 		Until Lugnut was found out, whenever someone registered in MBILF, what you got was a mail with some errors in it, where you could see the clues for an user and a password (carolcoldoil//mating). Now that Lugnut is... out, I guess you can't try to register to get that clue.

ETA: is archive.zip working for anyone else?

The file I downloaded contains the page in hex. I am not sure if this just happens as a placeholder for the *.zip or has to be designed.

By the way, I was wrong about the "page doesn't exist" theory. You can type in whatever you want after mbilf.biz/ and it will give you a proper page with the red background, because that image is stored in the local folder. It will give you a blank page anywhere else.
But I was definitely right about the first posted /paris site not having a login. I saved the admin login and don't get prompted any more.

Personal crusade behind GHR? Who would have known, hehe. Laughing

 		The archive.zip now seems to be working.

You get 5 pretty amusing pictures of Pastor Ned:

 		I tried taking first letters of every word (x.y means, x and y are both words), resulting in ACSEPPCT.
Anagramming that returns nothing of value. I tried Latin, but that doesn't return anything at all.
I also tried rot-ing...hilariously using a broken tool at first...check here). Instead of just using the one on UF, which doesn't show anything useful for the couple ROTs that contain at least two vowels.
Rot-15 returns sensible anagrams, but nothing MLR-related.

As far as I know we are not looking for any U/P at this moment, right? Not sure how this approach should lead to anything, but I've done it, you can save the time. Or double-check. Very Happy

Different approach:
Periods make me think that it could be two sentences that form if you write the names in some specific arrangement. I try that now.

No, I'm not.
1. I doubt this can be arranged in meaningful sentences.
2. Lining up something to spell a word could work, but what should that tell us? As long as we are not looking for U/P.
3. It doesn't make any sense to me IG that Ludd would encode something fancy here.

 		At about 3:30est, Tim sent a tweet about getting O11iver to call Ram Savage. Not long after, his call was posted on MBILF.biz.

Ram's reply was a bit odd..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it lead us to http://robotfriendfinder.com/wewillalwayshave/paris. We figured out the un/pw but deciphering the morse code flashes in the Error, "Every Rose" video.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...which is poison/1988


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
which gives us an ascii image of a hand crushing the eiffel tower and a countdown on the bottom.


I haven't had a direct hand in cracking a un/pw in a while so it's been an exciting afternoon to say the least. Very Happy

 		Nice! That Shakespeare joke has had me so focused on manipulating the video (backwards, slowed down, sped up, stretched out, etc. etc.) that I totally missed all of that.

So... 06/06/2009 at 10:00 PM.

And, saw this in the source- "To quote another famous robot... 'I'll be back'"

 		Quick little live protest video uploaded by God Hates Robots.


EDIT: Just received the following e-mail reply from Pastor Ludd. I wrote to him asking how he got started, and if he'd ever closely known a robot.

Quote:
Dear Mr. Larval

As you can see, my congregation is growing in strength and breadth each day. The word is spreading like a wild fire, which is God's desire and plan. I am glad that you are finding the videotape helpful and imformational. That is why I take the time so that not all people can come to Valparaiso for a Sunday sermon. I am planning on making more of these as they seem to be a great way of gettting the message out as quickly as possible. We have been very busy and I apologize for the patience you must bear in my replies. Jonny usually prints out and faxes my emails to me so i can have them in my hands. I enjoy being able to touch the words, but lately we have been on the road so I have safely tred to record some of them while I am betwwen the protests. Something must have happen with the emails because Jonny skipped a few, but then sent them again later. He works out of his own office in his home somewhere near a datamine ware house with many computers that he works with for the websites hosting. Truth be told, I have never met him he is someone that I contacted who we hit it off with and he had a great common thread with my vision. He always answers when I need him and to me that is the most important. He has helped me engineer my safe stormdoor appliance which protects my etherwork netlan from the electronic grid systems data backflow- and allows me to run the laptop from the 12V AC inverter from the bike generator He is really something and is definitely one of us. He says my headaches come from all the internet GigHz signals that come through my walls! And I told him build me a lead studio man!

About your personal questions, it is difficult, but I think God is telling me through you and others also that it may be time to share my personal story, although I don't think it should cast any shadows over the truth of his vision and his reveal to me. I in no way want my personal past to make smaller the important story which is that God spoke to me. But of course, I must heed the messages that come through other vessels. I will try to address your questions further if I am not being clear. Writing is not my best way with limiting me to the written word that i can express which is why I believe God wants me to record more of the videotapes. He has VLC to my computer and I just need to connect my camera and he does the rest with the recording and pushing them out the videospace websites. He says people can watch tehm all over the world from anywhere. It's still amazing to me without a TV that we can do all this ourself.

Many important things are about to be told. I will be in need of many of my congreagation and God is calling them to a higher level. I hope that you can join us in a new mission I will be spelling out. The time is not ready yet, but the events are unfolding as God has shown me and soon the 36 will be called to stand.

If you feel that God has called you, I will need a Southern California disciple to assist with the most important mission of our time. And having a van would be awesome too. YOu kn ow what sucks though is always being the guy that everyone calls when they are moving hehe.

Until then.

NL


The 36 will be called to stand? The most important mission of our time? COOL Shocked

 		Cool, so the number 36 is becoming more and more important with each thing that happens!

Also, he mentioned he records his sermons on videotapes. Think it's significant that the Error/Every Rose video had the "play" and "eject" screens hinting that it also was a "videotape"?

Edit:Oh, O11iver also sent a tweet last night about having a date with a Cyborg next weekend, which is when our countdown ends.

 		A new video's been posted by the Must Love Robots gang: Deep Blues

I think "a bunch of douchers" is my new favorite phrase.

Yeah, seriously...what is it with 36? All parties mention this. It's probably some sort of gimmick that doesn't have an IG logic.
Well, if I wanted to be silly I could say it's one third of 108. Very Happy

Maybe it is connected to the 36 characteristics on RFF, though. Did you notice anything around there? What this could mean? 36 types of robot personalities? 36 types of programming?

Jonny is most likely a robot. Jonny may have been Lugnut? LugnutMark2 may have been set up by Coldoil to infiltrate Ludd. But I think it's probably not the same robot.
He delayed emails for some reason. Maybe he did something to them? Or maybe that's just the excuse for slow responses.

Ludd talks about a new mission he will "spell out". Do you think that the photos we found contain that message, after all? I am suspicious of the dots in the file names.

 		Pastor Ned, whom I'm becoming unhealthily fond of, has posted another sermon/webalog:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z3xK2mrBEE


There's a weird "All Dead" flash at the end but I don't know if that's anything...

There is "All Dead TM" earlier in the video. Repeating this and flashing it, I would think there is something to it.

I'm always looking forward to Ned Ludd's videos. Laughing
