Funny how the PM's never deleted WordPress' "hello world" post.

Have been looking at the codes we stilll have outstanding and no closer to a password. I thought one might be the vignere keyword for the other but no dice. Unfortunately I can't see the ascii art as on a mobile. Could someone screenie it when zoomed out and post for my benefit?

And as a side note, I thought the "hello world" post was an oopsie, but Liam has responded to my gibberish comment. I have no idea what to reply.

I checked there is no link leading to that, so again this probably is not of importance
But is someone could look at the command line stuff would be cool.
As a game design student I can see that LunarLabs has a really cool game idea. (Might even say that we are unintentionally beta testers of some sort)
This probably has no meaning as well, but Liam Top is Pot Mail

So I got a reply from Nick. Sounds like he's pretty miserable atm. Here's what I sent:
Quote:
Hi Nick,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you like this, but I've been reading your website and twitter feed. I love the sound of what you guys are doing at lunar labs, but it sounds like you might need some help. Besides spreading the word about your work, is there anything I can do to help? What language are you programming the systems in?
Hope to hear back from you soon,
Karl.

hi karl!
don't worry, thank you for contacting me and showing interest in Lunar Labs. i am programming the engine in C++, i am on it 24/7 since i am the only programmer in the team.
so nice of you offering help, but besides spreading the word there is not much you can do. i probably shouldn't say this right now, but we are having difficult times right now. some issues where we want to go with this. i am sorry to tell you that i am just really depressed atm.
jambkayo? is this your nickname?
-nick
I replied suggesting that I might be able to help out with more than just programming, but I didn't want to push it.

...and here's his reply (my emphasis):
Quote:
i feel like Lunar Labs is ripping us apart. George is behaving weird lately, as if he has become a different person. before we launched Lunar Labs we were one team, one unit with one goal. now, George is making more and more decisions without consulting me or Maria. Maria is trying to stay out of this conflict as much as possible, she hates conflicts. then there is Liam, we didn't like him at all, but George brought him on board. i don't understand the world right now..
exactly, what a PR guy. originally we agreed on another PR guy, who suited our team perfectly. i just don't get it and George doesn't want to speak about it.
i am sorry that you need to hear all this, i just feel like no one wants to listen to me right now. thanks.
JAMBKAYO sounds like the result of blending different things, don't you think so?
i starting programming when i was ten and tried to hack the national social security database

Seems obvious that there is some sort of conflict as the only person from lunar labs that liam is following on twitter is george. Bit weird for someone in the PR business.

One more thing before I head to bed - Have you noticed how similar the notes CGAFEGF are to the url CABBAGE? Also the word CABBAGE can be written out on a musical stave.
Not sure how much this helps, but I'll let you guys ponder while I sleep.

Oh and note the spelling mistake in the CABBAGE source. "xou" instead of "you". That can't be a typo.

Been keeping my eye on this thread, since I do love my puzzle trails. Anyways I just cracked the puzzle. I'll leave a few hints just in case you want to solve in on your own.
Hint 1:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Nick gives the clue of "Blended" and "more than one element"
Hint 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What does the art show?
Hint 3:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The cabbage page holds the other clue. The big "?" mark.
Solution

I'm gonna admit I only found this one by complete luck, before then I knew what I needed it was just sorting out from all those letters.
This opens to another folder that contains core2.exe
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A shooter game. You need to beat George's score. I have no hints or clues to help you here. Just good luck!
I think there's something else to do, but I haven't figured it out yet.
Edit:
About the Mozart puzzle. You guys almost had it. You were just using the wrong note scale. Using the other type of scale which I think goes by "FACE" will give you the notes to anagram to CABBAGE. I guess the PM's got a little impatient for you guys.
Edit 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
After beating George's score your given a score screen that says "Think Different".
You just need to type Steve Jobs who said the quote. And your given an incident report by a new company called Primus
Seems we got a few more things going on now.

Great job on the solve Cherry Tree!
I beat the high score but only got "Think Different" a bunch of times and couldn't enter my nickname for credits. So once again I'm stuck.

They actually fought about it over Twitter a day or two ago, turns out George made the decision without consulting the others.

About that I just solved it myself. haha.
Hint 1:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Google is your best friend
Solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Steve Jobs (Don't know if you need to type it that way.
I don't see anything else beyond this though. I just exited out accidentaly myself so someone else will need to take a screenshot.
There is a site for Primus but the whois shows it to be way to old to be related.
