Major Update Speculation Thread V4: "What are you doing Friday night?" edition

Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Sherlock Holmes Fanclub Edition

We should get an IRC channel like with the golden potato ARG to make things go smoother.

Not sure if the fish and diary fitting perfectly is a clue that they're the impossible, or that the others, because they don't fit, are the impossible.

I think we should try equipping every item possible and checking back to see if the desc changes. MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.

The name's Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes. Address: 221B, Baker St. See you there. *click*

About the fish being not made of gold - there's a Fishcake item, which is crafted from some sort of a fish fossil and Moustachium Bars which resemble gold (at least are of similar color)

[QUOTE=Randyy;36415641]I think we should try equipping every item possible and checking back to see if the desc changes. MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.[/QUOTE] Stick with sets for now, all the smaller newer sets seem more likely.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;36415498]Woha. The capitalized words in the Diary description are "RESPECT THE PRIVACY" and "MYSTERIOUS TIMES" That obviously points out to the Sherlock set. What are some other capitalized words in descriptions? Banana- WE HAVE NO IDEA Fish- MADE OF GOLD, EVEN FISH, TO GET YOU OFF THE SCENT! Could this mean anything?[/QUOTE] FISHCAKE.

I am new to this guessing game, and to the whole ARG situation but. I noticed that some navs were updated for Dustbowl, 2Fort and GravelPit. Could something be there, as in, the bots walk to a specific place to show something to a player or something ?

What about this: Meet the Pyro is going to be framed as a murder mystery. Medic will be investigating. The victim will have been burned to death and chopped up with a fire axe. Medic will be absolutely stumped, instead focusing on miniscule clues such as pocket lint.

Have some more stats.tf stats on the items: 3,511 Pocket Lint 2,505 Goldfishes 1,881 Bananas 1,158 Barn Door Planks 349 Cheese Wheels 23 Damaged Capacitors (still) 2 Secret Diaries

Play some private bot games and see if you find any patterns.

If the updates keep on every day, friday will be the 300th update.

[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;36415654]hidha hudda :v:[/QUOTE] WAIT FUCK SHERLOCK WAS SAYING HIS FAMOUS LINE AT HOME (goldfish, banana, cheese, lint) AND PYRO INTERUPPTS HE BREAKS IN (door hatch) BURNS HIM (diary) AND KILLS HIM (capacitor has blood on it) THE CLUES HINT THE MOMENT BEFORE HIS DEATH IT'S IN THE LAST BOOK BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIVE MUCH LONGER AFTER THAT

[QUOTE=zach34;36415686]And it turns out the murderer is actually the Pyro's long lost twin brother, Abraham Lincoln![/QUOTE] And he is a vampire hunter. Meet the Vampire Hunter.

We all thought if you equipped the Potato hat and let bots run in maps they would show you shit that turned out to be a massive bust, dinnit?

Is it me, or does the Goldfish description look like it was written by the Soldier?
