counterfeitsaint posted:What happened with the ARG? Was there actually not a statue and instead the puzzle thing? Dude, there were literally zero posts in this thread for the entirety of April, May, and June. Talking about how another cartoon compares to GF is far from a highjacking, and in any case it's the best this thread is going to get once the Cipher hunt ends.

The jigsaw puzzle contained another clue, and people people are, I believe, currently bashing their collective heads against the final clue. Also nerds managed to derive the clue without finishing the jigsaw puzzle, so Alex Hirsch promised to release the pilot episode if they put the whole thing together.

I thought this was just a silly game, what's the endgame here? Just the pilot episode to whatever Hirsch is working on now or is it something GF related?

Gravity Falls had an old pilot episode which was animated in Flash. Alex Hirsch said it was really embarrassing and he'd rather not release it. Shaming Alex seems to be the big prize at stake. I am happy with the reward system.

We're pretty sure the 'actual' endgame is the statue of Bill, the pilot is just the original Gravity Falls pilot. Here's the whole mess as it currently stands: Cipherhunt!

Did the hat fall off? Also, are they moving it? I feel that it would be cooler to just leave it there and freak some campers out at some point in the future.

To be fair, with the exception of the final clue (it too like 5 days before Alex gave them a hunt to solve it, because no one could figure it out) none of the hints were hard to figure out. The puzzle took a bit longer than expected. But how long did you expect it to go on for, because there's no way it would've taken like. months. Thousands (millions?) of fans working together to solve and find the clues, even including Jason Ritter and Alex's sister is gonna result in the hunt going fairly quick    https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/760689120758857729

People usually try to avoid getting red eyes from the flash, but I wouldn't be surprised if the vampire children effect was deliberate in this one case.

Bill also makes a guest appearance in the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-6-103-to-6-104-war-of-the-teacups/ You should read this, by the way.

Say Nothing posted:Bill also makes a guest appearance in the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons Not every pyramid eye thing is a reference to Bill Cipher. Bill Cipher is a reference to a pyramid eye thing that goes back way, way earlier. If a pyramid eye being wears a top hat and behaves like a manic trickster spirit, then you have a case for it being a Gravity Falls reference. (Sorry, one of my pet peeves is when people say A is a reference to B, when A and B are actually both references to C.) Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Aug 7, 2016 |

It's a good comic, yes, but basically a huge battle broke out. That's all that's going on in that page. So back to the Cypher Hunt. Wasn't there are a thumbdrive found at the statue? Did anyone ever put the contents of that online?

The Cypher Hunt was kind of a crap shoot wasn't it? What with clues being placed in spaces that hadn't agreed and then it turning out even Bill was on land he shouldn't be on. Kind of odd for Alex/Disney, unless the latter wasn't involved, which is the impression I get, in which case it was still drat impressive.

And maybe Alex thought it would take people a real long time to figure out the clues but its the internet, it's full of people with way too much time on their hands.

Alex did it all himself, Disney had nothing to do with it. There were a few things that could've been done better on his part, although the final spot of the Bill statue ended up being messier than he planned. He did get permission to put Bill there but other issues cropped up unexpetedly. However there were things like, the Waddles poster ended up getting super damaged by the rain, the puzzle ended up being a bit more complicated than he thought, the final clue took like a week to solve and no one could figure it out until Alex basically gave them the answer, and Alex not telling anyone at that one place that there was a clue behind the Nun picture ended up causing issues that could've been avoided. Even still though for the most part it went pretty smoothly and it felt like most fans got a big kick out of it. It forced a ton of people to work together to solve it. Although there were a few times where some people actually argued over who got to keep what and it was like eugh stop
