tinywonder Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hey Nerds, It occurred to me as I looked over the latest weird email we received from Steve (sort of, really Staci, but the video was Steve... oh whatever, you got it), that I want a place to go to discuss these, that is open to the NF community at large. I am starting this thread to do just that. More to come soon, I just wanted a place to link to. We'll see if it works. Facebook has its claws in us deep. But what better way to communicate in a rebellion, than a cryptic underground message board that is far from the peeping eyes of Mark Zuckerberg? 3 Quote Current Challenge: Tiny Wonder and the No Good, Horrible, Overwhelming Bureaucracy! tiny wonder in the big, big world.

Sure! Put it up! And maybe share this thread on the men's group. I can share it in the women's group, and I've shared it with Camp NF. I haven't actually had much time to look into the cryptic emails, but I want to, and it'd be nice to have a go-to place to catch up on it.

tinywonder Posted December 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Lovely! Good job! And even better job hiding the spoilery text! It's been a hot minute since I've used forums, so I am rust as all get out. I clicked them all, my faction is totally Rheno, glad to see it lines up with my ideals as well. I can't wait to learn more, but I'll be out of the country when it all goes down. We shall see.... Out of curiosity, how did you solve it? Was there a key somewhere? Or did you just crack it by process of elimination etc? 1 Quote Current Challenge: Tiny Wonder and the No Good, Horrible, Overwhelming Bureaucracy! tiny wonder in the big, big world.

Swifthawk Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I got it by figuring out SKL first, and figuring which words might crop up after having solved the anagram in the scavenger hunt for the last badge at camp Quote January challenge December challenge November challenge Link to comment
killerog Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Ah, I see somebody solved it already. Good! I think we need to do something with the logos on that url, that's also in the comment of the video on youtube. Spoiler If you click on them, you go to a seperate site with a bigger logo and the slogan. I feel we should do something with the logo or the slogan, but no clue yet how. My minimal photoshop skills don't help with trying to edit the logos together Quote Link to comment
PaulC Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Was wondering about the underlined words in the faction descriptions, could it be another clue? Quote Sometimes you feel like a blobSometimes you don't Link to comment
killerog Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I got a mail from Noel kind of saying this is the only clue for now. Spoiler Thanks for the help! I'll relay your message to Staci. Glad you found all the pieces to the puzzle so far! Stay tuned. There's more to come! Cheers, Noel Quote Link to comment
Arcangeist Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Guys, I love the idea of factions. Like Divergent? The story was okay but I LOVED the factions. Erudite-Ravenclaw-Thunderbird-Mystic-Rheno right here. Anyway, The underlined words are FOUR, HEART, SPEAR, MIND, and PURPOSE. What can we gather from that? 1 Quote Link to comment
Akura Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Random thoughts... The short descriptions remind me of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. There were 4 houses at this year's Camp Nerd Fitness, right? Were they called the same? It will probably be a structure perpendicular to the guilds. They are focussed around fitness goal. These new "factions" may focus around personality type. I'm excited!!!! 1 Quote The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. Instagram food log Link to comment
trickstur Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 They are the same houses as camp, and each house had a different aspect that was capitalized in our letters we got with our tickets. MIND and PURPOSE were two of them. I think they've changed the wording for HEART and SPEAR. Yes. Much excite. 2 Quote "Don't tell me the sky is the limit, when there are footprints on the moon."

Darth Yoga Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm a sucker for puzzles. I didn't pay much attention to the first email, but when I saw the code in the second one, with all those "SKL" giving you a great starting point, I had to do it. 6 hours ago, Myrik said: RL RFTT JLLV SKL KLTD GB SKL PLHLTTFGJ. RL YUOS UJFSL SKL BGUP. QTFQX SKL TGCGO BGP YGPL. If you want to do the code on your own, but want a hint: Spoiler There is one long word there. It has a pair of double letters. It isn't an especially common word, but it IS one you'd expect to see in any secret email from Steve. The word was even especially prominently mentioned at the end of his previous email. 2 Quote Joshua - Yoga Ninja Weasel #22 Weasel does 500 Pullups Link to comment

Teancum Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 On the countdown page there is text hidden in the top left corner that says "ENTER THE CODE" but I can't figure out where to enter it or what the code is that it is referring to...

Any ideas? My initial assumption would be that it was placeholder text left unintentionally by whoever was putting the page together. But I assumed the same about the page title "Project Fragment". I could be wrong on either of those. The only other thing on the page is a copy of the code text from the email. 1 Quote Joshua - Yoga Ninja Weasel #22 Weasel does 500 Pullups Link to comment
Myrik Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 There is no place to enter a code either. Unless something is hidden within the source code of the page, but i searched through it and nothing stood out.

But I assumed the same about the page title "Project Fragment". It is very unlikely to be unintentional, since the text "Enter the code" only recently appeared. And the page title was not "Project Fragment" just a few days ago either. I have no idea where to put in a code though, or what Project Fragment means. My main question is: who are they pretending put up the page? The people following Steve, or the resistance to that force? Because for me, it is giving mixed messages right now. Before I would have assumed the resistance, but "Project Fragment" sounds more like the name of the bad guys' plan. 1 Quote Introduction (where I started, May 2016) ~*~ NF Character (dormant) Progress as a Nomad: Battle log where I do my own challenges Useful posts on my battle log: Useful Links and Travel Schedule, Future Challenge Ideas, Goals for 2017 as a whole, Assorted Goals (not on rotation), Elements W1D1, Last Quarter Goals Link to comment

I've been half tempted to call the NYC Public Library and see if they have any insights... but haven't, because I'm not going to bother them lol.
