Friends Underscore Not Found

[lucid flicker]

Hey, I made it up

I don’t understand the slang stuff either

I had to learn when I joined discord what literally anything meant

[chrome latch]

I just greatly dislike abbreviations unless they've existed for over a decade. And even then, I use them very rarely.

[lucid flicker]

Alr, sorry

I don’t like them very much either

We good?

[chrome latch]

Yeah. This was not a personal attack.

[lucid flicker]

I know

I’m not hurt or anything

👍

[lucid flicker]

NotFound has returned!

[chrome latch]

Of course Borb's not here

Also, I'm sorry for your loss

[lucid flicker]

What?

What loss?

[chrome latch]

Apple user

[lucid flicker]

😑😑😑

Anyway

Description and comments:

Also the video appears to be just black for only 4 seconds

Could you brighten?

[chrome latch]

I won't be able to do much until this makes it to the playlist

[lucid flicker]

Alr

And a new date, 9-24-2010

We haven’t had anything set in 2010 yet

[chrome latch]

Can you send me a link?

[lucid flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1DlR-umY_A

Here’s what I got:

I think it’s the bedrock lattice?

[chrome latch]

It is

[lucid flicker]

So his escape was through the bedrock?

Into the void…

It also said “he messed up”

And that when Ryan joined the game, Alfie left the game

[chrome latch]

I see the lattice without brightening, by the way.

Has anyone decoded their about me?

In case not...

I also added it to my notes

RYAN'S COMMENT IS GONE

And I don't have it archived as apparently YT is no longer allowing comments to be archived

[lucid flicker]

His about me has been decoded

Ryan made a comment?

On what video?

[chrome latch]

The one that revealed Ryan's existence

The one where FNF replied "you're next"

[chrome latch]

Also, comments on Dimensional:

[lucid flicker]

Holy Dooley, that’s a lot

[lucid flicker]

Really? I’ll check

No, it’s still there

[lucid flicker]

“He’s still here” comments and description:

[lucid flicker]

For some reason, Ryan saying”WHY ARE YOU HERE” is hilarious to me

[long nexus]

gotchu

[long nexus]

ryan most likely volunteered someone else to go right before him in the experiment

he assumed that he wouldn't have to go at all because it would work

but it didn't and he is next now

the large time gap also means something

[lucid flicker]

No new videos yet

Waaa

[foggy socket]

hm

[celest skiff]

Dreams: 9-22-2010

They took it away again

Ryan

Left

The

Game

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[chrome latch]

They took what away?

[celest skiff]

Another home taken away

Transferred

Away

[long nexus]

yeah he dmed me that

[zealous yarrow]

Same

Isn't dreams a video)

?*

[chrome latch]

DMed it to me too

[long nexus]

he dmed me 6c61626f7261746f727920616e64204d696e656372616674

[long nexus]

laboratory and Minecraft

[long nexus]

according to him some of it was a real life siutation

[lucid flicker]

Hey guys

I’ve been busy all day

Nice! New notifs!

[lucid flicker]

So we now know “Dreams” occurred on 9-22-2010

[lucid flicker]

Well, in the video some photos are Minecraft Alpha, and some are of the “laboratory”

So “Dreams” occurred 2 days before “His Escape”

Also new comments on “Dimensional”

Holy moly they hate each other apparently

@long nexus So in the playlist, Dreams should be after U0 but before HE

[chrome latch]

Was that code decoded?

[zealous yarrow]

Can I see the playlist? Ive missed a lot lol

[oak tartan]

he seems only post every 3 days

[long nexus]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNAKeI6vw1yk9rwYg0MXQh9fdpImml8wb&si=ypFQuYfxNKeqAOkG

[lucid flicker]

Which code?

[lucid flicker]

From this, I’m assuming they have both done something wrong

Ryan says it’s NotFound’s fault, but he also asks himself if he is innocent

[celest skiff]

Correct my friend

Something they must forgive

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[lucid flicker]

Well, I guess I was correct

Thanks NotFound

[lucid flicker]

What in the world?

More lore dump ig?

Can someone log this down?

[chrome latch]

Can we get a mod in here to nuke the spam please?

[long nexus]

there was spam?

[coral magnet]

I posted a single image what are you on about

[foggy socket]

So I guess the discussion is over in this thread?

Seems like Friends._.notfound abandoned ship due to betrayal and failure of something

But he's still in the thread, just offline

[long nexus]

what do you mean

that's literally part of the story

within the experiment was a betrayer

he said that he would be more silent for this period

[foggy socket]

So the failure of something is the failure of an experiment

O k

[celest skiff]

Yes, things aren’t over

Only beginning

[long nexus]

there is the confirmation

[lucid flicker]

Sorry I’ve been gone

I’ve been taking a break from discord for a week

Thought I’d just come check

[coral magnet]

@celest skiff be my friend

[foggy socket]

Replying to fartrash's message upon his friend request to Friends._.notfound

wtv i posted got nothing to with this thread, just putting out here for fun

tho it be interesting if you could translate what this says from wtv dead European language from 15 centuries ago

[lucid flicker]

man, still nothing new

[foggy socket]

Someone from the Forever Lost thread took my message in a dead language as a code/cipher on our thread's Google Slides file

I thought codes/ciphers are completely different from languages/dialects

[lucid flicker]

alr guys, since there is nothing new yet, I'm going to share my current theory

so there is a company called "BSide Industries” and the CEO is Ryan (?) The company would help different game companies, such as Mojang and Nintendo, since we've seen Minecraft and Mario videos, develop complex AIs for their games. The company has been around since at least 1985 because there is a SMB video. Alfie is a person working for BSide Industries, perhaps the 2nd in command. He is working on something more sinister however, and is kidnapping people to take to BSide Industries, because of the many references of "leaving home". He would turn them into AIs for the games, unbeknownst to BSide Industries or the game companies. One person is captured and brought to the facility in 2009, and is first put into Minecraft 0.0.23a_01, and then after some odd occurrences, he/she is transported to a copy of SMB. In 2010, the person is transported into Minecraft Alpha. After a while, Alfie is found out by Ryan, and somehow Aflie dies. Idk if Ryan killed him (maybe why he keeps asking if he is innocent), or if Alfie takes his own life. BSide Industries shuts down and the person is left behind with Alfie in the game (?) Then there is a big time skip into 2023, as the current player is shown on console/bedrock edition. There are many weird things in the bedrock edition videos, so maybe Alfie is in the game (?) NotFound is said to be an observer and not have any major part of the story, but even so, him and Ryan seem to hate each other, with Ryan saying it's NotFound's fault. Alfie's name is also symbolic for "A life", and this has been confirmed by NotFound. Irdk the meaning of Red and White yet, but this is just a temporary theory. I hope we get new information soon. Tell me what you guys think of this theory

[foggy socket]

geez, i was thinking there'd be a lot to decipher from this ARG, i was wrong

there are only like (i guess) 5 ciphers in total while Forever Lost have over 200 ciphers

[lucid flicker]

First irbf–FV is 1-24-ERROR"6V6öæB—&Âf–FVò—2Ó#RÔU%$õ" and Third irbf–FVò—2Ó#BÔU%$õ

[lucid flicker]

wdym? there's been lots of ciphertext

[foggy socket]

how much, just wondering?

[long nexus]

this has had pretty much the same amount

[foggy socket]

oh ok

[long nexus]

keep in mind every comment on every video has a reply

[foggy socket]

i just looked on the Google Slides file for this ARG and saw only 5

[long nexus]

if you make a comment on one of his videos, he replies within a day

[long nexus]

that's hasn't been updated since the second drop

[foggy socket]

ah

[foggy socket]

cuz the other file i am working on, the file gets updated every time new information is given from the game runners

[lucid flicker]

was there anything I missed? and what do you guys think of this?

[foggy socket]

usually either me, Llyon, or Anothershadowz updates it every day or every other day

[lucid flicker]

The Friendsnotfound ARG

Friendsnotfound (ARG)

[celest skiff]

You’re getting closer my friends

[celest skiff]

Soon

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[celest skiff]

No, you falsehood

[zealous yarrow]

Lol

[barren smelt]

HAH! THATS ME!

YOU MENTIONED MY NAME!

[lucid flicker]

Nice!

[lucid flicker]

YAY!

[lucid flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-damn-damn-damn-damn-right-dame-time-gif-18029769

[foggy socket]

yeah, look at their Google Slides tho

bird or OP said they haven't updated the file since the author's second drop of his vids

[coral magnet]

I wanted to be your friend 😦

[chrome latch]

Readding the thread.

[barren smelt]

219+ codes

[foggy socket]

Upon reading, there's one code Anothershadowznow had in B64 which translated to English-Japanese-Arabic text

Using Google Translate, I made out the decipher and translation from there which then started the uploading of the Google Slides/Docs files

[barren smelt]

Where was it

[foggy socket]

You don't remember that text block you had in B64

[barren smelt]

Oh ok

[barren smelt]

But what about the RSA block

[foggy socket]

Which then got like 3 languages out of

RSA?

[barren smelt]

No not that one

The RSA text

That I just sent

[foggy socket]

Anything before the English/Japanese/Arabic B64 you sent, idk and idr

[barren smelt]

What about the emoji xipher

[foggy socket]

Was I right that it was emoji ciphertext?

I was just approximating

[barren smelt]

It was used in friendsnotfound often

That's the hint igavs

Gave

[foggy socket]

Uhuh

Well I haven't been on this thread longer than you

I could try finding a decode for it

But you might wanna ask Ashleigh and Bird about it more,

They probably were here longer than us

[lucid flicker]

Guys look!

Something is happening today!

I’m gonna be refreshing his channel until something new shows up

[long nexus]

same

he also said Today...

[lucid flicker]

GUYS

ITS HERE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLMdzBje7So

[long nexus]

lots of signs

what the hell

seems like fnf left his mark

reappearance of cross

68 74 74 07 33 a2 f2 f7 96 f7 57 47 52 e6 26 52 f3 54 16 16 c4 84 93 55 84 c4 55 10

[pastel finch]

What

[lucid flicker]

Wdym?

Also this might be one of the most confusing vids yet

[long nexus]

he left a sign saying friends not found

[lucid flicker]

Oh, right

Sorry

[lucid flicker]

Did you find out what this was?

[lucid flicker]

ARG stuff

[long nexus]

no

[lucid flicker]

It looks like hexadecimal

Uhhhhhhh

I just tried it, it might be mistyped

Bruh

[chrome latch]

Oh right, FNF also DMed me

Today...

[lucid flicker]

I think he sent that to all of us

[chrome latch]

Probably.

[lucid flicker]

@chrome latch could you try this?

[chrome latch]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

Bird and I didn’t get anything of value

There might be a typo

Which would be sad, because this code was found in the video

[chrome latch]

Yeah, unless it's Base100 I can't get anything out of it

https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#input=NjggNzQgNzQgMDcgMzMgYTIgZjIgZjcgOTYgZjcgNTcgNDcgNTIgZTYgMjYgNTIgZjMgNTQgMTYgMTYgYzQgODQgOTMgNTUgODQgYzQgNTUgMTA

Here you go if you want to try yourself

[celest skiff]

Sorry for the error

https://youtu.be/5AalHI5XLEQ

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[long nexus]

knew something was off

@lucid flicker @chrome latch

[chrome latch]

Yeah, I saw

[lucid flicker]

Nice! Thanks NotFound!

Oh dear

Very big lore drop

Kinda scary actually

And a new person was mentioned: Jeana Marcom

And we found out Alfie’s last name, Gendall

And “BS1d3” is actually code for “BSide”

Tomorrow, I’m gonna make a list of anomalies in the past few videos

We need to update the Google slides too

Also, New Home takes place 8-8-2023, same day as Making Progress

My theory is that after the player dies in Making Progress, he respawns and the events in New Home take place

Because the comment on New Home says, “His respawn broke again”

[barren smelt]

try the non-problematic bytes

[lucid flicker]

And Title not found takes place 4-1-2010, according to the description

[barren smelt]

Anyone analyzed this vid yet?

[lucid flicker]

I’ve watched it, idk about analyzing either of the new videos in depth yet

Be my guest

I’m gonna go sleep

Gunight!

[long nexus]

he said it was broken

so he sent the video

i see where it was broken because the first few letters was https

[barren smelt]

yea

[celest skiff]

No, but it is very important that you do

This is the closest you’ve come

To the end

Don’t drift off the path now

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[barren smelt]

i aint analyzing it cuz i worry it too scary for me

[lucid flicker]

Don’t worry, it’s not very scary as in visually

[lucid flicker]

Really? Nice

@long nexus could you add the new videos into the playlist?

The dates are in the descriptions

[barren smelt]

what about audio

[lucid flicker]

It can be loud, but that’s all

There are jumpscares

But they aren’t really scary

Just loud and startling

[long nexus]

gimme 5

[lucid flicker]

Righto

I wonder if we will see more about Jeana Marcom

Since she was mentioned in the Title Not Found video

[lucid flicker]

?????

Uhhhhhh

Okay?

[winter raptor]

After something.

[long nexus]

don't think he's part of the arg

[lucid flicker]

Dude, idk what this is, but please don’t be another mecha

This is distracting to the actual codes in the ARG

[winter raptor]

Don't mind

[lucid flicker]

Okay, sorry

[winter raptor]

I know

[lucid flicker]

Me neither

[winter raptor]

It's something else

I don't know what to do about it

So I posted it here

[lucid flicker]

Maybe you could make a thread for it?

[winter raptor]

Hmm

It's no video

Just text

[lucid flicker]

You can still make a thread about it, I think

[winter raptor]

I decoded it

Idk

[long nexus]

he sent me an image

[zealous yarrow]

Same

He said to remember it

[celest skiff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW5P9wiVBYs

The continuation of New Home

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[barren smelt]

he sent ALLOFUS tis

[long nexus]

buddy's hiding his clues in this arg

😭

[barren smelt]

????? Wdym

[long nexus]

ALLOFUS tis sounds like a code ngl

[chrome latch]

I highly recommend just blocking them.

[long nexus]

they run another arg in this server , one that i am a part of

[vapid abyss]

Why do you recommend it?

[chrome latch]

Because this isn't the only channel they do this in

[vapid abyss]

Wdym this?

[chrome latch]

Trying to get people to go to other channels

[vapid abyss]

That's smth I made to help with the investigations

[lucid flicker]

Hey guys

I’ve returned to discord

So sorry I didn’t tell you guys

@long nexus I’ll get to work marking down the anomalies

[lucid flicker]

This video is the weirdest for sure

Making Progress Anomalies:
1:39, video cut
2:56, video cut + whatever you’d call this
3:08, video cut
6:35, player finds a hole to the void
7:41, video cut
7:53, escape hole has been walled up with bedrock

He’s Still Here Anomalies:
0:04, ERROR text flashes on screen
0:18, NO text and Red flash on screen
0:22, Picture gets covered in blood (?)
0:28, He is someone text and White flashes on screen
0:29, Videos similar to Home and The Summit videos start playing

Also, I just noticed Ryan and NotFound’s replies on He’s still here:

Not really any anomalies in Dreams, just pictures of Minecraft and BSide Industries play with a distorted track of ShaBoom

No anomalies in His Escape either, just a darkened image of bedrock lattice

Dimensional Anomalies:
0:04, Picture of Red and White in players house with No More Life text flashes
0:15, Picture of Red and White entering an unknown MC structure with It Can’t Be Him text flashes
0:22, video colors distort
0:24, picture of BSide Industries flashes

I’m gonna take a break

Study the new videos a bit more

Here’s the images that flash after the “some ai have gone…wrong…” text shows up in the Title Not Found video:

[lucid flicker]

That says “Aerial Deduction”

What that could mean, Irdk

He did say it’s important tho

[lucid flicker]

Guys, ETPRE has comments now:

#1231748884750012507 message does anyone know where this place is?

Cause it’s clearly a real place

[lucid lodge]

Probably 1285 Estate Drive Ridge Dale MO 65739

Or somewhere nearby

That might not be the actual building

[foggy socket]

yeah you said nearby

if not the actual location

hmmm

[lucid lodge]

The sign is on a wooden post infront of a lodge area. The words indicate that this is a parking lot

[foggy socket]

Wood post?

Probably have to view closer on Google Maps, the image is unclear

[lucid lodge]

Possibly

[chrome latch]

Sorry I haven't been active, life's been hell for a while now

[lucid flicker]

#video-ideas message

I hope we get new stuff soon

[lucid lodge]

You know, I saw this YouTube account comment on the latest RGN video

[lucid flicker]

You did?

What did he say?

[lucid lodge]

"Great work my friends. Over and Out 🙂."

[lucid flicker]

Huh

He likes to say that, doesn’t he

[lucid lodge]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

I wonder if it means something

The over and out part

[long nexus]

replies of the pinned comment

[chrome latch]

Amazing

I'm adding "Seek employment IRL" to my list of cursed insults.

[lucid lodge]

liking that comment

[chrome latch]

I suppose there were trolls that they were responding to and FUNF nuked them.

So now we have... "out of time, out of place" comments.

[lucid lodge]

FUNF?

[chrome latch]

Friends.underscore.notfound

[lucid lodge]

oh

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus can you add the new videos to the playlist?

[long nexus]

could you send them here

[lucid flicker]

Sure, do you want the dates? Or the videos and the dates

[long nexus]

both

[lucid flicker]

Alr

New Home and Entity.Tag.Player are both 8-8-2024

So after Making Progress, but before He’s still here

Title not found is 4-1-2010

So between Dreams and His Escape

Also, Google slides isn’t working for me rn

So I can’t help with that unfortunately

#1231748884750012507 message this and downwards is where you’ll find the anomaly lists

[long nexus]

it's 9pm

[lucid flicker]

Oh

[long nexus]

can u ping me tomorrow to do the rest of this

[lucid flicker]

Sorry

[lucid flicker]

Yes

[long nexus]

it's fine

[lucid flicker]

I’m sorry for interrupting you

[long nexus]

nah i wasn't doing anything

i gotta go in 1 minute tho so

[lucid flicker]

Ahh

Well gn then

It’s late rn for us

[long nexus]

yeah we need to update the slides a lot lol

[lucid flicker]

Can someone pin this

Also no new videos

[lucid lodge]

Ask bird to edit their message to add the docs to their slideshow link

[lucid flicker]

Okay

@long nexus

[long nexus]

there

[lucid flicker]

Can someone pin this too?

[lucid lodge]

Not pin worthy

[lucid flicker]

Alr

[vapid abyss]

I'll work on my friendsnotfound slides

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus I know it’s probably early, but when you get the chance, can you add https://youtu.be/5AalHI5XLEQ?si=OvcY_nHfLKEVt8K6 to the playlist? It should go between Dreams and His Escape

[lucid flicker]

Guys

FUNF just DMd me the word “soon”

I think new videos are coming

Keep an eye out

[long nexus]

yay!

[lucid flicker]

🥳

[long nexus]

@lucid flicker ryan upload

[lucid flicker]

Good!

Here’s a link: https://youtu.be/dDlHAChxZdc?si=dP72gIu0SlEY0Vfh

Very odd video, seems to be an edited version of Playernotfound

But on Ryan’s channel

Huh

I asked him what it meant

[long nexus]

the description lol

[lucid flicker]

Agreed

“Go screw yourself”

I wonder why they hate each other

NO WAY

FUNF UPLOAD!

https://youtu.be/cLznj14Akyk?si=XR4xh8FJGUluSR0w

[long nexus]

yeah lol

desc has hxkxs://jrywo.dx/7AN2FCX3a10?ai=u04qA_Z0jYjVYljH

[lucid flicker]

Wow

This one was weird

[long nexus]

not ceaser

[lucid flicker]

Like really weird

[lucid flicker]

Rot 13?

[long nexus]

ceaser is rot13

[lucid flicker]

Oh

Whups

[lucid lodge]

Rot13 = caesar lmao

[lucid flicker]

I forgot

Sorry

[long nexus]

@chrome latch can u brighten up the start of the video?

[lucid flicker]

Maybe it’s a key cipher?

[long nexus]

ima try substitute

[lucid lodge]

Viginère?

[chrome latch]

Is it in the playlist yet?

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

No

[long nexus]

tried mario as a code

[lucid flicker]

Date is 8-9-2023

[lucid flicker]

Good idea

[long nexus]

where do i put it

don't know the timeline lol

[chrome latch]

Lode: Huh?

[lucid flicker]

Are there any words that FUNF has said that might work?

[lucid flicker]

After Playernotfound

Wait a moment

[long nexus]

second to last?

[lucid flicker]

Ye

#1231748884750012507 message

He said it would be important

What does it say tho

“AerialDeduction”?

Try that

[chrome latch]

I'll be back when someone puts it somewhere in the playlist

[lucid flicker]

👍

[long nexus]

OMG

IT WORKED

[chrome latch]

Also, please stop pinging me.

[lucid flicker]

Oh yeah!

@long nexus what did you get?

[long nexus]

https://youtu.be/7SZ2SCT3j10?si=j04nW_W0pWqNKyjD

[long nexus]

sorry

[lucid flicker]

Here we go

[chrome latch]

You pinged again

[lucid flicker]

Huh

[long nexus]

damn

[lucid flicker]

Lol

[long nexus]

me not smart (i turned off ping)

[lucid flicker]

He put a fake video

It says it was the wrong way

[long nexus]

what does light do in the dark?

[lucid flicker]

Brighten?

[long nexus]

lol

[lucid flicker]

Maybe there’s a code hidden in the video?

And you have to brighten it

[long nexus]

we need to brighten the other video

i'll do that rq

[lucid flicker]

Which one?

Transferred?

Probably that one

Man, this ARG just keeps getting better and better

Also comments on Transferred:

Just finished watching Transferred and omg, it’s definitely the scariest video

I genuinely jumped at the Mario 64 section

Where it goes black and starts glitching

I really like ARGs that use multiple mediums

[long nexus]

god damn

hes in an adventure mode

in a completely different house

[lucid flicker]

Huh

[long nexus]

its a 3x4

3 blocks tall

windows all around

[lucid flicker]

Can you send a screenshot?

[long nexus]

ill send the entire video

lol

just gimme a sec

[lucid flicker]

Okay

How do you know that he’s in adventure mode?

[long nexus]

he tries breaking the window an dbed

[lucid flicker]

Oh

[long nexus]

they break pretyt instant

[lucid flicker]

Makes sense

[long nexus]

from what ive seen, there are no codes

[lucid flicker]

The whole video?

[long nexus]

yeah

but we still go new inf

[lucid flicker]

I’ll try

[long nexus]

so heres my events:

[lucid flicker]

We did

[zinc spear]

hi

[lucid flicker]

Hello

[long nexus]

he breaks mushroom -> appears in house -> dies -> appears at portal -> goes throuhg -> super mario -> beats it -> super mario 64 -> glitchy part

[lucid flicker]

Isn’t the mushroom part the ending of the Playernotfound video?

I just checked, neither of the videos have codes

[long nexus]

you brightned it?

[lucid flicker]

I wonder if it got lost in the video compression

[lucid flicker]

Ye

Didn’t see much

Then again, I’m on mobile

The Wrong Way video is just a black screen

Is there a way to get a better quality version?

[long nexus]

nah

not really

i think we approaching wrong

[lucid flicker]

Maybe

Irdk

So where would it be?

Assuming there’s even another code at all

He could have just meant being able to see the house

[long nexus]

WAIT

[lucid flicker]

What is it?

[long nexus]

IT SAYS DOTH LIGHT

SHAKESPEARE QUOTE

[lucid flicker]

Okay?

Wait

Could that mean something?

[long nexus]

wait

[lucid flicker]

Also, just realized this, the house at the beginning of the video is very similar to the one in Discovery.1

[long nexus]

it can't have two vignere codes

[lucid flicker]

Lol we’re saying wait a lot

[long nexus]

so we are approaching it wrong

[lucid flicker]

Should I DM? Or wait?

I’ll wait

I feel like all he wanted us to see was the house

But idk

So happy we finally got new videos tho

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

Learned a lot too

First Mario 64 and Nether Portal appearances

Also, the quality of the video is INCREDIBLY bad

I don’t know if that’s intentional or not lol

[long nexus]

lol yeah

it's 100% to replicate a CRT

[lucid flicker]

Makes sense

Unless it actually is one

Jk, I know you probably can’t record on a crt

[lucid flicker]

Are you interested in this?

[zinc spear]

HM

MAYBE

[lucid flicker]

Why all caps

[zinc spear]

srry

[lucid flicker]

It’s all good

👍

@chrome latch transferred is in the playlist

[chrome latch]

Can you not ping?

[lucid flicker]

Sorry

Did I interrupt you?

Sorry if I did

[chrome latch]

Yes

Do not ping me ever unless I give prior authorisation

[lucid flicker]

👍

[chrome latch]

And they do it again

[lucid flicker]

Wait, does replying ping you?

[chrome latch]

YES!

[lucid flicker]

Didn’t know that

Sorry again

[chrome latch]

It has since the feature was introduced!

[lucid flicker]

Look, I’m sorry if you are mad, I won’t do it again

@long nexus What’s your theory for the current story thus far?

[long nexus]

the person being put in video games has suffered from some illness

to prevent him from dying, they put him in his favorite game of minecraft

recently they tried his other favorites, like mario

[chrome latch]

Wow

Surprisingly dark.

I like it.

[lucid flicker]

Very nice!

But what about Ryan and the BSide Industries?

#1231748884750012507 message This is my theory, what do you think?

Whatever the story is, it’s definitely darker than most ARGs

Maybe we’ll get more story explanation rather than new story elements?

I sure hope so

NO WAY ANOTHER RYAN UPLAOD: https://youtu.be/7T70XEK1WTA?si=-fFTfS175_u31aSO

LETS GOOOO

Pffft

Bro heard me lol

Gunshot at 0:27

Also, text at the end is the Aerial Deduction text, but at the end, it flashes “He was human”

Wow

Why is this so dark 😭

I love it tho

Quite unique

[chrome latch]

I'd love to look, but my nails are drying

This reminds me a lot of the NOC+10 series

[long nexus]

the patient is most likely the person stuck in mc

[lucid flicker]

What’s that?

[lucid flicker]

Probably

[chrome latch]

...

why ping

[lucid flicker]

🤦‍♂️

Man, I gotta get used to that

So sorry

Anyways, what could the gunshot and “Aerial Deduction” mean?

[chrome latch]

Gunshot is pretty clear

Someone got murderised

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, but who?

[chrome latch]

Possibly the now braindead body of the patient

[lucid flicker]

Maybe

But “Aerial Deduction”?

[chrome latch]

(also, I've not had a chance to watch the full ARG yet either)

[lucid flicker]

Oh

[chrome latch]

(so anything I say here is conjecture synthesised from what I've read so far)

[lucid flicker]

I’m pretty sure Ryan is the one who murderised the patient, because the person talking to him says “Ryan?” Right before the gunshot, the video is titled “I’m sorry”, and the description says “no longer innocent”

[chrome latch]

Oh, that's not sensical

It can't be the patient then.

Because the patient is in the game now, no?

[lucid flicker]

Hold on

What if the person talking to him is Alfie?

[chrome latch]

Alright, I gotta watch this thing

[lucid flicker]

And Alfie is the one who took the patient, and Ryan killed him, causing the company to disband?

[chrome latch]

Let me finish fixing this album in Jellyfin, then I'll watch this beast of a thing

[lucid flicker]

And now Alfie is in the game (somehow) with the patient (which is what I’ll be referring to the main player from now one)

There are some videos not in the playlist yet tho

So remember that

Those videos being “Destroyed”-Ryan “I’m sorry”-Ryan “Wrong Way”-FUNF

Another thing, who is the CEO that (supposedly) Alfie refers to?

[chrome latch]

Well, IRL CEOs are known for rushing unfinished products for the holiday rush, even if it makes a potentially dangerous product.

Perhaps the patient was just a willing test subject, but the CEO's greed led to them being trapped.

Ah finally, the beast has been contained

Alright, any idea when Bird's gonna add the videos?

[long nexus]

there

i did it

it's 11pm lol

[long nexus]

in general unfinished projects

boeing moment

sorry for the ping

just realized

[lucid flicker]

👍

Gn guys

Lore drops today going crazy

[lucid flicker]

Guys

What do you think the sound at the end of Im sorry could be?

[lucid flicker]

What could be the horrible event that’s about to happen?

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus 1-10 how would you rate this ARG

[long nexus]

i would say an 8

its great, just has some current fall off points (like lack of activity, then tons of uploads, then lack of activity), aand the story seems to be slightly inconsistant

[lucid flicker]

What’s inconsistent?

[long nexus]

on the home video

[lucid flicker]

What, he gave you a heart?

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

What do you think it means?

[long nexus]

probably nothing

just thought it was funny

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

Imma check the comments real quick

New AFS comments

Lol looks like my friend discovered this ARG

[long nexus]

lol

i wonder how he found this discord btw

he appeared pretty early on

[lucid flicker]

I showed him RGN a while back

Oh, you mean FUNF?

Idk then

[long nexus]

yeah

[lucid flicker]

I thought you meant Cooper

[long nexus]

nah i was talking about FUNF

[lucid flicker]

He hasn’t been active on discord in a while

[lucid flicker]

Man, I’m genuinely having nightmares from those “friend inside me” images that Mecha sent in the thread

[coral magnet]

thanks big buddy

[lucid flicker]

Sorry Mecha

[lucid flicker]

Nothing new yet…

This arg needs a better upload schedule

Has anyone been DMd?

[chrome latch]

Negative.

[vapid abyss]

Nah, 10-10.

[lucid flicker]

GUYS

I JUST GOT A FUNF DM

NEW VID TODAY!!!!!!!!! 🚨🚨🚨

HE SAID IT SHOULD BE COMING SOON, AND THA IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS YET

AND THAT IT WOULD BE THE HORRIBLE EVENT THAT HE MENTIONED IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF TRANSFERRED

Also sorry for all caps

[long nexus]

woohoo

[lucid flicker]

But seriously, this arg needs a better upload schedule for real

Just random videos at random times ig

But maybe that’s a good thing

Because that way we get more hyped about new vids?

[long nexus]

that's how all args are

[lucid flicker]

True

This is also the most he’s ever leaked about a video

Because he said it would be the horrible event

Another thing, his more recent videos have all had the previous video as the start, and have all been right after each other

ITS HERE

https://youtu.be/Zs-Bfz9xoi4?si=jbQNcw6-6p-n5CxR

Oh my goodness

This video is actually terrifying

Lots of real life

Flashbacks to prior videos

Friendsnotfound

[long nexus]

ok

the outside is from the perspective of a kid (screaming sounded young?)

he got hurt

[versed thorn]

hello

[long nexus]

the last image the slowly zooms in shows his body?

it's way too low quality

[versed thorn]

whats this bout

[long nexus]

now this happened last year

so this is the first 2023 event?

[lucid flicker]

No, the bedrock edition Minecraft vids were in 2023

[lucid flicker]

What would he be screaming about?

Wait a minute

Horrible event

What if this is him getting taken to BSide Industries?

And this is the player, beacause of the flashback scenes???

But wait, if it’s 2023, I couldn’t be BSide Industries

WHAT IF HE LEFT THE GAME???

Because this happens right after he goes through a door in Mario 64

And what if the screaming wasn’t him, but someone else?

Maybe the zoom in is of someone else, and he is screaming because the player came back???

This ARG is dark as heck man

[lucid flicker]

An ARG that we are trying to solve

Another thing, what was the audio that was playing during the Minecraft segments and the end of the video?

And the first 2 Minecraft segments seem to be an undarkened clip from the house in Transferred

Also here is the description:

[versed thorn]

It seems interesting

What is about?

Im gonna take a deep dive into this

[lucid lodge]

Bird can I dm you

[long nexus]

sure

what hapepned

@lucid lodge

[vapid abyss]

I got notified of the new vid

Angela, run archival efforts on it

(a.k.a. add it to your website mcarg arch)

[chrome latch]

Is it in the playlist?

If so, it'll be there automatically

[long nexus]

it is now

so i noticed a few things

and there seems to be two pair of legs

so one was a child(?) in an accident with a car

and someone driving it

the child screams multiple times

and the last image is before, as we see the child standing

[lucid flicker]

But the outside seems to take place in someone’s backyard

Why would there be a car in someone’s backyard?

[lucid flicker]

Here’s what I’ve found:

[lucid flicker]

It is

[lucid flicker]

👍

[chrome latch]

Drunk driver

Going too fast, loses control, runs into a backyard and kills someone

Happens all the time IRL

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, but look how small it is

It can’t be a real car

[foggy socket]

Idk if it would make a difference if you rewatched the videos on your phone

As for one of the YT updates, you can play/pause ⏯️ the video and zoom in/out to watch the video

Level of difficulty 🎚️ unknown if the vehicle used to kill someone was a car or of some other vehicle of that size

[lucid flicker]

FriendsNotFound upload!

https://youtu.be/wi7ErfVTGKY?si=UML0_0wnvROAguXy

@long nexus description says 8-9-2023

[lucid flicker]

Guys

I think we now know the name of the player

Comment on Backtonormality???

[lucid flicker]

Where’d everybody go?

[chrome latch]

I've gotten wrapped up in Things™️ and Stuff™️

[barren smelt]

nowhere. W3e werie tirhgt here

E were righ5 here*

We were right here*

Phone ketabpard..

[long nexus]

life

i got finals soon so i am very busy

[lucid flicker]

I am sorry, sometimes I need to remember that people have their own things that are more important than solving some arg. I am sorry that I bothered you

[foggy socket]

Other than Anothershadowznow, everyone have other stuff to do like school, work, and personal reasons

[long nexus]

its fine

[chrome latch]

Borb, can you update the playlist at least?

[long nexus]

i have

[chrome latch]

Thank you

[lucid flicker]

so, did anyone notice anything in the video?

besides the beginning, which seemed to have a better look at that kid, who was holding something, it seemed to be more normal than the previous vids

probably why the video is called "back to normality???"

also, the player's name was revealed to be "Johann Davidson"

[lucid flicker]

Retro commented on Retrival:

Also, can someone reverse the audio for Retrieval? I feel like the audio is reversed, and idk how to do that

[lucid flicker]

Also here is the description for BTN (backtonormality???)

[celest skiff]

Hello my friends

I am back

The last 2 documentations I have published contain very important information. Please pay attention

@long nexus @chrome latch @lucid flicker

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[chrome latch]

Acknowledged.

[lucid flicker]

Hey FUNF

Long time no see

Alr, I’ll start looking thru the vids

[long nexus]

@chrome latch @lucid flicker can u dm some screenshots of all ur talks with FUNF

i wanna get the slides done today

[lucid flicker]

Okay

He deleted some DMs tho

[chrome latch]

I believe mine are already in the archive

[lucid flicker]

They just said “soon”

I think there were two

[chrome latch]

I also have some DMs you two have sent me in there

[celest skiff]

[1990.file/Zolph{ERROR}.exe]

Goodbye my friends

Over and out

🙂

[long nexus]

zolph

[barren smelt]

what

[vapid abyss]

Alright??

[vapid abyss]

F.U.N.F. said this somewhere else:

[lucid flicker]

What?

[lucid flicker]

Where did he say this?

[lucid lodge]

https://discord.com/channels/773771861812183080/1249271454629892197

[lucid flicker]

Huh

I wonder why

[lucid flicker]

Alr, now that I’m back on discord I can share my findings on the vids

So in Retrival, the Minecraft scenes (in order) are from Transferred (sky house) and PNF (when he goes around the black box)

In the beginning of BTN, the player (Johann Davidson?) is still in real life, and we see the kid again, but his face is blocked out. He is also holding something, but that is blocked out too.

When the player returns to Minecraft, there are some inventory differences

The bedrock room he enters is the same as the one in New Home, except with some changes, including lava and iron doors and a whole new room with a giant floating crafting table

Here is the jumpscare image:

Seems to be a tree from the product image of Minecraft, with backwards audio

Also here is the symbol in the trapped chest at the end:

[foggy socket]

HK's subway system logo for MTR /j

Tbh, not sure what that symbol stands for

The closest Chinese character it looks like to me is 米, which is termed for rice grains 🍚🌾

[lucid flicker]

Might be a symbol specifically for the arg then

Keep an eye out if it appears again

[foggy socket]

Just looks like a black-and-white photo with some yellow and purple corners, probably the video quality

[foggy socket]

No, actually fr

[lucid flicker]

Huh

Idk if that’s intentional or not, but that’s interesting

Kinda like how Ryan’s pfp looks like a military regiment symbol or smth I don’t really remember

[celest skiff]

[foggy socket]

Who's Ryan?

[lucid flicker]

Ryan Harshas

[lucid flicker]

This is the first coded message we’ve gotten in a while

Hang on,

“My friends, new parts of the story are to be revealed soon. My fri3nds are waiting :]”

Huh

This will be interesting

[vapid abyss]

Through a BASE-16 decoder reveals:
/// My friends, new parts of the story are to be revealed soon. My fri3nds are waiting :] ///

[foggy socket]

^ that's literally what Lodenium just posted here

[lucid flicker]

I wonder the word “friends” has a 3 instead of an E

And what the “new parts of the story are”

• he says his friends are waiting for him

[long nexus]

maybe means there are 3 people in the experiment or 3 friends

[long nexus]

yeah furthers the idea of more people helping him

[barren smelt]

backtonormality is eeriely similar to backtoadminspace from m101 and both have similar abbrev. (B T N & B T A )

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, but I just noticed, back to normality is no longer one big word, it has spaces now:

[barren smelt]

why is no one on this thrwad except me llyon zenerg and skmetimws bird

[lucid flicker]

Don’t forget me

I’m here too

[foggy socket]

yes, don't forget the operator

[lucid flicker]

No new vids in a while

[barren smelt]

used to be pretty active huh?

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, he did say new stuff would come soon

A new part of the story

BE NICE

you're being really really rude buddy

[barren smelt]

POV: u were rude and disrespectful to lodenium when they told u to STOP

https://tenor.com/view/watchdogs-dedsec-wdl-wrench-gif-5990500820630093012

[lucid lodge]

Insane

[coral magnet]

"POV" ???

[lucid lodge]

:(

This is the consequence of posting irrelevant stuff here

You get annoyed by this guy for LIFE

[barren smelt]

by who?

[foggy socket]

you

[barren smelt]

point of view

[foggy socket]

User: posts irrelevant stuff
the shadow: smacks you with absurd codes and the GIF of the Talos Solace Albion Cruiser

[lucid lodge]

Absurd codes that are more irrelevant

[coral magnet]

if this is considered absurd to you then you must have some really low standards dude

[barren smelt]

i told u to stop this madness?

Mecha

How long hv u been doin this

[foggy socket]

if Mecha's postings of irrelevancy is madness or something that people ask to stop but mecha never does, yk we have a mod on this thread channel right?

[barren smelt]

ig

we can go that route

[foggy socket]

if Shimmering agrees this is necessary

then we could ask erhmee for help

[lucid lodge]

Bro I can just delete them myself

[foggy socket]

is that something only people in Creeper level can do or anyone can do? cuz i don't anything in the drop-down where i can unsee the message post

[lucid lodge]

No

[barren smelt]

shim has helper role
helpers are meant to keep peace when staff are away
thats how shim can pin messages, delete messages, etc

[foggy socket]

ahh... nice

[coral magnet]

errrr....... how is this irrelevant?

the channel is literally called friendsnotfound and I'm posting about friends buddy

[lucid lodge]

Not the right friends 😔

[barren smelt]

literally what loden said in the past

?yoUjusTdonTknoW what he meant

loden is right

you must stop

[coral magnet]

its called dark humour liberal...... of course yuo wouldnt understad.......

[barren smelt]

?yoUjusTdonTknoW the word "stop"

[lucid lodge]

Calm down conservative. It's called light humor... 🙄

Mark101 looking user

But yeah please stop posting the woody creepypasta thing even though they literally have the same name as the gamerunner's discord user. Thank you 🙏

[lucid lodge]

Also stay on topic without saying gibberish (rule 2)

[barren smelt]

finally this debate is over now lets get back to solvin the arg

[coral magnet]

Has there been anything more?

[lucid flicker]

Not yet

That we know of

One thing that’s been bothering me tho

The audio during the Minecraft scenes and the ending of “Retrival”

It just sounds so wrong

Maybe it’s backwards?

Does anyone have the equipment to do that?

[lucid flicker]

Guys?

Is anyone able to reverse audio?

I don’t have the equipment to do it

[lucid lodge]

I can’t download it

One of you will have to do it

Wdym. This software is pretty lightweight
