I've been playing with the black/white pattern and I'm getting nowhere. Using the ape photo as a clue, I've tried different grids and coloring in black/white according to the pattern, and I'm seeing nothing so far. Maybe I just can't see it, but it sure seems like that is what the hackers want us to solve.

So far, I think almost every new group or character has had some sort of drop. I'm gonna be out of town for about ten days after next week. I'll see if marduk can do it if there is one.
If not, toxology, are you available in case something happens?
Otherwise, I'll politely let the pm's know that I'm unavailable from the 12th to the 21st
Yeah I might be available, got some family business to take care of this week but if there's a drop I'll see what I can do

I also don't know what to make of this hacking thing, hopefully it is in game otherwise I feel bad for whoever was in charge of maintaining CJP. I'll check out the clues you guys found so far. Yay 4 staring at little dots!

Wouldn't surprise me that the hacking is related to Net Kept Secret, the latest protest faction. They are intent on discrediting Cole Fusion, and since the CJP is essentially CF's house organ...

RR, dissing my employer, the CJP, an earnest member of the Fourth Estate ? You're likely right & am wondering what MF intends for her "big event/PR stunt."
EDIT (bigtime): A CJP update reveals the alleged "criminals" behind the hack, Section 10 ....*squeeing* that they say "You can find us in a private IRC channel".

Would someone be able to post a picture of the king? The article is gone now

Don't see a cached version & didn't save the CJP pic, toxology. Want to mention that I deviated a lil on the Net Kept Secret poster subject but they found that OK.

tehee, nevermind I managed to grab a cached version by copying the image location from a previous copy of the site.
The pic is at this link so we can keep working on it!

TWO RESISTANCE GROUPS AT ONE TIME? What a tweest!
Ok, we should investigate both. What sort of correspondence have we had with Net Kept Secret? And does anyone know where we can find this IRC channel's information?

When the pic was at the CJP did shop it & chk for steg. Also tried Morse & Baconian cipher for the dots. No joy anywhere 'tho it was Intn'l Beer Day. The dots are:

Skol! Overlooked a simple binary msg: 011001100110111101110101011100100011001101110100011101110110111100110001

Blind, still can't see the email. Props Tox! Is this a 'code' subject field for it? Had noticed that Tr1f0rce's avatar has a hidden "1"(no 1 to notice) & Domo's those 4 dots

HEY! That code you decoded it's:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A password to "hack" into the email account!!!!!!!
Looks like it's the same kind of thing as the email account we got into last time. The only things in the inbox are from players tho :S anyone willing to check for more sturf?
But on to the next mystery, those things in the avatar pics.
