Most impressive solve?

The November 8 posts on paintover (texel's feedback-XOR cypher) impressed me. I believe it was AnthraX101 who figured it out.

This makes me wonder, would it be weird/unnecessary to vote for an ARG MVP?

Tapestry and MLO password are close finish, but I have to go for tapestry for it was done before the discovery of the betamaze... that was truly a tour de force!

Thanks for the congrats on the tapestry, everyone!

It was really a 3-pronged effort: I ended up figuring out the patterns in the tapestry, and converted it into a crypto puzzle. Then yeahyeah went ahead and solved the bulk of the crypto. Xnbomb batted cleanup by providing some extremely useful analysis into the creation of the puzzle, theory on decoding, etc. Oh, and danman_d pointed out the fact that the puzzle was a modified "betamaze" font.

I personally was very impressed with the Texel XOR solve, the MLO password, and the extreme dedication that some people gave to the Aquapolis incidentlogs (Yanka comes to mind). We had some truely excellent people working here...

My vote goes to tapestry solve, mainly as I was watching as Chancesend first glimpsed the solution on the forum, and then as it slowly came out.

Absolutely brilliant!

Didn't get to see many solves as only access is at work during 9-5 GMT but that made all the browsing very worthwhile!

Thanks!
