Easter Egg within the character creator [3/6 found]

5 + 9 = 14
14 x 6 = 74
7 - 4 = 3
Half Life 3 confirmed

 

You guys do know that "Lorem ipsum etc bingo bongo." when the roadmap was first released was the description for every single one of the roadmap items. It was a bug that their descriptions didn't show and the filler text was shown instead (at least for me and my friend). That is, "Lorem ipsum etc bingo bongo." There's no need to accuse people of lying and mistrust them...

 

There are secret Easter eggs in the code this time as well. Though some of it is a little more vulgar and there is less of it

 

I wonder why Tiy hasn't at least given us a hint yet.

 

I think I found an easter egg. I tried this and got a download >.>.

 

Start a counter for the number of people who try this.

 

haha try to be a little bit more convincing
My reaction would've been APOJDOIAHDUIAHDANUOISAOISNDAN RELEaSE ADJIAOD *heartattack*

If you click "Create Character", you indeed get a download.

 

Ya, I don't think that bingo bongo has anything to do with it either, it's just the text filler thingy.
But in their defence, Tramsan did say for the last clue that you didn't need to know how to code or decode things to solve it, and it involved a lot of coding...

 

It involved no coding at all. It was codED, but it did not involve any sort of computer programming.

 

Well it involved knowledge of code. As in, you needed to know what the code was to be able to decode it.
Or did you purposely say it doesn't need coding to throw us off??? (making us think we don't need any knowledge of code)
You... MONSTER
(jk i wuv you)

 

I think tramsan meant he coded it in the webpage, but it's probably a picture clue..

 

Err... What? We're talking about the previous clue, the one from the March Starbound Chronicle.

 

Lol totally misread that.

 

Someone asked me if you needed to know coding or something to solve it, to which I replied "or something". "Coding" isn't code breaking or decryption, it's computer programming. I was being completely accurate and truthful with that statement.

 

Sorry guys, we've just been...

 

I demand explanations:

[216:05] <@mollygos> ok guys
[216:07] <@mollygos> do you want a hint
[216:19] <@mollygos> the only letters you need to pay attention to in that code
[216:19] <@mollygos> are
[216:22] <@mollygos> HEY VZQO WNOTU
[216:29] <Auxilium> there's no HEY
[2162] <Auxilium> here's H3Y
[2164] <@mollygos> there's H3Y
[216:40] <@mollygos> but it's really HEY
[216:43] <@Ghostar> Tramsan said there was no L33t
[216:48] <Auxilium> yeap ^
[216:50] <@mollygos> tramsan is a big fat liar
[216:54] <@mollygos> lmao
[216:55] <@mollygos> or he just
[216:56] <@mollygos> forgot
[217:00] <@Ghostar> ...
[217:01] <@mollygos> but
[217:02] <Meld> Tramsan said HE wouldn't add L33t
[217:13] <@mollygos> -i- think the code is just as obnoxiously difficult
[217:21] <@mollygos> even given the hint i gave you
[217:23] <@mollygos> so
[2173] <Meld> Do not quote Tramsan wrong. He said HE wouldn't do l33t. HE wouldn't.
[2179] <@mollygos> he did it!

One of you is lying.

 

Just replacing one E with a 3 is hardly leet speak. E->3 is one of the oldest substitutions of our alphabet, done centuries before electricity was even discovered. Leet would have been something like "|-|3'/ \/ZQ0 \/\/|\|07U" or similar. Besides, if had left a plain "HEY" in the middle of the text, it would have been just too obvious. That said, I can see how it could be confusing, and I apologize for that. I've never intentionally misled anyone with any of my hints, and this one could have been more accurate. I believe the context I said it in was when people tried to interpret the garbage data in the clue as letters, and I was trying to gently nudge them away from that.

 

Unintentionally misleading people is disturbingly easy to do, especially on the internet where alot of stuff is communicated through text or images. Communication, how does it work? I have this problem alot sadly.

Still think its cool that you went to all the trouble of putting in easter eggs and hints in the first place, though.
