Game Theory: Buckshot Roulette's NEW ARG Is Unsolvable... For Now

[@SashaINAFT]

[@AV-yj5yl]

The dev of this game is Estonian. Koni is a word for a cigarette in Estonian, which immediately makes me think about the smoker on the catwalk. No idea if this is helpful. There is also the fact that in the game you can see a lot of Estonian writing on items, so trying to use Estonian language translations of already found clues could lead to something. Oh and the Bible was the first ever text written/translated in Estonian.

I would go the the website and tell the discord about your findings, or I'll just take a screenshot and send it. Either way it's important

My theory is that maybe the dealer is one of the creatures that was experimented on/captured. It escaped from the explosion and is now looking for revenge. Maybe?

[@liminalityy_]

That doesn't really make sense with the context that the dealer is not only playing by the rules, but doesn't force you to play the game or anything Though, the idea of a monster escaping containment and then immediately starting a russian roulette ring in a night club is really funny

[@MikZran]

I'm sure someone must have mentioned this, but, in old Linux stuff, "!" at the beginning of a line sometimes indicates that the text that follows is a command that is to be run by a command interpreter. And "cat " is the old Unix/Linux command to write a file to a screen. Taken together, "!cat " at some prompt might imply sending the contents of a file to the screen.

According to the ARG wiki, Rita (the ARG creator) has said that once we find the password it should be obvious, and not something that only makes sense once we try it. Although that was said a while ago and they still haven't found the password, but still. Kinda funny to imagine we might all be missing something really obvious somehow.

[@_Fizel_]

I came to add a comment that it has been found. Can't find the exact date it was though.

[@runesensured9781]

@@_Fizel_ I can't wait for the followup video. The arg wiki doesn't seem to include the reasoning of how they found the password, and I can't see any logic in it from what I saw. We need Tom's help on this one. It didn't sound like they'd come to a conclusion either yet though, so we might have to wait until they find out where it leads for a video. Still, I'm excited they figured it out!

[@Extreme_Kitten]

This will probably get buried, but I find it interesting that the white shadows in the Koni Äriksön bubble (the blue one under the phone advert) seem different from the words they are supposed to be shadowing (while trying to highlight it, I found that the words seem to be Volta Aricson (not mispelled)). I would also recommend seeing if anything comes from the favicon, though it seems to just be "$$". (I would like to be at least mentioned as the spotter if anything comes of this) (Edit: Looking at the failed passwords, it seems this Aricson tidbit was found already)

Just a handy tidbit of info regarding Carbon Steel: the "monsters" in that game are actually animals that've been immensely warped by the intense pressures of the depths to the point of unrecognizability. The "execs" within the game stated that they were doing experiments to see how subterranean pressures cause severe mutations on surface-dwelling lifeforms. And if you choose not to try and escape (yes, there is a choice), the guys up top will say that because of your testing expertise, they've decided to make your character the first *human* test subject to undergo this process. Then, you're knocked out by someone from behind, and when you wake up, where are you now? That's right, the *same* test tube that you've been pulling the creatures up with, going through the *same* test of being sedated and having data extracted from you. I feel like Tom (more or less, intentionally or not) neglected to mention this bit of info, and that it adds some extra context to what's going on-

[@KatlinPrince]

Could it partially have something to do with the player character from Carbon Steel? It was confirmed that the poem isn't a poem but a "What am I?" riddle. In that sense the first line "(1) they won't ever forgive me or will i not forgive myself. i made a wish upon a falling star and it brought me nothing but misery." would refer to the player realeasing the monsters that killed and forced them into 'the shutdown'. The wish would make most sense referring to the players wish to earn a years worth of money in the three days of working in the facility. "(2) the machine hungers" while it is a bit of a stretch to say that its the machine used to pull creatures up from the pit it could also mean..."(3) fed by booming shots" In this instance instead of a loud noise booming would have to mean the forceful/powerful or crazy high amounts of anesthesia used to knock the creatures out during testing. After this I started drawing blanks and couldn't come up with anything for lines 4-9. If this makes any sense please lmk because everything else I've come up with like "slot machine", "war" "gambling" has already been tried as the password and did not work.

I have some information that may help; I was playing casually when i started too have very bad luck, I was on the second round of normal mode when I died, I thought it would send me back too the main menu like it usually does, but it cut too my character in the bathroom of the club being brought too life by a shadowy figure (who I guess might be the same figure that we see in the hallway smoking at the beginning of the game) anyways, the figure explains how we are lucky he had a defibrillator on hand, then says “get up, the night is still young”. When you then go back too the roulette room, the dealer says “welcome back” and resumes us on the second round without having too sign the waiver again.. it might be nothing, but I haven’t really seen this mentioned online, and was surprised when it happened in my playthrough… So I figured I would share.

There were other codes and menus besides this one. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

Helpful or not, it is still cool.

when tom's voiceover suddenly stopped and was replaced by the huh cat sound i laughed so hard i lost my tetris game ToT

[@Subtocoolygamey]

where

[@Axolotls-questions]

1:56 Ok "grabs Minecraft hammer that is also a nerf gun"

[@diddleysquin]

My half awake brain: "Smart kitten", button that says cat, line with wolf... I'd be checking Dante's Inferno, the bible and voltas for anything relating to large felines as my jumping off point for passwords

[@Its.a_me_]

Everytime I see a game/film theory thumbnail, i click it expecting to hear MatPat's voice 😭😭😭

[@ShortArtGuy]

Tom getting better with these theories

[@Purple-lucas]

The fact that someone made a lore so complicated that not even matpat(and his team) can find out deserves a award

[@UberEatsChanAmirGoat]

Love how this guy is keepin up wit our boi MatPat

[@Samuel-468]

What do you mean

[@ArtemisAYO]

[@Bettermadness_YT]

I'm suprised GT did not fall off when out figurative lord and saviour matpat left.

[@Samuel-468]

Matpat left?

16:30 i think this phrase might be the dealer's thoughts, as hes invincible but may want to dissipate or stop living.

I have been holding back watching the new game theory videos because i grew up with having MatPat but so far you are doing great trying to fill his shoes keep up the good work.

[@Fireborn-o4v]

I'm suprised that game theory has not done mr hopps playhouse

[@Fireborn-o4v]

What's that meant to mean

[@spaceacepl4636]

and i'm surprised that they didn't make a video about valle verde

[@Blaine-qh6yd]

Another theory: The dealer is another victim who has trauma from playing the last dealers game and took his spot to ease the trauma. Edit: most likes ive ever gotten 😃

[@Mr.Mister0621]

That's a good theory

[@God_of_RDA]

No

[@AnooNeko]

The dealer isn't human. He has a floating head, and a pair of floating hands. He's not a human at all.

[@Sarukana]

So the line about "making a wish upon a falling star" is talking about making a deal with the devil right? maybe we're looking for a specific demons name? something closely associated with greed, maybe Mammon? don't know much about demonology.

[@jemmathistthegreat7749]

If it’s to do with a specific demon’s name, then it is worth noting that Satan does connect with the game (weather that be literal or metaphorical, like god) because, there are a few names that the game doesn’t let you use as they’re already on waivers, these are “Dealer” “God” and surprise surprise “Satan”, however, there is only reasonable proof that God (weather literal or metaphorical) died, which means that it’s likely that “Satan” both played and won the game

[@CaramelCraft]

I’ve been waiting for you guys to cover this!

[@AMVMaker26]

I don’t know if it relates but in Dante’s inferno the judge of the dead is king Midas who sends them down the opposite of bringing them up. After inferno they go to purgatory. The goal of inferno in some guesses is to rescue bellatristia, or bellatrix (depending on version, probably misspelled). The hungry could refer to the gluttony greed level and either the rules or a member there like Cerberus. Dante’s guild in the inferno is Virgil. Just a few inferno tidbits hope this helps.

[@MissCaraMint]

Do you mean Beatrice? Isn’t she more a benevolent force saving Dante from damnation by way of sending Virgil to save him?

[@the_archer76]

Honestly this is crazy, so far out and insane,i don’t think there’s actually any lore, it’s just a fun game

[@FlameSoulis]

Here's some ideas I have: The registration number on the Koni screen and the text letters of the phone might be related. If we're diving into Carbon Steel, much of that involved different formulas and ratios needed for the drugs involved. Perhaps something form there is involved.

[@jamaljanquavius9980]

good idea ill try sum

[@questionabletaste5405]

The game is probably about a random guy trying to escape from the shutdown with the money he wins from the dealer

[@E_D___]

We can assume that the phone will be used to translate a string of numbers into letters or a string of letters into numbers. (but probably numbers into letters). Try using it as a decoder on anything that may look like a clue. (even on things you already used. nothing stops the creator from using the same clue for multible things as they created their own cypher with the phone) Anther note: This kind of developer (that makes ARG's more hard that they intend) tend to put much more clues than you think - and they also tend to pick each word they say carefully. Go throw anything they wrote in the discord and patch notes of their games, maybe you will notice a pattern.

[@contextredacted]

return to game theory routes! do a video (or a short) on how light villager is in smash bros to be lifted by only 2 ballons!

[@NaudVanDalen]

13:18 Reminds me of MrBeast. Including the downfall.

[@CursedUkiku]

As soon as I saw the phone numbers and letter being jambled as well as the hint at the very end, it immidiatelly made me think "hey what if I type the numbers from the amount of money i get at the end of the game using the keys on the phone" and it may say something?

[@saqu_pl9841]

Phone is named "koni_arikson" or something like that, maybe that's it?

[@Dinoking-p1t]

I wonder how many osha violations each chapter of batim would have, you guys should consider checking it out!

[@kaisermaximal8123]

We've had so many lore episodes lately, can we have a science one? Maybe about how Helldiver pids are theoretically possible?

Honestly, I must concur

PLEASE HELP WITH BILL CIPHER!!

He can't, go on the website and type in theory

How would that work for the channel? Logically, wouldn't they need to create "Book Theory"?

This guy is actually doing such a good job after matpat. Must be hard for him but he is doing it impressively. Props to this guy for filling such big shoes.
