Wondering if the "ae" from the recent spideroak page was the internet abbreviation for Anything Else? I emailed Liam a couple of non-puzzle related questions and asked him if he'd like to hear anything else from us.

In a friendly 'tho non-clue-laden reply Liam Top wrote:
Hi there!

I am not sure if you received my first email, it looks like my email program didn't want to send it. Well, I do hope you are enjoying your Sunday as much as I do!

Thanks for your feedback, we would love to hear more feedback and what YOU would like to know about Lunar Labs and the people behind it. I am planning to give the newsletter a personal touch and build a strong connection with our community.

George is mostly on the road, meeting possible funding partners. Maria, Nick and me are most of the time in our little office in London. Maria is super engaged with her research and Nick, of course, is coding almost 24/7. He is a beast! I am just the PR and Marketing guy, trying to reach more and more people.

I will ask Maria and Nick if they are interested in an interview for the next newsletter and get your questions answered, if you want to know anything specific!

Kind regards,
Liam

Seems second time's the charm.

From Nick:

I sent an email back asking if there was an "end" to the game.

Wiki

I'm gonna be firing up a wiki for this.
http://lunarlabs.wikidot.com

If anybody wants to help out, feel free. If you're not familiar with wikidot, just send me a message on the wikidot PM system and I'll get back with you.

It's pretty much empty now, but hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have made a lot of headway so we can keep up with all the info/pics/games/characters/etc. so far.

Not sure if there's more to this code, but I noticed TIN appears capitalised twice. So I decided to extract the uppercase letters:

IZEETINIESIIZAAIEAQITINDSIQEII

Not a ROT, and not really enough letters to do a useful analysis, but I'll play around with some substitutions and see if anything jumps out. It's unlikely that TIN is "the", because that would mean a double H at the end, but it could be "for". Of course, it might not be straight substitution. It might not even be anything.

Ask him if he still has any of those old programs, or the source code to them.

EDIT: I added a characters page to the wiki.

I've thought about this, and I think that it might be worth loading up the text adventure and doing nothing, don't enter a single command until the time runs out. I don't have access to my home computer right now but if anyone wants to try it out for me before I get home that'd be great.
(I had this idea last night before the e-mail but didn't try it out)

My "nosubject" email that Ringmaster(Props!) read was sent from dsakdnbfSPLATfsdas.ccl. Can anyone clarify if that's junk or an indication of a CCL (database file)?

...on a saner note as I continue to go wacky trying to reverse engineer the above as a cipher THX bigtime, Natas, for the Wiki.

Pretty sure it's just a database file which holds all of our email addresses in for easier e-mail sending. Probably just a red herring.

THX a big bunch, ads123, for the info. When I've got access to core3 will try what you suggested on the text adventure. EDIT: Sorry, no change doing that with core3

Has anybody saved the images from the "library" or "mozart" pages. or have them in their cache, I delete my cache regularly, so I don't have them. Sad

It would be nice to have them for the wiki.

OK, I might get a frown from the PM's for this, and I don't know where, when, or how this fits in the story, because I "stumbled" upon it. but here's a stereogram. It solves to:

sent you a PM.

ETA:

I don't think this find makes a huge jump in the story, just for the fact of how and where I found it.

I'm not trying to be too cryptic on purpose. I just don't wanna piss off the PM's.
