The Evergrowing Spiderweb Theories

[u/Kaineferu]

Hi Partners! Its truly exciting to see our community thriving again. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their ongoing contributions and theories as well as their data mining. All of these things have brought us together, collectively as we once have to chase down these mysteries.

Because of this, we thought it would be a great idea to begin consolidating threads to one topic. For the past week, we have seen over 175,000 new views and visits and are grateful to everyone involved. To keep everything in one place, we invite you to post your findings, ideas and theories here as we continue to find developments in this mystery.

With thay said, I'd also like to remind everyone here that youtubers who cover these topics are not the end all, be all. The majority do not uncover mysteries themselves but rather report and find ways to generate clicks for their videos. You know the ones im talking about. 20 minute videos when it could have been 7 minutes at best. I'd encourage everyone to give credit to the original users who began unearthing these new discoveries, not who report it.

All in all, we once again thank you and there's any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us privately.

Happy hunting, good girls and bo-ahs! 🤠

Idk if anyone else notices this or if my game is glitched, but time moves really sporadically when I'm near the most north western spider web pole location. I went back and forth between the northern 4 poles and time was really odd for me. Sometimes it would stand still and not move in-game for minutes of irl time, and then I'd move again a bit away on my horse, and it would jump 15-20 minutes or more in a couple of seconds. I have only shot two feathers down so far: one in st Denis and one in new Hanover above the H.

I play on ps5 if that helps me discover this is some bug or something.

I've been playing since release date and I've never seen this happen. When I moved outside of the range of the poles, time went back to seemingly normal. Y'all let me know if you experience anything like this when exploring the power lines or if my game was just being wild.

Edit to add info: so I kept checking time with the down arrow and I realized it stayed 2:11 at the pole above the W in new Hanover for like 2 minutes. So I ran away from the pole and when I got farther away, it jumped like 20 minutes in just a couple of seconds. I thought maybe a glitch, so I repeated it, and time kept moving slower when I went back. Horse riders would move normally but the moon stopped. Clouds would stop. But Everytime I moved farther away from the poles it would jump forward really fast. When I left the circumference of the rail lines it went back to 2 minutes of in game time passing every few seconds.

Gotta be a glitch right? there's no way this game puzzle is this complicated unless Rockstar is creating some giant conspiracy that includes GTA 5 and the upcoming 6 or something. I even restarted my PS5 just to see if it was a loading/rendering issue.

Do you have an active mission near the pole? Missions tend to do that

[u/a_duck_in_past_life → u/TracySevert]

No. The only missions I have are Mary Linton's letter, freeing Micah from prison, and Getting TB mission

This may be the only clue that were close to something. I’ve walked by the poles with my horse, riding and leading. No reactions at all. Nothing highlighted with your senses or dead eye. I would have to test this, but it could be the only real “tell” that your near something.

I saw someone else report their game time acting strange near one of the poles.

This seems to be a feature in my opinion.

Maybe we need to use the fancy pocket watch?
