Mŷs Tæ Rae are your secrets under attack?!

Mŷs Tæ Rae's avatar

You found me!! Ahhh!

Frantic rustling noises of random valuables haphazardly gathered for a hasty exit

Jackbeard's avatar

Well well well. I guess this be why you don't send a boffin to do a pirate lord's job. Did I mention I'm a pirate lord yet? Quite the fierce one I'll have ye know.

Wadd Enderas's avatar

So other then thinking 'Mŷs Tæ Rae' looks an awful lot like 'Mystery'. I have no immediate thoughts on this one. Has anyone got any ideas?

Heretical Coffee's avatar

Triangles is my thought, hence look in pochven

Wadd Enderas's avatar

Triangles could be a good shout. I'd dismissed them as part of Just About's design set, but that may have been premature

At the bat in Jita?

Mŷs Tæ Rae how collaborative are you expecting the path to your secrets to be? Is the path followed through teamwork or best completed in private?

Mŷs Tæ Rae's avatar

Ha! Amusing! The path to my secrets is uncrackable, whether alone or with help!

Rich's avatar

I think what this strange person is trying to say, Wadd Enderas, is that it should be possible with either approach. You're totally free to collaborate, but as before there's only one winner, so as players approach the final stages you might want to shift from altruism to individualism!

Mŷs Tæ Rae's avatar

You got that from what I said?!

Schadsquatch's avatar

Hey Rich. I sent you a DM in Reddit. I have found 21 pictures. What am I missing lol.

Schadsquatch's avatar

I'm going to post what I have found thus far. Hopefully someone can make sense of it.

Best of luck everyone

Completed the picture with the 2 last photos they posted earlier this morning.

Schadsquatch's avatar

I'm guessing it has something to do with the link in the picture? Need to complete the rest of the url to find the answer? Or the answer is somewhere in Google Maps.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Oh, I don't know. I'm no fount of knowledge.

I was also working on the assumption that we need to complete the URL. I was focusing on the multicoloured letters scattered around, converted the symbols from windings. Even considered trying to use just the blue letters as Bleu de Chanel is the only real Chanel fragrance.... but there are so many different possible combinations down that route that I got a bit lost

Schadsquatch's avatar

I tried typing in most of the fonts as the end of the url, nothing worked.

Schadsquatch's avatar

I'm currently trying to change the font of the website they linked. Nothing atm

Wadd Enderas's avatar

Yeah, I'm at a bit of a loss - I've identified what I believe to be the fonts used for each of the letters, which I'll share here, but I'm then not sure what to do with that information.

Red letters: Windings, Rockwell, Cooper Std, Futura Black, Garamond, Frankfurter Green letters: Windings, Cooper Std, Frankfurter, Cooper Std, OCR A, Rockwell Blue letters: Babyteeth, Garamond, Cooper Std, OCR A, Impact, neu alphabet

Which leaves the following fonts unused: Arial, DIN, Poppins, Bodoni, Times, Johnston

And these three fonts just seem to be straight up wrong? Trade Gothic, Source, Helvetica

I really want the Blue letters to be important because of the Chanel bottles in the background (I'm confident Bleu De Chanel is the only real one) but I've tried several combinations of letters after the URL to no avail so far.

So yeah, bit stuck

Mŷs Tæ Rae's avatar

Ooh are we listing things? I LOVE listing things!

  • Arbalest, Barbut, Gambeson, Gorget, Trebuchet, Zweihander

  • Coelophysis, Deinonychus, Giganotosaurus, Hipsolophodon, Styracosaurus, Utahraptor

  • Bast, Hecate, Loki, Mercury, Thoth, Zeus

Rich's avatar

You misspelled "hypsilophodon".

Wadd Enderas's avatar

Schadsquatch I've cracked the image! So many layers to it D:

  • Seperate the coloured letters and symbols into their individual colours

  • As we suspected, you need to identify each of the fonts for the letters and symbols (that's really susprisingly challenging)

  • The order each coloured series alphabetically, but not according to the letter itself, alphabetically following the alphabetic order of the font names.

  • Then use the reordered series of letters for each colour to complete the URL across the image.

  • You end up with 3 functioning URLs

Wadd Enderas's avatar

Schadsquatch I was never able to crack the safe, are you happy to share how it was done?

Schadsquatch's avatar

Basically I had to go through the entire feed and find every single post that our friend Mŷs Tæ Rae Commented, in order. Wasn't too hard, just took time.

Wadd Enderas's avatar

And then how did that give you a 13 digit code?

I'm intending to put together a video on the full solution for peeps like I did in stage one so any detail you can provide will be greatly appreciated :D
