GH Litter Discussion 2019

[Burrito Bunny]

I’ll say that it’s not related to France’s politics. Try a simpler definition of premier.

Must admit I’m surprised you found that one haha, good job, but not the one.

[catmother456]

Hooray, well done you guys! That's some nice detective work. Now you gotta look at Aliria's huge discovery!

<snip>


Which looks entirely black but it's not.
Bought over into Photoshop and using the magic wand tool, I found this:
SAMUEL F B
-
FRIENDS, FAMILY, TEAMMATES. . .

Samuel F.B, better known as Samuel Morse, was the inventor of the Morse Code (another hint we've been working on).

I'll leave what I've found here for others to work on but this is what I've got from a prelim search but this feels so red herring that I wanna scream.

Then perhaps rockruff is referring to this disovery Aliria found back on page 24:

I looked through some other staff member's signatures:

Dama: (#2) ...-
Saikiyo: (#3) = (in tiny text)
Seasonal: (#4) --.-
AquilaFuga: (#5) .-. ^
Vampiric: (#8) _
Merilin: (#9) ..
Raire: (#10) .
Swiftalu: (#11) --
SoulWings: (#12) ..-
Pi.: aye aye

This clearly isn't everything, but I put what I have into a morse code translator and got ?v=QR^??_IEMU

That looks like part of a URL, maybe? We're definitely going to need to find the missing letters.

I’m lost

Premier translates to 'first' (along with other definitions, but i'mma work with this one first)
Bunny said find a simpler definition. i have.
either she means the first premier of france, OR her cat is the first one. think it's worth exploring...
she could also mean geography or language wise... i'm trying to figure it out ^^

[Aliria]

I'm guessing "lherzolite 7" is the big discovery Rockruff mentioned, because that was in one of his posts. It makes me happy that I have a lot of posts that could possible be considered big discoveries - I haven't been able to investigate many of the things I've found, and this is calling more attention to them!

Edit: "Friends, family, teammates" could refer to the people who have the Morse code in their signatures, since most of the ones we've found were in other staff member's signatures, but one was in a friend's signature. That left family, and I remembered reading somewhere that Rockruff had a sister who played CS, so I found her profile and found "(#6) --.-"

MORSE CODE POTENTIALLY

lesbian: (#1) ..--. (??)ÜE(?)AE if Ü is pronounced in english
Dama: (#2) ...- (V)
Saikiyo: (#3) = <BT>(Break) OR just a plain equals sign. equals signs in morse translate to -...- but an = can also be used as a Break Line in morse messages
Seasonal: (#4) --.- (Q)
AquilaFuga: (#5) .-. ^ (R)
Jayfrost: (#7) .- ^ (A)
Vampiric: (#8) _ (T)
Merilin: (#9) .. (I)
Raire: (#10) . (E)
Swiftalu: (#11) -- (M)
SoulWings: (#12) ..- (U)
Tarkeli (#13) .--. ^ (P)
Zeena: (#14) .. ^ (I)

ÜEV=QR^(?)A^TIEMUP^I^ ------(?) is left for #6 unfound as of yet.

Adding in #6 , the code is "?V=QRQATIEMUPI"

I tried putting that into Youtube, since it looked like a video URL, and got nothing. Then, I realized that YT URLs are case sensitive, and those carets might have a meaning. So, I tried "?v=qRqAtiemuPI" ... and still got nothing. I think we're close though!

Another edit: I tried switching out the T for an underscore, and here we go!

The video is a minute and a half long and completely black and silent, except for a frame where it flashes the word "Rockruff" and a frame which flashes "#86"

Edit 3: #86 could be a reference to this hoard.

@rockruff Is the short cat yours?

[Ria Sys~]

Oh! I think i understand Burr's hint now! As i said before, 'premier' translates to first. I know i'm on the right track, because Burr mentioned 'her premier home'
Her cat is named after her first home in France. We just need to figure out what her first home was located!

EDIT: alright, back to thinking.
she dropped off a hint earlier pertaining to Jan 1st. in her siggy, after translating it, 'nous rebâtirons' is 'we will rebuild'
doesn't seem too out of place with where she put it, but i think it's worth investigating.
i think... something in the place she's talking about happened on Jan 1st, which needs them to rebuild. it's all i got, and probably wrong, but then again, i could be on a trail. still investigating.

Wow that's some AMAZING detective work all of you!!!

Good work Aliria, but there might be another kitten with short legs in the litter

[Aaron✦]

so basically, i accidentally clicked on the cs team link when i was checking something, and i decided to scroll down for some reason. and when i got to lucky333123 i noticed this morse code:

.- - / .-.. . .- ... - / --- -. . / -.-. --- .-.. --- .-. / ..- ... . -.. .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-

that code didn't was there before, so i decided to translate it:

At least one color used...

if this code is actually related to the GH litter then lucky is probably talking about this kitty:

this is the only kitty that one colour was used in it (not including eyes and nose). the rest have patterns on their fur/items in other colours.

"At least one" means more than one! (:

@rockruff Is the short cat yours?

INCREDIBLE detective work to yourself and azkaboy, well done! You guys can share the cookie spoils I've received so far <:

For all that hard work, I'll go ahead and deny the short cat! Although we're similar in stature, this kitten is not mine.

As another reward for getting it, I'll answer 3 questions - ask wisely, I'll pick from the given questions in a few hours from now.

[Ria Sys~]

@rockruff does your kitty bare smudged markings? (like, to create an ombre look, or a setting sun look or such)

does your kitty bear line-edits?

is your kitty going to have a dog-like structure?
