The Return of Dr Sloth (split 4)

[Siniri]

I personally like this series:

Staff, I went down to the maintenance tunnels yesterday and they are FILTHY! Gorix, you've been going down there constantly -- what are you doing if not cleaning? You ARE a janitor, if I'm not mistaken? If anything ever goes majorly wrong on this station we're going to have a heck of a lot of dirt to wade through just to fix it! Maintenance Captain Rolls

No kidding! If Captain Rolls spent a tenth as much time fixing things as he spends complaining about them, nothing on this station would ever break down again. - G

I've gotta say, I stayed up as late as I could last night and got all the 1- and 2-mods done based on my little notepad full of combinations, and then this morning I got one 3-mod done without using anything more than the charmander page, but damn was I thrilled when I found that link to the code breaker. It took me over an hour to do the first 3-mod by myself, and I was still near the beginning of the list of potential mods. That would have been excrutiating. So I feel good that I did at least one by myself, and that's that. Yay for awesome people who can write programs like that.

This is insanely difficult. I'm still stuck on the 2 mod ones. I've managed one, via trial and error, but it took me about an hour and a half.


Can someone explain BlueBerry's page to me? How is it supposed to help me?

Thank You sooo much Ninboy for the generator! I would still be drooling on myself trying to figure this all out!

I had no problem with the 1 and 2 modifiers, I used the process of elimination for those however there was no way I would of been able to do that with the 3 modifiers!

[Purple_monkfish]

YES done! I'd gotten all the 1 and 2 ones down this morning but that program really helped on the 3s.

The generator seems to be down for me...am I missing something?

[Bruces galore]

I finished after I spent an hour trying to solve a two modifier message before realizing there was a list of messages to pick from and that I needed to do the one modifier messages first, D'oh!

Okay, I have not read all 7 pages but I think I am missing a few french fries in my Happy Meal! I am trying to understand these charts. I have finished all the 1 mods just by luck but need the charts for 2 and 3.... but when I look at the chart that says "This is for the 1 mod. part!" and compare it to the 1 mods that I have completed, they don't seem to match up. I must be looking at it wrong!

The key says that if you have a V , you need an A thing, then you need to add an 8 symbol. HOWEVER, I start with a V in the key, I need an A but what worked is when I added a X instead of an 8. How am I looking at this wrong? I don't understand how I got the 1 mods, there isn't a chance to get the 2 and 3 without understanding the whole thing!

Mine did not match the key thing on the petpet pages either. So what I did is figured out what symbols would produce the correct one instead - just mix and match until you find out what works for you - use the first symbols only to start and when you find the correct ending symbol, then work your combos up from there...hope that helps but not likely lol. You probably aren't doing it wrong but obviously some people have different combos that work instead of the ones posted on the page you're using.

YES!!!
I spent ages trying to figure out the 3 mod ones, and that generator saved me from hours of trouble!!! Thanks ninboy!

Anyway, this plot seems pretty interesting and Gorix is pretty cool... I wonder where the transport ships are taking people?

I'm still worried they're getting shipped off to be morphed into Sloth's minions.

On another note: I'll be very surprised if we have another puzzle or anything for at least another week - this one was a pretty big one, and there'll probably be a bit of a delay in order to give everyone a chance to complete it.

Looks like TNT froze ninboy's account (powerpk) over him making the decoder. How lame is that?

Very. Maybe he shouldn't have said his username. But his generator is great!

[buttwig]

They just now did it because it wasn't frozen 30 minutes ago. Well I guess its back to 3 mods manually for me........

[Mongrel]

Are we sure ninboy was frozen was over creating the decoder, and not over suspicious account activity? I know ninboy said they told him he hacked their system, but he's probably been receiving a lot of thank-you gifts for his decoder, and TNT could've mistaken that for some sort of scamming/hacking situation.
