Incoming Hijacked Transmission... What does it mean? [Merged Threads]

So I have fought platpool and got 25,000 gold in the forbidden crystal thinking that was it. Then, outta nowhere a message came in saying that the fight was only at 1% of his power and he was barely trying. I’m exited and want some of your take on what you think is going to happen.

Hi guys, so I was doing a little hunt through accounts and may have found something.

I was struck by the idea of how Platinumpool seemed to had stopped sending messages after 7, with the amount of xp received from him also being 777. I decided to search for accounts with 7, from one to five (basically I typed 7, rising up to 77777), since there are supposedly 5 pieces of this puzzle. Unfortunately, this was a dead end.

I got kind of annoyed, and tried every auspicious number I could think of. 8, symbolic of wealth and money, was a bust. 6, the number of the devil, also nothing. 3 (not technically auspicious, but 3 is an important number in some stories) also resulted in nothing.

In a random attempt, I tried 5, again relating to the 5 pieces of the puzzle. So I tried the method explained above. Once I got to 55555, I found something.

Clearly a Kabam account, as it has no letters. However, it differs in a massive way towards the regular Kabam accounts, in that the titles are locked. Literally no titles at all. I would try to put in pictures of a separate Kabam account for comparison, but I think I've written too much, so it's not letting me. I'll send them afterwards.

But, I want to focus on the titles for one reason. Every summoner is given a title when they start playing, aptly named "summoner". Even the Kabam accounts have this, and even new accounts receive this title. However, this account does not have ANY titles whatsoever.

This leads me to believe that is is not a summoner, but rather Platinumpool himself. Being a champion, he is unable to get the "summoner" title, since he is not a summoner.
Bit of a stretch, but the evidence is solid. Blank username pointing towards a Kabam made username, the incorporation of the number 5, known to be important to the puzzle, and finally, the locked title, telling us that this is not a normal account, nor is this account a "summoner".

This concludes Part 1 of my TED talk, part 2 will be photos of comparison between a known Kabam account and this account, looking particularly at the titles.
Jokes aside, what are your guys thoughts on this? Maybe this could be important??

Part 2 of my TED Talk now begins:

Normal Kabam Account:

Titles available to this Kabam Account:

The account of "55555":

Titles available to this account:

As stated previously, it's locked, with no titles at all.

Thus concludes the second and final part of my TED talk, thanks for reading the wall of text I have written for both of the messages. Again, if you guys have any thoughts about this, we should discuss it, as I feel like this might be something interesting, even if it might not be related to Platinumpool.

Sorry about posting again, but I just now noticed the 0 prestige on the "55555" account. Possible something important? I'm not very sure.

For those of you getting crazy about text-based riddles: this is an international game! I play in Italian and the messages do not share the same letters but they do share the same meaning.
Example : the idiom "costs an arm and a leg" does not exist in Italian, we use "costs an eyeball of your head" and this is what we get on the Italian message.

It could be the translators don't know, but I vote for all this just being a fun prank by Kabam anticipating something that will come, either next month or at the end of this event.

And I will not hold my breath for any 5s free champ.

@RU11011 (55555 account)...
Are you sure that isn’t just some VERY OLD dead account, that existed before they even created Titles in the game.
If you see some old alliances, you will notice that after (~500 ?) days, that an account name gets removed, so that newer players can use names that may have been used in the past by someone long since not playing anymore.

I'll bet that you could still search by this old name (55555 in this case) even though it has been “removed” from the account (but not yet claimed by some new person).

Might be why Prestige shows as 0 too, maybe accounts would have had to login at some point after they added Prestige display to accounts. (Will have to look at a dead alliance and see what member's Prestige's show up as to verify if that is the case).

@rischio , (language translations)...
I would assume any “meaning” behind the clues, as used in English wording and/or slang usage, etc. would probably indeed just use regular “technical” translation to other languages. Which may very well lose their intended meaning if put into a different context.

In portuguese for example, it uses another expression to represent something being too expensive. Here it is Portuguese/English of the same message

Lucasjones_98

Well hes coming at some point, we wont have to pay for him.. I dont think so anyway considering he ain't gonna cost us an arm and a leg + theres videos of him on YouTube from a data miner and I doubt he couldve photoshopped what was happening

ChickenLegs

So far I’ve been ambushed from platinum pool 8 times, but for some reason I didn’t get a message from platinum pool from the 8th ambush

I forgot to screenshot his other messages but I do have the 8 crystals in my inventory

Welp, you were right. the account of "1234567890" also has a blank name with locked titles. Sorry for the wall of text everybody. prestige is still a bit of a mystery though, as this account has 141 prestige.

Something i noticed in the highlighted text.
There is only one that starts with a capital letter, and there is one that ends with a colored dot.

So from the 7 lines we know which one is first and which one is last in his story he wants to tell us.

The middle 5 are a guess.

I came up with this which maybe still is missing some later to be added parts.

The puzzle is in your hands
an arm and a leg
split myself into five
break me into pieces
put the pieces together
don't leave me
1% of my true power.

It is sounding like a cry for help from platinumpool, as he messed himself up.
But no idea were this goes.

Just floating an idea here. We know Hit monkey is coming next month and he is pretty closely tied to Deadpool in the comics. Considering it looks like it’s going to be a bit of a silly month, it might be related to that.

I don’t know about the messages, I know I’ve ran about 6 rifts and only faced him once. I don’t think this is the sort of thing we can currently work out. At least not until all the messages have been confirmed.

I do think there is some weight to the theory of certain champions being important. This months side event has largely been a scavenger hunt daily for champions, so it would follow in a similar vein.

- 1% message seems to hint at him being a boss
- An arm and a leg is the confusing one here. It’s only this that’s highlighted not the cost part, but I assume this is to indicate it will not be a paid thing to get him
- Splitting into pieces and break into 5 seems to indicate a full team. Could also be related to stars
- Don’t leave me might just be indicating that it’s a time limited event
- The puzzle messages suggest to me that we will have to collect items to some end. Could also be some sort of meta commentary on this thread

My grand theory: there will be an event next month where we need to collect 5 1* Platinumpools. Once we have we combine them into a 5* Platinumpool.
1%= 1*
Arm and Leg= FTP event
Pieces=Split into 5 platinumpools to collect
Don’t leave me=Time limited, might never come around again
Puzzle= We need to collect the 1* Platinum pools and it might involve solving problems similar to the ones this month to collect them

It’s late here when I’m writing this so tiredness could be making be go off my rocker, but this is my best guess

Supereeme

Is it possible that he’s hinting we should save for the chronometer? Maybe the last day he’s an option on the rift? Or maybe there’s a bunch of versions of him on the final day rift? Like 2 star to a 5 star?
That would make a lot of people really mad since they didn't make it clear in the beginning.

wat of we saved all the rift detectors n use them on the last day

SpideyFunko

The puzzle is in your hands, don’t leave me, split myself in five, break me into pieces, and arm and a leg, put the pieces together, 1% of my true power.

That’s what I think the order is.

KattohS

I am treating it just like everything else with this game.

It will be RNG based so I’m not getting my hopes up or busting my brains. Thanks for the 175k gold so far tho 😬

pournstarr

Here's the correct order...

1% of my true power
break me into pieces
split myself into five
an arm and a leg
puzzle is in your hands
put the pieces together

Know how I know? The guy doing the first letter of each clue was on to something...

1 BS APP.

I think he’ll be MCOC’s first build-a-figure

How many energy refills will that be?

I'm guessing it's a number puzzle using his pi # maybe gold won # and clues if you have the correct amount of Intel remaining matching the answer you get him in your mailbox.

I have been wondering if the puzzle involves finding Platinumpool elsewhere in the contest.

Could he ambush in older content? I tried running Act 1.1.6, which has a DP boss and has been reworked from its original opponents. I also kicked around a little in the classic Moon Knight Deadpool quest. No luck so far but I am only 3 Platinumpool messages in. Do you have to wait to get all 7 messages and then you can find him?

I’ve also wondered if his complaints about unfair fights mean we need to find and duel him in a 1v1. Maybe there are a series of 5 duels (as he’s broken into 5)? Could his hashtags (e.g. #blessed, #nofilter) be clues for duel opponents? Is it five duels we should win or five duels we should lose?

It also seems like 7 is a clue. You get 777 gold by beating him. There are 7 messages.

Urkel2

I have gotten 25k gold every time so I dont think its linked to rewards.. It could possibly be linked to the path you took.. Maybe if we took all tye paths we will get something good

I have been wondering if the puzzle involves finding Platinumpool elsewhere in the contest.

I was thinking this too, especially after reading the last message where he says Me:
Genetically enhanced super soldier mercenary with a healing factor, a platinum coating and a rad deck of cards.

Combining that with the “break me into pieces” and “split myself into five” and the put me back together and the puzzle in your hands parts, all made me think I needed 5 pieces of the right team members to do 1.1.6 with. Since a teams max size is five, I thought maybe I need the right team for 1.1.6.

I wanted to try 1.1.6 with gwenpool, Deadpool, xforce Deadpool, venompool, and massacre, but I don’t have classic Deadpool.

So I ran 1.1.6 with cap (genetically enhanced super soldier), gwenpool (mercenary tag), Wolvie (healing factor), silver surfer (platinum coating maybe?), and gambit (rad deck of cards). I swapped classic spidey in for Surfer in another run to get the “genetically enhanced part”. But nothing noticeable happened.

Also the paths in 1.1.6, especially the left path, have all of those Platpool parts except the rad deck of cards (x-23 (healing factor), venom pool (merc), civil warrior (genetically enhanced super soldier), superior iron man (coated in platinum), with Deadpool as the boss. But nothing happened. Gambit is on the right path. I did 100% of the map again hoping that would count but again, nada.

I haven’t gotten my 7th email though so I’ll try again with other combos once I have.
