As well as updates to the Theorist Gateway website, there were also changes to the tenretni olleh Youtube channel.

The banner changed to a black background with the green text “hello theorists, have you come to play?” Using the same color filtering technique as before, analysis of the image reveals the word patience hidden in the bottom-left corner.

A minute long video was uploaded to the channel as well. When the Game Theory logo pops up on the screen for the normal logo color flash (0:05), they repeat a lot more than usual (later discovered to be essential to Beta Gate 2).&#x20;

The opening features glitched hexadecimal text on the bottom of the screen at (0:06 and 0:08). The first hex text is `6a 75 6c 79 20 31 35 20 31 39 38 33` which decodes to `july 15 1983`. The second hex text is `74 68 65 20 66 69 72 73 74 20 31 37` which decodes to `the first 17`. This info was soon to be featured in a website later in the pre-ARG phase (see "notthefirst" subsection).

The distorted Game Theory intro also features a binary code (at 0:13) on the bricks as Mario runs across the screen. Using a key (in a frame at 0:14) saying that red is one and black is zero, it decodes to <https://www.thetheoristgateway.com/notthefirst18fc17.html> (further discussed in the "notthefirst" subsection).

16 seconds into the video, it's seen that the normal Koopa Troopa has been replaced by Link (later to be seen as important in Gate 1).&#x20;

The final ciphertext message has been decoded as a simple substitution cipher. The text reads`FIND THE SEARCH - READ THE NOTES - FEAR RABBITS THAT VENTURE INTO HOLES - THE GATES SHALL SUMMON YOU - PATIENCE - AND KNOW THIS - YOUAREPREPARED`

A spectrogram of the video revealed a key for the cipher with a full alphabet and numeric system. The spectrogram shows the alphabet, then the numbers 0-9, and mathematical equations which can be used to deduce the meanings of operators.

The spectrogram also shows text "the one replaced", which is a clue relating to Gate 1.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gtarg.gitbook.io/master-tracker/pre-arg/you-are-prepared.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
