#

no matter how mutated they got.

proper steppe
#

Also, why aren't you people joining the vc? I know some of you are of the talkey variety!

sweet zephyr
#

I didn't notice you were in a VC lel

#

ill hop in soon

sinful wraith
#

the word machine could also refer to a person who acts with the mechanical efficiency of a machine

median hornet
#

scrub

icy onyx
#

im spewing nonsense so its not anything you're missing out on

earnest glade
#

Maybe she was blinded by hewr creations

median hornet
#

who talks with their voices

proper steppe
#

šŸ‘

#

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

earnest glade
#

YUP ^^^

proper steppe
#

Nope

earnest glade
#

That sounds beleivable

sweet zephyr
#

I wouldn't consider it mercs origins thing.

proper steppe
#

No, I don't want to see it

earnest glade
#

I'm with you on that

proper steppe
#

Ye

sweet zephyr
#

It might just be the cannibals and whatever lead this entire project thing to begin.

#

so 2 storylines.

earnest glade
#

Maybe it was Echidna's team

#

Maybe they're the original cannibals

sweet zephyr
#

nay.

proper steppe
#

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

sweet zephyr
#

she is the only ''mother'' referenced here.

#

so at the very least she originated them.

#

one way or the other.

#

not necessary herp.

sinful wraith
#

I tihnk it refers about life

proper steppe
#

They threatened the merc's beloved thingamabops to get them to go on the island

sweet zephyr
#

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

proper steppe
#

I mean, they're going to make cannibals

sweet zephyr
#

so it could work both ways.

sinful wraith
#

I think the door in the sky opens when we die

hearty bramble
#

"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

proper steppe
#

"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

hearty bramble
#

"What would you give to get them back?" Sounds strange anyone got any ideas for this

sinful wraith
#

I don't think the goal is to make connections between any sort of stories

proper steppe
#

That might explain the reason the one guy told us not to pass gateway

#

He got a bad gamble

#

And ye

sinful wraith
#

new transmissions btw

#

dondi is having fun

proper steppe
#

ffs

#

Maybe

#

The gateway is the point of no return?

sinful wraith
#

ok guys

#

we really need to die

hard pecan
#

Talking about death

sweet zephyr
#

hold my beer ill go find out

sinful wraith
#

and look at what happens in a very slow motion

grave dove
#

oop

#

another one

#

that sounds really creepy

proper steppe
#

maybe when you connect to the replicator it's like a point of no return because the replicator can force you to stay?

hearty bramble
#

Omg this is stuff to write stories about x.x

grave dove
#

a tribal slowly losing his mind and turning into a cannibal

#

jesus

proper steppe
#

That was released on twitter awhile ago, guys
Stan saw it way before you all

sinful wraith
#

Herp I think rn they want us to find the clues in game asap

hearty bramble
#

Looks like it xd

sinful wraith
#

so I would prefer doing theories about how to find it

hearty bramble
#

Dang i wish i was at home already

sinful wraith
#

rather than understanding the lore

proper steppe
#

You do that, we're gonna analyze

sinful wraith
#

but I'm bad at it 😦

proper steppe
#

"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

sinful wraith
#

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

proper steppe
#

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

sinful wraith
#

in the death screen, we know something is coming to get us based on our signal

analog halo
#

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.

sinful wraith
#

what if they were all watching us fighting and after they select the strongest

#

that is forced evolution

earnest glade
#

There are various overlays on the death screen

proper steppe
#

The sky has changed throughout the game's development, there is no way it has always been here

sinful wraith
#

that take the strongest and boost him with modified dna

#

and start again

earnest glade
#

Probs something in there maybe

regal sundial
#

That image makes gateway facilities out to be something

#

Real

#

And physical

proper steppe
#

That's a thing

#

Gateway isn't a singular thing and isn't a gateway

#

it's a facility

#

or

icy onyx
#

inb4 the gateways are the bunker esc buildings on thenyaw

proper steppe
#

gateway need a boatload of facilities

#

Ye, inb4 thenyaw is gateway

sinful wraith
#

gateway could be satellites

proper steppe
#

Really?

sinful wraith
#

I love the idea of thenyaw being the gateway

proper steppe
#

Could you find the way the dishes face?

regal sundial
#

Is there a archive of the screenshots of the console streams?

proper steppe
#

Ok, we need allo boy's help

#

"What does a machine dream of?"

regal sundial
#

Electric sheep?

proper steppe
#

This has to be replicator

sinful wraith
#

I'm sure it refers to someone and not a real machine

#

a machine can be by definition someone acting like a machine

proper steppe
#

replicator has a "side", right?

sinful wraith
#

and we know the mental health has decay over generation

#

thus they became machines

proper steppe
#

If it has its own "side", it must have opinions

regal sundial
#

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

sinful wraith
#

can someone explain me what is the replicator

#

cause you thought about it for so long and I still don't get it

analog halo
#

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.

proper steppe
#

Yes

#

I don't follow

regal sundial
#

Some kind of cloning AI at least partially sentient? machine

proper steppe
#

Yeah

regal sundial
#

That churns out dinosaurs

#

And oversees data collection and experimentation

proper steppe
#

Ok, that makes some sense

analog halo
#

it“s dream could still be to create the perfect organism ^^

regal sundial
#

Although I feel like it's too early to assume that the replicator is sentient when it could be a person operating it potentially?

proper steppe
#

Doesn't the replicator have a side that it's on in the console streams?

median hornet
#

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

proper steppe
#

I think I'm actually remembering wrong, it's the console itself that has a side

analog halo
#

yes

regal sundial
#

Does tarterfii have screenshots of all the console streams?

proper steppe
#

The console was in a robot voice the whole way through, perhaps that's the machine dreaming shit?

analog halo
#

thought so too

#

and now it thinks about stuff way deeper then intended.

proper steppe
#

By "dream" it means a dream as in an ideal

hearty bramble
#

"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

analog halo
#

jesus

proper steppe
#

"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

analog halo
#

can it get more cryptic pls šŸ˜›

regal sundial
#

That could reinforce the idea that different information is refering to different time frames floof

proper steppe
#

Hey, jaffad

hearty bramble
#

This gets more and more confusing x.x

proper steppe
#

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?

regal sundial
#

The strain progenitors?

#

Collosus

#

Echidna

#

And the unamed(?) tisso one

proper steppe
#

They're monoliths of the past, though

#

Oh, yeah

zealous basalt
#

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.

proper steppe
#

The authentic feeling tweet might be referring to how only one profile will survive

regal sundial
#

And profiles are players

sinful wraith
#

new transmission btw

proper steppe
#

"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

zealous basalt
#

probably the morality of vengence

sinful wraith
#

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

zealous basalt
#

Like anger can spur you into trying to "Get an eye for an eye" but that doesn't mean its right

proper steppe
#

Yeah

#

AE had a noble cause at first, now it doesn't

#

it's cruel

analog halo
#

but rage implies some sort of angry feeling towards something.

#

can“t see that linking with AE itself.

zealous basalt
#

Hasn't it been revealed that human clones are part of the lore, and they came before dinosaurs

proper steppe
#

Maybe

#

Phoenix corporation? Question mark?

zealous basalt
#

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.

analog halo
#

possible.

proper steppe
#

"Sometimes, right before consciousness slips away, you can see all of them waiting for you."
This feller is either religious hoohaa or cannibals

analog halo
#

or itĀ“s a simple ingame hint. šŸ˜„

proper steppe
#

I don't really think it's a literal hint

zealous basalt
#

sometimes, right before you die you can see all your packmates spam inviting you back into the pack

proper steppe
#

We've look at the words when you die before, haven't we?

analog halo
#

lol

#

i haven“t really, tbh

#

all very small and cryptic. might be a point to start tho, i feel.

proper steppe
#

Sounds like a you problem it was a bunch of cryptic stuff

analog halo
#

šŸ˜›

zealous basalt
#

hmmm so

#

making some more assumptions here to build off my original idea.

proper steppe
#

They come out in spurts, too

regal sundial
#

EIP means embryo information profile?

zealous basalt
#

If AE started as human cloning, but went into dark shit from "Rage" what could "Rage" be?

proper steppe
#

First two came out in spurts, they diarrhea'd out a bunch ,and now they're coming out in a new spurt

zealous basalt
#

A genius finding he could do more than easy human cloning, but being reprimanded for it?

proper steppe
#

Maybe competition from some random fucking company?

zealous basalt
#

Company competition could be a big part of it actually

analog halo
#

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.

proper steppe
#

This makes me think it was planned out before-hand, too

analog halo
#

that could have caused the "rage", yea.

proper steppe
#

I think that rage was originally phoenix, maybe, but because the PC devs gave a shitty deal now the competition is unnamed

zealous basalt
#

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

proper steppe
#

Yeah

icy onyx
#

ooooo

#

that would make a lot of sense actually

proper steppe
#

I think the things to look for are the sky and death screens, jaffad

regal sundial
#

Do we have any idea what tartarus is?

proper steppe
#

That's what everybody is creaming over

#

What are the "monoliths of the past" in the latest tweet?

analog halo
#

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.

proper steppe
#

But they're supposed to be destroying the world and making time bullshit

#

the dinos aren't doing that

zealous basalt
#

Thats true Circle, so maybe the "Rage" is actually within AE's employees

analog halo
#

or a specific individual

#

that had all it“s hopes up

#

and got crushed

proper steppe
#

Maybe within AE's creator, as the employees got the blunt end of the stick

zealous basalt
#

But we know nearly nothing about the specific individuals of the company, so šŸ¤·šŸ½

dull basalt
#

Maybe a someone who’s being forced to do something

proper steppe
#

There was one picture of the creator, right? Or was that just fanart of Dondi?

dull basalt
#

And somethings being held over there head of they don’t

proper steppe
#

Idfk

dull basalt
#

If*^

proper steppe
#

I'd honestly say we wait until the transmissions slow down

analog halo
#

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.

dull basalt
#

Well the first and last one don’t experience rage

#

It would have to be a person

analog halo
#

you can“t say that for certain

zealous basalt
#

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

analog halo
#

if you have a good software that learns

dull basalt
#

Well I’m pretty sure a machine doesn’t

#

Unless it’s like a warmind or something

analog halo
#

it could lash out if something it liked or wanted doesn“t happen.

icy onyx
#

what was that one reddit post dondi referenced a long time ago

analog halo
#

or gets destroyed

icy onyx
#

claiming so and so comicbook artist "is a god"

grave dove
zealous basalt
#

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.

analog halo
#

agreed

icy onyx
#

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?

zealous basalt
#

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.

icy onyx
#

I'm having trouble getting something cohesive here, but I can see some kind of connection

analog halo
#

maybe the program they created to replicate the cloning tests went rough and "raged"?

icy onyx
#

@zealous basalt I don't think the isle was ever at one point a theme park

#

We dont have any evidence suggesting that

zealous basalt
#

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

icy onyx
#

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"??

zealous basalt
#

Kinda like "We're not a theme park like those guys, but thats because we're making bloody Raptors here, not little pigeons"

icy onyx
#

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*

zealous basalt
#

Perhaps thousand life contract refers to the machine.

#

And someone who has to transfer their consciousness into it to make it function

icy onyx
#

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

sweet zephyr
#

oh shite boys

regal sundial
#

Maybe they're putting people minds into dinosaurs?

thick stream
#

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

vital tree
#

How do you convince a dinosaur to want what it doesn’t want?

sweet zephyr
#

with the power of the mind.

#

it is a lot easier to get someone to do something

thick stream
#

Is it easier to convince a person or an animal?

sweet zephyr
#

if you can convince them that the decision you suggested to them.

#

was in fact their own idea

#

and their own choice.

vital tree
#

Resolved with an affinity complex

sweet zephyr
#

aye.

#

they made them think these ''decisions'' were their own.

regal sundial
#

The real question is

sweet zephyr
#

thus resulting in them following it.

vital tree
#

According to google an affinity complex is ā€œattraction; a tendency to seek out or unite with another object or substance.ā€

regal sundial
#

megapackers šŸ‘€

#

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

vital tree
#

And what players decide to do

thick stream
#

Could it hint to dinos/people wanting to go hypo ? ( since its going to be possible from what i remember? )

sweet zephyr
#

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.

vital tree
#

So the players, us, are representative of actual people, or some sort of control system within the game itself?

sweet zephyr
#

we are profiles.

regal sundial
#

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

sweet zephyr
#

the dinosaurs are simply bodies for the profiles it seems

cinder atlas
#

A man can be remade in any image.

#

Oh how I love progress with these things.

sweet zephyr
#

lol

hearty bramble
#

Lol same

zealous basalt
#

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.

regal sundial
#

That's not a bad guess, I'd be happy if that were the case

cinder atlas
#

I don't think the writing would be worth the effort to address player ineptitude, in that regard. It's lore.

proper steppe
#

I think it's both

regal sundial
#

Well the also did fluff for dinos getting introduced into survival

#

So why not fluff for removing stinky behaviour?

zealous basalt
#

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.

proper steppe
#

Not necessarily fluff, it connects the game to the lore more

cinder atlas
#

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.

proper steppe
#

I think we should wait until the current flood of data is done, so we can look at it all together

cinder atlas
#

Now what's the fun in that? grin

zealous basalt
#

So would it be safe to assume that "Profiles" are the players of the game?

analog halo
#

at this point, i“d say YES.

regal sundial
#

100% was basically already confirmed by the console streams

#

And totally confirmed by that transmission

analog halo
#

now the question for me is what expected/wanted behavior is and what the behavior they wanted to prevent is.

cinder atlas
#

And why?

#

What's the goal, is a good thing to think about.

#

Or is there one?

analog halo
#

yes, exactly.

#

to stay alive and finish a life cycle and reproduce is the most common and important goal in nature.

zealous basalt
#

Well if you put a profile inside a dinosaur, its because you expect them to be a dinosaur no?

analog halo
#

i“d say so.

#

but that“s just me. Could be completely different intentions behind it

icy onyx
#

@analog halo my best guess as to what behavior they convinced the subject to want

#

the want to escape

analog halo
#

hm, escape from the island?

icy onyx
#

refine the subjects in that sense

#

escape from tartarus I suppose

#

escape the cycle

zealous basalt
#

Theres no way for dinosaurs to escape the island thou

icy onyx
#

not atm

zealous basalt
#

Only a small portion of the species could realistically escape

icy onyx
#

not just the island

harsh oasis
#

So what's the debate on now?

icy onyx
#

no no no

zealous basalt
#

oh you mean containment?

analog halo
#

like we are stuck/trapped in this endless cycle of dying and being reborn, so our main goal is to leave it?

#

as profiles

regal sundial
#

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

icy onyx
#

I'm talking about escaping the thousand life contract

regal sundial
zealous basalt
#

reach nirvana Don4Rage

regal sundial
#

Maybe the goal of profiles is to die

icy onyx
#

nevermind, it was a dumb thought

regal sundial
#

Because they're stuck in computer dinosaur purgatory

analog halo
#

no, it“s not dumb, i think.

#

it“s weird

#

but this games lore is weird too.

icy onyx
#

@analog halo I suppose the most sucessful organism

#

is one that could escape such a cycle

harsh oasis
#

And what might that be?

regal sundial
#

Sort of reminds me of the ME reaper cycles

harsh oasis
#

The most successful organism

icy onyx
#

Why would I know?

regal sundial
#

Trying to find out how to make robots and organics coexist

harsh oasis
#

You shouldn't know

#

you should speculate

icy onyx
#

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

harsh oasis
#

But then you discuss about escapism, but maybe the dinosaurs weren't meant to remain on the island forever.

regal sundial
#

What I'm wondering is why they bother putting preassumably human minds into dinosaurs

icy onyx
#

the thousaind life contract is the lore explaination for respawning

nimble cape
#

patiently waits for everyone to solve it for me

#

Hurhur

icy onyx
#

why you can sit down to play this game

#

spawn as a dinosaur

#

die

#

and then spawn as a human

nimble cape
#

Once all this lore connects and hopefully is included into the game it's going to be noice

icy onyx
#

@harsh oasis I dont even think its about the dinosaurs

#

they're a means to an end

harsh oasis
#

Well, an end to what?

#

What do you think?

icy onyx
#

The subjects on the island are those trapped within the system

nimble cape
#

Inb4 people's consciousness is locked in a computer system that is linked with the replication and creation of everything on the island

icy onyx
#

that prevents thier conciousness from dying

cinder atlas
#

I think a greater thought would be: How are profiles reigned in? Controlled? Collected?

harsh oasis
#

Hm, nice speculation.

cinder atlas
#

From who? Where?

#

Where did they come from?

nimble cape
#

Dondi

#

Ez

harsh oasis
#

You're discussing that tweet then about the idea, right?

icy onyx
#

the same system responsible for transfering said consciousness between human and dinosaur players every time we "respawn"

regal sundial
#

Maybe they had willing/unwilling subjects they got from the general populace then matrix podded them

cinder atlas
#

@nimble cape Keep it serious.

regal sundial
#

Or grew people then succed their minds out

icy onyx
#

so really the life form supreme

regal sundial
#

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

icy onyx
#

is the one that can utilize the multiple bodies it's been trapped within through this deathless system

#

to escape such a cycle

harsh oasis
#

@cinder atlas I'm right about them discussing the recent tweet right?

cinder atlas
#

All of them, really.

icy onyx
#

@regal sundial I dont know about that. feels to inside the box

cinder atlas
#

Not any particular one, atm.

icy onyx
#

honestly my thoughts are just pure speculation

#

so I'm pretty sure Im wrong

harsh oasis
#

I wonder why they would want to put humans inside of dinosaurs, If that is the case.

#

What's the point?

icy onyx
#

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

zealous basalt
#

We could talk about what an "affinity complex" would translate to ingame

harsh oasis
#

Yeah

zealous basalt
#

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

harsh oasis
#

By putting you in a controlled secluded area, away from any mainland

zealous basalt
#

and I'm guessing that "Predictable behavior" would mean playing in ways the devs intended the game to be played.

harsh oasis
#

Or by showing you maybe that's how you'll progress

zealous basalt
#

Possibly, like acting realistically and avoiding unrealistic circumstances is rewarded with increased growth rates.

nimble cape
#

Affinity complex might refer to carebearing and shit

#

But idk

harsh oasis
#

Eh, maybe not

nimble cape
#

Too lazy to think too hard

zealous basalt
#

yeah thats what i've been thinking about

nimble cape
harsh oasis
#

Hm, then that'd be domesticating something wouldn't it?

nimble cape
#

For anyone confused and doesn't know how to google

zealous basalt
#

I think the transmission is talking about the first definition for affinity

nimble cape
#

Fits

zealous basalt
#

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

harsh oasis
#

Huh, so it's not insisting all around carebearing. Just it'd be in better case to stick with your own species?

zealous basalt
#

Its kinda both ends in a way

harsh oasis
#

Ah.

nimble cape
#

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

zealous basalt
#

"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.

harsh oasis
#

Yeah.

zealous basalt
#

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.

harsh oasis
#

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

fossil lily
#

This is a lot to take in at once

#

I was asking for more lore though. I guess I got my wish

icy onyx
#

"Chaos is the surest form of control."

regal sundial
cinder atlas
#

@icy onyx Completed profile = Matriarch/unknown Patriarch?

regal sundial
#

Wonder if that person that was asking questions can log into the terminal?

icy onyx
#

I feel like the completed profile will be exempt from the machine or whatever the fuck is cloning things

#

idk

#

Some special privileges

regal sundial
#

I'm wondering what they pertain to

cinder atlas
#

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?

fossil lily
#

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

quartz sundial
#

whats the terminal again? i forgot 🤷

cinder atlas
#

Creatures aren't profiles, though.

quartz sundial
#

was it the login thing

cinder atlas
#

The driver is.

regal sundial
#

@quartz sundial Yes

quartz sundial
#

ty

cinder atlas
#

You have to disjoint the being from physicality to grasp the concept of what we know of profiles from the information that we have.

regal sundial
#

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

icy onyx
#

Imagine having a completed profile just gives you developer mode

cinder atlas
#

šŸ˜’

proper steppe
#

I'm not so sure that they made these creatures for a purpose

lusty citrus
#

well, having dev mode would be neat

#

you'd be able to access in-game strains n stuff

proper steppe
#

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

regal sundial
#

From the outputs of the console

#

It makes it out to be a bad idea to cooperate

#

Or share information

cinder atlas
#

I don't feel like just spelling out the process they went through is going to work.

regal sundial
#

It practically encourages misleading others?

cinder atlas
#

Because obviously some progress has already been made by players

proper steppe
#

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

fossil lily
#

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

proper steppe
#

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

hearty mulch
#

is the final goal completion

#

or is completion merely a step

cinder atlas
#

But what is completion?

hearty mulch
#

that too

fossil lily
#

Though the "One Person winning" thing could always end up changing.

cinder atlas
#

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.

fossil lily
#

Maybe the "One person winning" is one character in game technically winning. Not a player

cinder atlas
#

You can't always win.

proper steppe
#

I don't think the victory of this profile is going to matter to the mass population of the player base

cinder atlas
#

I disagree. But we have no grasp on what victory is for this "event," of sorts.

fossil lily
#

Yeah

#

Things can also always change.

hearty mulch
#

Gotta find a keyhole/gateway. Wonder which map

regal sundial
#

Thenyaw is the only map on dev branch at least with human structures right now

#

Like the radio tower

#

And a couple sheds?

cinder atlas
#

I think it might be wise to be on the pathway before seeking out the door.

quartz sundial
#

what about that AE12 map? maybe that had something

regal sundial
#

AE-012?

quartz sundial

the map that dev 4 got changed to for a brief time

That's in development rn

AE-012 I am almost certain will have lore hidden stuff tho

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

I doubt they can record everything they do if they want to be the completed profile @dull falcon

#

oh shit

regal sundial
#

...So now what

#

What does this change?

icy onyx
#

we wait

sweet zephyr
#

someone's doing something.

icy onyx
#

It was said that whoever logged in could change the game

sweet zephyr
#

we will find out who eventually.

dire echo
#

Well, this is certainly interesting.

regal sundial
#

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

sweet zephyr
#

up to them to tell us if they want to.

warped coral
#

inb4 the person who logged in asks for stupid shit

placid harness
#

I don't think its over.
Perhaps it is just truly beginning.

dull falcon
#

Last time someone spoke to the console it was public

#

Idk about this time though

regal sundial
#

Do you think you were even close to logging in taterfi?

dull falcon
#

Me? Lmao nooo I didn’t do anything

#

I haven’t even logged into the game for about a month

regal sundial
#

I'd have figured you'd have been one of the closest

#

Since you're more or less archiving the lore

dull falcon
#

Haha I guess. I’m 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

regal sundial
#

How did someone use that last burst of tweets before they logged in to log in is what I'm wondering Don4Think

stoic gale
#

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

icy onyx
#

i guessed this shit day 1

#

fucking

hey Khorne, how is Tzeentch?

icy onyx

A little bitch

regal sundial
#

Or an amalgam of people

dire zodiac
#

I believe i figured out the game lore.

#

What if its a video game

summer helm
#

Careful, you'll make a Dondi laugh

dire zodiac
#

inside a video game

summer helm
#

Nah

dire zodiac
#

BUT WHAT IF

summer helm
#

nah

fossil lily
#

But what if the game lore was all just a distraction. And when you finally beat The Isle its just a Rick Roll

sharp frigate
#

Quit shitposting pls

warped coral
#

that meme is deader than the dinosaurs in the game

#

cmonbruh

sharp frigate
#

legitimate theorycrafting

regal sundial
#

I wonder if the aurora in the skybox is there as more than just fluff

summer helm
#

Thanks Aliens

regal sundial
#

Probably isn't

dire zodiac
#

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

fossil lily
#

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.

summer helm
#

Nah, impossible

#

Auroras don't happen due to magnetism

#

they are Solar flares that bounce off the magnetic field

regal sundial
#

I think I just heard gunshots on dev 3...

#

Er

#

4

dire zodiac
#

Magnetism does cause Aurora Borealis tho

summer helm
#

You'd need to control the sun to make a aurora happen

fossil lily
#

Is there any Devs on the server though Fox Box

summer helm
#

I would advise you consider the Aurora as a indicator our locale

quartz sundial
#

@fossil lily devs can hide their names iirc

regal sundial
#

No. Might have been woodpecker amience in the redwoods?

fossil lily
#

o

warped coral
#

woodpecker ambience is a thing in redwoods yes

grave slate
#

well, about the gunshots, one friend of mine though he heard gunshots when the sound was actually the redwood trees "cracking"

regal sundial
#

Maybe that got me, cause it sounded like faint bangs and I went "HWAHT" šŸ‘€šŸ‘€šŸ‘€

#

Probably something like that

summer helm
#

Dont be surprised

dire zodiac
#

Just had a friend confirm on Dev 4

summer helm
#

Dondi and anthomnia have used guns before in the servers

dire zodiac
#

heard gunshots

regal sundial
#

Oh shit

#

I'm not crazy!

summer helm
#

usually on some poor sod minding his own business

dire echo
#

Can confirm gun shots on dev 4

ebon basalt
#

Shots fired?

regal sundial
#

Heard banging again

dire zodiac
#

prob punch on Dev 4

#

hiding himself

#

oh nvm hes on dev 3

fossil lily
#

it could be the person who logged in

regal sundial
#

Definitely wasn't the trees creaking

fossil lily
#

Idk what they would have gotten access too

dire zodiac
#

oh true

#

well theres onlly 5 people on dev 4

#

that were online during gunshots

fossil lily
#

Why is Dev Branch so empty

dire zodiac
#

Jurassic, Some chinese guy, BorkDork, someone named Sarah and Someone with the name "A"

regal sundial
#

What is going on

fossil lily
#

Possibly the person with A was the one who logged in

#

Cause they are not on the server anymore

dire zodiac
#

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? Don4Think šŸ˜‚

summer helm
#

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

sharp frigate
#

Dev 4 is already dead why you guys gotta shoot it up 😦

summer helm
#

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

regal sundial
#

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

dire zodiac
#

Seems to me "A" is the person who was shooting

fossil lily
#

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"

regal sundial
#

Now I feel like I scared them off calling it out šŸ‘€

#

😰

icy onyx
#

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..

fossil lily
#

I type in A in Steam to search for them

#

And It does not come up with anything

sinful wraith
#

I would like login in to keep being secret

sweet zephyr
#

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.

fossil lily
#

As long as we can figure out everything that is within it

sinful wraith
#

I prefer finding it by myself then someone telling me how to log in

sharp frigate
#

i don't

#

that shits impossible

sweet zephyr

icy onyx

It will be hard as hell to do it alone
