Guys, how am I supposed to reap the benefits of your hard work when the puzzle is solved if you can't solve the puzzle? Seriously! ;-)

I just tried calling 866-237-1586...but, it's not a real number. So...nevermind that idea. It could be possible it's not a "237" number and one of the other ones, but...I don't really want to try all of them. Plus I have to leave in like 5 minutes. I hope this is almost figured out by the time I get back

I suppose, though, 4CES could still be FORCES, too.

I also looked at EPYTTNELIS and thought that maybe it could be TYPE SILENT instead of SILENT TYPE. Only because the game gets very loud as you go on collecting the fortunes. I did try collecting them all and then typing SILENT (Type "Silent"), but got zilch.

maybe we have to click the ones that dont get louder as the game progresses, so find the right order of clicks that dont get louder, get it? its just another thought to add to the list

 

[thesushi]

is there anything to figure out tho or is this like the hahaha times latest edition - just for fun?

1586 wasn't just accidentally put there.

B4 8J 8G 1M 3P 3I 4F 3L 8D 2K 2F 6C
9L 1H 6M 3D 8N 5K 4N 9A 5H 9H 6E 7A

forget maps, look for a code.

From what I can tell, they all sound the same, it's just that, the more you collect, they more jumbled it all gets and the louder it is. I even tried to match them up so it sounds like one synchronized big noise, bit it was too difficult.

i been punching keys, and racking my brain for like 3 hrs now.
nada, nuttin, zippo, zilch.

ima go eat.
i shall return to further rain frustration down on my household.

who was the last guy to get killed in the bank heist? there was talk of a correlation between the order that the goons were killed to the order of the symbols on the ticket. is the bus next?

I think you are right, that it was the bus driver. Not sure if that is a help or the result we are supposed to reach. A bus would certainly help "gather all my friends" though. Either way, there's something to be found and I am pretty sure my brain is too deep into my own thoughts on this now, so I wanted to throw out what I was working on.

First, I think there is something very specific to the whole backwards name thing. I think it is a clue in that something else will be backwards on this. Not sure what, that's the trouble. Also, I think the whole numbers and letters thing indicates some sort of conversion back and forth since the map coordinates idea still isn't panning out. Therefor, I created a double substitution. I wrote out the alphabet, then I wrote it out again underneath but backward (A over Z, B over Y, etc). Below those two lines I wrote out 1 through 26, therefore I know the corrisponding number forward and back. Trouble is I have so many different ways to encode and decode each bit of info, I have lost my mind. Any other ideas?

 

[Vampyre_Lestat]

has anyone tried pressing the buttons in numerical order?

 

[RoninWolf784]

i think we have lestat. i think weve tried everything.

Gah, I'm running out of ideas...

I agree, and hope we're right. I've been messing around with binary/hex input for an hour now. A rare "hot" day in Seattle and I'm inside. Seriously?

 

[Umbrellacorp817]

i noticed that the black marks are like holes. but we might just have been bamboozle

 

[mmxvi]

The buttons HAVE to be pushed in order- there is a buzzing noise if you try to press the button more than once- it's got to be like one of those combination locks

I don't think I can say it any better.

anyone know how to translate shorthand? like a stenographer

[The J Man]

WTF DO WE DO WITH THIS ****ING GAME

 

[Batsean]

I do.

 

[kristin]

I just got back home, but it doesn't look like I've missed too much.

What's taking so long, guys?

 

[neems25]

I do.

could these be in stenotype?

 

[RoninWolf784]

im down with putting them in order....but where does B4 play into that? does it turn into 2D or do we have to flip the rest of the ticket numbers? what do we do?!?!

 

[Surgemyster]

We get this near-unsolvable puzzle because we complained that we solved PunkDrop too easily. Lesson learned.

I spent the last six hours decoding the message hidden inside this fortune teller, and I believe I've found it. It involved a lot of transposition, pattern matching, broke a few ciphers here and there...here it is!

"You're too dumb to figure out this puzzle."

I cried a little.
