Please be sure to listen for 011ie's whispered comments off camera. They are the best.

Seriously...that is a supergreat idea...I'm a crust fan.

So. do we consider http://www.supergreatideas.com/ IG now, or just something separate Mr. Scribbles is doing?

Also, I'm starting to wonder if Paster Ludd is the one adding the text and "truck hands" to the vids.

Seems like 011iver has latched on to the scrabble tournament idea. Smile

I would assume supergreatideas to be in game given the rest of the content.

I know this is a little off topic but after lurking this game for so long I cannot help but find this hilarious.

Commented on Pastor Ludd's #3 video with this:
Quote:
Pastor Ludd, I can see that you work very hard and wonder when did you last have a vacation? Don't forget what it says in Genesis, "...He rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."


And just saw that he replied (seems a tad worked up to me):
Quote:
Shut it robot satan- your day is coming... I bet you'd all like to see me sit back and coast while you stick your long metal fingernails further into the skulls of the innocents. I know who runs these network substations and you can't touch me here. When I am done you won't have any devices to reconfigure! Take your disinformational campaignings elsewhere. The power of christ compels you.


Thankfully, I'd just swallowed my tea when I read it. Laughing

So our countdown from the paris.html page finally ended, bringing us to this page. Another username and password puzzle.
By "counting the spins" from Here and using the information from it we made it to a new page.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.robotfriendfinder.com/werenostrangersto/security/
User: Astley
Pass: 22

This page is simple enough, and leads to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.robotfriendfinder.com/werenostrangersto/security/letter.pdf


Random spec time!

Essentially what I glean from that letter is that the Robot Friend Finder is gonna be getting an update soon, in the ToS and information you can give out. RFF seems likely with that "single incident" probably being that spam thing, it having some of the "first 18" on it already, and that's the website the file is hosted on Razz
More or less, it's likely that information on robots is being gathered for some nefarious scheme, and RFF is the means to collect it. The changes to the ToS and link to FaceBook may be relating to something that happened a while back where it's terms changed to say that they would own anything uploaded to the site, like images, or information (Random info Here

Anyway, lack of sleep, intense hunger, and maybe the slow grip of insanity seeping into my mind stop me from posting anymore. Discuss away people Razz

Pastor Ned has a new video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRRUbEsrRfQ
[I love Pastor Ned]

There is a brief flash that leads to a new directory:
http://www.godhatesrobots.org/johnny/personal/

Viewing source gives a message from Johnny:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Glad you found my message. Gotta work harder at covering my tracks, going to have to encrypt everything from here on out, don't want them to find me again, don't know what they'd do to me this time. I hid the link in the background. Trying to keep her out of this, but Ram is there to lend a hand if you need it. Good luck decyphering it... http://vimeo.com/5039048 "

Makes it sound like he might be Lugnut, doesn't it?


So the video page requires a password... stuck on that for now.

EDIT: Update-

I noticed in the source that the background was listed as 'sockem.gif', so:
http://www.godhatesrobots.org/johnny/personal/sockem.gif

Rowan transliterated the ciphertext here: http://www.wonderweasels.org/mustloverobots/rockemsockem.txt

And decoded it here: http://www.wonderweasels.org/mustloverobots/rockemsockem-solve.txt

Barring some typos, these all seem to be quotes from Isaac Asimov. Various permutations of 'asimov' don't work as the password, though...

Hey, I actually solved a thing!

The password is "ygxcfi" (sans quotes), which is "asimov" encoded using the cipher from the quotes.

The video is Ludd playing with... *GASP!* toy robots!

And Lugnut's okay! Though he's calling himself Johnny now.

His message:

Quote:
Hi Everyone,

It's me, Lugnut. I managed to upload most of my memory to a server connected to the RFF mainframe... Turns out, it led to the God Hates Robots servers. That was the big secret I had, the secret that cost me my body, and nearly my life. Turns out RFF and GHR are connected. I'm not sure how exactly yet, but I'm glad to know that some of you are on my side. Ludd doesn't know that I downloaded myself into the bot that runs his server yet, with any luck he'll never figure it out. Guess my name is Johnny now. Gotta stay on the down-low for now, but I am going to start an account for old Johnny boy on RFF, pretending to be an AI looking for some love. If any of you want to contact me, send me a message there.

I want to make certain that you are all on my side this time, I have no idea how that idiot Coldoil found me out last time. As soon as I create it, send me a message on RFF with your mailing address, I'll send out further instructions in the mail to the first 5 people who's addresses I receive. Viva La Robot Revolution!

-Johnny (aka Lugnut)

Oh man. Was here to take part in the countdown solve, but totally missed out on the GHR one. Nice work folks!

So I sent my info to Johnny via a friend request. I'm pretty sure they don't want us to publicly post our addresses in his comments, and I don't know how else to send a message to someone I'm not friends with. Maybe I'm missing something...

Nice work, everyone!

Ludd proceeds to crack me up.

What about those typos in letter.pdf ?
"my personally belief"
"the "they" "

And this one could be interpreted as a typo, although the word exists:
"exacting"

In order this could spell:
"lying the"

But it's probably just a mistake, simulating human error. It's a theme, isn't it?

Quoting myself -- unmentioned previously is that fact that Pastor Ned is calling for 36 disciples to help him do something to prevent robot reconfigur'n.

who's gonna disciple themselves, to 'put their lives on the line'? And does this involve wearing purple & black clothes, new Nikes and waiting for Comet Hale-Bopp?
