I did some messing around with the gibberish; there's a lot of j's, so I indented them. There also seems to be a few phrases that repeat, mainly in the center section - namely, jc1M, jc3M, jY1M, and jU3M. If that's helpful to anyone that'd be cool.

The 888 bit in the first part of the first string might be referencing any of the 59 users who have 888 in their name, but I doubt that's super relevant. (I used the "find a member" search in the user control panel, I'm not insane.) Still not seeing any dimensional analysis, but a lot of the text seems like it *should* mean something. It's almost leetspeak (an informal language or code used on the internet, in which standard letters are often replaced by numerals or special characters that resemble the letters in appearance) ish.

If there's no other recourse, it might be best to just start throwing protects around in hopes that we get a hit...

EDIT: arguably, you could do the enter-thing with M's instead; there's almost as many

[MorningCoffee]

I know this is very last minute but since we have some protects i'll protect hmma, because of the "hmma" in the clue.

EDIT: forgot reason lol

[AstroClarinet]

Yeah I protect RiverWalker88 as a wild guess and since he does astro

[twoplustwoisten]

I protect Booknerd, because Umaroth (thank you Padre) and JC (thank you juicy) did some decoding on the Discord and JC did
"JJ2XG5BANRXW62ZAMJSXI53FMVXCA5DIMUQHK3TEMVZHGY3POJSXGIDTNVUA==== decodes to Just look between the underscores smh"
while Padre got
""You're such a bookworm, Lord of Time"

"You're such a nerd, Commander of Space""
and bookworm+nerd = Bokmerp.

World: Oz

Date: Some Time Between Dorothy and now. Maybe before in some timelines.

"What do you think?"

"You really suck at making clues"

"Apparently......."

"I'm taking the reigns"

"No. I have this one saved for later that I can use now that I know will get a kill."

"Ok fine I'll take the next one"

----

Sciolyperson1: I solved it!

Booknerd: THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE JC!!!!!

Umaroth: Hey! Don't forget me!

AstroClarinet: Yeah! We got this! They'll never stop us!

*Tornado whistles by on the plains. They can make out whispers being produced by the tornado.*

Sneepity: What's that!?

"I have returned, anxious for another kill."

Booknerd: Just not me this time please!

"We shall see."

Astroclarinet: Really? You're really gonna go after him again?

"We shall see."

"The clue is on the way now."

(255, 0, 0) for instance.....

[twoplustwoisten]

okay, so (255, 0, 0) i *think* is referring to RGB color, it would be red. The numbers. . . there's no 8 or 9, is there an 8 version of binary?

[agneg05]

Base 8 is kind of like that, but that I got an error message when I tried base 8.

[caitlinwithaC]

So uh, the numbers do some weird stuff when you stick them into a plaintext program and start moving them around...

It does look like astroclarinet's pfp, in each line. Thoughts?

edit: seems I can't spell "thought"

I thought the same thing, got the same result from changing it to binary 1st and put it into a 9 bit binary to pixel code.org thing

I protect astroclarinet for the above.
