Good luck, dreamerblue! I will hopefully be awake and cheering you on from sunny California!

(And yeah, I was not able to be in IRC and the GPS app at the same time on my iPhone, either - that's why I was popping in and out so much during the L.A. Mission Version: SKULLFINDERRRRRR.)

Edit: Ok, Anaerin posted while I had this text sitting around for a while and not posted...here it is anyway, general outline for messing with obfuscated scripts, but can't quite get it to work, again. I am missing something. I'll let you know, if I figure out what it was.

@Shad0

Hehe. Yeah, I had a look at that a couple days ago. The /PIGGLY is server-side, I think. That's where the queries go.

The jquery.js...well, Anaerin just said it, that will show you nothing about this game. It's just compressed.
If you want to deobfuscate it anyhow, get a tool that can live edit webpages, including Javascript. For Firefox, the Firebug plugin will do that (thanks to Anaerin for that suggestion). Make sure you right-click the plugin icon and activate all modules, in order to turn on console and script tabs in Firebug. Within Firebug options, configure a text editor of your choice to open the page content.

Open one of the maze pages and Firebug for this page. Then click the script tab and look for the jquery.js (best to use up arrow to wrap to bottom of the list, because it's way down there). Open this in the editor from within Firebug (view menu) or from the addon entry in FF.
Put "eval=alert," in front of the gibberish and save. Then reload the page. It will untangle the mess, albeit in bad format. Or maybe you can do all that with a command in the address bar, but I don't know how.

Backup for the earlier claim...Firebug shows this in the console:

With dreamerblue's successful mission we've acquired the Mute skull, which means...new navpath!

Does any one have ANY idea of what the who am i is, I thought there were tweets disrupted by something like that, but i dont know

[ancalime]

For the sake of completeness, here are all the breadcrumbs on the forest/cornfield pages.

[catherwood]

whew! what a rush!

Finally took the time to actually look at the "WHO AM I?" final page in the maze (no spoiler needed, i hope) and didn't see the image until the room got dark enough for my eyes to adjust. (it is *barely* visible in the navpath11.jpg attachment above)

The original is called http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SWDAT/VISDUMP-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.PNG and here is a version with the brightness and contrast increased.

"LIKE ANKAA" "NATIVE AMERICAN" "BROKEN, ALONE, NAMELES" [sic] "DREAMING, WITH BIG EYES"

I think what ancalime and eridanos was tweeting might be true, it's a longshot, but I think that we are looking to make a genuine Native American name, I can't seem to make anything out from what we have, but maybe someone has another

[danteIL]

Right, so eridanos seems to be pointing us back towards these:

1 wrote:
WHO-AM-I
//I AM BROKEN, ALONE, NAMELES

2 wrote:
WHO-AM-I
//I AM DREAMING, WITH BIG EYES

3 wrote:
WHO-AM-I
//I AM NATIVE AMERICAN

4 wrote:
WHO-AM-I
//I AM LIKE ANKAA, THE BRIGHT ONE IN THE BOAT


So we didn't really know what to do with those then, and still don't really know what to do with them....

EDIT:
Just adding this from the final 'breadcrumb' in the cornfields:

[ancalime]

Yeah, pretty sure "her gift" is the necklace -- the skull was found on a pic of a necklace in the research note, and Dreaming Eyes mentions a necklace from her sister in one of the story pieces.

[danteIL]

Any idea where in the original story the necklace was mentioned?

[Turducken]

Wasn't it in a research about SOTA

[ancalime]

[danteIL]

Thanks for digging out that quote. I thought that the necklace had been mentioned very early in the story, but I guess not...
