I'm going to sound really dumb here, but since I wasn't in chat at the time... from where/what/who did we get this?
EDIT: N/M, found the thread in SO.

So for anyone who can't be in chat or logon to SentryOupost, here's a very simplified recap of what's been found...
October found the login page! Very Nice!
On the left side labeled "job" enter the following string: 005ac73a3333c493c73a3333c493005a3333c493005ac73ac493005ac73a3333
On the right side, labeled "key", you must enter 128 characters of your choosing, as the key, but remember them you might need them later.
We're still working on that page. There is speculation that the Tarot is the key to figuring this out.

Job 2 Weird, but my password isn't working on SO, I've tried to reset it, but still haven't gotten an email from the website anyways...
We got a new message from the Sculptor saying something like "U both need to use your own codes". In chat yesterday I said I'd replied with a bid for the Job 2, Cath followed by submitting a bid also. I think we were the only two to submit bids, so I guess that message is for us. I've replied with a new bid in code. I'll let you know if I get reply.

the clipping is a key to my auction for the icheng
rearrange the text into a grid of twenty two chars
emet suggests which columns you want
Hebrew suggests the orfer to read each row
the result looks like nonsense but encludes spaces
encludes runs like cynuB and sious
must arrange peck up of goods in my tarot code
cynuB & sious is supposed to be Cygnus X-1 & Sirius - the swan & the dog
FYI: I'm using http://sharkysoft.com/misc/vigenere/ to decipher.
I take the code, add capital W's where there are spaces, and then decode using bzb as the key.
Then I read the plaintext ignoring the capital letters.

Nooooo!
I know that it's been confusing, with codes and posts and replies flying back and forth. We probably haven't been as good at maintaining as clear a trail as we should. I tried posting on SO a useful summary of recent activities , which I will repeat here:
A recent outline of MLM events:
1) We received a mysterious message from DC , letting us know about the job number and the two keys from the NYC drop. These turned out to be 1) the book "Sharp Teeth" and 2) the article about the Barierascus with the Hebrew.
2) We found multilevelmayhem.com . Using the job number and any 128 digit key, we accessed the safeget system and saw the job with the Tarot code . This is Job 1.
3) With much figuring and help, we deciphered the Tarot code and began replying.
4) One of the replies that we got back randomly included a new job number and the Chinese code. This is Job 2.
5) In the meantime, we used Sharp Teeth to find the "real" key to Job 1 , and accessed the "real" replies , which seem to consist of a conversation between the original job poster (using the Tarot code, whom we think is the Sculptor) and someone else using an "allusion" code that we haven't figured out yet (whom we think is the Photographer). The replies seem to be about the drops for the satellite photos.
6) DC sents us a new VM telling us that we should be checking Craigslist (which I guess we were supposed to know from DCs vague message?). On CL we find a post referencing Sharp Teeth and a new job number. This is Job 3. .
7) Replying to Job 3, we receive a reply in ROT+/-1 code that basically says that we have to use our own codes, except when told to otherwise. I personally don't understand this yet.
8} The Job 2 code is solved to reveal that someone is auctioning 9MB of data from an I-Ching cast .
9) Another reply in ROT+/-1 code gives us detailed instructions (!) how to use the Barierascu article to derive the key for Job 2 (to see the replies, I guess). We are currently stuck on this.
For current reference:

Please don't quit just because you're really lost right now. I know there's quite a division between those in chat and those who aren't, and we really are trying to bridge that gap. The problem is that most of us who have been following along in chat have gotten too close to the problem and thus we just aren't aware of leaving out critical information out that everyone else needs. However, as we've been getting comments and questions, we've been trying to update our posts and such to reflect the new information. So if someone has specific questions or just don't understand something, please ask, either on the boards or in PM or somewhere. None of us are trying to hide the information or are trying to be difficult. It's just that the signal is getting lost in the hustle and bustle of the moment.

Geez, my copy and paste skills really suck. Not only am I locked out of SO, now I'm locked out of the "safeget" system too. When it rains it pours.

I don't know about SO, and I don't necessarily know how to fix the lockout on safeget - but I can give advice about problems that have come up on the safeget system.
There are two boxes on the safeget page: Job and Key
The Job box takes a specific 64 character key. If you have the wrong Job number, you will get a message stating Error: Unauthorized access attempted (X/9 failed attempts) So if you see this message come up, double check the job number to make sure that it is correct.
The Key box takes a 128 character key. This key can be anything as long as it is 128 characters. If the key is not 128 characters, the fields will clear (however, this will not override a bad job number). So if your fields have cleared - you have the right job number, but you do not have the correct number of key digits. If you login and see no replies, you are using a 'new' key. You can use this key to communicate with the Job Originator by 'replying' to the job. You can then later login with this same key to see if the Job Originator has replied. If you use the 'original' key, you can see all the replies that people have made using the 'new' keys and you have the ability to a: respond to them or b: close out the job.
Hopefully this will help people from a: getting locked out and b: knowing if they are doing it correctly.

And even if you have the correct job number, I've found that the boxes really don't like it when you page the key first and the job second. Naturally check for any trailing blanks or copy-pasting the carriage return, but *always* paste the job number into its box first.
I haven't looked for the cookie yet, but my guess would be that is where they store failed attempts.
As for the current state of affairs... I wouldn't want to say anything negative about where we are stuck, but... this will make for some interesting discussion in the post-game chat.

I don't mean quit altogether; I've just given up on trying to understand what the h*ll is going on right now. Dante's summary helps. Thanks. I also appreciate the fact that you've realized how much those of us who can't be in the chats are missing. I still read the posts, I just don't get them.

<Good info about job stuff with the moral being don't get the job wrong or you will pay>
The safeget system checks your IP, so if you fail 9 times, you are locked out for good from the failing location. You can still use a proxy or connect from work or something to get in.
