Interesting quote:

Code:
You: WHO IS JOSHUA?
JoshuaBot: I do not recognize the name.Try putting that in a more specific context.
You: WHO WAS JOSHUA?
JoshuaBot: Is that one of your friends? Do you like to "go with the flow"?

Fourth question

Solved the fourth question; The second part is indeed vigenere cipher, using the red side of the cube from earlier, as indicated by the first part (in ROT-5).

The deciphered question (with the key QMFCFGNZS) is 'What is the magic word?'.

I suspect 'Abracadabra', so I'll send a reply to Joshua with that and the other answers.

Sweet! Note that the magic word might also be 'Please.'

JoshuaBot's replies to the questions (to save everybody some effort)

Quote:
You: Q TO Q LVL 3?
JoshuaBot: It is the only way to know if it is really you.
You: WHO IS THE ONE?
JoshuaBot: It depends on the historical context, because it changes from time to time.
You: WHO DECIDES TO BE THE SHOE?
JoshuaBot: Would you rather be the ant?
You: WHAT IS THE MAGIC WORD?
JoshuaBot: It takes you from one place to another.


Edit: Another snippet that I thought was interesting.

Quote:
You: CAN I HELP JOSHUA?
JoshuaBot: The White Rabbit needs more help than I do.
You: WHO IS THE WHITE RABBIT?
JoshuaBot: It depends on the historical context, because it changes from time to time.
You: HOW DO I HELP THE WHITE RABBIT?
JoshuaBot: Find someone who has done it before.

Evil inc.

Man! I just love evil corporations! And if they are trying to dominate the world through enslaved kids, who are secretly the most intelligent creatures on earth... Damn! Cool
Maybe there's gonna be black suited corporate agents appearing, and big black pickups..Very Happy
Well at least by you, since I'm over the ocean...

seems the bots have different personalities? i asked the first one if it was a female and it said of course since it had long hair. and it told me its favourite dress was the green one. later it went bonkers and errored out on me so i reconnected and now it has no favourite dress and isnt a girl.

Might be a bit of the Alice side showing itself.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one getting errored. At first, I thought it was an in-game thing and spent a while digging through it.

A few interesting quotes
Quote:

You: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR CREATOR?
JoshuaBot: I don't think I have a BOTMASTER. I have a brain, a few friends, and some celebrities I like.

....

You: WHAT CELEBRITIES DOO YOU LIKE?
JoshuaBot: HAL 9000, Deep Thought, Mother.

....

You: WHO ARE LOOKING GLASS LABS' CLIENTS?
JoshuaBot: Joe.
You: JOE WHO?
JoshuaBot: JOE? Your name is user.

There has to be something we're supposed to learn from JoshBot. I just have no clue what that is.

You need to go to the Forgot Password link, enter your email and the passcode. You'll get the email then. I don't think we'll get a password for the first screen until Joshua replies to the answers to the 4 questions.

ETA
Joshua finally 'answered' my last question after the better part of a day. Mind you I'm not really a Python follower, but I couldn't think of anything better at the time.

Getting a bit snippy?
