📝 - Virus Eradication - Planning Thread

Planning take away for me

Landing on seed does not matter, the void out is a AOE attack meant to hit as many targets as possible

Next seed after protecting Aug is Feb 6. Protect Feb 8 and 2(just cause 8 is my bday, idc) fill the rest with dupes.

Leave Jan 7 blank/null to freeze if it doesn’t work

I personally believe that destruction doesn’t depend on the type of date and would like to petition option 2. I’ve also had a bit of a fear of messing up the seed order by cramming February full of candidates and letting the virus run free. It’ll knock off a bunch of candidates for sure, but if deleting a future, non-next seed messes up the pattern in an unpredictable manner, we might end up with another runaway virus offshoot.

Personally, I’m all in for unidirectionally cramming adjacent dates next to the next 3 seeds such that the virus extinguishes itself again once they’ve all been consumed per seed.

If you were responding to my clarification post please read my original post. Your take away may be misguided.

We have been specifically told that the virus is searching for something. Destroying/voiding things is not necessarily what the virus is trying to do so treating its actions as its goal may be missing the bigger picture.

The community is not in agreement with whether or not landing on the seeds dates matters (this is our main stumbling block right now).

I assure you I am almost certainly misguided.

My post was more of a IMO this is my takeaway of how that plan “should-ish work”.

I thought the options were a “what is the consensus” on whether the seed date is attempting to directly hit a memory block or not

:+1::+1: yall are doing great work carry on. Just throwing my two pence around. If it helps pick em up, if not feel free to ignore them to your hearts content.

Oh, I interpreted “take away” as you explaining your understanding of the plan as opposed to providing input.

I appreciate the input haha.

Tried to run a check on the seed date predictions based on the patterns spotted by @Frazzlesprite if you need something to cross-check against. If the last seed was 8th Aug 2016 my sheet is predicting 29th Jan 2017 as the next seed.

@toddumptious Slight change of plans, it seems like we were working with bad data and the actual next seed target is January 28, 2017 (confirmed by @Frazzlesprite ).

Given the new information the two courses of action should be (based on the response from Archie):

Option 1 (landing on a seed date matters):

  • duplicate July 7, 2016 memory to January 28,2017
  • create new no/value memory on January 27, 2017
  • preserve August 24, 2016 to paralyze the virus again if the plan fails

Option 2 (landing on a seed does not matter):

If you do not respond to this message in the affirmative by 2026-07-20T11:30:00Z, @ThatBomberBoi will send an email to @the_architect requesting execution of Option 1 above. Please follow up on NMScord if you are active prior to then.

(Edited to reflect more precise deadline timing)

Cloning to Jan 28 must be the last step.

Nothing from Archie so I guess we go with option 1 :saluting_face:

Nice catch on the bad data Frazzle.

I say send it in before this thing decides to wake up.

Speaking of, i need to do that properly myself :hot_beverage: :bacon:

It seems a plan has been launched. What exactly it is, we will see

Been out the loop…

Gold memory seems a plausible fundamental target.

Why “no/value” the day before though? It seems to be self-replicating…

Can’t we duplicate the Pi page on 27, jan 2017 instead ?

The no/value the day before is sacrificial, to tell us whether or not the virus has stopped

Thanks for transferring the discourse over @sheralmyst <3

This was the plan as it was sent by me to Archie, drafted up by @ThatBomberBoi because I was still booting my brain up, with some last minute corrections to errors we made with dates spotted by @Frazzlesprite

Adding this last little response I sent to Archie when they informed us of its apparent success, to cap the exchange off :slight_smile:

I’m enjoying Bjork’s cover of It’s oh so Quiet. : D

That’s a coincidence! Bjork was the inspiration for my chosen Prime. Many happy memories of when her debut album was released. (oh so quiet was on her second album I think).

1949 (French Version): The song was adapted into French as “Tout est tranquille” for the French Operateurs : D (Edit 1949 is also a prime!)

Lyrics for the sleuths:

Summary

[Intro]
Shh, shh

[Verse 1]
It’s oh, so quiet, shh, shh
It’s oh, so still, shh, shh
You’re all alone, shh, shh
And so peaceful until

[Chorus 1]
You fall in love, zing, boom
The sky up above, zing, boom
Is caving in, wow bam!

[Post-Chorus 1]
You’ve never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh, you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die

[Verse 2]
Till it’s over, and then, shh, shh
It’s nice and quiet, shh, shh
But soon again, shh, shh
Starts another big riot

[Chorus 2]
You blow a fuse, zing, boom
The devil cuts loose, zing, boom
So what’s the use, wow, bam!
Of falling in love?

[Verse 1]
It’s oh, so quiet
It’s oh, so still
You’re all alone
And so peaceful until

[Chorus 3]
You ring the bell, bim, bam
You shout and you yell, hi, ho-ho
You broke the spell

[Post-Chorus 2]
Gee, this is swell, you almost have a fit
This guy is “gorge”, and I got hit
There’s no mistake, this is it!

[Verse 2]
Till it’s over, and then
It’s nice and quiet, shh, shh
But soon again, shh, shh
Starts another big riot

[Chorus 2]
You blow a fuse, zing, boom
The devil cuts loose, zing, boom
So what’s the use, wow, bam!
Of falling in love?

[Outro]
The sky caves in, the devil cuts loose
You blow, blow, blow, blow, blow your fuse
Ahh! When you fall in love
Shh

Oh wow, I genuinely had no idea that was a cover but makes sense now that I think of it, stands out so much compared to the rest of her body of work. I always just assumed it was a throwback/celebration of those big band era tunes.
