So Neflyte said today on the IG forum to hold onto the punchcard for future reference if it doesn't make sense right now. This right before I finished posting a long ass topic about the punchcard
Also, I noticed that Richard is accpeting/requesting a lot of non-agent friends on his facebook. They all seem to hail from Calgary or thereabouts. There is on person on his friends whose profile pic stands out from the rest. The name is Opt Omitol and he is using the winter.jpg image. Does anyone know if he is just another agent or should we look further into it? I have sent a friend request and a message just in case.

That's just me, sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to get that smith winston person to add me.

Yay! Mission 5.
Completing Mission 4 again leads to http://experiencethenode.com/shrike/
It also generates Mission Complete email

Speculation: I am thinking this was not supposed to go out like in Mission 2 and since we have solved half of the mission already without it even officially starting, they are holding off to figure out rectify the situation and make the mission longer.
Or can the mission and go straight into Mission 5. New forum on the IG board.

I am noticing a pattern here...although it may not be intentional. I have had to repeat EVERY mission past #1 to get the next e-mail... Could this be poor setup/planning or part of the game? Are the majority of you getting the e-mails after completing the missions only once?
Edit: Removed my ? icon so as not confuse anyone else...

I have to go back and complete the previous missions, as well. I think it is a limitation of the node forum. The emails are not composed it seems until it is time for the next mission. Completing a past mission triggers the email. Completing it multiple time generates multiple emails.

Emailed Richard at facebook in an attempt to suss out if the substitution cipher I've been working was of any value. His reply:

Amandel,
Don't go on spiral searches with information that is not relevant. Concentrate on new information that I gave you. Playfair and share this with everyone.

Checked his profile again and see no newer updates than Monday's.
EDIT: Mr. Toasty,as always,mega quick and clear thinking. Was just pondering that and posting info at the IG forum where I posted the other one.

I'd guess he's pointing to using a Playfair cipher:

My guess that since his political views are "Cavemen suited me" the alphabet key is Stonehenge.
EDIT: I also ran it through the cryptogram solver on rumkin.com and got these possible solutions...
