Your personal Tumblr library awaits
After posting a more detailed analysis covering many different aspects of Quackity's newest teaser, I still have some thoughts about the final few messages which I just want to share here.
MESSAGE FROM THE FEDERATION. [4.30] WE SHALL BE RETURNING SHORTLY. THERE IS WORK TO COMPLETE. YOU WILL HEAR FROM US. [05,00,25]
What I find confusing here is the two... lets call them items.
I assume [4.30] is a time stamp where 4 is the month, april and 30 is the date. This means that here, it is talking about the day the message was broadcasted. The day the teaser was released. Quite obvious so far.
The second 'time stamp' is a lot more cryptic though. [05,00,25]
The easiest assumption is that it's may 2025, but here, the date is the 0th??? This would mean that we HAVE already heard from them. Or maybe the 0th of may is just april the 30th. It could hint towards something being hidden in the video, something we need to find, but I think that is somewhat of a reach. This isn't an ARG (I would guess), you can't wait for a few nerds to take the video apart until you can start with your project so I don't know, but I'll keep my eyes out.
There are even more differences between the two items than I initially thought.
[4.30] and [05,00,25]
1. And most obvious, one has two numbers while the other has three.
2. One uses a dot to divide them, the other uses commas.
3. One has a leading zero (05 and 00), the other doesn't (4).This makes me think that the second is not a date at all. If it is though, it could be the 25th of May (unconnected but it could also be the arrival date of the French streamers to the island which is also in May). But if it was a date, it would be formatted like the other one because it IS like the other one.
This leads me to believe it is something different.
1. A time stamp in the video (the fifth minute and .25 seconds), but I checked and there's nothing out of the ordinary. Just the normal screen and classical music.
2. A location where we receive their messages. Unlikely since this is probably not an ARG. If it is, I wouldn't know where to start searching.
3. A duration. 5 months (and 25 days) is unlikely, wayy too long. 5 weeks and 25 hours too, since there should be something in May. 5 days and 25 minutes, possible but why the specific minutes? Also, this would explain why the date at which the message is sent is at the top, so you know from where to count. Still, if it was a duration it would've just been formatted as [05:00:25], no?
The truth is, I have no idea.
