Friends Underscore Not Found

[gritty lily]

we have a couple videos like that

most either have a date in the description, somewhere in the video, or can be inferred based on the information provided in the video or the content of the video itself

[vapid abyss]

Can anybody tell me the roles of the main characters?

The ROLES

[gritty lily]

e.g. News report from the Bside channel: inferred to be from before the start of the ARG but has no specific date as to when it took place

[vapid abyss]

Not the color coding

[gritty lily]

The Observer - Narrator(zip world audio files)
Ryan Harshas - researcher(potential DID with Alfie)
Alfie Gendall - researcher(potential DID with Ryan)
Jeana Marcos - researcher
Johann Davidson - victim
Liam Williamson - victim
Harold Jitsen - victim
Michael Richards - victim
Samuel - researcher?
CEO - self explanitory
N/A - don't know/can't remember

[vapid abyss]

Is there any main antagonists?

[queen sonnet]

Alfie/Ryan seems like they are evil (?)

[gritty lily]

ryan/alfie

[vapid abyss]

And the "CEO" is the CEO of what group?

(I've missed out on a lot)

[queen sonnet]

Bside

[gritty lily]

Bside

[vapid abyss]

What type of group is Bside? (Sorry for all these questions btw)

[queen sonnet]

I leave that to you ghost, i have little info on that part, i just joined yesterday

[gritty lily]

I don't really know, that is a question @lucid flicker might be able to answer

[gritty lily]

ryan is less evil than alfie

[queen sonnet]

They are working with nintendo to do some AIs i think?

[queen sonnet]

Yeah

[vapid abyss]

One thing is known - Bside is based off Lode's friend, Bside

(There is a user with that name in Lode's discord.)

[gritty lily]

huh, neat

[vapid abyss]

(Or well, he used to be there but he left Lode's discord.)

[queen sonnet]

So the first video on bside channel (test1_attempt1) is an ai who talks to ryan i think, so if this video is on the same hard drive its safe to guess that the one on the video is ryan too

[lunar magnet]

long time no see

[queen sonnet]

welcome back! do you need a recap?

[lucid flicker]

woah

i missed a lot

lemme catch up

as you already said, there are two frames of Red/Alfie. First one shows him peaking over the beam and sayig "Just stop living". Second one shows him behind the door saying "Listen to me"

the video is also called "Just listen to me"

Jeana doesnt know what this is or where it came from

it was on the same hard drive as the test1 video, so it might have something to do with that

[lucid flicker]

from my understanding, BSide is some sort of ai technology company that partnered with Nintendo and Mojang

[lucid flicker]

that is actually true! BSide is a youtuber

FUNF once joined one of his streams and said "Greetings my CEO"

I don't know if thats canon or not but I doubt it is

https://www.youtube.com/@HeyBSide

master message updated

also i just now realized that the Static2 video says "hidden well" because thats how you find the drive link

[lucid flicker]

that would make sense

wait I just realized something

we've never seen Ryan/White or Alfie/Red in real life

we've only seen Red or White

the only time we've seen Alife was in the News Report video

[gritty lily]

Did you forget about ryan harshas videos

[lucid flicker]

we dont actually see them

like as a person

[gritty lily]

There is one

[lucid flicker]

wait which one

[gritty lily]

I sent that before this massege

[lucid flicker]

oh okay

were you referring to I'm Sorry?

[gritty lily]

Yes

[lucid flicker]

okay

so we've only seen Alfie, and only once

and according to BTV1, Alfie and Ryan are the same person (i think, correct me if i misremembered)

[gritty lily]

We never confirmed it

[lucid flicker]

so is it Ryan and Alfie, which are the same person, talking to themselves?

idk

[lucid flicker]

yeah true

I hope FUNF himself uploads soon

its been almost 2 months

[lucid flicker]

Is it just me, or the the video stretched?

[gritty lily]

idk

[queen sonnet]

Guys

New vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4eD_KefJBE

The description says: a compilation of insanity, brought to you by xkbxkyhU knZ

@lucid flicker @gritty lily @barren smelt

The tumbnail can be found at 0:08

With a 6 letters caesar shift we can find that the name on the description is The observer but backwards

[queen sonnet]

bside answered my mail

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker you didn't update the playlist

[lucid flicker]

woah new video

[lucid flicker]

will do

[gritty lily]

you also didn't add the most recent bside video

[lucid flicker]

this might be the weirdest video ive ever seen

playlist updated

[lucid flicker]

this says "Richard's Cornfield"

[queen sonnet]

yep

[lucid flicker]

the first victim we know of is named Michael Richards

[queen sonnet]

probably the one who died in the cornfield was richard

[lucid flicker]

and theres a video called Cornfield which is a POV of a kidnapping

[lucid flicker]

exactly

[queen sonnet]

plus the cornfield description says the first

[lucid flicker]

true

[queen sonnet]

i couldn´t translate the mail yet

[lucid flicker]

the first clip of the Collection video seems to be a sped up video of someone spinning their head around

[queen sonnet]

someone on a suit maybe?

[lucid flicker]

idk what this is

probably just static

[queen sonnet]

this looks like a creepy bunny suit

[lucid flicker]

cant tell what this is either

[queen sonnet]

same here

[lucid flicker]

that looks like a violin

on a stand

[queen sonnet]

ohhhh

[queen sonnet]

didn´t see it (it was pretty obvious)

mb

[lucid flicker]

also some parts of the Friend video appear with further distortion

[queen sonnet]

we have the same blue image

[lucid flicker]

minecraft leaves, which have been symbolic of Alfie in the past

[lucid flicker]

this looks like this: #1231748884750012507 message

heres something interesting

legible text

[queen sonnet]

as this one (at least similar)

[queen sonnet]

i was about to point it out

[lucid flicker]

"The" and "Year:"

minecraft cave

idk what these ones are

[queen sonnet]

at least we know alfred herset could be important, idk why would the meil be encripted if it isn´t

[lucid flicker]

okay, this video atcually might be the darkest FUNF video to date

[queen sonnet]

yes

and the face at the end

[lucid flicker]

we actually see Alfie forcing a child on the ground

face?

[queen sonnet]

seems like a body

[lucid flicker]

also it is Alfie performing the terrible act because the picture of him shows up after the strangling clip

[lucid flicker]

might be, but idk

someone in a sports jersey running

whatever this is

[queen sonnet]

face

[lucid flicker]

ohh wait

[queen sonnet]

at least seems like one

[lucid flicker]

maybe

[queen sonnet]

a woman perhaps?

[lucid flicker]

also can you make anything out in the garbled static at the end?

with the fast beeping

[queen sonnet]

this could be a swing?

[lucid flicker]

likely

we've seen a playground before

[queen sonnet]

maybe this says the playground?

[lucid flicker]

maybe

also, cant believe ive skipped over this till now

the backwards voice?

whats it saying (idk how to reverse videos)

also the audio sounds reversed too

[queen sonnet]

i didn´t hear it

but i noticed the audio

[lucid flicker]

after the BSide logo, you can hear a voice

[queen sonnet]

i have no idea either, i could extract the audio and send it here

[lucid flicker]

try that

[queen sonnet]

so someone reverses it

i had it ready

[lucid flicker]

wait i can reverse stuff in capcut i think

hang on

nvm it needs to be a video

im gonna look for a reversing site or smth

[queen sonnet]

just search A site

yep

[lucid flicker]

here it is

wait, the voice is the "Mojang Specifications" audio from calm4

[queen sonnet]

let me check

[lucid flicker]

i didnt notice anything notable about the rest of the audio however

https://youtu.be/QhPHB6ovnKE?si=YDih63Jbp_GlZfUe

@queen sonnet go to 1:35

[queen sonnet]

why did you know that

[lucid flicker]

cause its very easy to remember lol

i remember listening to the song and getting jumpscared by that

[queen sonnet]

hold on

this is on the weird portal-ish video

is the og name of mojang

[lucid flicker]

wait you're right

theres a connection

so Craft_Create.ai has something to do with Collection

wait of course

the audio plays after the BSide logo, and BSide makes the ais

[queen sonnet]

so the ais came before minecraft releases

[barren smelt]

possible implications as far as my chen gong strategist mind like zhugeliang sees: FUNF is a bside employee

[vapid abyss]

I think you mean "The Observer" (That's how he refers to himself)

[vapid abyss]

Did you see any new implications?

[lunar magnet]

Ye

I see a lot of new ppl here

Aside from the pg's

Og's*

@lunar magnet

@lucid flicker @gritty lily @bird

[lucid flicker]

Wait, I’m just now putting something together

There’s text that says “The year:”

And a sports jersey with a 12

What if that’s part of the year number

[queen sonnet]

2012?

Maybe it's simpler

We had a month i think

Or a day

On the confidential.txt

Btw does someone have the keys to the previous vigeneres?

Maybe one of them works for the mail from bside

[lucid flicker]

you can probably find them in the thread

[lucid flicker]

maybe thats what the date is making

the blank date

we havent had any videos in 2012 yet

after 2011 it skips to 2023

[queen sonnet]

Let me turn on the pc guys cause we got collection 2

@lucid flicker @lunar magnet @gritty lily @barren smelt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZKYPng8YcQ

[gritty lily]

@vapid abyss take a look at this as well

[queen sonnet]

the description is the same, a compilation of insanity, brought to you by The observer

so this is the normal audio

and this is the reversed version, notice the song?

[gritty lily]

No way

I don’t believe it

It’s that song!?

[queen sonnet]

yep

is more slowed than the version of dreams

[gritty lily]

Yup

[queen sonnet]

could this be a piano?

[gritty lily]

That IS a piano

[queen sonnet]

maybe it´s a code

this is one frame, idk why so hidden

if you find something ping me, i have some stuff to do

[barren smelt]

new clue

[gritty lily]

So 9H, 5B, and 2 clues hints

[strong gale]

Shoutout the guy who said friend inside me

[barren smelt]

what the hell

bro

you probably don't even know what he did

cuz that's spam anyway

[queen sonnet]

Hey, i was busy the last couple days, i will try to see if i can find something today

[strong gale]

wow I'm sorry i did not know what he did

I thought he was helping im sorry

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker @queen sonnet @barren smelt @lunar magnet new video posted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEA22J8fFNM

[queen sonnet]

Goddamit

I was going to sleep

I will check tomorrow

Is 4 am here

[lunar magnet]

Damn

[lunar magnet]

Les go

[lunar magnet]

Tried spectogram?

[queen sonnet]

There are many blue messages hidden on the video, i will try to read what they say

[gritty lily]

We have another video, from ryan this time:
https://youtu.be/viP8WNttAME

@barren smelt @queen sonnet @lunar magnet @lucid flicker

[lunar magnet]

Damn

[lunar magnet]

Ywah pls tell

Spectogram again!

[barren smelt]

hmm...

[lucid flicker]

well i missed a lot apparently

[queen sonnet]

Welcome back

[lucid flicker]

is that paper towels the pov is throwing?

nintendo building

kid with jersey running again

village maybe?

craft_create.ai from BTV2

what is that?

blue-black world again with red in it this time

[queen sonnet]

Idk

[lucid flicker]

clip from either hallway or sector

kid from the kidnapping pov

[lucid flicker]

thats from death.mp4

[lucid flicker]

this seems to be all of the times we've seen red and white

[queen sonnet]

It could be blood?

[lucid flicker]

also this image is shown in RW so maybe its either red or white?

also, the audio in RW sounds sped up doesnt it?

@queen sonnet could you get the audio from RW like you did the other ones

also im assuming RW stands for RedWhite

[queen sonnet]

It does, maybe it's a mario sound?

[lucid flicker]

could be

that could make sense

[queen sonnet]

Sure, let me turn on my pc

[lucid flicker]

we've seen mario before

[queen sonnet]

i downloaded it and i have the reversed if you need it

here

[gritty lily]

also, there are words in the black parts of collection III

[lucid flicker]

thanks

[lucid flicker]

i saw those

couldnt make them out tho

[queen sonnet]

something about a father

[gritty lily]

I can read all but the last one

[queen sonnet]

but the last one

is really hard

yep

[lucid flicker]

what do they say

[gritty lily]

I also can't read the first one, but I will list them out in order

[lucid flicker]

okay i think i got it to the right speed

its someone playing piano

which matches with the piano clips we've seen in Collections 2 & 3

[lucid flicker]

also i find it funny that when reversed, the part of the video that repeats over and over is apparently saying "hello, hello, hello again"

[gritty lily]

First: not enough to tell what it said
Second: "I know what you did"
Third: "You abandoned him"
Fourth: "A father that abandoned his son"?(a couple of the words are a bit hard to read)

[queen sonnet]

You are pathetic
Now out with you

I think the last ones say that

Before the gun image

[gritty lily]

you think you are pathetic, now out with you; is what the last message said?

[queen sonnet]

Yep

[queen sonnet]

This is the one i couldn't read

Btw, did someone else see this weird journal?

We see many pieces of it along the video

[lucid flicker]

got it

[lucid flicker]

thats interesting

[queen sonnet]

We could try to search for the song? Maybe it is important

Or a code with the notes? Idk but the piano seems important

[gritty lily]

compair the two this image with the last one I sent

[lucid flicker]

heres all three pages in order

[queen sonnet]

We don't know what did he abandon

[gritty lily]

I am guessing child

or son

[lucid flicker]

theres definitely some significance to it since we've seen it so much

[queen sonnet]

Btw, i still couldn't find the vigenere for the mail

[lucid flicker]

thats a good idea

[lucid flicker]

there are some words that are circled and some that are drawn over

first picture appears someone holding a letter

idk about the other 2

[queen sonnet]

I have a theory that maybe Alfred Herset is The observer, the one running the channel

[lucid flicker]

ooh maybe

[queen sonnet]

And the key for the vigenere is around

[lucid flicker]

it has to be somewhere

you should ask him for a clue

[lucid flicker]

oh

[queen sonnet]

He confirmed it was vigenere, i forgot to send it here

Mb

[lucid flicker]

its fine

did you try "around" lol

[queen sonnet]

Yep

[lucid flicker]

maybe its one of the circled words or phrases in this

[queen sonnet]

I tried for like 2 days, no clue what it could be

I don't think so

[queen sonnet]

Because this is from december 8

Way before the collection 3 but the same day we got the 2 i think

[lucid flicker]

i decided to look up the phrase "As we drew near the shore we were surprised to see", as it was the most prominent phrase on the images

[queen sonnet]

If it indeed is from JTB (Journeys Through Bookland) The full phrase is this one

And we can find the you must be content here

It is from The Swiss Family Robinson

[lucid flicker]

okay

so how could Swiss Family Robinson be connected to FUNF?

[queen sonnet]

Idk

[queen sonnet]

Maybe the circled words? The number on the text?

[queen sonnet]

I will try to search some more info later, right now i'm not in my house so i don't have my pc

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker should I make a new google doc to try to consolidate the information we have gathered over the time you guys have spent on the ARG

I know there is already a doc, but this one will be more regarding information known, completed/known but incomplete/unknown ciphers, and specific plot points

[lucid flicker]

sure!

thatd be great actually

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker can you add this to the master message?
google docs link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W5ekmptMKW8sF3tb9Qk6rAuBg-aTbovtRQB9IKn1isU/edit?usp=sharing

there is nothing there right now, so feel free to start editing the document, adding tabs withing the document, and inputing the information we have gathered so far

I do ask that when information is inputted(mainly regarding the ciphers)please put them in from the start of the discussion to the present

also please input the information from the sister thread mentioned in shimmeringstars pinned message

[queen sonnet]

Did anyone find the song from the piano? I searched and found nothing

[lucid flicker]

done

[queen sonnet]

You should update the playlist @lucid flicker

We are missing collection 2 & 3 and rw

[lucid flicker]

got it

[queen sonnet]

I won't be online the next couple hours

Probably until this same time tomorrow

[lucid flicker]

okay

👍

also playlist updated

[queen sonnet]

Sooooo guys, just got an update from FUNF

[queen sonnet]

If this is base100 the answer is This story is coming to an end

I was trying to find a deeper message but it was actually simple ._.

[gritty lily]

Pretty sure it is base100

That message seems right

[lunar magnet]

nice

[lunar magnet]

damn..

[barren smelt]

which means:
Q: Why give all the info now?
A: The story is coming to an end

wait that actually makes a lot of sense

after all we haven't discovered lots of info atp

[barren smelt]

um...hello??

[queen sonnet]

Hey

We are a little stuck i think? At least it's not being that easy

There is like 5-6 clues around to follow and we don't know where should we go

[barren smelt]

tell me the clues that we still have

[queen sonnet]

The swiss family robinson story. The song from the piano. The beeping from that one disc on the world from the drive. The code i got in the mail about alfred herset. I think i'm missing one

That seems to be all? I think i didn't forget anything

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker when you get the chance, can you please add in the arcs into the google docs and which videos are apart of each arc

also please add the videos with no arc into a separate category

[barren smelt]

also add a summarization of the story so far to the end of the docs

[gritty lily]

added

[barren smelt]

where

[gritty lily]

bottom "Summarized Story"

it is in the tabs

[barren smelt]

what is the link

cuz last time i checked the docs

it ain't there

[gritty lily]

check pinned messages

it might be better if I show you

[queen sonnet]

It isn't pinned i think

[gritty lily]

do you have a second to call?

[queen sonnet]

Here

[gritty lily]

it is, it was added to the master message

it is the bottom link

[queen sonnet]

Just saw it

[barren smelt]

are you sure abt that

[gritty lily]

you just told me to add the section

[queen sonnet]

It isn't done yet

[barren smelt]

oh

...

[gritty lily]

I am filling out the information in the other sections

[barren smelt]

mb sorry

[gritty lily]

Feel free to go through and input information where it needs to go

[barren smelt]

im on phone rn i cant

https://tenor.com/view/sun-quan-dynasty-warriors-dynasty-warriors3-dw3-gif-26375669

[gritty lily]

do it when you can, there is no rush

[queen sonnet]

Don't forget guys, if you input some info do it in order from the beginning of the thread, so we don't input the same thing many times and chaos happens.

[barren smelt]

wait...has it ever happened?

[gritty lily]

I will also make an, in universe, chronological order tab after we get all of the information in

[queen sonnet]

No, but it's better if it doesn't

[queen sonnet]

Sounds pretty good

[barren smelt]

i just sent this to him

[gritty lily]

also, for the sister thread, input the information from there into the document from the top of that thread like it was part of this thread

[queen sonnet]

To who?

[gritty lily]

FUNF

[queen sonnet]

Oh

The picture just loaded

I was checking some dms and i still had the photo i got sent

[barren smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/sugarcoat-it-lubu-dynastywarriors-gif-1001914343074789823

[gritty lily]

please check the google docs Master list for then to start adding stuff from the sister thread

[gritty lily]

I put a comment on each of Bside Industry Archive's videos

I will send screenshots of the responses(if I get any)

@lucid flicker btw, was looking through the comments on the newer videos and saw confirmation that the kid in the football jersey is Liam

[lucid flicker]

ooh okay

thats interesting

which video?

also ill add the stuff to the doc tomorrow

[gritty lily]

collection 2 or 3

I believe it is 3

[gritty lily]

ok, can you also take a look at what is there already and correct anything incorrect and fill in any missing information you can remember

[lunar magnet]

Edit

[gritty lily]

???

[lunar magnet]

FUNF EDIT

[gritty lily]

which message?

[lunar magnet]

Edit on @gritty lily @lucid flicker @bird andme

[lunar magnet]

Brother like edit

Not message

[gritty lily]

what do you mean?

[gritty lily]

bro, what do yo mean "Edit"?

[lunar magnet]

Have u not seen like shorts edits

[gritty lily]

I have seen shorts but I have never heard of someone calling them "edits"

but do you mean on someone else's channel?

because I have seen nothing on any of FUNF's channels

[lunar magnet]

BROTHER

Edits!!

https://youtube.com/shorts/uo-BAa-uLHk?si=3HbvqQzYjyHv_iXV

Like ts @gritty lily

[gritty lily]

oh, those

[lunar magnet]

Yes

[lucid flicker]

okay i added the arcs

@gritty lily

[gritty lily]

ok

[lucid flicker]

wait what edit

[barren smelt]

got this

[lunar magnet]

Hmm

[queen sonnet]

So two options, there is a way to access the collection VIII or we need to wait

@gritty lily did bside channel answer your comments?

[gritty lily]

ya, I will post them later(it is 2 am and I will be going to bed soon)

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker @barren smelt @queen sonnet here are the screenshots of the responces to my comments

[queen sonnet]

@lucid flicker @barren smelt @gritty lily I asked if the song we hear in collections is real

[night marsh]

yo guys

ik what it is

[lucid flicker]

@gritty lily @queen sonnet @barren smelt a friend of mine found the song

[lucid flicker]

this

he found it

[night marsh]

https://youtu.be/uQpKzPCBqc4?si=vZlF-8iP--hvspjk

[night marsh]

guys this might be related to fnaf!

Maybe might be an overshoot, but in the song "Never Be Alone", theres a line "This night will keep repeating over and over". this may be important to u but idk

[queen sonnet]

I know, but the question was if it was an actual song. One that we could find online

[queen sonnet]

Nice! The beginning seems pretty similar

[lucid flicker]

it is (most likely)

he found something very similar

[queen sonnet]

I will try to crack the key to the vigenere for the mail

If i get it i will update here

[night marsh]

this is definetly it, just a piano cover

This is A Part of the song

[gritty lily]

That is most definitely “Never B Alone”

[night marsh]

Ik

That’s how I found the song

[night marsh]

But my thing is what does it mean?

Possibly like the lyrics

[gritty lily]

Most of FUNFs clues are cryptic in some fashion

[night marsh]

Also ghost, hi I’m Dragor nice to meet u

[gritty lily]

Probably both title and lyrics

Nice to meet you too

Ay, just hit enderman

[night marsh]

Btw

[gritty lily]

Lets go

[gritty lily]

What’s up

[night marsh]

I’m here cuz Loden showed me the mp3

[gritty lily]

Figured

[night marsh]

And I instantly knew it

But I haven’t watched all the videos

Loden showed me some but not all

[gritty lily]

Well, if you any interest in the ARG, I suggest starting at the top of the thread and working your way down

[night marsh]

I’ll definitely start doing that when I have more time

[gritty lily]

Also, there is a Google Docs where information can start being input

So if you want to input stuff as you go, feel free

I also think I need to make a video analysis tab sheet because there is too much in most videos to have it be coherent and properly fit within a reasonable size within the document

I could separate it by arcs, but that will be difficult to manage. I do have an idea, but I will need to test it.

[night marsh]

Bru I js seen lodens comment on a short about the arg lmao

[gritty lily]

Ya

[night marsh]

Commented like a year ago

[night marsh]

Loden said u guys were making one

[gritty lily]

Ya, don’t really know what happened to it

[night marsh]

I suggest, to make stuff a lot clearer, Make like a unsure and/or confirming parts where u can upload pngs or mp3s that u aren’t sure about

[gritty lily]

Ya, we have done that a lot

[night marsh]

Btw

Can u send over like an image u guys aren’t sure about

Js wanna see like the difficulty here

[gritty lily]

You’ll see that more as you go through the discussion

Just look around the discussion

[night marsh]

Btw when did the video that has never be alone come out?

[gritty lily]

If you are talking about the one the Lodenium replied to when you first messaged here, then it was posted on 12/16/2025

[night marsh]

How hard is it to make an arg?

[night marsh]

@lucid flicker ^

Js incase u had some doubts

[night marsh]

I’ll paste the lyrics hold on

Now I don’t know the revelation for this and this arg, but maybe I know, idk

[gritty lily]

next time create a txt file for the please

[night marsh]

ok srry

[gritty lily]

ur good, it just saves space within the discussion and make it easier to navigate

[night marsh]

but idk how

[night marsh]

ooh ok

[queen sonnet]

Hey guys, i'm back, what's new?

Did i miss anything interesting?

[gritty lily]

not really

just look at the most recent messages

[lunar magnet]

Damn

[night marsh]

Ye I like instantly knew it

[lunar magnet]

This is FNAF BRO

[lunar magnet]

Fnaf 4

[night marsh]

Ik lol

[lunar magnet]

Yeah

[barren smelt]

any new finds??

[queen sonnet]

Nope

[gritty lily]

nothing new yet

[queen sonnet]

I will try to see if i find something we didn't check

[lucid flicker]

guys i found the true identity of Alife Gendall

||this is a joke btw||

[gritty lily]

😑

[lucid flicker]

btw tec is a friend of mine that loves chess

and while my fired split and i were going through FUNF vids, split said that Alfie is probably tec

cause why not ig

[lunar magnet]

Damn

[gritty lily]

@lunar magnet @queen sonnet @barren smelt @lucid flicker guys

[queen sonnet]

Yooo

Nice

Who could be back? One of the four victims?

[lunar magnet]

Ook wait

[gritty lily]

Judging by the wording, my bet is Ryan

[queen sonnet]

I was thinking the same

The videos on his channel made us think he did

[queen sonnet]

Guys

Is samuel

He is back

@gritty lily @lunar magnet @lucid flicker @barren smelt

[gritty lily]

probably

[lunar magnet]

Hm

[lucid flicker]

well its been a while

[queen sonnet]

Yeah

[gritty lily]

bump

[foggy socket]

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6v4jynMyGTEELFdgKvcOCS&t=2353 = is it just me or...?

[queen sonnet]

What's the spotify link?

[foggy socket]

an EP uploaded by a user on Spotify, creds RGN for it

before i told RGN he could upload his vids to Spotify as well instead of just YT

[queen sonnet]

Did anyone find something new? I'm kinda busy rn with some stuff but will try to get some new info when i can

[foggy socket]

currently reading the comments on the EP on RGN's FUNF

there's some things mentioned there i don't see here

like some theory on what this BSide Co. could be

[queen sonnet]

I couldn't open the link xd, let us know if you find some interesting stuff

[foggy socket]

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6v4jynMyGTEELFdgKvcOCS = does this work?

yup, there you go

[queen sonnet]

Ty

[foggy socket]

embed shows

[queen sonnet]

Btw, are u new to the arg?

I don't think i saw you before

[foggy socket]

wait, i have a theory. BSide sounds like "beach side" which is the people who made shipwrecked 64 which has a lot of arg's, codes and secret footage of real life and in-game, some recreations of events that happened irl. so i think this footage of in-game is just the entity toying with the people working at BSide then the footage out-side is the rel life events that caused the people to die.
From the comments section on the EP on Spotify, person who commented going by the username half life scientist

[queen sonnet]

Never heard of shipwrecked64

I still can't crack the code i got emailed dude

And i can't get it out of my head, we know it's vigenere but we have no clue about the key

[foggy socket]

This is kinda similar to the Tochas313 ARG (y’know the one with the evil tree)
Commented by 🏳️‍⚧️:dead_bush: CAPPYO (Sus E) :dead_bush:🏳️‍⚧️

[gritty lily]

Been a while Zenergy

[foggy socket]

think it's a good idea to read up on the comments section in Spotify?

[queen sonnet]

Man, we should continue the doc

[foggy socket]

-# question can be to anyone, although i am saying it to Ghost specifically

[gritty lily]

Been too busy with college to add more information

[queen sonnet]

I mean, the vid is pretty old, i don't think we are finding something new, maybe some theories

[queen sonnet]

Yeah, i'm kinda on the same situation, i start my classes on wednesday

[gritty lily]

I mean, there is no real harm in taking a look. But we should take the comments with lore with a grain of salt

[queen sonnet]

And i spent my vacations learning python. I wanna make a game

[foggy socket]

I estimated Ryan’s age… the guy who works for B/9 he is 55 right now.
But that’s just a theory. A game theory!...
Commented by ♦️⭐♥️Pip (Wings of fire fan!) ♥️⭐♦️

[foggy socket]

so i also find two comments mentioning the Backrooms and one mentioning TBS (The Broken Script):

• one says at the timestamp of 16:57, the ss of the Backrooms is level 2 by user [NAME]] the sequel
• another says at timestamp 17:00, mentions the Backrooms but level unknown by user Mr Lemons, though i think i might know what they mean since one of B/9's office is Backrooms Level 4: Abandoned Office
• this user named The flower head points out the moon at timestamp 37:53 might be the moon from the horror mod TBS, how TBS relates to FUNF, idk

[long nexus]

dude its beeen a minute

theres a spotify now 😭

i need to catch myself up at some point

[gritty lily]

Ya, good to see you

[queen sonnet]

Samuel wasn't the only one who's back

[celest skiff]

Goodbye

🙂

[gritty lily]

@lucid flicker GET IN HERE

[queen sonnet]

@foggy socket @barren smelt

Is it herset or heresy?

[gritty lily]

Herest, Heresy, Herset, Hersey(?)

[foggy socket]

heresy

what's heresy though?

[queen sonnet]

Like being against religion i think?

[gritty lily]

Derfla

[queen sonnet]

Now it says derfla

Goodbye

I will try them all on the vigenere

Brb

[foggy socket]

ehm, i guess we can move this convo to #general unless in rules, talk of religion not allowed

[heady kiln]

It says religion is not allowed unless it relates to an ARG

This is fine

@foggy socket

[queen sonnet]

The image seems to have a sign on the left right?

[heady kiln]

Oh hold up it says relates to a video

I think this is still fine though

[queen sonnet]

Yeah

There is a video

Pretty old

But still

[heady kiln]

Oh

[gritty lily]

Anyone else see the 4x4 grid with xs covering the middle 4 squares?

[queen sonnet]

Yep

[rare walrus]

oh hey he also sent me this

[foggy socket]

probably be just my eyes but is that some enitiy on the right side?

[queen sonnet]

It is

I didn't even see it

[foggy socket]

i remember the first video RGN made, he did mention a black blob with a red center as one of the entities in the player's game or slideshow of images

[queen sonnet]

Yep, it's a character named Alfie

I think, correct me if i'm wrong ghost, it's been a while

[lucid flicker]

woah

just got here

imma read what i missed

[lucid flicker]

yes, Red is a character that represents Alfie

I see Red, A criss-cross pattern with four Xs, and some sort of censor bar in the window

[heady kiln]

It might also just be my eyes but this looks like a Minecraft house with the person on the corner looking at like a 45° angle so they can see both sides

I see what looks like a glass pane on the right side

And is that a real life window on the left side!?!?

Of course it could be a heavily distorted warped door but something feels off about that window

-# sorry for this long block of text

[lunar magnet]

hm

[heady kiln]

As someone has actually read that, I want to explain more because on the right side we see a normal Minecraft window but on the left side it is a realistic window and that perfectly rectangular black box seems to me like a censored entity or portal or something
-# (oh someone mentioned that)
Anyway we can also see what looks to be a swamp or jungle tree through the window

Something else is on the right side, someone mentioned the entity but they seem to have some distinct lines protruding from the red flicker thing, and I swear it reminds me of the roaring knight 😭

-# (black knife intensifies)

[foggy socket]

i think this is what you're talking about, i already mentioned, maybe

#1231748884750012507 message

[heady kiln]

Yeah I know someone mentioned the red entity but I wanted to point out the outlined protrusions

[gritty lily]

Say hello to Alfie

[heady kiln]

Alphys????

[lucid flicker]

i think funf updated his bio

[lucid flicker]

Alfie Gendall

Also pretty sure is the same person as Ryan Harshas

Basically the main antagonist on FUNF

[celest skiff]

7-17-2022

[queen sonnet]

@gritty lily @lucid flicker @lunar magnet @barren smelt

@heady kiln @foggy socket

New drop

7-17-2022, just in case it changes

[gritty lily]

the grid is back

and we have a friend in the bottom right corner

the better question is which friend

[foggy socket]

some things i noted down while analyzing the image

might've left some details out, maybe not, idk

-# yeah i used MS Word, no biggy

21 18? 64? 9 64

[livid cedar]

Btw the black rectangle is over the wood planks so perhaps is something they don't want us to see?
-# maybe another player perhaps?

[livid cedar]

Like it's censored or sum

[foggy socket]

censor block, ok

[livid cedar]

Still though, way too tall for a player

[foggy socket]

the first time i read that, the numbers where i read 18? 64?, those numbers may not be so

18 could be 8; and 64 could be 4

9 may also be 8

do those 5 numbers mean anything though if the items in slot 2, 5-8 are unknown, 🤷

[gritty lily]

Also, something I just realized, new date

[livid cedar]

Btw I don't know way too much about this arg so I'ma just point out discrepancies in images

Hope that's ok

[queen sonnet]

Yeah, i didn't find it anywhere

[gritty lily]

It is on the message, not in the image

[lunar magnet]

hm

[barren smelt]

hi im back

[gritty lily]

welcome back

[chrome latch]

We also return.

We've also updated our archive some: https://homesrv.ashleighhost.net/mcarg/friendsnotfound/

[lucid flicker]

woah

its been a while

welcome back!

[chrome latch]

Mhmm.

[lucid flicker]

are you up-to-date with FUNF?

we've got a lot of new videos, links, images, codes, and even a minecraft world with its own resource pack

heres the master message if you want to see a lot of the new info

it has all the links, timeline, and all of the characters that have been mentioned

#1231748884750012507 message

it also has the FUNF playlist

[chrome latch]

No, we are not at all

Is that the same playlist you made before?

it is not, running video update now

I also saved the world ZIP

[lucid flicker]

its a new one

the old one was removed by youtube for some reason

[chrome latch]

Interesting, still worked for YT-DLP...

Yeah no, it wasn't removed at all

[barren smelt]

is there anything i missed while i was off taking xiapi from liu bei?

i was too busy dealing with zhang fei for xiapi to check this place

[lucid flicker]

i meant the first one i made

Bird no longer updates his playlist

[foggy socket]

looking at this and wondering if that matches with what i saw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T70XEK1WTA

rewatching RGN's analysis of FUNF, Ryan is the CEO; but my guess from this 34s long video, CEO is someone else and Ryan is the patient who [REDACTED] followed by loud static and gunshot?

then the final words overlapped and italicized read in caps: serial deduction or material deduction

[foggy socket]

something else that RGN mentioned about a website that doesn't exist

the time is 24hr so 21:47 is 9:47 PM

if you want to try the links i found, i put in here and you test it our yourself:

• Snapshot #1 = 20250408_21-47-41 = http://endlessfurthermoreiskey.com/?fp=a08b907386e4747bdb15c261bcb811d8
• Snapshot #2 = 20250711_07-18-35 = http://endlessfurthermoreiskey.com/?tr_uuid=20250711-1718-35b0-ae5a-5cc9a2b5c667&fp=-7

[gritty lily]

they do nothing, they refuse to load(Something went wrong screen)

[livid cedar]

Might seem kinda sudden. But what do y'all think about that censor block?

It clearly is important if it's censored

Can't be a player in my opinion, way too big

[long nexus]

wb

[long nexus]

yeah i stopped keeping up w the arg, life stuff

[chrome latch]

Chances are, the server shut down

[chrome latch]

Also, I think I see the Taint and/or void effect from Thaumcraft 5 in the lower right corner in this image

[chrome latch]

Yeah, the DNS expired for the domain here

[gritty lily]

have you checked out the google document?

[chrome latch]

No

Also, my archive will be slow for a few days - we're currently performing offsite backups and there's 900 GiB to go and our upload is only 20 Mbps

[gritty lily]

dang

I have updated the google doc a bit, please do follow the notice when making edits to the document. The notice is not there because someone did something, but is a reminder, gives a little direction if people get stuck, and gives some general ground rules to editing the document.

[gritty lily]

btw, if you want to add anything from the website into the document(e.g. a .wav file or something from the /videos section), let me know and I can make you a tab if you want to separate it or need one

[chrome latch]

Maybe later - although adding the archive itself as a link somewhere would be nice

[gritty lily]

already though of that, there is a link on the google doc and the original link in the master message bird sent a while back is still there(still in the pinned section)

[chrome latch]

Is there anything that should be added to the archive?

[gritty lily]

besides the new images that have been posted here and in the sister discussion and the new videos with there alternative versions(how you currently have several version of the same video in different formats), there really isn't anything new

but I would like the link to the google docs in notes or somewhere on the site along with a link to the updated playlist(the one created by lodenium)

[gritty lily]

also, I don't expect you to add to it right away, just let me know if you need a separate tab

[chrome latch]

No no, those "alternative versions" are because YT-DLP sucks and YouTube also sucks

TL;DR: Each video codec is worse or better in certain ways - there's no way to know which is which, and I can't even say "okay only use mkv" or "only use webm" because YouTube doesn't even reliably use the right codecs for the containers

So I just download all of them so it's up to the user which one is preferable xd

[chrome latch]

My archive?

[gritty lily]

it is up to you if you want to put the links as something like a .txt file in the archive, it is a request and do not expect you to actually put either link in the archive

[chrome latch]

I mean, if you get me a text file with stuff we can add it

[gritty lily]

also, understandable. do what you think is best regarding the videos

[chrome latch]

This is for the community - if the community needs something added I will 100% add it

It's just been so long I lost track

[gritty lily]

you able to upload an .md file?

[chrome latch]

Yes, but the browser will not show it formatted

There is no Markdown support in Caddy or browsers in general

[gritty lily]

ok

[gritty lily]

let me know if anything ever needs changing

[chrome latch]

Persicaria: We have added it, thank you. ^^

[barren smelt]

is there anything i missed in here while i was out in my Guiyi palace in liangzhou town?

[foggy socket]

just a few pics posted here and in https://discord.com/channels/773771861812183080/1232834125975781396, other than that, nm else

[iron sable]

Why are you here?

[lunar magnet]

i am back

[barren smelt]

don't tell me this a dead char

chat*

no messages in a while

...

[lucid flicker]

Yeah there hasn’t been anything new for a while now

I’m still hoping Retro makes a part 2 video

[gritty lily]

There are still the images were most recently posted by FUNF and there is the word that FUNF kept changing.

[queen sonnet]

I'm really busy, i wanted to take a look when i had some free time but i haven't got any since the pics appeared

[elder fiber]

denoised picture (not so correct)

[lucid flicker]

what am i looking at here

this looks so wrong
