Now when you use number six / revolution on

it gives you this page:

Greetings Number Six. Your login is currently being prepped - please continue to use Corporal Herbie's login for the time being.


Awesome! I'm totally jealous; that combination definitely did not work last night. Super exciting to see all this progress!

EDIT: I thought I tried that combination but I did not! So close but no cigar.

 		So... any ideas on how to contact central command to place orders or get deployment instructions? Our commanding officer is William but I have no idea who that is.

 		Just to let you guys know, I asked Jim by e-mail if Bedlam was related and he said he didn't know what it was, so maybe. Which means it probably isn't. I decided to ask because the whole time-travel genre-shifting thing got my attention, and there is some kind of mutated soldiers with red eyes which reminded me of these pictures we found lately.

Also, he tweeted about Undertale and The Beginner's Guide, so I guess I'd rule those out too.

I've been meaning to check TBG out... did anyone here try it?

I tried looking for that milk.css on twinbread.com and other sites, as well as poking at milk.html, or /css/milk.css... no luck yet.

 		Train Hot Dog 17
I feel that the 'seventeen' clue probably points back to Train Hot Dog 17 (Kitten Gains/Decay Truth.)

Listening to the file backwards is no more enlightening than listening to it forwards...

At first I thought that too, but RPP Extrasode #3 was in June and THD #17 was just last month... so I don't know really.

What do you mean, I learned buff was a color. Wink

To be fair this was the first thing I thought of as well but I still couldn't find anything in that recording.


I saw the milk.css a long time ago, I couldn't really understand what to do with it and guess I forgot to mention it.

I tried googling milk.css and the actual line of code in the access level alpha page, and I did see the milk.css code in other pages and some code on github
I think it may have to do with password validation or something like that, but I'm not 100%.
My guess is that the milk.css is not a clue, if one is in the source code.

edit: after a bit of research, it seems milk.css would be the theme for the page style. So maybe this is something after all, if not a coincidence.

It's a short (1.5hr) and interesting story, with very few "twists" and depth. I enjoyed it but wasn't overawed. Don't be expecting "The Stanley Parable 2" and it stands on its own quite well.

 		So, I was looking around the beta page after the login was discovered, and I was trying to figure out what was going on with http://time-travel.club/operationsnarfblat.html.

The listed Assigned Operations for Herbie are:

Quote:
ASSIGNED OPERATIONS
Operation Glitterbuster
TT Operation 2014 - CRAWFORD
TT Operation 1965 - M. BRADLEY.
Operation B.R.E.A.D.


Not sure about Glitterbuster or B.R.E.A.D., but I think it's a safe assumption that TT Operation 2014 - CRAWFORD is related to the time travel shenanigans we've been seeing from Mr. Jim Crawford in the arg.

TT Operation 1965 - M. Bradley --Milton Bradley? Incidentally, the board game Operation was published in 1965. This might be a clue, but it could also just be funny.

Other games published by Milton Bradley in 1965:
    Barrel of Monkeys (1965)
    Battle Cry: A Civil War Game (American Heritage) 1961-1965
    Broadside (American Heritage) 1961-1965
    Camp Granada (1965)
    Dogfight (American Heritage)1961-1965
    Frustration! (aka Trouble) (1965)
    Go For Broke (1965)
    Hit the Beach (American Heritage) 1961-1965
    I Dream Of Jeannie (1965)
    James Bond 007: Thunderball (1965)
    King Leonardo and His Subjects Game (1965)
    Lost in Space (1965)
    Mystery Date (1965)
    Operation (1965)
    Stay Alive (1965)
    Trouble (1965)


Sidenote: Snarfblat is what the bird in the little mermaid calls smoking pipes.

EDIT!:

OK, this was NOT published on the wikipedia page for Milton Bradley products, but in 1965, a board game called Frantic Frogs was also released.

Train Hot Dog - Episode 23: Accessory Bolt Holes for Camel
The new train hot dog episode 23 is out. I listened through it once. The first things I noticed were that at a little bit after the 8:45 mark, Jim complains about a website saying it is mobile-friendly when it is actually almost unreadable on mobile. He mentions css, which is what I noticed. Approximately what he says: "Oh man, nice! OK, here's a page- thanks CSS! (sarcastic tone)- here's a page that is mobile, quote on quote mobile-friendly. Can't zoom in or out, can't scroll left or right, and you see about half the text. Like the left half of the text is on the page. So, good job guys! ...I'll try reading it anyway"

I figured that maybe signing in to the number six account, the page with the milk.css thing, would do something different on mobile, that is if your browser tells the website that it is a mobile browser, like the identifier or whatever. No luck with that.

Also, at about 10:50, he says something about the number six. It's hard to understand what he says before it, but here's a really rough quote of what I heard: "*something something*discuss O- wait, that's a six, discuss six. Maybe I could leave a comment saying I can't read this on mobile. If I click this discuss six link, if that's in fact a discussion link. Uhhermmm... Oh, here's a forum thread that reproduces the text, except I can read it... Well, I already read it, so fuck it."

Dunno what that may or may not mean, but hopefully the people on here who know how to dig through the files, or the audacity wizards, will find a clue in there. Razz

EDIT: Also, nice find, shy lil derp! Given that Milton Bradley was founded in 1965 AND they came out with an apparently not very well know frog-related board game in that same year, I think you're right on the money with that! Very Happy

 		So, how do you actually leave rider mail, do you call the number and leave an audio message? Do you send an SMS? Youtube comment? Maybe someone should leave a ridermail saying "Corporal Herbie here, requesting deployment instructions" or something. We haven't interacted much with him through that channel, maybe it could be a good idea.
