25th of May - Spreading wings
Last Monday (18th of may), @Sir_oops revealed a behind the curtain insight on the site structure which triggered a security breach. Later @Ekimo1920, made a bot posting changes from the main site (it’s a good bot, sometimes really loud, but hey, give it a gentle pat).
@The_Architect’s profile picture identified by @Sullykiwi : it is the Atlas Tower
. Some of PuppetMaster (PM) other social accounts (reddit’s one banned) were discovered :
Overall post times are synchronized between social medias, in few cases, there are discrepancies, but all pointing towards a strong connection with NMS and Waking Titan ARG themes.@YourBasicMaths found a cadence in the posting, giving us a time window for next post.@ThatBomberBoi found in social posts something regarding heartbeats being excel timestamps.
Others pages were found :
The Quote puzzle
At first, the poem focused our attention on social medias, BlueSky, Blue_bird, as a way to communicate with to make known our answers and, of course, DirectMessaging (DM) here. Poem itself didn’t match Wallace Stevens words. It became unstable and words changed, some became all caps even letters shifted many times.
A community effort, along with @RustyHarper, @adsk46nkster, and @Rinha on NMScord , lead to discover the place of the driftwood sculpture in France
, “Le Forgeron”, where a local “operator” went and… didn’t find “the Blacksmith”.
Community stalling, an hint has been given, and another page went up.
WIP
We also tried a lot of connection attempts to main page, but with the help of @Oskar1up fanbase, it resulted in an acknowledgement of our combined efforts.
and that’s all for this week recap, y’all!
