G0RF posted:One thing I'm still trying to make sense of is EightAce's latest confirmation of Derek's current information. It would seem they are in complete agreement on things - and yet at last count they held opposing views on CIG cash reserves, with Derek calling the cupboard bare and EightAce saying they had more than enough cash to weather the year. It's not.

Once again, if this E.L.E is not something completely left-field then none of this poo poo from the past two weeks will have been worth it.

LowellDND posted:Should check out SCP sometime Star Citizen is a Keter-class AI in the making. Wrecked Angle posted:Serious post. Did anyone really crack it before the 3rd clue and if so, how? Sperg talk: Assuming you figured out the Library reference and wanted to brute force while somehow managing to be as unlucky as possible: Fourth clue points you straight to it. Third clue gives you 410 pages to sift through(this is why we saw a sudden spike in 'got its!' after that clue, the threshold was much lower) Second clue gets you to 13120 pages to sift through. People getting it here almost certainly did some sort of scripting. First clue gets you to 65600 pages to sift through. Beer's post alone would be 262400 pages. I'd say pre third clue it was either being *very* bored at work, or writing a script to scan the anglicized pages for a certain amount of consecutive highlighted text.

D_Smart posted:It's not. Obviously you know something we don't, but CIG seems to be acting as if everything is normal and business as usual. I mean they're still hiring people and making mouse pads sized for literal whales. Chris Roberts doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who keeps real cool under fire, he can't even hold back from spontaneously adding features when asked questions by his fans. He would be panicking and making all kinds of changes imo if money was running out.

As someone pointed out, at that point you can just download the search space and have the most basic editor go through it.

@ anybody acting too cool for this thread or derek's troll, you post in a dead comedy forum from the 90s about a dying videogame that is fleecing money from nerds, please explain this to a normal person and they will try to have you committed involuntarily or give you swirlies until you die

All that needs to happen is the leavers actually leaving and everything in the thread will be fine again, we've been waiting for some high profile leavers now for more than a month now.

Scruffpuff posted:There was really no need to brute force it - for example, Derek's clues led me to the right site. Beer's hex plus the first two clues leaves you with 13120 pages to sift through. gently caress that noise, so I downloaded the 32 text files and let Windows search indexing do the heavy lifting. The hard part was zeroing in on keywords. In desperation I typed "gently caress". Enlightenment followed. That's a cool approach. It also makes me think that doing the reverse would be viable to keep a secret. Give out the wall, shelf, volume, and page but keep the hex itself. Ragequit posted:Was the coded message Beer's idea? Seems like his style. Can Derek even claim pupper master status for something that wasn't even his own creation? It was. Originally it was going to be an April Fool's Joke, but I decided that it would be too obvious if all the clues came in on the same day. Derek took the hints to 11. The biblical reference in particular was perfect. D_Smart posted:All the deserving credit goes to Beer. I just worked his fantastic idea into my narrative. That, coupled with my on-going E.L.E. narrative made the perfect storm for the best.troll.ever

imo start another thread that everyone can bookmark and then only update that thread with good, new, significant info and keep it locked otherwise. wading through all this garbage is getting tedious, especially since it feels like we're so close but also we may not be close to anything at all....
