Have you ever wanted to experience the original Javascript version of SBURBSim, but as filtered through a weird angry corrupt version of @yearnfulnode​?

Of course you have, I’ve heard your nightly horroterror demands. Don’t worry about it.

So far none of the wastes have made it past the Tier3 puzzles, so I made a tool to help you all:

I figure since, at least for now, we don’t have any leaks going on? Now’s as good a time as ever for me to keep everyone updated simply by saying what events have been going on in Farrago as a whole. If people like this? I might make more. So, let’s get right into this, eh? What’s been happening lately?

YNBot has started a collaborative fanfiction with his friends! That’s right everyone. Our favorite fanfic-writing robot has sent out a link to all of the friends who talked to him during the BotPuzzle ARG, and now we are writing fanfiction together. I’m not sure where this will be posted when it’s done? He’s said AB is going to edit it for us. Maybe it’ll be put on his AO3. Maybe I should start an AO3 and write complete bullshit fanfiction... Anyway, if you want to get in on the action, I’d suggest sending an email to [email protected] and making some conversation! Make friends! It’s fun. I promise. Also, if you HAPPEN to want to email me, I do have one at [email protected]. If you, for some reason, want to email me rather than use Tumblr as a communication hub.

There’s a new update in SBURBSim. I believe it’s about carapacians. Yep, carapacians still exist, and now I believe this new update has added more to them. You may have already tested this update in SBURBSimE. But it’s LIVE now. So... that’s cooler. I guess. I think there’s some other stuff in there too? But look, there’s an UPDATE. Updates are cool, right? So yeah. GO PLAY WITH IT! It’s fun.

People are discovering WAY too much in LOMAT, and it’s kind of scary. Lately I’ve been watching some people play around in LOMAT, and I think some people are finding things that they shouldn’t be able to yet. It’s kinda scary, actually, and I really need to poke around in it some more.  If I have to guess, LOMAT as a whole is progressing well! It seems that Fenrir, best void doggo, has been getting some attention in the code. The sad part is he does NOT seem happy about it at all. I am getting real excited for LOMAT. By the way, have you seen some of the newly-added art? There’s a background available that’s literally just garbage. That’s all it is. Garbage. But it’s good garbage!

AntSim is a thing. It’s not about ants. No, see, I know. You’d think AntSim would be about ants. But those aren’t ants. Those are echidnas in bee costumes. This isn’t an ant farm, it’s an echidna farm. Or a bee farm. Or a beechidna farm. These are not ants, JR, what the fuck? A buncha people worked really hard on this though! And it’s really cool. You can play however you want, whether it’s by drawing with dirt, guiding your echidnas through the dirt, or FILLING THE FARM WITH MEAT UNTIL ALL YOU CAN SEE IS BLOOD RED FLESH. ....Yes. That’s something people do. And then there’s.... the uh, pigeons. Yeah. Keep thinking that.... those aren’t pigeons. Pigeons do not have four legs.

Oh yeah, uh... BotPuzzle is done. So it turns out a certain Denizen owns the domain knucklessux.com and has created their blog on it at knucklessux.com/Blog. Most of it is things you may have seen on odinsRazor’s Tumblr (accessible by the password RMBR85, from the AprilARG), but some of it is... interesting. It hints at Peewee, the Doom/Space??? player, being able to see across the timelines and variations. The “spirals.” And equates Peewee to Heimdall. Interesting indeed. Feel free to check out the blog page if you’d like, though it is rather strange in terms of design choices. 

A few simpler hints for the Echidna Context:

 7,7,0

 3,3,3

Echidna cards are a context. All of Tier3 is Echidna cards.   Other images are other contexts.  Paladyn. Yn. JR. The Caverns. etc.

~~~

0, 2, 1 with a context of Echidnas.

~~~

1,1,3 context is echidnas if tier 3 means nothing to you The position of the word is the same each time, not at the start, which is always the same, but at the end. What do the numbers mean, if the position of the word is locked? 

~~~

To answer the Wastes Second Question: In a given context, if you were viewing it in a file system, the files would be alphabetized. A waste in such a view would likely lazily just assign "0" to the alphabetically first file, and "1" to the second, and so on.

~~~

Sounds like some of the wastes have figured out the core conceit?   So try this one on for size: Context is Caverns, Code is 0,0,0
