Sorry for bump but this bot keeps asking personal questions I think it is collecting chat logs.

oh stuff... I hope the logs don't leak or else everybody will learn my favorite color.

I banned ana and that fact checker bot.

So I did a little snooping into blocklandana.science. The whois doesn't seem to give any leads, nor does the HTML code of the first page. I tried looking up the latitude and longitude of the site's IP, but all it gave me was generic coordinates for the US.

Then I did a search for hidden directories. Sure enough, one comes up. I go to it, and get a 404 error. However, I noticed this 404 error was distinctly different from the other 404 errors I was getting. There was a hyperlink on the page, so I clicked it. It brought me to this page. The title of the page is "Zeitung". On it is a picture of a road and a wav file looping in the background. In case the page is deleted in the future, here is the audio file and here is the image reuploaded:

The original image was uploaded 5 days ago today. I can't seem to figure out who posted it. That may provide some clues. I also have a hunch that the image may contain some secret message, through stenography or something similar. I haven't yet explored this possibility, though.

I tried search a few Blockland player databases for "Zeitbung", but with no results. It looks German, but Google Translate translates it to "time Bung", which makes no sense.

I also noticed that the sound playing the background sounded a bit choppy. Wanting to make sure this wasn't just lag, I downloaded the file and opened it in Audacity. Sure enough, several segments of the audio are cut out. My first guess is that this must be morse code. If you treat the portions with sounds as dashes and dots, the Morse code is ".._. ..---". If you run this through a Morse code translator, you get "/2"

Sure enough, I entered blocklandana.science/newspaper/2/ into the URL, and came up with this page. On it is a black background with the following, peculiar text on it:

Code: [Select]

2
B



2/????
B/AFIC

What this mean I have no clue. But, what I am pretty sure of now is that this puzzle was intentionally put here. These aren't just some webpages that someone forgot to delete from their web server. Otherwise, why would the Morse code point to the second page?

Any ideas, guys?

I think so, too. I'm having fun with this.

So my hunch is that "B/AFIC" is a cipher of some sort, and we need to use it to decipher "2/????", which lead us to the next URL.

seems like we got an arg on our hands

I figured it out. "B" is the second letter in the alphabet, which corresponds to "2". So if we translate "AFIC" to their corresponding numbers in the alphabet, we get "1693". Then, if we go to blocklandana.science/newspaper/2/1693/, we get our next clue: an image with the words "- COVER PAGE - " in the middle. There are some characters on the bottom that appear to read "001", perhaps a page number. If you flip the page over, this number reads "100", and you can see that the top portion of the image appears to be a word crossed out, with "- *C -" printed over it. Here's the image reuploaded for historical purposes:
