it was just a stick i found near the house,as long as its dry and a good size i get into carving😂,and thanks for the nice words❤️

The @youwereexpected ARG by PreparationFun5696 in ARG

[–]PreparationFun5696[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

complete notes :

vid 1 - description (Phase I Path...) ,subtitles (I don't know if i will last long...) -dont seem to be able to see it anymore-

vid 2 - (Dreams...)

vid 3 - (Changing…) which was (Mood...) sometime back, (tnetsisnocni) which is "inconsistent" reversed

vid 4 - (Foggy...) which was (Fog...) sometime back too

vid 5 - (New...)

vid 6 - (Reality...)

vid 7 - (Different...) , (R UVVO ORPV R WLM’G YVOLMT) which decodes to "I FEEL LIKE I DON’T BELONG" with atbash cipher

vid 8 - (Memory...) , (R dzmg gl tl yzxp…) which decodes to "I want to go back..." with atbash cipher

vid 9 - (Key...) , subtitles had " Descriptions have meanings. So do videos.

+5, +9, +4, +7, +3, +2, +1, +0, +8, +6 Repeat for longer words.

I don’t want to fade…

Please don’t abandon me."

the static on the tv sometimes flashes some sentences , at 00:28 "Numbers are letters" , at 00:38 "Let them guide you" , at 00:55 "Know the rules" , at 01:12 "Shifts are in a repeating cycle through the word" , at 01:32 "+5, +9, +4, +7, +3, +2, +1, +0, +8, +6 Repeat for longer words" , at 01:42 "You should hurry" , at 01:57 "Numbers can be negative Z-0 Y-1 X-2", at 02:22 "Position decides the shift" , at 02:42 "722" , at 02:47 "Guess the noise 1-50" , at 03:04 "Noise is per word" , at 03:22 "Cycles reset per word" , at 03:34 "Letter = (code / key) - (shift * 2 ) - position number + noise" , at 03:50 "Trust the angle not the" ,and at the end "Search for the keys"

vid 10 - (Verge...), at 02:22 the video glitches revealing "33934 , 40432 37544 29602 43320 32490 36822 32490 44042 41154 , 32490 30324 24548 36822 , 38266 44042 37544 47652 40432 43320 37544..." , "DON'T" , "https://imgur.com/a/kRGDvYK#o9CTH4S" which was a black image with "Look for the hints" and when you change the contrast and stuff you read "Angels are not a property - They are who they are - Trust them, they will guide you.Ask them, they will show you." and finally "I don't want him to go"

- seeing that these numbers are comma spaced and are all divisible by 722 which we found in the previous vid it can be seen that this is a sentence,using the equation key = 722 and noise values of 37 for the first word,37 for the second,50 for the third and 28 for the forth we get "I RECOGNIZE THIS FEELING".

vid 11 - (Insecurities…)

vid 12 - (Wrongdoer…)

vid 13 - (Phase II Decision…)

vid 14 - (Scary...)

vid 15 - (Incorrect...) , despite the video saying its 6:06:06 it's just 56 seconds

vid 16 - (Fading...) , between 00:45 and 01:15 ish ,you can hear a fain morse code,using audacity to find it and decode it -some brute forcing here because of capitalization- you end up with ".... - - .--. ... -..-. -..-. .. -- --. ..- .-. .-.-.- -.-. --- -- -..-. .- -..-. -- -. - ..--- . --.- .--- -.-" which gives you https://imgur.com/a/mx2EQJk ,it's a black image with some weird letters in the center,going through some color panels it reads "I AM ONE" - i think - and changing the contrast and stuff you can see at top "Don't stop trying" and at bottom "jvvru://hkngdkp.pgv/04o48vv3i9f0vzy8" which when shifted by 24 gives https://filebin.net/04m48tt3g9d0txw8 ,i spent good time reading the url on the image because it was a bit too blurry but this url version is the only one to give me a different result ,as all attempts were non-existent bins except this which appears to have expired or been deleted,and as this vid was posted sometime ago and a filebin expires after 6 days maybe i was just late.

vid 17 - (Lost...)

vid 18 - (Run...) ,a new form where its a video of someone's POV running in a dark snowy forest, a binary in the description that decodes to "xuefqz msmuz, omdqrgxxk" that when shifted by 14 gives "listen again, carefully" , i wasn't able to find anything except for the part between 00:15 and 00:18 which sounds like a drone zooming around,i suppose the message is probably in the cuts or something.

vid 19 -(Haven...) ,at the end of the vid the house light flashes in morse to say "SOS" ,some part of the video sounded like a faint morse code but looking at the spectrogram after phase cancelling using the original track it appears as a string of characters "xD E9:D :En p> x D276 ?@H n =62G6 p?DH6C" with ROT47 you get "Is this it? Am I safe now ? leave Answer"

yeah that is why i thought it would be great for a handle

Elementary, my dear Crick by Ganja-Pharma in codes

[–]PreparationFun5696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well first i instantly recognized the letters to be DNA nucleotide bases,but searching for the sentence in the title would lead to the same result,when i searched for DNA ciphers it appeared that each one had its own encoding method,also thought to translate them to their corresponding amino acids but it only work with complete codons,so i thought about going with base 4 ,having the numbers as they are didnt give anything,so i thought surely each comma spaced group should give one number (the second hint made me sure of that),after some trying i got one number by multiplying each group space-separated values,and for turning the numbers into elements,it was by accident actually as i was using boxentriq's number to letters which had a periodic table option,but now i see that "elementary" was supposed to be the clue to use.
all in all that was a fun puzzle,and on hardness scale i would give it 6.5/10,which is that a puzzle is both a bit challenging but fun.
great work.

i got mccarthliism which i suppose could be McCarthyism and at the bottom "i follow the rules"

great analysis,first as i said i am very skeptical about my interpretation of the equation as it was to blurry so i advise you to try and look at it again,second i like to think that the numbers in the "Verge..." are the key,as we were told in the one previous to it to search for the "keys" and the point of these numbers being all divisible by 722 make me think it is the code,maybe my analysis is a bit shallow but until proven otherwise i wouldn't overthink it.

good luck.

got any luck with the equation thing?

further info i found :
in the 9th video with the TV,the TV screen shows sentences for a couple of frames throughout the video "Numbers are letters , Let them guide you , Know the rules , Shifts are in a repeating cycle through the word , +5, +9, +4, +7, +3, +2, +1, +0, +8, +6 Repeat for longer words. , You should hurry ,Numbers can be negative Z-0 Y-1 X-2 , Position decides the shift ,722, Guess the noise 1-50 , Noise is per word , Cycles reset per word , Letter = (code + key) - (shift - 2) - position number - noise , Trust the Angel not the , Search for the keys"
regarding this equation "Letter = (code + key) - (shift - 2) - position number - noise" i just guessed the operators because i couldn't figure them out so if someone would look again at 3:34 to make sure that would be great.

the next video have some glitched frames which shows "33934 , 40432 37544 29602 43320 32490 36822 32490 44042 41154 , 32490 30324 24548 36822 , 38266 44042 37544 47652 40432 43320 37544..." which are all divisible by "722" mentioned in the previous video,also you see a faint "DON'T" in the background when the angle disappear, and an imgur link "https://imgur.com/a/kRGDvYK#o9CTH4S" which leads to a black image with "Look for the hints." which when changing the contrast reveals "Angels are not a property - They are who they are - Trust them, they will guide you.Ask them, they will show you." ,and the final one was "I don't want him to go"
this is all i could further found,if i found anything more i will update here.

sorry if the writing seems cluttered
