HES TYPING

Findyourself

[lucid flicker]

What did he say now?

[lucid flicker]

That’s interesting

How is that an answer to your question?

[long nexus]

no he was typing in this channel

[lucid flicker]

Oh

[long nexus]

@celest skiff finish typing please

[lucid flicker]

He’s not typing on my end

[long nexus]

he was

[lucid flicker]

Is he still typing?

[long nexus]

no

[lucid flicker]

Oh, ok

Too bad

[oak tartan]

this always happened while im distracted

[long nexus]

yeah lol

so unlucky

[oak tartan]

its like he knows 😭

[lucid flicker]

Hey @long nexus, ask FUNF when “The Summit” takes place

Nvm, I’ll ask him

[long nexus]

i asked

a bit back

[chrome latch]

Automatic archival for a LOT of ARGs

Also, can people send me all the videos and images the creator has DMd you?

[zealous yarrow]

This is the only video not on YT as far as I know @chrome latch

[chrome latch]

Alright, thanks

[long nexus]

there are no images

btw

all the videos are linked on slides

[lucid flicker]

People, I hath been DMed

[lucid flicker]

Yes, it’s the only one (that we’ve found at least)

Man, I’m very happy NotFound joined discord

Way easier to communicate with him now

[chrome latch]

Can people collate all the DMs and get them to me?

[lucid flicker]

Sure, I’ll send all the dms he sent me

[chrome latch]

Thank you.

[lucid flicker]

👍

If you want to see videos and anomalies, check out @long nexus’s slideshow

[long nexus]

can u send

[chrome latch]

I'm working on decoding now

[lucid flicker]

It’s was a reply to “when does “the summit” take place”

[chrome latch]

Base32, Hex

[long nexus]

nice

[lucid flicker]

Well now we know that “The summit” takes place January 23, ???

[long nexus]

when does home take place?

[lucid flicker]

Probably a day before “home”, because that was January 24, ???

[long nexus]

i'm assuming it takes place in 09

2009

because that's when a lot of the videos do as well

[lucid flicker]

It also says “ERROR ERROR ALFIE.JAR OVERRIDE COMMENCING”

[chrome latch]

I know, I just sent that

[lucid flicker]

So Alfie is either a person and a program, or just a program

Either way, it’s confirmed

[chrome latch]

Also, reminder that I am doing archival for this as well:

https://homesrv.ashleighhost.net/mcarg

This ones's not fully automated yet though.

The YT videos, their comments, and their descriptions won't be available until 0500 tomorrow.

Well, that's not the link specific to this ARG

https://homesrv.ashleighhost.net/mcarg/friendsnotfound

Pin that one if you pin it

[lucid flicker]

Can someone pin this?

@chrome latch have you seen any of the videos yet? If so, have you noticed anything we haven’t?

[chrome latch]

Not yet

[lucid flicker]

Alr

I feel like D1 is hiding something tho

[chrome latch]

I'll spend time on that one.

[lucid flicker]

Even with the “sky-void” and jumpscares, it just feels too normal

Compared to the others

[lucid flicker]

Thank you, I’ll be doing the same

Also, warning, Unused.0 and Discovery.1 have LOUD in them

So don’t have your volume all the way up on those parts

[chrome latch]

I'm going to force cron to run the update on the archives so I can import these directly into programs

[lucid flicker]

Sounds good

Guys, another dm

[chrome latch]

Archived, decoding now

[lucid flicker]

Holy moly hexadecimal

That’s a lot

[chrome latch]

Oh my God

[lucid flicker]

What is it?

[chrome latch]

Three layers

Also, I think it's cut off?

[lucid flicker]

Huh

I’ll ask him for the rest of the message

Unless it decoded wrong

But three layers is the most yet

[chrome latch]

He also DM'd me, but Discord said no at first

Message looks the same, but I'm going to attempt decoding anyway to verify

Yeah, text is the same

[lucid flicker]

I’ll try decoding it too

[chrome latch]

MORE

[lucid flicker]

I got more too

Same thing

[chrome latch]

And then emojis.

[long nexus]

i got a message

[lucid flicker]

Oop, base 100

[lucid flicker]

We got that too

[long nexus]

👘👙👠👞👚👣👬👜

[chrome latch]

Yeah, we already decoded it

[lucid flicker]

Not this one

[long nexus]

01001110 00110101 00110010 01010011 01000001 00110010 01000100 01000010 01001111 01011010 01010011 01010011 01000001 00110011 01001100 01001010 01001111 01001110 01011010 01010111 01001011 01011010 01000001 00111101

[chrome latch]

Base 100?

From the emojis?

[long nexus]

N52SA2DBOZSSA3LJONZWKZA=

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, he’s done it before in the thread

[lucid flicker]

Base 32, right?

[chrome latch]

I decoded that one

[lucid flicker]

Oh yeah

Whups

[chrome latch]

#1231748884750012507 message

[long nexus]

N52SA2DBOZSSA3LJONZWKZA=

dang

copied wrong thing

ou have missed

that's what it says

[lucid flicker]

So the first 2 messages when put together say, “Foolish Friends, you have missed”

[chrome latch]

Recipes are executed from the top down in this program, by the way.

[chrome latch]

Yeah, and then the emojis.

[lucid flicker]

a big clue

[long nexus]

without spaced

it's probably a key

for a cipher

[chrome latch]

Also, spectorgram for D1 is clean.

[long nexus]

you figured this out?

[chrome latch]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

“Foolish Friends, you have missed abigclue”

[long nexus]

uh

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, it’s three layers, the most he’s ever done

[long nexus]

ooh

[chrome latch]

#1231748884750012507 message

[lucid flicker]

What clue did we miss?

Wait

[chrome latch]

How did you get that text from the emojis?

[lucid flicker]

What if all of the leaves mean something

[long nexus]

base 100

https://www.a.tools/Tool.php?Id=124

[chrome latch]

Oh, that's what he was saying about the Base 100

I was tring to figure out what he was running though Base 100

[long nexus]

?

[lucid flicker]

https://www.a.tools/Tool.php?Id=124

[chrome latch]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

You know, the random leaf blocks in U0 and D1, the leaf block gravemark/crucifix, the leaf room jumpscare, the videos of real life trees

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

Maybe that’s the big clue?

[chrome latch]

These leaves?

[long nexus]

no

maybe

[lucid flicker]

That’s the leaf room jumpscare

[long nexus]

idk

[chrome latch]

Wait

Image brightnening

[celest skiff]

Correct my friends

Over and out

[lucid flicker]

There he is

[chrome latch]

If FNaF teasers taught me anything, it's what artifically dimmed images look like

[lucid flicker]

Good idea

[chrome latch]

And these are artifically dimmed

[lucid flicker]

Thanks notfound

So the leaves mean something

Idk what tho

[long nexus]

ooh

[lucid flicker]

While you’re at it, try brightening the other jumpscare in D1, and home +the summit

[chrome latch]

I am

[lucid flicker]

Alr thanks

[chrome latch]

God I love VLC

[lucid flicker]

What are you using to brighten them?

Cause regular photo editor does nothing

[chrome latch]

VLC's real time image adjustment

[lucid flicker]

Oh

Nice

Ill have to try that out sometime

[chrome latch]

Only the greatest media player ever made

[long nexus]

nothing

[chrome latch]

What's the next thing I need to brighten?

[long nexus]

home and the other video he sent

[lucid flicker]

Well, at least we can see the inventory and the room better

[lucid flicker]

Hold up

So you know the video cuts in all the videos

[chrome latch]

No, as I've not watched them all yet

[long nexus]

the first video

[chrome latch]

That's the first one I've watched

[long nexus]

had a ton of cuts

[chrome latch]

Home?

[long nexus]

check the slideshow, it lists timestamps

no afs

fresh start

[chrome latch]

Then please fix the playlist

[lucid flicker]

Well if you slow down AFS and U0, on AFS when he goes to the black box there’s a black screen before the cut, and on U0, there’s a black screen after he falls down the cliff and looks up

[lucid flicker]

Try brightening those

[chrome latch]

Understood.

[lucid flicker]

👍

Thank you for helping

[zealous yarrow]

Hey guys

[lucid flicker]

Hello @zealous yarrow

[long nexus]

it was the first video he posted

not first in timeline

[zealous yarrow]

I got a bunch of messages

[long nexus]

yeah a lot happened

[zealous yarrow]

But I see everyone got them also

[long nexus]

lore drops go crazy

[zealous yarrow]

I read

I need a shower

[long nexus]

send ss

[zealous yarrow]

Brb

[lucid flicker]

l e a v e s

🍃🍃🍃

[chrome latch]

Also, Home is clear

[lucid flicker]

Correct

It’s actually the last one in the timeline

[lucid flicker]

It is?

Could you send a photo?

[chrome latch]

Heads up, this guy's playing with a controller

[chrome latch]

There's nothing to see

[lucid flicker]

Ok

[chrome latch]

The movements are too robotic, too direct and smooth.

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, AFS is on console edition

[chrome latch]

No, I saw it in D1 too I think

[lucid flicker]

Really?

Maybe

[chrome latch]

It's hard to tell actually

[long nexus]

afs is bedrock yeah

[long nexus]

it's not

it's classic edition

i'm pretty sure it has no support for control

because it's web based

[chrome latch]

Alright, back to b r i g h t b e d r o c c

Well, I can use my desktop with a controller using Steam, so uh

[long nexus]

yeah but on chrome?

[chrome latch]

The entire computer can be controlled from a controller

Also, the void is not saying anything yet

This is what's within the cut frame

[lucid flicker]

Correct, the black screen

Let me try

[chrome latch]

There's something in there, but VideoPad is fighting me

[long nexus]

i make out a W and a ?

[chrome latch]

Nah, it's a room

He's in a small box or cave of some sort

[lucid flicker]

This is the black screen for AFS

[chrome latch]

Yeah, a 2x2x2 box

Maybe stone?

[lucid flicker]

I see it as “who?”

[chrome latch]

Oh yeah, that is there!

Is there only one black screen in AFS?

[lucid flicker]

Yes

[chrome latch]

Interesting...

[lucid flicker]

Here’s the black screen in U0

I have no idea wth that is tho

[chrome latch]

Can you give me a timestamp for it?

[lucid flicker]

But there’s definitely something there

[lucid flicker]

Which one?

[chrome latch]

The U0 black screen

[lucid flicker]

Alr

1:02

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, the black screen you brightened was the player looking at the void-cube I think

[chrome latch]

This is the most I can get out of this one

I'm about 60% sure there's something here, but YouTube's compression murdered it

Have these been decoded?

[long nexus]

yes

[chrome latch]

What was the solution for the Ryan one?

Not the text itself, but the solution

Because that seems a little off, but also correct

[foggy socket]

when video edting looks painful; the other type looks even more

[lucid flicker]

What?

[foggy socket]

this part here looks like video-editing

[chrome latch]

Because that's a video editor

[lucid flicker]

She’s trying to brighten the image for secrets

[foggy socket]

while i gotta decode everything that anothershadowznow is sharing

all the PGP SMS and emails he sends in my DMs or in the thread

almost fried

[lucid flicker]

Is that another arg?

[foggy socket]

yes

[long nexus]

lemme find it

[foggy socket]

another ARG shared with The Overseas Observer's ARG

[long nexus]

but ryan is part of the arg

[chrome latch]

Thanks Borb

Wait, they are?

[long nexus]

borb....

yeah

[chrome latch]

The Borb™️

[foggy socket]

ym bird

[lucid flicker]

What? I thought it was just a reply to his question

[long nexus]

no his account was created relatively recently

[lucid flicker]

So?

Maybe

[long nexus]

literally a week ago

[lucid flicker]

Irdktbh

[foggy socket]

whose account recently?

[long nexus]

and then he is warned

that he is next

[lucid flicker]

Huh

Cool

[chrome latch]

...

[lucid flicker]

Nice job @long nexus

[lucid flicker]

“RyanHarshas”

[foggy socket]

oh ok

[chrome latch]

Also, that's ominous

Also, screw you YouTube for white-on-grey

[foggy socket]

i thought we were still talking about the ARGs shared between anothershadowznow and The Overseas Observer

[chrome latch]

No, we returned to topic and I'm trying to figure out what this abomination was decoded with

[long nexus]

He's watching you RyanHarshas. Alfie didn't give it up. You might be next if the experiment fails. If the ERROR is incomplete, it won't conclude the ERROR{DECRYTPING VIRATAL}exe.removing|Alfie.jar<>program.terminated}

[chrome latch]

No no

[long nexus]

hex decode + ceaser cipher shift of 11

[chrome latch]

Ah, there we are

[lucid flicker]

He's watching you RyanHarshas. Alfie didn't give it up. You might be next if the experiment fails. If the ERROR is incomplete, it won't conclude the ERROR{DECRYTPING VIRATAL}exe.removing|Alfie.jar<>program.terminated}

[long nexus]

late

[lucid flicker]

I know

[long nexus]

mentions him very explicitly

[lucid flicker]

Takes forever to navigate the thread

[long nexus]

he has to be part of the character

[lucid flicker]

It does

[long nexus]

i just redid it lol

[lucid flicker]

Oh

That would have been quicker wouldn’t it

[long nexus]

bruh

it was on the slideshow

lol

important to note that mr fnf likes his hex codes, ceaser ciphers, and base64

[chrome latch]

That doesn't work

[long nexus]

he uses those the most

recently he also used base 100 a lot

[long nexus]

?

[long nexus]

hex decode first

than use the result

[chrome latch]

I did

[long nexus]

and ceaser cipher

[chrome latch]

Interesting

Your Hex decode is different from mine

[long nexus]

its 4 sorry

mb

i think cryptii.com ceaser ciphered the code

lol

its shift of 4

[chrome latch]

Not that either

Is the first hex decode wrong?

[long nexus]

no

take the output of the second image

[long nexus]

this one

and put that in the ceaser cipher

[chrome latch]

Here's the thing

[long nexus]

use "Li'w aexglmrk csy VcerLevwlew. Epjmi hmhr'x kmzi mx yt. Csy qmklx fi ribx mj xli ibtivmqirx jempw. Mj xli IVVSV mw mrgsqtpixi, mx asr'x gsrgpyhi xli IVVSV{HIGVCXTMRK ZMVEXEP}ibi.viqszmrk|Epjmi.nev<>tvskveq.xivqmrexih}"

and put the ceaser cipher on that

[chrome latch]

CyberChef is made by these guys

[lucid flicker]

I just thought of something

[chrome latch]

And the Ceaser cipher is not getting the same result you are

[long nexus]

what do you mean

[lucid flicker]

So in D1, the jumpscare sounds are louder versions of the music

[chrome latch]

You can stack operations in CyberChef

I'm stacking them

[lucid flicker]

In U0, the jumpscare sound is something else

[chrome latch]

So why isn't the output ever right?

[lucid flicker]

So maybe try spectrogram on U0

[long nexus]

you are using rot 13

rot 13 is not ceaser

its the inverse

so with rot 13 you have do -4

[chrome latch]

Let me check that one

[chrome latch]

Alright, there we go

[long nexus]

ooh

thats smart

[chrome latch]

Doing that now

Ehh

[long nexus]

nothing out of the ordinary

[lucid flicker]

Well wth is it?

Besides LOUD

[chrome latch]

It's nothing

[lucid flicker]

I mean, where did the sound come from

Is there a way to find that out?

Or maybe it’s just a loud noise that FUNF made idk

[chrome latch]

Sounds like a bitcrunched noise generator

Alright, I'm about to be going somewhere IRL, so I won't be available for a bit.

[lucid flicker]

Alr

Cya!

[long nexus]

@lucid flicker in discovery.1

hes not in the sky-void

he just has high fog

nvm

[lucid flicker]

But he falls down

[long nexus]

you right

just saw

[lucid flicker]

So is his house in the sky?

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

There is high fog in both D1 and U0 tho

[long nexus]

classic edition has that

[lucid flicker]

Correct

I tried out that website

Very different compared to modern day mc

[long nexus]

i seriously feel a slight issue with this arg tho

we are losing story

it might be the fact that we figured the story out too fast

but we have gotten almost no relevant info to the story that we didn't know before

[lucid flicker]

True

I hope we get another video from the player in AFS’s perspective

That might add something

[long nexus]

bro saw the message

[lucid flicker]

Dimensional?

[long nexus]

looks like it's gonna get harder

[lucid flicker]

Probably, he’s in the thread

[long nexus]

more fun 🙂

[lucid flicker]

Yes, fun

[foggy socket]

Yup, he's in

[mint lodge]

Hey

How's arg going

[foggy socket]

hi

[mint lodge]

Anything new?

[foggy socket]

just a couple spectrograms and things that Bird and OP found with Friendsnotfound's DM with Bird

[mint lodge]

Good thing

Let's see how this turns out

[foggy socket]

you like Gmod: Half Life?

[mint lodge]

I like Half Life and Gmod, and when we combine (reference) that with ARG genre I like It more

[foggy socket]

ah i c

[mint lodge]

Aight cool

[chrome latch]

I'm back

[long nexus]

why so much bold

[celest skiff]

He will interfere

Just wait my friends

Over and out

🙂

[long nexus]

uh

got some more dms

@chrome latch @lucid flicker

[celest skiff]

Work with what you’ve got my friend

[long nexus]

yup

[celest skiff]

189629*********#{ERROR}

[long nexus]

[foggy socket]

you should probably create a Google Sildes or Google Docs file of all these codes so to keep track what codes needs decoding and which have been solved

[long nexus]

yeah there is a slide

i'll add to it

about the solved or not

[foggy socket]

i looked at the pin icon, nothing pinned yet

[lucid flicker]

I’m back

[lucid flicker]

More dms?

[foggy socket]

you should probably get someone like ShimmeringStars to ask to get the file pinned for you

[long nexus]

it is pinned

[lucid flicker]

It is

[long nexus]

yup

[foggy socket]

ok now i c

[long nexus]

wrong as

ss*

[foggy socket]

the first click i saw nothing

[long nexus]

this one

[lucid flicker]

He posted a lot of clear text this time

[lucid flicker]

What is that code?

[long nexus]

no clue

not ascii

[lucid flicker]

Well he took your advice

[long nexus]

lol

appreciate it

[lucid flicker]

Uhh guys?

He created a thread

More ciphertext and two images

First one is his pfp, second one is idk

[long nexus]

wait what

this could mean something

[lucid flicker]

So we have Alfie, who is portrayed as bad, because he corrupts messages with “ERROR”, and he might be “him” that interferes. We have RyanHarshas, who Irdk yet. And then FUNF, who seems to be an observer or tracker. Watching and sharing the story

[long nexus]

@lucid lodge could you pin the message in the new thread saying that it relates to this arg

[lucid lodge]

Sister Thread: https://discord.com/channels/773771861812183080/1232834125975781396

[long nexus]

could you post in other as well?

[lucid flicker]

Could you also pin @chrome latch’s archive post?

[long nexus]

this ^

[coral magnet]

I am in no way shape or form part of this arg I just like making people md

**mad

[long nexus]

lmao

[chrome latch]

Oh, so this was what kept pinging

I was trying to figure out why the hell Boneworks would be making Discord sounds lmao

[chrome latch]

Regarding this:

Mentally, I can see a pattern in the numbers. Not all numbers are present. There's only five: 0, 6, 7, 8, 9. Lifeless is some hint here I think, but nothing I know of can use only five characters and takes a key.

[zealous yarrow]

Guys I'm awake

[lucid flicker]

Guys

[barren smelt]

?

[lucid flicker]

I think I have figured out the cipher

[vapid abyss]

Oh yeah I'm doing this one boys

Let's go

[lucid flicker]

Try rot13 first, then polybius

[barren smelt]

o

[lucid flicker]

This is the cipher text: 87 09 76 97 79 60 88 69 98 79 87 90 98 99 77 89 68 86 90 60 98 07 79 86 86 68 89 87 60 97 60 66 69 09 98 89 89 88 99 78 60 69 79 87 60 88 98 79 89 88 66 86 98 60 68 97 60 99 98 67 60 77 79 88 66 99 86 60 66 98 99 79 76 78 60 69 89 60 98 88 99 79 88 99 60 97 76 60 97 60

I tried polybius first, then Ceasar + polybius

GUYS I DID IT

IT WAS ROT13 + POLYBIUS

myfriendsimustgoclueswillcomereadysoonthedimensionalsecretsbeginatleastifhedoesntinterfere

[barren smelt]

1

[lucid flicker]

?

[barren smelt]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

Uhm, ok?

Idk what anything you’ve said means, but I solved it finally

[lucid flicker]

“My friends, I must go. Clues will come when ready. Soon the dimensional secrets begin, at least if he doesn’t interfere”

[long nexus]

time to build nether portal irl

[oak tartan]

im gonna kms

[lucid flicker]

Please don’t

[lucid flicker]

Lol good idea

That was a really good cipher tho

Both were ones he hadn’t done before, so it was a nice change of difficulty

[long nexus]

i slept through it too

[zealous yarrow]

Do you think this means he's leaving discord?

[lucid flicker]

No, I don’t think so

Probably means just wont get anything new for a while

He did say “work with what you’ve got”

[long nexus]

yeah we should take this time to get everything in the slide

[lucid flicker]

I’m starting to wonder if his pfp has any significance

It appears to be bedrock with holes into the void, and we’ve seen bedrock and void throughout the videos

[oak tartan]

bedrock version

my theory is when you fall to it you change version

[long nexus]

we have never seen that

[lucid flicker]

That seems interesting, but we haven’t seen anything correlating to that besides there being Java and Bedrock videos

[lucid flicker]

I feel like this and the red dot in AFS have something in common

[long nexus]

there has never been a java version, classic edition is not java

[long nexus]

yeah but i don't think we will get explanation for it soon

[coral magnet]

@celest skiff Be My Friend

HES HERE

[foggy lily]

Friend Inside Me

[coral magnet]

HELLO BRO

❤️

[foggy lily]

No way

[foggy lily]

[coral magnet]

rootinest tootinest cowboy in the wild west bro

[foggy lily]

Friend Inside Me

[mint lodge]

Hello

How far what's happening in arg rn

[foggy lily]

Friend Inside Me

Friend Inside Me

[mint lodge]

This only gets creepier and more annoying

[foggy lily]

Be My Friend

[mint lodge]

So true

[coral magnet]

@foggy lily he's like, being rude to you and stuff

kill him

[long nexus]

he told us to wait

might take a couple days or a couple weeks

idk

[foggy lily]

Be My Friend

[coral magnet]

RIP FRIEND INSIDE ME
the world didn't deserve you

[lucid lodge]

We solved the arg. The friends are here

[mint lodge]

Nuh uh

Is Woody real then

[lucid lodge]

No

[mint lodge]

Ah ok

[foggy lily]

Be My Friend

[lucid lodge]

Sorry, I'm already taken

[lucid lodge]

Sorry bro. Hope you get someone else.

[lucid flicker]

@lucid lodge can you PLEASE delete the “friend in me” nonsense and remove @coral magnet and his alt @foggy lily PLEASE

[coral magnet]

oh no no he's not my alt

he's my friend

my friend inside me

[lucid flicker]

Ok, friend whatever

ENOUGH

ITS TERRIFYING AND DISTRACTING

[coral magnet]

I'll stop the friend inside me thing and I'll just go back to lurking

sounds more fun

[lucid flicker]

THANK YOU

and if you could, please remove the images

It will probably confuse people that click on this thread and it makes my skin crawl

[foggy lily]

Be My Friend

[lucid flicker]

NO

YOU ARE ANNOYING

AND I KNOW YOURE AN ALT, YOU LITERALLY JOINED TODAY

GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE

[coral magnet]

that's kinda rude tbh

he just wants friends 😦

[lucid flicker]

Ok, sorry

But annoying people is not how you make friends

[lucid lodge]

I don't have that power

[lucid flicker]

Oh, ok

Is there someone that does?

[lucid lodge]

But yeah, @coral magnet @foggy lily please stop doing the "friend inside me" stuff here

[coral magnet]

aye aye captain

[lucid lodge]

I think you guys did it for long enough

Thanks

[lucid flicker]

Thank you

And @coral magnet, I’m not angry at you

If you want to help, you can

[lucid lodge]

That's an admin thing

[coral magnet]

eh alright

[lucid flicker]

It’s just terrifying

Did you make those images?

[lucid flicker]

And Pengu, this thread and ARG has NOTHING to do with Toy Story in case you’re confused

As far as I can tell, it’s Minecraft + Real life related

[coral magnet]

no friend inside me made them

[lucid lodge]

I'm sure they know

[lucid flicker]

That’s a thing?

Man, I’m so out of the loop

[lucid flicker]

Something tells me it won’t be too long, cause he said “soon”

[lucid lodge]

P sure it was made by toby fox

[lucid flicker]

Who’s that?

[lucid lodge]

The person who made undertale and deltatune

[lucid flicker]

I have no idea what those are, but sounds cool ig

I hope Notfound comes back soon

[long nexus]

there's no shot

meglovania?

sans?

[lucid flicker]

I’ve heard of those names, but only from my cousin

Idk what they actually are tho

[lucid lodge]

those are two very popular games. I'm surprised you haven't heard of undertale at least

[long nexus]

yeah me too

[lucid flicker]

I wonder if “dimensional” refers to the real life videos?

[chrome latch]

Possibly

[oak lotus]

friend inside me

[barren smelt]

roxckage2e

hi

:3

[lucid flicker]

What?

[lucid flicker]

Hey guys, Mr. Notfound just DMed me

He said, “very soon”

I think he’s coming back

[long nexus]

nice

[lucid flicker]

Agreed, I wonder if it has any important meaning

[chrome latch]

Requesting again, can I get my archive link pinned?

https://homesrv.ashleighhost.net/mcarg/friendsnotfound/

[lucid flicker]

@lucid lodge can you pin this pls?

Nice, thank you!

[chrome latch]

Thank you

And as long as the playlist is kept up to date, this'll save everything

[long nexus]

will remember to update it

btw he just messaged me telling me "soon"

[chrome latch]

Nice

[lucid flicker]

[long nexus]

doesn't work

something's messed up :/

[barren smelt]

then parts are encrypted

[long nexus]

might be substitution

cipher

[long nexus]

honestly we have theories

they have been half confirmed

[barren smelt]

845145127 tell me all the theories

[long nexus]

some experiments happened around 2009

and the goal is unknown

but it had something with trapping people in mc

there are constant references to "leaving home" and showing pictures of the real world

[barren smelt]

So mark101

[long nexus]

and they called minecraft a "new home"

[long nexus]

yeah basically

[barren smelt]

mark101 gamejack?

[long nexus]

no

it's going its own route

[long nexus]

it's more of a generic idea

person gets trapped in video game

@celest skiff

[long nexus]

is the cipher broken

also when is "life could be a dream"

if there is a date associated with it

[oak tartan]

BRO

everytime

i was getting haircut

@long nexus

what isnt decrytped

[oak tartan]

not broken

he might have a typo while doing so

[long nexus]

yeah

so it leads to broken link

[long nexus]

this

[oak tartan]

ik

he

just came back to bedrock

so this is another experiment

[lucid flicker]

Hey guys, I was asleep

Wait, NEW VIDEOS?!???

LETS GOOOO!!!!!!

[lucid flicker]

Holy moly this is unsettling to the max

[lucid flicker]

Maybe a key cipher?

The player in MP actually did make a lot of progress, so good for him

To bad he lost those diamonds, I wonder if that’s the “interference” that’s referenced in the comments

[lucid flicker]

What would the key be?

[oak tartan]

no he might did a typo

[celest skiff]

He’s back again…

[long nexus]

he sent me something

Wisest friend, the key is in plain sight. Why else would he be corrupting the messages?

[long nexus]

Wisest friend, the key is in plain sight. Why else would he be corrupting the messages?

[oak tartan]

Ryan is the one interfering?

[celest skiff]

Wrong, try everyone you know

[oak tartan]

oh it was corrupted..

that make sense

[long nexus]

the one running the experiment

[oak tartan]

Alfie?

[lucid flicker]

It’s gotta be Alfie

Alfie is the key? Cause he corrupts messages

[celest skiff]

🐽👠👥👛👰👦👬👩👪👜👣👝

Over and out my friends

[long nexus]

it's the same code

[celest skiff]

🙂

[long nexus]

findyourself

he loves this code

i have it memorized lol

[lucid flicker]

He probably means that we need to do it ourselves

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

Is there a key cipher?

[oak tartan]

probably we missed a big hint

[lucid flicker]

That you know of?

[long nexus]

something with this

[lucid flicker]

He said try everyone you know

[long nexus]

the key is in plain sight

[lucid flicker]

So maybe everyone that is mentioned in the story so far?

Cause if the key ends up being my great grandma or something, I’m gonna freak out

[lucid flicker]

No, this one probably

As it is the original

[oak tartan]

we must find what is the changed text

in the yt code

and then try every alphabet possible

[lucid flicker]

GUYS

https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/keyed-caesar-cipher

[oak tartan]

?

[lucid flicker]

I was looking up ciphers with keys and I found this

[barren smelt]

vigenere basically

[oak tartan]

ye

[lucid flicker]

I’m gonna try all the characters in the story so far

It’s Alfie

[oak tartan]

send

i was right its alfie

[lucid flicker]

https://youtu.be/UQLC3ZHq_Mw

It’s a video by Ryan

[oak tartan]

unsettling video

he is someone?

who?

i somehow paused right at that

paused randomly

[long nexus]

I KNEW IT

[lucid flicker]

Understament

There’s a lot of weird stuff

More real life at the end

[oak tartan]

experiment

is the experiment to make him gone?

[lucid flicker]

Description and Comments

[oak tartan]

"Am I innoncent"

[lucid flicker]

Here’s the photos that change:

[oak tartan]

hmm

[lucid flicker]

This one has that red dot thing again

[lucid flicker]

This one is definitely the weirdest

[lucid flicker]

This is just, idk

[oak tartan]

yuh

[long nexus]

i'm assuming the video takes place right now

[long nexus]

this could say otherwise

[lucid flicker]

Also, Ryan’s YT Handle and description are pretty freaky:

Idk what his pfp is tho

[oak tartan]

https://yt3.googleusercontent.com/UHyMn06tJykNUbqb7uL-u6OpcZ2rX3H1lWgQEbAeWTHvskr-w1VqwhUEc2f1bsMEO9ICNhmD=s176-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj

[barren smelt]

845145127 was i missing out on a lot of things?

[lucid flicker]

Oh wait, hang on, Ryan just left a comment on “He’s still here”

[lucid flicker]

Thanks, but I still don’t know what it could mean

[oak tartan]

lmao

no im stupid

[lucid flicker]

What do you mean

[oak tartan]

no no im stupid

[lucid flicker]

Why are you stupid

[oak tartan]

im stupid dont worry

[lucid flicker]

Alr

And you’re not stupid, you’ve helped solve a lot of ciphers

[oak tartan]

uhh

ok so

ryan harshas pfp is

similliar to

13th Expeditionary Sustainment Command

[lucid flicker]

Hold on, gotta look up what that is

[oak tartan]

command

in the army

[lucid flicker]

Oh man, you’re right

I wonder if that will be significant later on

[oak tartan]

yep

[lucid flicker]

Does anyone know what the song that’s used in this is?

[oak tartan]

you dont know?

no way

oh my god

you dont know undertale and that song?

crazy

no way

[celest skiff]

A song of Ryan’s faults

A song of Alfie’s faults

[oak tartan]

wow

[celest skiff]

A song of my faults

A song of your faults

[oak tartan]

all of us faults?

[lucid flicker]

What?

What faults?

[celest skiff]

You’ll see

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[lucid flicker]

That was weird

[oak tartan]

yes

[lucid flicker]

So anyway, what is the song? Besides a song of faults

Cause it’s kinda unsettling in the video, but I’m sure it’s been lowered down in the video

[oak tartan]

uh

The Chords - Sh Boom

Life could be a dream

love that song

[lucid flicker]

Wait, really

That’s what Notfound keeps saying

[oak tartan]

ye

[lucid flicker]

So the song makes sense with the context

Nice

[oak tartan]

no way if the song is the reason that this arg is created

[lucid flicker]

I don’t think the song is the reason the aARG was created

I think it was just a thing he thought of that would fit

[oak tartan]

imagine

[lucid flicker]

Imagine what?

That the song is the reason for the ARG?

[oak tartan]

nothing

i like the song is for the theme

[lucid flicker]

Me too

It’s a good song for it

Uhhh

New video from Ryan

[oak tartan]

oh my god

i just go to the bathroom

THESE KEEP HAPPENInG

2-4-2009

marioo

changing pic

dimensional

[lucid flicker]

I thought when Notfound said “dimensional”, that he was referring to the nether or real life, but apparently he meant other games

Here’s the pictures that flash in the video:

Also, FUNF left a comment:

[lucid flicker]

Here’s the 2 dark images brightened:

This is getting really creepy

Also, those black things, one with a red dot, and one with a white dot, have been shown in other videos

[oak tartan]

Is it not hexadecimal?

[long nexus]

yeah but half is corrupted

i can only make out 1-24

[lucid flicker]

Have you tried a different decoding site?

@lucid lodge could you pin this pls?

it is i think

idk

no

[lucid flicker]

Thank you @lucid lodge!

[lucid flicker]

Nice one!

Did you decode this?

[oak tartan]

yes it was the replied message

[foggy socket]

Yes u

I was wondering if it be helpful a bit if Angel and bird could help out since we already have you, Cheetos, Llyoncub, and me

We need more investigators on unreasonableweapon44 Anothershadowznow case

[foggy socket]

I'll hop on later this afternoon, got smwh to get now

[vapid abyss]

Alright

[barren smelt]

alr

[lucid flicker]

No, it wasn’t fully decoded

[zealous yarrow]

Hey guys, yesterday I fell out a tree and broke my right hip and my wrist. I'm not doing too badly tho.

[vapid abyss]

Random reminder

(to do what the text he said does)

[long nexus]

yeah i actually was looking at the arg

the only reason i didn't help out was the amount of things for me to catch up on

[barren smelt]

wdym

[barren smelt]

you dont need to catch up on stuff, older members and solvers will explain it

[long nexus]

there is 3k messages

almost 4

[barren smelt]

older solvers will explain the story

[long nexus]

yeah ok

[lucid flicker]

Here’s some things I noticed in the photos besides Red, White, and the tentacles:

I said laboratory again, because the photo has the same effect as the office photo in “The Summit”

Also, it’s easier to see the words in the other 2 images on TV YouTube for some reason

Like on Roku

[oak tartan]

no tentacles those are just obsidian brighten

the building outside the obsidian box is sure weird

[lucid flicker]

I don’t think it’s obsidian

Hold on

Man, I can’t get a good photo

I think it’s cobblestone

It’s easier to see on tv than YT

And when I send it through discord, it darkens for some reason

[lucid flicker]

True, Irdk what that is

[celest skiff]

They are his observers, his “friends” if you will

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[lucid flicker]

Ok, so that was helpful

So the words are “no more life” and “it can’t be him”

And the room is cobblestone, not obsidian

And Red and White DO have tentacles

[oak tartan]

I was right they were observing

[lucid flicker]

Where’d everyone go?

Does anyone have any ideas on what Red and White could be?

And why the text says “no more life, it can’t be him”?

[long nexus]

idk

i've been so busy

[lucid flicker]

I hope we get a new video from Notfound , cause I’m incredibly confused

[lucid flicker]

I know, sorry

I was quite rude

[long nexus]

you are fine

[lucid flicker]

Thanks

He did refer to Red and White as not only his “observers”, but also his “friends”

What that could mean, I have no clue

Also, this hasn’t been mentioned yet, so here you go:

The comments on “dreams”

And the ciphertext hasn’t been fully solved yet I don’t think

Plus the plaintext section of the description

[lucid flicker]

I think it’s the same building as the one in “dreams”

[chrome latch]

Alright, checking Dreams now

It was not added to the playlist

[long nexus]

sorry i've been so busy

[long nexus]

yes it has been

right after home

[chrome latch]

Well, YT-DLP sure doesn't think so

[long nexus]

make sure it's updated

it's missing half the videos i added lol

are you constantly running it?

[chrome latch]

Every morning at 5 AM

[long nexus]

yeah something's up then

what are you using to run it at 5am?

cron?

LOL

can't believe it just did that

if you want dm it to me

[chrome latch]

Alright, so what am I looking for?

Does anyone here see it?

If not...

What is that red dot?

No hidden messages in the brightness, though.

This one has hidden messages though!

This one has a single frame of pink NO

Red dot is here as well.

[lucid flicker]

That’s the “who?” Message again

I’m assuming they’re asking “who” is here

That single red dot is freaky tho

Is it Red? I don’t think it is because Red has black around him, so irdkatm

[chrome latch]

Define irdkat

[lucid flicker]

“I really don’t know at the moment”

I forgot the “m”

[chrome latch]

Adding this to the list of slang terms people use for some reason
