Eridanos01:I think it might even be possible to insert these pignoses as URLs into the Stonewall. The S's are inside. Maybe Essy sees navpath requests.

I think this might be response to us not getting nyc, I hope, but it still makes no sense at al to me, what, we put the flickr pics in the url????

It sounds to me that Eridanos wants us to paste the URLs of the pignoses that we upload into the Navpath box... May as well give it a shot, eh?

Yea i tried entering a bunch of stuff into the NavPaths -- the flickr URLs, messages for Essy, gibberish Smile, but aside from the Stonewall freezing up on me a couple of times, nothing has happened.

What is the point of this?!?!

Eridanos is totally using The Secret.

[update] Text on navpath cornfield/forest 4

There's a new line of text on the navpath page now, so i guess something is getting through.

Quote:
S5:RPT//ALERT/LOCATION UNSTABLE//ACTIVITY DETECTED//UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE//POSSIBLE INCREASING TENTACLE ACTIVITY


The previous text ended in with S1 at 85%. (see wiki screen shot here.)

If you go to the third NAVPATH page and click on the Mute skull, pignoses appear scattered in black across the page.

dante just discovered that if you keep clicking, one of three phrases appears:

HELP

SAVE ME

and

NOAH

So, is Noah the Skull's child's name? We know that the ID for the skull is 22 characters in length - it would be sort of alarming if we're meant to brute force from here, since I don't think we've found a discernable pattern in the numbers used and the order of the name letters in the ID code ...

Well I can't make any more messages appear and now the report from S5 at the top reads:
Quote:
>>S5:RPT//LOCATION STABLE//ACTIVITY CEASED//MAINTAINING POSITION


so maybe that's all we're gonna get?

[SPEC] I'm going to wager that we have no P skulls left, and maybe not even any more M skulls -- so all 5 that are left are going to start with I.

Honestly I would have thought we'd end up with 6 P, 8 M, 10 I, but we're already at 6 P, 10 M, 3 I so maybe we'll end up with 6 or 8 I.

Noah is Dressler's first name. I suggest we hit up pages associated with him...which I guess would be his logs.

Nothing in Dressler's logs or mp3s.

And now eridanos is being his usual unhelpful self:

Quote:
It looks like there may have been some tentacle activity again. We have no guide though with all the subroutines occupied in the Stonewall.



Does he have some kind of tentacle detector that we don't know about?

Tentacle Detector is so the name of my next band.

Persistent nudges confuse me. I get the feeling we're not being allowed to think enough about this, or something (acknowledging that perhaps part of Eridanos' meta-purpose is to provide notification to people playing in other places than Unfiction).

It's tricky, being all nudgy and stuff, because then we don't have to work so hard. We can just wait. Which isn't fun, exactly, but it *is* easier. Wink

Anaerin needs to sprinkle spider dust, I think. Maybe that'll help.

Re: [PUZZLE][PARTIAL SOLVE] NAVPATH/Cornfields
source code

Out of sheer desperation... Is anyone here a JavaScript expert who also happens to excel at reading obfuscated code? The source contains the following snippet of code:

Code:
var ek="tcp'02uckv'1Fdcnqg'0Aqda]
rcvj'1F'05'05'1@'02'06'0:fmawoglv'0;,pgcf{
'0:'02dwlavkml'0:'0;'5@'02'06,chcz'0:'5@og
vjmf'1C'05egv'05'0Awpn
'1C'05-PGS-NMA-RKEEN['05'0A
`gdmpgQglf'1Cdwlavkml'0:m
'0;'5@'02m,qgvPgswgqvJgcfgp'0:'05Qwpdcag
/Pgs/Cwvj'05'0A'05Q[Q,AMPG'05'0;'1@uckv'1
Fvpwg'1@'02'5F'0Aamorngvg'1Cd
wlavkml'0:p'0Aq'0;'5@'02uckv'1Fdcnqg'1@
'02'5F'0AfcvcV{rg'1C'05qapkrv'0
5'5F'0;'1@'02'5F'0;'1@";
tk='';
function dc(s)
   {
      eval('s=String.fromCharCode('+(s^2)+')');
      return s;
   };
for(i=0;i<ek.length;i++)
   {
      tk+=dc(ek.charCodeAt(i));
   };
tk=unescape(tk);
eval(tk);

Basically each character in that ridiculously long string has been encoded, and the mystical JavaScript function "^2" decodes each one. (It seems either to add two or to subtract two, but I don't know how it decides which is which.) We end up with:

Code:
var wait=false,
sfc_path='';
$(document).ready(
   function()
      {
         $.ajax({
            method:'get',
            url:'/REQ/LOC/PIGGLY',
            beforeSend:function(o)
               {
                  o.setRequestHeader('Surface-Req-Auth','SYS.CORE');
                  wait=true;
               },
            complete:function(r,s)
               {
                  wait=false;
               },
            dataType:'script'
         });
      }
   );

So, who's the expert who can decipher that?

Looks like the GPSMission missions have been updated again -- now ALL missions have pignoses and a last updated date of August 14th.

dreamerblue might be on for the Toronto one, and I've just DM'd celina63 on Twitter. I can do Hollywood if for some reason we can't get it soon.

I am indeed on for Toronto. I have the software and Colloquy installed on my iPhone; my little test this evening showed I get signed out of Colloquy when I go to another application, so I won't be able to stay in chat, but I'll pop in when I've got the skull. My friend and I are going to run the whole GPS mission just for fun. She has also installed the software on her phone. She is turning off broadcasting her position, but you'll probably see her listed as "Currently Playing" along with me...she'll be sportyjen27, and I am registered as dreamerblue so it will be easy to pick me out Wink.

ETA: I am meeting my friend at noon Toronto time (EDT). Adjust for your time zone accordingly Smile.
