jhgia://liywf.jj/f4y2ORtUf7S?kk=qCeH6mcGMS5hbEns

not ceaser cipher :/

i'm brute forcing it (manually)

ok it might be vigninere

did some cracking

it starts with continuedlife

the key

here's the chart

google how to use it

https://youtu.be/b4w2AEaMs7Y?gh=fUzD6koTTK5uhAkh

you get this

but it's invalid

so you can't really get any better links after this

@celest skiff we might need you to finish the key for us 🙂

[barren smelt]

Vigenere table?

[long nexus]

encoding table yeah

[vapid abyss]

continuedlife????
We need to find more parts, the keyword is continuedlife- followed by some other letters

Can anyone help with this?

[long nexus]

yeah i went letter by letter in the key until i got https://youtu.be

however u can't get the last part cuz idk what the url would be

wait what

we missed this in "new home"

tffbe://kagfg.nq/5MmxTU5JXQC?eu=7N4wvyHFKcF4VlKz

it leads back to title not found

dang

there we go i found the key 🙂

[long nexus]

https://youtu.be/b4n2KZbHb7A?si=cPlZ6ziCJH5zwAco

spectrogram maybe?

spectrogram came up with this

[celest skiff]

Reversal

[lucid flicker]

Woah

I missed a lot

Nice work! 👍

[lucid flicker]

Maybe this means reverse the audio?

@long nexus

Okay, so in the Old Home video, the player (Johann Davidson) walks on a cobblestone path, and he is holding a mine-cart. He walks towards a big pyramid, and the video cuts. He is in a room, and then leaves

Here is the comment on Old Home:

Also, the clue video is the first video not to have a description

Here is the full description of Old Home:

The date on it is 11-3-2022

Remember that for the playlist

Also the first video to be in 2022

[long nexus]

i already put in playlist

[lucid flicker]

Were you able to reverse the audio?

[vapid abyss]

Doesn't seem like anything I can make out the shape of.

[lucid flicker]

Guys FUNF said reversal

I think he means to reverse the audio

The audio on the clue video

[barren smelt]

woi funf can you please use sstv in a puzzle

[long nexus]

ok i reversed it

[long nexus]

"No one is left, except for me"

i'll send an exported version later, it's just that i'm on my phone rn

[lucid flicker]

Oh wow

So no one is left except for FUNF?

[barren smelt]

or prob he means no one is left in the lore context not meaning us ourselves

[lucid flicker]

That’s what I meant

But how could no one be left?

Cause Ryan is left

• the player is kinda left

I hope it will be explained soon

Irdk

[barren smelt]

More theori

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus are you able to send the reversed audio now?

[long nexus]

nope

[lucid flicker]

Are you able to send it now?

[long nexus]

you can try doing it urself the thing i used was online but it required a signup to export

[lucid flicker]

Okay

Oh wait

I forgot that capcut has a reversal thing

Here it is reversed:

“No one was left, except for (me/you?)”

I can’t tell if the last word is “me” or “you”

Also, this might be FUNF voice reveal

It’s just very distorted

[barren smelt]

nythin else

[lucid flicker]

?

[barren smelt]

anythign else

?

[lucid flicker]

Anyone have anything?

Like theories and such?

Or any dms from FUNF?

[lucid flicker]

I hope we don’t have to wait a long while again

I really want to see how this story pans out

[barren smelt]

waits a long while

@celest skiff sorry for ping but we need something more

[lucid flicker]

New video

@long nexus

[long nexus]

pfidj://rohvy.jq/EUX21jJ4Vq4?wq=CX4aF-QM-X345f8D

code in description

the key is importance (community post)

https://youtu.be/PGG21qJ4Io4?si=QI4mO-XM-K345d8Z

[lucid flicker]

Oh wow

That was unsettling

Someone said “hey get back here” before the POV started running

• the scream

Also a kids face blacked out

Words “I’m here dad” “come and find me”

And the title

“Running away”

(I’m guessing that’s the actual title because the rest is numbers and stuff)

[lucid flicker]

The words at the end of Sorrow:

Also there was a sign in the video:

Can anyone tell what it says?

[lucid flicker]

New Ryan video: https://youtu.be/zj2-w0jK2I8?si=GbsYDt1pjXhbUs0H

@long nexus

[long nexus]

page with friend friend friend

and torus with he is coming

[lucid flicker]

Picture that flashes in the running away video

[lucid flicker]

Also, the further down the page, the messier the handwriting gets, and the dirtier the page gets

[lucid flicker]

It’s the white guy from the previous vids

Haven’t seen him in a bit

And is the white guy asking to be friends? Or the POV?

Idk

[lucid flicker]

No offense guys, but am I the only one left investigating this?

[barren smelt]

what is that shape

black hole?

[lucid flicker]

It’s the white dude

[barren smelt]

u me zener bird llyon

[lucid flicker]

He and red dude have been in a lot of unlisted vids

Usually you have to brighten the image to see them, but this time you don’t

They are referred to as “his” friends and observers

We don’t really know their story importance yet tho

Friends Not Found

[barren smelt]

how am i supposed tl make the shape

[lucid flicker]

What?

[barren smelt]

how am i suppose to make out the spaw

shape

[lucid flicker]

I’m so confused

What are you trying to make out?

[barren smelt]

the shape

[lucid flicker]

What shape?

There are many on the picture

[barren smelt]

THAT IMAGE

[lucid flicker]

Oh

What about it

The middle bit is from the video

[barren smelt]

How am i supposed to know what the image is.

[lucid flicker]

That image pops up for a split second

[lucid flicker]

#1231748884750012507 message

This should help

👍

[barren smelt]

bruhhhhh

I read that

[lucid flicker]

To be honest I don’t know

It looks like white saying “friend’s?”

And white is a reoccurring character

Usually in darkened images or far in the background

And white (along with red) have been referred to as Johann’s friends/observerers

Which would explain why white said “friends” in the image

I think

[foggy socket]

What are you doing? You aren't meant to be here.

[lucid flicker]

Thank you!

That’s very helpful actually

Also odd

So that place the player (Johann) is in, he isn’t supposed to be

Or maybe its talking about us

That we shouldn’t be there

[barren smelt]

How do u know

And what is more like ly

[lucid flicker]

I was thinking

I don’t know anything for real

[foggy socket]

i wonder if the falling static is supposed to be some kinda Morse code

[lucid flicker]

Just theorizing

[lucid flicker]

Ooh

[foggy socket]

and if it is, what's it supposed to read

?

[lucid flicker]

I don’t know

[barren smelt]

try it

[foggy socket]

as it is the case with other Internet mysteries/ARGs, the static lines/dots can sometimes be Morse and give something related/unrelated to the theme

[lucid flicker]

How’d you remove all of the static from the image btw

That’s pretty cool

[foggy socket]

pressing , and . buttons while the YT video is on pause

[lucid flicker]

Okay

Ty

[foggy socket]

also, you can zoom into the video while it's in play or pause

as you can also do on mobile

this is all the static Morse i got from the video Sorrow by friends-underscore-not-found

Making the image skinny, I get this

Now, either me or someone gonna have to painstakingly manually copy it down using - and . to get the computerized Morse code and decode what it says

Chances , it is just gibberish, idk

[long nexus]

bruh i just solved a cipher

[lucid flicker]

Sorry

I was quite rude

[long nexus]

nah it's fine

[long nexus]

it's not gonna be morse code

it's a generic static effect that u can find online

[foggy socket]

Hm ok

[lucid flicker]

Hey @long nexus

If it helps, I can be in charge of the playlist now

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhM-pu2V3b6a5EOJlezKtEAe4FJs3pRgR&si=NBlk3p0OSR1GGRGO

Someone pin this please

[vapid abyss]

It has already been pinned, check pins first before saying something needs to be pinned

[lucid flicker]

It’s a new one

A new playlist

[long nexus]

ok i'll replace the link in the pinned

[lucid flicker]

Alr

This should be easier than telling you the dates

[long nexus]

ok

done

[lucid flicker]

👍

[foggy socket]

Idk if it's already noted in regards to https://youtu.be/PGG21qJ4Io4?si=QI4mO-XM-K345d8Z

Where Dad says to runner, "Come and find me", filtering the image with Downlight and turning up the brightness to 100 shows a hidden face with a black rectangle covering the eyes/nose/hair

Where the runner is back in Minecraft and holding a minecart in slot 1/9 in the on-hand, filtering the image to Yellow Glow shows runner is standing in front of a chest and sign in a dirt-bedrock room

At the bottom of the static screen, a string of letters can be seen, what I made out of it could be different from what you make out of

ZYYHIOKZX```
is what I made out from the static screen

[lucid flicker]

Wow

Nice work!

[foggy socket]

Anyone can correct me if I went somewhere wrong

[lucid flicker]

The sign has a question mark on it

At the end of the friend video:

[foggy socket]

I wondered about what the character on the sign was

I used Google Lens and got something, as the Lens bot detects, to be something in relations to a symbol of Ancient Egypt

Or could be like the ‽ character maybe

Tho I am not sure

‽ same as ⁉️

[vapid abyss]

Found anything?

[vapid abyss]

On this text:
(probably random text)

Hey Funf, how did you encode this? (If it is encoded text)

Also can anyone make a grand theory on this ARG's story?

[foggy socket]

outta the code ZYYHIOKZX

[Kr]4d15s2 [Kr]4d15s2 1s1 [Kr]4d105s25p5 [He]2s22p4 [Ar]4s1

anyways...

[foggy socket]

anyone else wanna make a correction/comment about my findings besides this one?

[lucid flicker]

Other than the fact that this is very impressive, nope

[barren smelt]

what is this

[foggy socket]

AEC Coding

Atomic Electron Configuration

[foggy socket]

Like I haven't really followed with this ARG the most, not sure if that's same case for Llyoncub and Anothershadowz

I was thinking of people who've been following this ARG for a longer period like Bird, Shimmering, or Ashleigh

[barren smelt]

where did u get that? also it needs spaces

ik its ec

but i can only decode it if there spaces in it

[foggy socket]

Done

[foggy socket]

I just used Google to look up the AECs of the given elements given to me by CacheSleuth

[long nexus]

it's me!!!!

don't forget lodeium

[lucid flicker]

Ye

[long nexus]

so this the code?

[lucid flicker]

We think

[long nexus]

what happens when you combine all the abbreviations

[lucid lodge]

That doesn't make sense

[long nexus]

of what they are in periodic

[lucid flicker]

Where did the code come from again?

I forgot

[lucid lodge]

X isn't an element

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

[lucid flicker]

Does anyone have any theories?

[rare walrus]

oh hey. i got a random bit that might help

[lucid flicker]

Hey Raux!

[rare walrus]

hi lodenium

[lucid flicker]

Ty

[rare walrus]

np

idk how much this would help yall but thought it would be something at least

[lucid flicker]

It could help

Anything related to him helps

This is probably the most normal convo anyone has had with him tbh

[rare walrus]

lol

[lucid flicker]

I wish someone would make a vid on this

I might even make one

[rare walrus]

W

[halcyon venture]

maybe its this

[foggy socket]

I thought similar, like resembling a symbol from the times of Ancient Egypt

But he says the symbol is a ? mark

[halcyon venture]

i have an idea: in bedrock edition its possible to make text rapidly change by placing §k before it. This could be a character randomly chosen and just happened to appear when this screenshot was taken

i zoomed in to the image more and took a screenshot, then tried to trace the symbol on the sign
Maybe this is what was on the sign?
Looks like a backwards question mark, but in a strange font.

[halcyon venture]

this isnt the only thing it could be, of course

[lucid flicker]

I don’t actually know what it is

I was just giving a simple answer

[foggy socket]

Hm

[lucid flicker]

Guys new video: https://youtu.be/UHV-wcY94dU?si=_laItiks9UU5o_WC

Description reads: `The sign by home, his blood upon it. Those words from home, his brain remembers. Those who called his name, are gone forever. His rescue awaits, but no one came. Why did he go out? Why did they take him? Is he even alive? Has he been forsaken? His Mother’s calls, his father’s pleas. They took him silently, away from his king. No one knew, there was no trace. Ryan had taken him to a new place. Experiment after another, he wished he were dead. But one special day, it all came to head. The boss knew nothing of it, his friends in his head. Is he even in the game? No, but instead, his lifeless existence, carries on with each step-

-𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵…

He is alone.

ixtjl://ixonp.dsm/u/pK3LgLU `

Wow we got a whole poem with this one

Also cipher text at the bottom

@long nexus what cipher is this?

[long nexus]

code: https://imgur.com/a/wK3AySW

vignere cipher with code beautality

[lucid flicker]

Ooh

Higher quality image

• first time he’s used imgur

Imgur description reads: he tried to run away, but instead he went mad

[rare walrus]

i wonder why mother is uppercased but not father's

[lucid flicker]

He does mention the person’s dad in the running away video

Maybe there’s something special about him?

[rare walrus]

maybe he died? or the mother did
idk

[halcyon venture]

feels weird that the text at the end is in the default font for text in capcut

[barren smelt]

can someone inter0ret this?

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

It’s very well written for sure

[barren smelt]

"HIS BODY UNRESPONSIVE, HIS CONSCIOUSNESS LEFT" is written in a different font

[lucid flicker]

It is

[lucid flicker]

While we wait for new videos, anyone have any theories about the story?

[lucid flicker]

Anyone got any theories?

[foggy socket]

I am more of finding stuff than creating theories, I'm bad at those stuff

[rare walrus]

real

[vapid abyss]

We need something new...

Can someone figure out the upload schedule of F.U.N.F.?

[lucid flicker]

I think it’s just random

[vapid abyss]

Ok

[lucid flicker]

Nothing new yet…

[foggy socket]

Hm

[lucid flicker]

As in there aren’t any new vids yet

[foggy socket]

Ok

[celest skiff]

soon my friends

Over and out

🙂

[lucid flicker]

Alright!

Thanks NotFound

[lucid flicker]

Guys look:

The link doesn’t work, but I wonder if it’s the key to a cipher

[vapid abyss]

It got updated

The website is a clue, it is not a real website.

[lucid flicker]

Guys look:

All of these videos have dates now

I updated the playlist to have everything in the correct order

Something tells me we’re gonna get a video today

Cause whenever FUNF does something, he usually makes a vid

[lucid flicker]

https://youtu.be/iWIaQsz1x4c?si=3pIxZByET8m5XKcD NEW VIDEO

@foggy socket

@vapid abyss

I’ve already put it in the playlist

Date is 11-4-2022

Between Old Home and Sorrow

[foggy socket]

You tried using Wayback Machine, see if anything came up?

[foggy socket]

Between 2009 to 2011, I see

[lucid flicker]

I’m pretty sure it’s just a clue

Video description reads: `11-4-2022, “I didn’t build this room?”

01101100 01100111 01110111 01100001 01110111 00111010 00101111 00101111 01100001 01100101 01101100 01101111 01101001 00101110 01110110 01110110 01110001 00101111 01110010 00101111 00110111 01110100 01110001 00110100 01101101 00110100 01110000 `

[foggy socket]

lgwaw://aeloi.vvq/r/7tq4m4p is what the binary text reads

[lucid flicker]

Ceasar cipher?

No

Vigenere?

What would be the key tho

WAIT

[lucid flicker]

THE WEBSITE

“ENDLESSFURTHERMOREISKEY”

SO THE KEY IS “ENDLESSFURTHERMORE”

IT WORKED

https://imgur.com/a/7hc4v4l

Here’s the title and description

I think there’s text on top of the words “he is no longer with us”

I can’t make it out tho

Anyone know how to see it better?

Also the squares in the middle of the image look like FUNF’s pfp

[lucid flicker]

Also, did you notice anything in the video?

I didn’t

Besides how weird it was

[foggy socket]

This thing in particular looks something like mllwstnhbo1ur.ktlvco.lw/eiomaspwcte// in TheNick56 ARG

[foggy socket]

Didn't watch yet

[lucid flicker]

?

[lucid flicker]

Ah

FriendsNotFound

[wooden pebble]

And as the years go by.. I will never die

You're gonna see its our destiny

[lucid flicker]

My goodness

Now everyone’s doing it

[long nexus]

lmao you pinged a random guy

it's @long nexus

[lucid flicker]

Whups

[lucid flicker]

Anyone able to see the text?

[lucid flicker]

Can anyone make out what this says

[real grove]

best i could do

ill try removing the red text behind it

yeah i dont think thats gonna help

uh

good luck with that

i think the second one might be a lowercase t

maybe

first one i got no clue

weird font makes it look chunky so i dont recognize what it might be

[real grove]

ok nvm turns out i didnt need to do any of that i didnt see the high quality imgur image

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVf2tNzz48

bathroom sign murderer is crazy

lmao screen recorded arg

screen recording jumpscare 😱

friend suggested to check the audio through a spectrogram i didnt see anything noteworthy

[real grove]

my friend said he saw pumpkin blocks

[gritty lily]

did you check the subtitles?

[lucid flicker]

Lmao FUNF must have forgotten to remove that

But great job

Besides the screen recording at the end, that’s one scary video tbh

[gritty lily]

Have you guys checked the community tab or just the videos?

[lucid flicker]

We’ve checked the Community tab

That’s how we’ve gotten some keys to ciphers

[gritty lily]

have you done it recently?

[lucid flicker]

No

[gritty lily]

there is a post from 14 hours ago

[lucid flicker]

Yeah just saw it

Thanks

[gritty lily]

np

also, there is a random w in the subtitles at the end of "story"

along with 2 "oh" at 0:02 and 0:30

[gritty lily]

what spectrogram software did you use?

[lucid lodge]

Caesar ciphered?

lgwaw://aeloi.vvq/r/7tq4m4p

It looks like a YouTube link

[gritty lily]

story was what was found from the link

the better question is who was the play with the elytra towards the end of the video?

[gritty lily]

here is the stuff found

[gritty lily]

what type of cipher is it?

[hot kestrel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigenère_cipher

[vapid abyss]

We need Fun to put a text clue here (Fun = my colloquial name for F.U.N.F.)

[gritty lily]

also, did anyone else see the username/player and castle at the end of "Confusion"

and what do the smokers and blast furnaces mean/represent

[hot kestrel]

it's not the first time this castle was thrown in

[gritty lily]

the better question is who is the player that flew in at the end

[hot kestrel]

Alfie?

I dunno

[gritty lily]

it looked like it had 89 at the end

[hot kestrel]

yeah, 89 is the only part of the player's tag that is visible

[gritty lily]

the other question is, is there any significance with the smokers and blast furnaces or in how they are arranged?

[hot kestrel]

I think yes

but I have no certainty what it means exactly

[lucid flicker]

Story description:

I also added it to the playlist

Can anyone tell what’s happening in the video?

It’s clearly supposed to be a story

Maybe even the story for the ARG

[hot kestrel]

@gritty lily be writing a bible rn

[gritty lily]

Here is my theory of it of it:

There is a normal family. The child is murdered, and the father finds the body. The other man finds the father and tells him something. After which, the family is flipped upside-down by the death of the child. In an attempt to fix his family the father kills someone(who may possible be the other man I mentioned earlier) and either transfers the man's soul or his child's soul into minecraft. Or the murderer killed the child's father and the father's soul is put into mincraft.

there is a good chance the father or the child is named alfie

[lucid flicker]

Wow

That’s a good theory

It kinda contradicts a few things in the other vids tho

But maybe

🔥

[hot kestrel]

That's a start at least

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

[gritty lily]

I mean it is just a theory, so it is not 100% correct

[lucid flicker]

First actual theory on the story tbh

[lucid flicker]

Yeah ik

I wonder if the events in the video are out of order

[hot kestrel]

I didn't even thought about it lol

that would be intresting for sure

[lucid flicker]

That could explain the contradictions

And the absence of BSide Industries

[gritty lily]

here is also another question, why are there 2 "oh"s in the subtitles

[hot kestrel]

they're automatically generated by yt

I think

[lucid flicker]

One thing I like about this guy more than other ARGs

He responds INSANELY fast

[gritty lily]

I asked a question on confused, but i still haven't recieved an answer

then again I may have been too specific with the question

Wait

I may be going out on a limb here

there was a gunshot in "I'm Sorry" from Ryan Harshas

what if "Story" and "I'm Sorry" are some how connected?

what if Ryan got too close to the patient and was killed

[lucid flicker]

But Ryan is the one saying sorry

Look at the comments

So maybe Ryan killed someone

Which would explain why the description says “no longer innocent”

[gritty lily]

maybe Ryan was the killer(person who killed the child and the person with the gun) in story

[lucid flicker]

Maybe

But then if the gunshot was after the kid dying (cause the kid’s body was on the floor in Story), then Ryan would already not be innocent

I think Alfie is the killer

And Ryan killed him

[gritty lily]

maybe

so that would mean alfie or the child was put into minecraft

[lucid flicker]

Maybe even both

Also, I’m pretty sure the voice that says “hey, get back here” in the Running Away video is the eventual killer

Maybe he’s chasing the kid

And he dies at the end

Cause the scream

• we see a picture of a kid at the end as well

[gritty lily]

here is another theory, maybe the child is trying to help Alfie get out of the game in "{unused.0}"

[lucid flicker]

Ooh

[gritty lily]

or the other way around and Alfie is trying to influence the kid through the leaf block

and the mushrooms are a way to say "you are dead, you have no influence on me"

[hot kestrel]

[gritty lily]

when I find something I am interested in, I will not stop until it is complete

[hot kestrel]

but why does he keep following the leaf blocks?

he wants to get rid of Alfie completly?

[gritty lily]

I think he is trying to remove Alfie's influence

which is why he also replaces the leaf blocks with mushrooms

[hot kestrel]

the leaf cross is also another hint that alfie is dead

one thing

why does the music stop whenever there's a block missing in unused.0

[gritty lily]

that is the only thing I am unsure of

[gritty lily]

if anyone new joins, this is how we got here

please read from there to here

[hot kestrel]

pin

we still don't know what these smokers and blast furnaces mean

any ideas?

[lucid flicker]

No

But I do think it’s interesting that the video’s description says: “I didn’t build this room?”

[hot kestrel]

It' like he's not even sure

[gritty lily]

maybe 89 built the room

[lucid flicker]

Wait a second

Maybe 89 is Ryan

And Alfie was eliminated

[hot kestrel]

that makes sense

either kid, or more likely ryan got rid of Alfie

[gritty lily]

then, maybe it is alfie in unused.0

and he is trying to get rid of Ryan's influence

[hot kestrel]

so leaves represent Ryan and mushrooms Alfie?

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker could you pin this?

[gritty lily]

maybe

[lucid flicker]

No, it’s been confirmed that leaves and bedrock represent Alfie

[lucid flicker]

Am I able to?

No, I can’t

[gritty lily]

it is your post

huh

[lucid flicker]

He responded

[gritty lily]

Another cryptic answer

So I guess we should call 89 “white” from now on

[lucid flicker]

Why is this hilarious

[lucid flicker]

White is a very important character so far

He and another character called red have been in almost every video

They are even the main focus of No Longer His Own

Wait

Beeg brain time

What if Red is Alfie and White is Ryan

[gritty lily]

That might be correct

So if white flew in at the end, was the person already in the room the child?

And what is their relation to the castle at the end of the video

[lucid flicker]

The child (which btw, his name is Johann Davidson) is the POV of all of the MC and Mario vids (we think), and a Minecraft Alpha castle has been shown in the background of a picture that has red and white in it

[gritty lily]

Based off of that, it would mean Alfie currently has influence over Johann and Ryan is trying to remove Alfie’s influence

[gritty lily]

@hot kestrel what if the blast furnaces and the smoker correspond to squares on the grid

[long nexus]

3 people dying is insane

i am gonna rewatch the series and make the slideshows soon

just gotta stop procrastinating

[gritty lily]

Well have fun with that

Your going to need it

[barren smelt]

both slidewhows
your alideshow and llyon too

[gritty lily]

don't forget to make some slides with stuff from the discord

[hot kestrel]

I was thinking the same, but what is that grid? A map? Symbol?

[lucid flicker]

It’s FUNF’s pfp

I think

It’s the only other grid-like thing we’ve seen

[hot kestrel]

That I already noticed, but I feel like there's more to it

Maybe I'm just schizophrenic idk but those smokers seem oddly specific

[real grove]

maybe it represents the smoke in our hearts ✊ 😔

[lucid flicker]

What?

[gritty lily]

I am also confused

[hot kestrel]

This post rn

[gritty lily]

I mean my theory and the conversations we had kinda explain the channel

[hot kestrel]

Boy the series ain't even done yet and you think you have the solution

[gritty lily]

I know I don’t have the solution, I’m saying my theory is most likely the best thing we have to explain what is happening

[hot kestrel]

I mean probably, with what we have so far

[gritty lily]

The conversations we had afterwards just expand on and add to it

[lucid flicker]

Does anyone recognize the song used in Story?

Or do you think FUNF made it

Whatever it is, it’s actually terrifying

[gritty lily]

I don’t and I have to agree

[hot kestrel]

For me it sounds kinda similar just really disturb and edited

I feel like I heard ot somewhere

And that's probably by design

[gritty lily]

the comment initially said Red, Idk if the was a mistake or if he changed it to through us off

[lucid flicker]

Ask him

[gritty lily]

that top one was from the comment I made on the most recent post

"Is it Alfie that will never give up?"

[gritty lily]

did you guys decode the stuff in the "About" section?

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

[gritty lily]

so in the most recent community post, I am guessing that Ryan is the blue text and Alfie is the red text

the other question is who is the black figure on the tree

Also, I out "Story" into a spectrogram and have looked over it so many times, there is nothing that I can find

[lucid flicker]

It’s red

Red is a black spot with a red dot in the middle

[lucid flicker]

Probably correct, because Ryan is the one who uploaded the video that originally had that image

Or maybe the red text is red

But red would be Alfie

So nvm

[real grove]

i assumed it was distorted minecraft music

[lucid flicker]

It didn’t sound like any Minecraft songs I’ve heard

[real grove]

might be my story mode brain firing off

intro bit sounded slightly alike to one of story modes songs

could very well be custom music

also thought i heard a bit of charlie brown in it

[lucid flicker]

I heard the Minecraft theme and a bit of the ground theme from SMB towards the end

[gritty lily]

it kinda reminds me of this:
https://youtube.com/@guuuby?si=m7nJRRjKClkPCPOt

[real grove]

i think it would be strange if it was custom music seeing as thats a lot of effort to go through to then not put in the effort to edit out the screen recording bit

[vapid abyss]

Do y'all know about this - ?

[lucid flicker]

He might have just made a mistake

He’s clearly in the middle of something, cause of how we haven’t gotten as many videos as we used to

[gritty lily]

Ya, I pointed it out when in came out 14 hours after he posted

It came out the about the same time as “Comfused” did

[gritty lily]

The top notification was from the comment I left on the post

[gritty lily]

he said yes

[gritty lily]

wait, WHAT?!

[lucid flicker]

I think he’s referring to the screen recording not being cut off

[gritty lily]

oh ya

so, did he get that from youtube or did he make that on his phone

[gritty lily]

btw his exact word to the question I asked was "yes my friend"

[lucid flicker]

I’m pretty sure he made that

Don’t know why he would steal that

I’ll ask him in DMs

I’ll also ask him about the music

[hot kestrel]

what's with the website linked on FUNF's bio?

http://endlessfurthermoreiskey.com/

it's down

it's titled "Life was his dream"

[gritty lily]

it was a key for a vigenere cipher

it was used to get us story

[hot kestrel]

dude doesn't even own the domain bruh

[long nexus]

tbf a domain like that is $15/mo

if it was a domain puzzle he would have to keep it up for a while so more people can solve it

if this bluehood guy is related we need some confirmation

we got it last time with a direct reply (ryan harshas)

[gritty lily]

which video is this under

[long nexus]

@celest skiff

[long nexus]

a fresh start

my comment

[gritty lily]

there is nothing on him

no videos, no about me, nothing

their account was made today

[lucid lodge]

It was made a month ago

[gritty lily]

no, the account that that @long nexus is talking about

[lucid lodge]

Oh the bluehood person

[gritty lily]

yes

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker We need to keep an eye on the channel @BlueHood-ix5 the channel was created today and it somehow commented on a older video less that an hour ago as of sending this message

it is extremely suspicious

[gritty lily]

Wait a minute, @BlueHood-i5x is translating the messages in the comments

[gritty lily]

scratch that, Idk if they are trying to be helpful or weird

I was looking at the spectrogram of "Story" again, and when zoomed in, it kinda looks like the notes are trees

The spectrogram kinda looks like someone running through the woods or a forest

[hot kestrel]

I kinda does actually

But I don't really think it was intentional

We should keep that in mind tho

[long nexus]

ohhh

[lucid flicker]

We’ve seen lots of videos of people running through trees

I think it’s intentional

K guys

FUNF said that he makes all of his videos and that the music is his

[hot kestrel]

does that look like any other scene whit someone going into the woods we've seen before?

[lucid flicker]

Guys I have a theory

What if the real life part in Retrieval took place during Johann’s kidnapping

We see a kid running and screaming

The video game parts imply that it’s Johann

And maybe the video game parts are what took place in 8-9-2023, but the rest were back in 2009

Cause the house we see is a recreation of the one in Discovery1

[zealous yarrow]

Hey there

It's been a while since I talked here

[gritty lily]

Hello

[zealous yarrow]

How much have I missed

And does anyone remember me lol

[gritty lily]

When was the last time you messaged here?

[gritty lily]

I am gonna say watch the new playlist and read the messages from the past couple of weeks

That should be everything you need to know and bring you up to speed

[zealous yarrow]

Where's the link to the playlist?

[gritty lily]

Check the pinned messages

Should be the top one

[lucid flicker]

Ye

I remember you

You got a lot of DMs from FUNF if I remember correctly

[lucid flicker]

Make sure you watch the right one

[zealous yarrow]

I did

[rare walrus]

i forgot about this

[lucid flicker]

Lol

Do you have any finds or theories?

[rare walrus]

nope

[barren smelt]

hi

[gritty lily]

Hey

[lucid flicker]

Hello

[gritty lily]

has anyone recently went through the video playlist

I just was going through the playlist and found this

The youtuber in the comment section hasn't put out anything in 10 days

Here is even something stranger

[gritty lily]

And the video he posted 10 days ago is a bunch of random cuts

There is something weird going on here

[gritty lily]

now that story is out and we have a bit more of the whole story, I think we need to relook at the videos and start making a story line

cause there are a couple of things that need to be set straight between the Ryan Harshas and FUNF channels

I've also noticed he is under all of Ryan Harshas's videos but not any of FUNF's videos(this video is "Dimensional")

[gritty lily]

all except for the unlisted video

[lucid flicker]

I’m gonna ask FUNF if he has anything to do with the ARG

[long nexus]

I don't think he does

His messages seem too "basic"

Like he just rips the regular response

[lucid flicker]

Yeah, he doesn’t have anything to do with it:

[gritty lily]

probably not, but we should keep keep an eye on it

[pulsar coyote]

do you guys not have trouble with the secret videos ont his one? whenever i translate the code into a youtube klinjk it says no longer available?

[gritty lily]

There just hasn’t been any content that was posted recently

[pulsar coyote]

no i meant like from the third video 'making progress' i got this code NBTHI4DTHIXS66

and when i put it into a youtube link i just get no video found

unless im doing it wrong

[hot kestrel]

Maybe it isn't a link at all

Or needs to be run thru a cypher

[lucid flicker]

Probably doing it wrong

Hang on

[long nexus]

new video

that's what i got

i have now edited it after fixing it from what @lucid flicker found

[lucid flicker]

The link doesn’t work

[lucid flicker]

Seems to be Johann falling

Date in the description is 8-12-2023

Says “how did I get here???”

[lucid flicker]

Mineshaft

[long nexus]

yeah it's partially incorrect

don't know what tho

[hot kestrel]

I might be seeing something wrong but it looks like he is falling under bedrock despite being hundreds of blocks up

just a detail

• the destortion there when he dies

[lucid flicker]

It does look like that

Cause of the gray above him

And he lands on nothing when he dies

[lucid flicker]

Yes

[hot kestrel]

RnZiIFFiemEgU3Z6YSBBb2wgTmh0bCA6KQ==

[lucid flicker]

What’s this

[hot kestrel]

🙂

[lucid flicker]

That’s the FUNF emoji

What does this mean

Are you FUNF???

[hot kestrel]

I may or may not be connected to this individual

[lucid flicker]

Fr tho

Are you him

Bruh

[lucid flicker]

You Just Lost The Game 🙂

Dang it

[hot kestrel]

gotem

[gritty lily]

did anyone else notice the creature in the void?

what is it

[gritty lily]

also, I noticed the the link is in several different fonts

[long nexus]

good catch

[gritty lily]

ya, went frame by frame to check for anything interesting and noticed what ever that is

[lucid flicker]

Weird

[gritty lily]

going to attempt to try and decipher the multi-font youtube link

[lucid flicker]

Alr

[gritty lily]

When I was taking a closer look at the image, it looked to me like the darkness is blackstone bricks

[lucid flicker]

Remember you can get a better quality image by saving it straight from Imgur

[lucid flicker]

Maybe

[gritty lily]

Ik, I am looking at the image in imagur rn

I am going to compare and contrast as many fonts as I can

[lucid flicker]

Alr

[gritty lily]

by as many as I can, I mean literally every font on google docs

[gritty lily]

btw, did you tell FUNF about the link?

[lucid flicker]

No

But I’ve been doing some research on fonts

@gritty lily @long nexus it’s not multiple fonts!

It’s called hoelfer text black italic

It’s the closest one

Here’s an alphabet chart:

[long nexus]

I GOT IT

@lucid flicker @gritty lily

https://youtu.be/xUvEWYXcQ0c?si=Sf7F-ldVbaMoiTVS

description says "mental illness"

the scream actually gave me a heart attack

this is the thing that killed his family

[lucid flicker]

That’s red

Which is Alfie

[long nexus]

ok

[lucid flicker]

And it’s not his family that died, at least I think

That video is a moving version of the old photo of red and white looking in at the player

Here’s the flashing images:

Which basically confirm that red is Alfie

Also I think the yellow text is Johann and red text is Red

So the word “no.” In the “no longer his own” is from red

We also see non distorted video from “Running Away” and “Sorrow”

Red says “HES DEAD NOW” With an image of a cross

White says “I Can Save You” with an image of grass blocks

Johann says “I WANT THEM BACK” with an image of the family from “Story”

And the music is a sped up non distorted version of the music in “Story”

[lucid flicker]

I wonder why?

Wait

The Imgur description said “Alfie’s Mind”

[long nexus]

Oh

[lucid flicker]

Maybe Alfie has a mental illness

[long nexus]

maybe he has something that made him like this

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

[gritty lily]

also, it is confirmed that Alfie is the killer in story

[lucid flicker]

Yes

Cause red is on the killer’s face

[gritty lily]

also, what the is this world

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker we need to look into this more

[lucid flicker]

This music has to be important somehow

Almost like the theme song for the ARG

[gritty lily]

left a couple comments, I will let you know what their answers are

[long nexus]

https://youtu.be/eE1MJt8l9mE?si=lS7eQMowO3VBZXph

[lucid flicker]

HOLY

That music scared me

Didn’t expect that

Someone has got to check that on spectrogram

Has to be something

Also here’s the description:

I think this is referring to the fact that in all of the videos, we haven’t seen a single mob

And this is the place that Johann was falling into in the Fall video

Cause they seem to be in the void

The mobs I could make out are slimes, a pig, a creeper, either a spider or wither, and a chicken

[hot kestrel]

I'll run it through ffmpeg

In a minute

[hot kestrel]

resolution ok?

It doesn't look like there's anything here

[lucid flicker]

Interesting

Does anyone know what that sound is tho?

Some kind of alarm?

[hot kestrel]

it might actually be an akarm, just heavily distorted

[gritty lily]

I got answers to the questions I left in the comments

Also, I don't recognize the mob on the far left of the screen at 0:06 of "Mobs"

[gritty lily]

If you just look at one section of the image, it kinda looks like the mapping of a structure/building

[hot kestrel]

that's probably only becouse of specific spectogram settings I have

In default ffmpeg it's just two lines a few times

[gritty lily]

I can run it through mine an I can post it here if you want

[hot kestrel]

yeah do that

[hot kestrel]

It might be a spider but it doesn't seem to have legs so i dunno

[gritty lily]

It is has the opposite shape of a spider

@hot kestrel

[hot kestrel]

I don't really think there's anything here

or at least I can't see it

[hot kestrel]

dinnerbone

[gritty lily]

It is the same shape as your spectrogram but in lighter colors

[gritty lily]

it looks more like the base of a wither

[hot kestrel]

I kinda see it

Do you think FUNF refers to Alfie or kid? Both might work in their own way

[gritty lily]

not sure

[lucid flicker]

It does

[gritty lily]

But then it showing up in the weird void just doesn’t make sense

And doesn’t the “creeper” look like a hole

[lucid flicker]

No, cause you can see it turn

I think it’s just in a block, so it’s black

[gritty lily]

maybe

[gritty lily]

I was taking a closer look at it and it doesn't look like a creeper

[lucid flicker]

Wait

Doesn’t it look like the entity in the void at the end of fall?

[halcyon venture]

hmmm

[oak tartan]

this is still going? damn

[gritty lily]

I asked about it, I will let you know the response

[barren smelt]

where did u go

[lucid flicker]

Hey! You’re back!

[vapid abyss]

What's up?

[lucid flicker]

So I was right

He said “fall”

Most likely referring to the thing in the fall video

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker do you think this looks like the mapping of a structure?

[lucid flicker]

Define please

[lucid flicker]

Ooh

I see it now

[gritty lily]

but the better question what is it a mapping of?

[lucid flicker]

I personally can’t tell, but what do you think?

[gritty lily]

My bet is it is the mapping of the building the experiments took place in from Ryan Harshas channel

[lucid flicker]

Makes sense

[gritty lily]

I mean ya. It doesn't look or resemble anything like a castle and there isn't much imagery used that looks anything like is.

[long nexus]

@lucid flicker could you get me timeline of videos

kinda like

date - video
date - video

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

Not rn tho

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker we should at some point go over the evidence we have and start to piece together an actual story and make sure we haven't missed an important detail in any of the videos

[lucid flicker]

Good idea

[long nexus]

thank you

[lucid flicker]

What’d you need it for?

[gritty lily]

I was going through the "Unknown Dates" videos to try and put them somewhere in the timeline and found something I don't think we ever came back to.

[gritty lily]

I think the final frames of "Dimensional" show the building that the spectrogram depicts the mapping of

Also, I think "He's Still Here" is some where after "Story" in "Alpha Arc" just purely off of a content standpoint

I am starting to think "I Want to Go Home" is after "Running Away" but either right after "Running Away" before "Friend" or directly after "Friend" in the "Irl Arc"

[barren smelt]

explains a lot

[long nexus]

making a new slideshow

[lucid flicker]

Ah

Nice

[lucid flicker]

Can someone pin this? I’m gonna update it every time there’s a new vid

[hot kestrel]

https://youtu.be/_vXkwz_w9nc?si=gdIiPG433PP3elZ2

[barren smelt]

i guess

[gritty lily]

Speak of the devil and he shall appear

Got an encoded link in the description

voxgs://vpuok.qjq/r/cvucmMC

[hot kestrel]

I don't know how relevant it is but this box is in the void, just above where you used to take damage before 1.18

[lucid flicker]

Is it just me, or does the audio sound like someone talking?

[lucid flicker]

Either it’s Caesar cipher or vigenere

[barren smelt]

vigen

Key is overandout

https://imgur.com/a/cirosTO

[hot kestrel]

"1981 the first sign of madness"

[lucid flicker]

Well this is terrifying

[lucid flicker]

That’s the oldest date

[gritty lily]

what is up with the end of the image

there is an unnecessary amount of periods/something after creation

[lucid flicker]

Maybe missing text?

Also the brain diagram is really bothering me for some reason

Probably because there’s text that says “CUT HERE”

[gritty lily]

the cut me thing is referencing the occipital lobe

here is what it does

[hot kestrel]

Maybe they cut it to replace it's functionality with a computer

[gritty lily]

also, what does figure A say

[gritty lily]

I just realized the occipital lobe is a more advanced AI

[long nexus]

did we always have alfie's full name

[long nexus]

they used the memories to create the ai, so maybe the person we are watching in the minecraft videos isn't alive, just an ai

[gritty lily]

that is one possibility. another is that the AI could be or represent red since it was created by Alfie

[lucid flicker]

Yeah

I forgot when it was first revealed, but it was recently

[lucid flicker]

“Studies show that this area of the brain is best for transferral”

[gritty lily]

why is the parietal lobe best for transferral?

[lucid flicker]

Idk

That’s just what it says

Wait

Here’s what it does:

This kinda makes sense actually

[gritty lily]

New video

https://youtu.be/RMqYFtnYX44?si=GuPOPoe2HBmg2VT2

Got a long one

@lucid flicker @long nexus @hot kestrel

[lucid flicker]

Nice

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a longer vid

Well, that was a weird video

Here’s the description:

And I agree, the music drove me crazy too

Anyone know what is was?

It’s sounded like multiple tracks playing at the same time

[hot kestrel]

Spectrogram?

[lucid flicker]

Say anything you thought was interesting or important here

[lucid flicker]

Maybe

[lucid flicker]

Did anyone find anything relating to this?

[gritty lily]

I recognize the song playing when the player entered bedrock

I believe it is Sh-Boom by The Chords

A distorted version of it

[lucid flicker]

Wasn’t that playing through the whole video?

Also the ending was interesting

[gritty lily]

ya especially the one frame where he was running

[long nexus]

he's on java edition

nvm

[lucid flicker]

Which frame?

[gritty lily]

near the end before he brakes the leaf block

at about 6:35

[foggy socket]

https://youtu.be/RMqYFtnYX44 → same thing you sent w/o source identifier

[lucid flicker]

Ooh the thumbnail changed

[foggy socket]

Yeah, I then thought twice

I sent a different or the same video

Without the source identifier

[lucid flicker]

The more I read this, the more insane it becomes

There is clearly something very wrong with Alfie

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus you said you were making a new slideshow, could you share it with me?

[long nexus]

yeah sure lemme just finish a couple more slides

[lucid flicker]

Alr

[long nexus]

i've kinda been jumping around so

[long nexus]

first message: #1231748884750012507 message

took me about 5 minutes to scroll up

and i don't wanna do it again

[lucid lodge]

Are there actually important things in the first message?

If you need it, #1231748884750012507 message edit this message to include that message redirect

[long nexus]

it's so i can look through the discord messages for the slideshow

[lucid lodge]

oh

[lucid flicker]

Here’s the beginnng of destination brightened:

He seems to be in the void

But idk

Let me know if you see anything

Yo

[gritty lily]

hi

[gritty lily]

yup, that's it

[hot kestrel]

https://youtu.be/z9OKv778GnY?si=Ef3dy_PrSibS2WnF

[gritty lily]

there is no info on this one

there is nothing on a spectrogram

[lucid flicker]

What?

That was odd

Red and white again

• the mineshaft again

[hot kestrel]

All those images are very short videos going in a loop, as you can see from torches and enderchest I don't think it's very significant tho

Plus, when the red one appears we're still in a mineshaft, but with the white the background changed

[barren smelt]

whats going on

[lucid flicker]

Now that we have a lot more story, does anyone have a full narrative they would like to share?

[lucid flicker]

@long nexus how’s the slideshow going?

[long nexus]

classes have started

have not had free time

[lucid flicker]

Oh

Alr

[hot kestrel]

hell yeah, let's go

[lucid flicker]

Idk if I’ve mentioned this or not, but at the end of Ryan Harshas’ Sorry video, there is a single frame where you can see the words “He was Human” over the Aerial Deduction text:

Guys the date on Retrieval changed:
