Here's a first attempt at getting a better look at the dots in the profile picture. I'll see if I can do a bit better.

ETA - much better version attached.

ETA2 - also notice in the profile pic that there appear to be dashes at the bottom of the image, which look to be:

Very nice! Tricky SS in TOSSED looked like NN when matching patterns.

So did that picture change recently or was it always like that? I didn't see anything significant until toasty put the edited picture up.

Currently working on getting the classified data. The unencoded bits don't seem to do anything, all the pieces of text are there, just extremely scrambled.

Nyst: Intimation changed it's profile image to lead us to the new story pieces collection page. And...oh boy..yeah.. much of the decoded string on the classified stuff is filler.

Shad0: The green numbers, counting down on /STREWN-ABOUT/ have always been that way. So what if your memory sucks (join the club)... you're keen eye for color variations on /TOSSED-ROUND-ABOUT/ makes up for it. I couldn't see the difference at first and thought others may be having the same problem. So, attached is the message.gif from that page with some enhancement.
I'm wondering if these green letters are a path in the maze, but I haven't been able to find anything to that end.
I suspect that we'll be seeing Sys' version of the pignose (as seen on the attachment) pop up somewheres.

Sys' tweets seemed different this week, with her interest in spymaster *headscratch* and attempts to have fun.
When Sys was tickled, I was confused and thought it was S (the child like part of the AI's personality) at first. Here's the direct message exchange with intimation:

That's what the binary says. We got it 20 pages or so ago.

My Bad, too many pages to go through

Exploring mazes is hard... *cough*

[Nyst]

Hard? I'm doing it by hand.
Don't ask me why though. I need a purpose I guess.
I think I'm almost done.

Do the pathlocks work like the IWHBYD skull form Halo 3? (in that you need to do the specific order to find the hidden content) because just random exploration doesnt seem to yield any pathlocked content.

[anaerin]

Essentially, when you find a pathlock, be on the lookout (Make a note of the sequence given to you).

When you come across an option that starts the sequence, take it, and keep taking the options given to you that match the pathlock. When you get to the end of the path, your prize is revealed.

So, for instance, on FJ there is the pathlock "UCMWGWQQFJWS"

This means (In this instance, as it's right there on FJ), you would click on UC, followed by MW, followed by GW and so on until you clicked on WS. At that point (With the path FJUCMWGWQQFJWS) you would get to the particular pathlocked data.

Then you need to take the data (In this case, the data between the square brackets), and unencode it. As the data is in a standard Base64 encoding, you can use one of the many online decoders to do that for you. If it complains about the data being the wrong length, add a "=" (or two) to the end to make the length of the data a multiple of 4.
