Secret Anomalies (Secret)

[Frank Munoz]

Clues of the missing tokens
Solved

Welcome, and salutations my fellow *Arrows*(term for ffr player, coined in the year 2034).
I have been tasked with a deadly mission by our very own selves from the ~kinda near future.
All FFR tokens have been erased from the annals of time, and I need YOUR help to retrieve their true name, so our future stepartists can reforge them back to what they once were.
The monstrous fiend who erased the tokens left behind these vague, and puzzling clues.
I shall share them with you all, and in return I offer these ancient relics we call "credits" for every riddle solved.

Thank you
and may the good arrow guide your way

1: What is 2 rough for some to mash, but easier after?(5,000 credit bounty)

2: howmanycolorsarethere?(5,000 credit bounty)

3: There are about 546 or more traps at this time.(5,000 credit bounty)

4: I have 99 problems, but this token ain't one.(5,000 credit bounty)

5: I suspect there 9 good mountains here.. maybe even less.(5,000 credit bounty)

I promise to do my best to inform yall of any developments when they arrive, but for now..
go and explore our old base, R^3, and learn it's secrets
May the good arrow guide your way.



feel free to discuss your findings and other things related here as one may know more than the other.

My fellow Arrows, a new anomaly has shown recent activity at our old base, R^3.
Our Charteologist were able to capture a small portion of it just a few seconds short a full minute after it began; here's what it looks like.

Anomaly 1(5,000 credit bounty)


Our Charteologist are hard at work, and will reveal more information about this anomaly as soon as they are able.
In the meantime..
I urge you all to explore the secrets of our old base, R^3.
Help us rediscover, and return this anomaly to it's true self.


Goodluck out there

[time expedition update; current day in the past: 9/18/2024]
My fellow Arrows, a new anomaly has shown recent activity at our old base, R^3.
Our Charteologist were successful in capturing a small portion of it, and the time elapsed from when the anomaly started is..
zero?.. What!?
"HEY, what happened over there?!"
"..so.. the Anomaly Sighting Subjugator, heh, uh yea we made it automatic! or we tried..
Turns out the timer fused with this one wing we left out last week.
Nothing bad happened the last time so we figured it was okay. Man.. that was our last timer.. and our last wing!"
Sorry, Arrows, looks like this is all of the report for now.
Here's the portion of the anomaly they were able to capture.

Anomaly 2(5,000 bounty)


Our Charteologist are hard at work.. I think.. and will reveal any new findings as soon as they are able.

Anomaly 3
[time expedition; current day in the past: 2/05/2025]

My fellow Arrows, a new anomaly has shown recent activity at our old base, R^3!
Our Charteologist uhm.. kinda captured a portion of it.
The timer thingy is still winged up so, for now, there is no time of capture (sad face emote)
Here's the piece of the anomaly they were able to capture.

Anomaly 3(10,000 bounty)


Our Charteologist have been having a hard time at work these past .. wait, what year is it? Anyways..
I urge you all to explore the secrets of our old base, R^3.
Help us rediscover, and return this anomaly to its true self.


Goodluck out there

hmm.. excellent! I shall report these findings back to base at R^5. Results should return in the next ~24 hours!
In the mean time, I recommend our fellow Arrows to overview our findings, as some answers may vary with perspective.

[Frank Munoz]

My fellow Arrows, I return with the results of ositzxz369's findings from earlier today!
Here's what the higher ups(Cancel Ers.. Chance Havers?.. something like that..)from R^5 had to say

-R^5 Chancellors Review of fellow Arrow ositzxz369's expedition findings-

1: Reluctantly Accepting Temporary Overexhaustion v3
"hmm.. yes.. hmm.. NO!
ah, I see now.
this chart is much too simple of a fit. slightly too short.. yes.. and too noisy! too old!
You must have had very skillful hands to acquire this
*flings chart hi in the air(about 19 corn stalks hi to be exact).. must have taken a lot of Velocity to do that*".
Unfortunately, this will not fit. NEXT!

The chart did not fit

2: theyaremanycolors
"oo... aaahh.. OOPS!
sorry, it just went threw my hands!
Kinda ghostly if I were being honest..
Where did you get this Frum? remarkable.. Yes, this will fit PERFECTLY!
*the chart lays on the floor and we stare at it for about 2 minutes and 43 seconds before silently walking away*".

The chart fits perfectly

3. The Pylons Are TRAP BALLS
"AAAAA!
oh, actually this kinda.. almost.. fits.. GOT IT!
*there is silence as the chart is immediately ejected into the air, as if it wants to be hit*
yeaup, seems 2: be tw0 sh0rt.
other than that, everything else seems to be almost an exact fit..
maybe it's just not the right time?
*the chart makes it way back to the floor. The sun slowly blankets it in it's warmth with every passing second*

The chart almost fit, so.. it did not fit?

4. Token Whore
"It's.. uhm..
so short for a token of this rarity.
Either way, it's an EXACT match!
Whoever made this must've be poppin something out their ears..
get it? cause like, corn pops and also like the ear is also the thing you call corn and -
*they continued to tell about 99 other corn related jokes and explain each one, I stayed and listened for some reason*

The chart is an exact match

5. PLANETZ
"how BRILLIANT!
Such a sharp chart, just what we needed!
...I just stung myself actually..
I feel like my finger is gonna explode.. you ever been stung by a skorpion?
YEA imagine being stung 9x's! NINE!
what do you mean there's only eight?
I needfg.. medicle esassitancvrr..."
*I actually was not there for this one. I had a court date for time traveling and APPARENTLY that itself violates 1,001,997,375 concepts of the universe?*

The chart is just what we needed

As expected from such a high caliber Arrow,
ositzxz369's findings has helped us dwindle the amount of unsolved clues to a mere two(2)
We thank you for your one(1) and only(only) submission and look forward to having you join us in our next expedition.
Yes, we only allow one submission per expedition to allow our fellow Arrows an their chance to overcome, and grow.

ositzxz369
shall be awarded
15,000 ancient relics(credits)
for the successful retrieval of bounty 2, bounty 4, and bounty 5

There are still tokens lost out there.
May the good arrow guide your way.

Wonderful! I shall send your findings straight to our base on R^5.
Please allow ample time for our chart.. persons.. to send their report.
Thank you!

[Frank Munoz]

My fellow Arrows, I return with the results of Catlover3141592's findings.
Here's what our wonderful, implacable, impeccable, immaculate I'mbeingthreatenedtosaythishelp irresistible .."Chanc.. ellors"..... have to say!

-R^5 Chancellors Review of fellow Arrow Catlover3141592's expedition findings-

1: Shamshir -rough Pt.2-
"*gliding their index finger along the edge*
hahah.. ..just how mommy used to make..
It may be rough, but with enough Velocity it can cut through just about anything!
*at this point the Chancellor proceeded to try and "slice" through a very stale loaf of bread. They succeeded after about 112 seconds.*

The chart cuts through butter like bread.. or something

3: Dawn [KaW]
"Now this is what I'm talking about!
You know this is the real deal based off it's acoustics.
Almost puts you in.. a... ..t r a n c e
oh uh.. what? the chart? hm yes, good enough i guess.. uhm, nothing too difficult.
I could have gotten this myself really. Anyways.. would you look at the time you must leave! I need time t o .. uh ..
*I left the room to give them some.. time*

The chart is good enough, apparently

My fellow Arrows,
I am proud to announce the findings of
Catlover3141592's expedition has brought the amount of lost tokens to a STAGGERING
........................ zero!
Their efforts have proved to be as valiant as ever.
Let this be a motivating moment in history for our fellow Arrows, and allow us to persevere for future expeditions to come.


Catlover3141592
shall be awarded
10,000 ancient relics(credits)

I've already sent this info to our Charteologists and here's what they have to say!

-Ancient R^3 Charteologist labs of fellow Arrow, Snupeh's, anomaly findings-

honki sentai majirenjaa -MAJI eurobeat version-
"In all my 23.000 years of studying the ancient steps, I've never come across such a distinct style..
*The Charteologist then began.. uh.. tasting the anomaly?*
Actually, I have.. about 13 other times to be exact!
Well, needless to say this chart seriously matches the anomaly from earlier.
We'll be sure to order from you again.
*I turn my phone around, a screen asking for a tip arises*
Uh.. that'll be $14.42.
*they ignore it*."

The chart seriously matches

Our fellow Arrow, Snupeh's, expedition was a great success,
but there are still more secrets to be discovered within R^3.
Though they may be hard to find, we shall proceed one step at a time.

Excellent work, fellow Arrow.
I've just received the labs from our Charteologists.
I also got a little curious and thought I'd give this one a taste.. gotta say, this one kinda pops!
Anyways, here's the report!

"Hmm.. yes, this charts' readings are similar indeed. Both seem to be just as difficult to maintain. This one here is quite large though.. hmm.
*The Charteologist tastes the chart* and way too much pop!
I am sure this took some skill to retrieve, but this chart is no secret to us!
There's zero chance this will fit!
*They try it anyways.. it goes as well as you'd might think*
Well.. that blew a fuse, now didn't it?"

The chart is no secret

Looks like my skills are paying off!
I know a pop chart when I.. taste it?
Sorry fellow Arrow.
It appears this is not the anomaly we spotted earlier.
No matter! Let this fill you with pride!

The chart you brought left a remnant of the past.
*It glows missteriously.*

Looks like it was pretty challenging to have sLain this one!
Our Charteologist have just finished their study, here's what they learned.

"Ah, the secrets of R^3 are entrancing indeed..
This one seems to be just as difficult to read too!
Well, my assistant seems to think it a teentsy, tiny bit more challenging, but what do they know!
hm.. the age of it is also quite similar..
*The Charteologoist places the chart down.. slowlllyyy*
Dare I say, it almost fits perfectly!
.. ... appears to be some wiggle room here; a little too short I suppose.
*Taste test!*
They taste the same!
If anything.. I'd say the anomaly kicks in a bit faster.
Well, this may not be it.. but it sure has helped us zero into what it could be.
Hopefully by the end of this we can fuse our findings together, and finally capture this anomaly."

The chart almost fits perfectly

Sorry, fellow Arrow.
It seems we almost found the source of the anomaly.. and that makes me more psyched than ever!
Let us continue to tread together fellow Arrow(s)!
For the secrets of R^3 are many, and many are we.

"Holy mother of arrows..
I'm not too sure this will even fit through the window!
It's like.. more than double the size!
*They place it down*
Though, they seem to be about the same weight?
This one is slightly.. slightllllly heavier.
*The Charteologist grabs a fork and takes the tiniest bite I've ever seen a human take*
Before you ask, yes I am human and there's zero chance my blood has been fused with an alien species against my will.. I just take tiny bites.
Also, this taste.. specifically the core.. it's so foreign! At least to me it is.. ..I swear I'm from here
hmm, this chart seems younger as well; a few years at most.
*The chart melts*
yeaaa.. the last chart we had was much closer.
and it's taste was almost spot on too!
This one, incredible as it is, just too different.
Now if you'll excuse me..
*They take one wing out of their pocket and take, another, inhuman tiny bite*

The chart is just too different

Sorry, fellow Arrow..
Do not let this bring you down, and allow the Arrows around us to bring us up again.
