next (final) part idea summary- campers will get clues leading a chase across leader's profiles. it will start with (that's the clue we give them) then she'll pass on the next clue, then the next person will give the next ect ect. it will end on yume's profile, where she'll then come to the cabin and be like oh nooooo you caught me and then the database is saved i'm currently writing the clues!

AHHH I LOVE THIS

THIS IS GREAT <3 let me know when i should add it to the desc!!!

awesome!! glad you like it
if my adding is correct we actually have 1747 fragments :00 so the goal has been acheived! considering this, the next one could be 2100? 2200?

(I JUST REALIZED I HAVENT ADDED ANY WORDS OR ANYTHING ALL SESSION SOB)

ping we should update the storyline!!

i haven't been getting any notifications from this forum for some reason - but everything sounds great, cd! also, mlts are due today midnight :0

ahhh i didnt see this!! ill update it today <3

great!!
idk if this was intentional, but only the storyline bit seems to be copy and pasted. an original thought was to change other bits of the desc and title as well to add immersion. i did give a copy/paste option of the entire desc in my post ) not only is this more convincing for the storyline- it’s actually essential to decode the cipher!
a camper has come asking about the decoding- and since there are no titles lr anything else changed she cant begin to work on the activity rn. if you are really against temporarily editing other bits of the desc i should know asap so that i can inform campers and try and adapt the activity without giving everything away instantly ) if not it would be great to change the desc again!!
sorry for constant lings abt the storylien lol

so i can return it later))

The plan has gone wonderfully.
Data has risen in a great wave, filling in empty spaces and slowly washing away the rubble caused by the AI. You've made incredible progress as a cabin- but threats still loom large. You must begin to seek out the root of the problem- the traitor that created the AI.
“I found something!”
You whip your head around excitedly. Finley bursts out of her seat in the shadowed data-basement, gesturing to her laptop. “I found a clue!”
“That's amazing!” Zion exclaims, hurrying over. A crowd pushes around the screen, people craning to see the file that Finley had uncovered. She clears her throat.
“Okay, it says, ‘⊘➵✸ ❋➽⊕⊖⊘ ☾❋ ♮☆♯₪ ☼✸☾☼♭✸ ☾♯ ⊘➵➽⊖ ⊘⊕☆➽♭ ⊘➵⊕☾◆✣➵☾◆⊘ ⊘➵✸ ♭✸☆✳✸⊕ ⊘✸☆♮,’”
Everybody stares at Finley blankly.
“What?”
She frowns. “'⊘➵✸ ❋➽⊕⊖⊘ ☾❋ ♮☆♯₪ ☼✸☾☼♭✸.' That's what…”
“☾➵, ♯☾.”
“✏➵☆⊘ ➽⊖ ✣☾➽♯✣ ☾♯?”

“The AI.”

“It's fighting back.”

sounds good!! <3

next storyline bit!!

[“We did it! We deciphered the Database!”
Cheers erupt throughout the Data-basement as grins and excited eyes are passed around. Despite desperately trying to stop the cabin, despite going so far as to hack its own system, the AI hadn’t succeeded in stopping Sci-Fi from uncovering information vital to the final defeat of the program. That information- that crucial file- is now in the open, for all of Sci-Fi to see.
Zion clears their throat, and a hush falls over the room. Slowly, jaws tense and hands clench. Everybody knows what’s coming next. We’ve been waiting for this moment for nearly a month. We’re about to find out who the creator of the AI is.
Clearing their throat, Zion begins, CD and Finley leaning anxiously over their shoulder.
“This is the file that the AI was trying to hide from us. Here we go-
‘The first of many people on this trail throughout the leader team,
They could be one of eight, from darkest night to one of mythic gleam.
Their name’s the same, no matter if from forwards or backwards it’s seen,
You’ll know you’ve found the culprit when you’re greeted with a wave of green.’”

clues (everybody involved knows their alr!)

EEVEE @amazaeevee

The first of many people on this trail throughout the leader team,
They could be one of eight, from darkest night to one of mythic gleam.
Their name’s the same, no matter if from forwards or backwards it’s seen,
You’ll know you’ve found the culprit when you’re greeted with a wave of green

SKYLAR @-bookdragon-
You’re directed to the Ruins,
You’re directed to the four,
Of the four that lead the Ruins,
Only one can tell you more.
They’re a fearsome, flying beast,
Though they used to be a mouse,
If you’ve found them, then at least,
There’s a fire that’ll burn the house.

POPPY @poppywriter
Azaleas and tulips, a hibiscus or a rose,
Their writing blooms like flowers, whether poetry or prose;
But flowers must be preyed upon, by butterflies and bugs,
Let’s hope you find this blossom first, before the snails and slugs.

ALANA @-nightglow-

The sun protrudes its glowing claws above the great horizon, //
But it is not the answer, for now the moon is rising. //
Its silvery reflection is shown on moonlit seas, //
But regarding this clue, we’ll have to move inland for these. //
The lunar disk is loved by all, indeed we laugh and smile, //
But for our precious Database, it is not worth our while. //
Perhaps the stars? The lovely stars? In all their glorious light? //
I’m afraid not, I’m sorry- they’re not correct tonight. //
It’s not the sun, or moon, or stars- they don’t know where to go, //
It is the night itself that does emit its wondrous glow.

YUME @yumetopia
You’ve been through many letters, these letters full of lies,
I still run my utopia of chaos and AI.
I’m sure when you find who I am,
It’ll come as a surprise-
Because my cabin, yes, and yours,
Are listed as allies…

i really apologize for my communication. life has been busy- travellign, tests, my dad was in hospital- but i know that’s no excuse as i took on this responsibility. i hope it’s all okay </3

if you don’t understand what i’ve written i better explain the final bit to yume https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/906648509/#comments-393332362

going to bed- again sorry <3
let’s try get the campers this bit as soon as we can )

hello there! two things:
1. we need to write a cabin blurb describing the experience in sky-fi by april 5th (i'll send a draft in a few hours)
2. while i was calculating the cabin's word count, i observed that many people have not added words (yet i've seen them complete weeklies and dailies). can we post a reminding / check-in message to all campers about them adding all their words before april 3?

oops! i gave the wrong link to put in sci-fi’s storyline <3 here’s one directly to the new post https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/748453/?page=1#post-7885617

also, it may help camper awareness of this last bit if we put the studio back to normal (not encrypted!)
