X0L.NU is a site that's part of the game, apparently. You can log in and decrypt "filecodes". Might be useful later in the game, I don't have anything to decrypt now...

Tried the Exclusion game. The codes you get are morse codes - the second one (I think?) spells out "X0L.NU" (that's a zero, not the letter "O")
Oops, seems it's the same morse code all the time - but for each level you get a tiny piece of a picture. I don't think I'll be finishing the game just to see it, though.
Nice find.

Dude! Slow down! You can edit your original post to include these new comments, making three posts in a row isn't considered polite.
As for me, I can't get the game to work, even after downloading it from that terrible site.

I'll have to second that. I'm fairly new here catalyst but still....posting over and over again is kind of unappreciated. Thanks for the help and all but seriously, if you post "edits" or "ETA's" (Edits to Add) in posts you already have, the good people here at uF won't miss them....trust me. Everyone's very thorough here, "shouting" is not necessary when subtleties speak volumes....

Screw it I'm not going to do it in 7 minutes. Hopefully the job application isn't a necessary part of the game.
yeah, i applied a few hours ago and didn't get any response, so i think it might be too late
btw
ringo is also not a "member"....werd o_O

So the title of that site is Babbage 1.6.1 doing a search of babbage on conspiracy for good turns up some pretty odd threads.

Sorry about that. I'll edit my older posts from now on. I'm used to forums where people don't read threads except when they're updated, and I thought other players wouldn't want to miss new findings - but I see things work differently here

Oh wow! You've found Babbage! A number of the characters (?) at CFG forums talk about uploading stuff to Babbage.
BRB I'll see if I can hunt down the post.

I finally got the game working (I think my first download was a dud, so I had to redownload). It's a pretty fun game, I'll see if I can't uncover that whole image - it looks like it's revealing another version of the CFG triangle-y spiral-y logo.

I'm on room 31 (why room's not levels?) you will not beat me lex! Actually knowing you, you probably will :/ Barring pc problems on your end lol.
Regarding Babbage, it looks like you can only decrypt 5 files per day? :/

So it's way past the 9pm GMT thursday deadline, I hope we all got in.
Did anyone get a response yet?
I'm bored of the game, on level 34 or 35. You're getting extra puzzle pieces lex?

Blackwell Briggs just tweeted that the positions have been filled - I hope someone here got one!
As for the extra pieces: yeah, just make sure not to eliminate any of the CFG logos. Any that are around at the very end add to the number of pieces revealed at the end of the level. You'll always get 1 piece, and you can get up to 4 for saving all 3 logos.

Wow that's rather helpful. If you go back to replay levels it tells you how many bonus pieces (logos) you got on that level.

No response for me. That tweet's interesting though, I wonder if their "new recruits" are posted somewhere else or something....
*ETA: I think it's also crucial we finish the magpie solutions. I'm pretty sure it keeps going and there's some sort of clues in the youtube video for the next passcode but I'm having a hell of a time trying to find it. Could use a fresh set of eyes if anyone has time to spare....
