I find it odd putting in lelyels name and seeing a man's head. It's not a big deal, but it's a thought to consider.

yes, in the previous version of the challenge, everyone you searched for was a female. now they are all male. i can see how pinpointing a gender to each name would take a bit of time, but then again, there are only a dozen or so females (or female RSIs anyway). if we keep the main string male and then add special strings for the handful of females, just so it doesn't look so silly, that would be good. is there a way to do that ket? :)

I used "GrimKitten" as a search keyword after Tbone was discovered to be an "unsafe keyword", and it brought up the comms with "GrimKitten" of which, she had a male on the video feed o.O

Yes, all characters are currently MALE;
There is no way I the database KNOWS just now if Kayda is playing a female or male character ;)

This will be fixed soon - look out for a "PROFILE" block on this webpage so you can define your character properly!

I personally like having to figure out what you need to do with an answer to input it. It's sort of a extension of the riddle and makes it so the challenge has more depth then just typing the answer in.

edit: i didn't realize this had a second page :P anyways yeah i was kinda wondering if the Profile pics you asked for are going to be implemented or if you're going to wait for launch or something and keep a default face for the time being.

I agree with arch, the toughest part of the challenge for me so far has been how to input the answers I already knew. Adds layers to the challenge, so someone who happens to be good with riddles(or google) will still have to think to figure out the correct format and place an answer needs to be used in.

found a typo (i think). in the beginning, while going through the questions, one of the responses reads: "I'm not one of the angels. I'm so glad I've found one of you. I just want to talk. Contact you for ages." that last sentence makese no sense haha, maybe just cut it out? :)

EDIT: another typo in a riddle: "This hammer, streaks the sky with light and deafens our ears with sound with the ferocious power of it's strike." .... it's should be its with no aphostrophe. :P

archon, post challenge help stuff in the challenge help thread :)

found another typo in the questions (i'm on account #5 lol) .... one of the responses says "We all wear masks. It‪‪‫‫‫‫‫‪‪‫‫‫‫‫‪‪‬‭‮□s the only way we can get through things sometimes." i don't think there's supposed to be a box there :)

EDIT: another box in this riddle:
## Initialising Connection to followtheangel.org

## Analyzing source data...

## Anomaly found in ISO

## Extrapolating variables...

## Failed‪‬‭‮□

Thanks grim - will sort them tonight.

Archon: Wrong forums. All I can tell you is the answer DOES makes sense ;)

No Arch, We figured that a male/female version would be best.  Using everyone's personal RSI image would be cool, but considering everyone will be in their FA uniform most would look quite similar.  Also images seem to add to the size of the file quite dramatically and with the article and the Commslink video image for everyones RSI it would be just too big.  It was good idea though...in theory.

Yep.
Thats the the plan, looks like its working as it should Grim ;)
Just another step, you need to figure out what to do

heh

Just to let you all know, I signed off at about 8PM FAT last night (18th). Today at 4AM FAT I can tell you we have had 200 users REGISTER for the path in those 8 hours.

Looks like MSNBC is having its effect!
