 		So I asked for information on Tom and The Sculptor days ago and finally received a response. I don't know actually if it's a response or just a random message, but this is what I got

I have absolutely no idea what it means.

 		With how things are phrased in that it looks like text that was run through Translation Party or something similar. It is the same message twice with variances between the two, possibly run through different languages before back to English.

Also the last line is lacking a closing quote bracket. Either an oversight or this text is part of a larger passage.

Uh oh... it looks like we were wrong about MIA players being able to choose Advance. Sorry, Kyle!

On the plus side, there's a new Forecast out. I'll edit here when I get the spreadsheet updated.

Edit: Oh god, it's morse code..... Might take me a bit this time.

Edit: Updated the spreadsheet. The message had a weird format, so hopefully there aren't any errors.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
For example: FLAF/MODWARNDISCIPLES.
FLA = Flacon
F/ = F#
MOD = Moderate
WARN DISCIPLE S = "Warning, Disciple ascending Southerly"
I'm not sure why, but THOU seems to have another mistake this Forecast. THOU supposedly moved North to China's Butterfly at 9E, but ended up moving West to 9G.

Most interesting result: I landed on a Slight square and didn't die. This square was previously on the map as a Moderate square, so I think my clay setting changes the squares I land on. I was also protected from the storm, but that might be because I was the one who called in the Slight Storm that should have killed me.

 		The message to me almost looks like one of those messages where if you cross out every 5th word it then makes sense and says something different. Maybe some of the previous codes are used for this?

 		Dropbox question - Is there anything up with that -.mp3 file at the top or is it just a hiccup of your automated system? I tried to listen to it but it just crashed my player.

 		I think the " - .mp3" files are advertisements that radionomy inserts, but it's weird that it would crash your music player. I'm pretty sure we can ignore the ads, though.

I think that since THOU is the current iteration of QPLR and that he is either someone inside the organization or controlled by Admin himself which might be why he seemingly ignores movement rules at times.

Also next forecast I'll be moving onto Butterfly Signora so we'll see if that does anything

 		I've tried tossing it at some basic code types, but nothing conclusive has appeared so far. ROT, using the previous Fjo message as a key, generic cryptogram solver (http://quipqiup.com/).

 		Is there some kind of page with a timeline or something? First I heard of Ascensionism was through that Kanye Quest game.

Good question. This thread is probably the best (and most confusing) collection of Ascensionism progress.

The admin jamesi offered to create a subforum for us a month or two back. I messaged him a couple weeks ago to ask a few questions about it, but he hasn't gotten back to me. Maybe we can ask someone else.

I think my big fear is that we'd spend a lot of time organizing everything only to burn ourselves out. I enjoy the group of players we have here, so I wouldn't want to lose anyone just for the sake of organization. Thoughts?

 		I think the one topic works (2 if you count http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40750) along with our running spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BwJxVNfAnNOer0NmFB7zVkZUngXMW-ODNY9WGD5HwhQ/). We've been keeping fair track of loose ends through there.

If needed I can try to parse out all the info from the first 20 or so pages of the first group's work, but not all their efforts and reveals were documented/preserved. There is also some question of how all the stories fit together, if they fit together.

 		Yeah, I think your spreadsheet has kept things organized enough for the long-term players to keep track of what's still unsolved. I imagine that it's hard for new players to catch up at this point or to see where to contribute, though.

For the time being, I think I'll add a signature to my posts to help people get to the spreadsheet.
