Is capitalization some sort of a clue?

FALSE BROKEN PROMISES (M) PAIN BELIEVE (T) GOOD (W) OP DECEPTION CLOSING

Notice the space before the question-mark. Why is it there?

No, caps are from the source too. The last space and ? are meant to be a "ding" or bell sound which is also in the source. Everything after the first ~94 bytes (I think that's the number) is exactly the same as the source. Think of it like the Space.mp4's extra space that turned into a 7z. The first ~90 bytes of the crop circle are the modded parts.

I'd love to be proven wrong and given another direction.


Ah, I remember that now, but I'd try using another host in the future. If you've got to scroll past "download" links and things, your host is doing something very wrong.

EDIT: http://purviancepyramid.net/Message.html is an interesting link. Look at the bottom. Binary with S's every 8 chars. Consistant until the very last line. Thoughts?

That's the original crop circle. I'd like to think that the alien head is part of the password. But who knows. Also, edits don't count as posting, so:

LAST POST NOW, PROMISE.
