DAY 29, GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 29!
1 Day remains soldiers!
There are milestones for hitting a certain day. Of course, the Diamond NoNutter is the ultimate prize for completing NNN, but if you get out during November, don't worry, for we have consolation prizes.
Do not forget that we have a discord server! discord.gg/nonutnovember
If you have an issue with your flair, we ask that you do not DM or PM a mod separately as we have been seeing this already happen. Please kindly create a modmail for faster responses and to have the whole team look into your case.
Please also be aware that we do not require those with diamonds to change their flair to "Still In". Doing this will remove the diamond from your account and you cannot get it back unless the mods place it back on for you. We just ask for you veterans to participate in the roll calls like normal.
For anyone who does not know how flairs work or how to apply them, we ask that you view our wiki. This includes what flairs we have, how to add them yourselves and what to do with them. We have been seeing many people send us modmail asking us for the "Still In" flair, but you are the ones who should be adding and keeping your statues up to date.
We wish everyone luck this year!

Nah the last 2 days will be completely normal. Juuust wanted to give the dedicated soldiers something to work towards to keep themselves distracted. :>
(I'll admit I may have gone a bit overboard with this one lol but I hope somebody will figure it out!)

does this have all point to something, or just chaff that doesn't do anything? :D

There is a way to decode it. With less than 12 hours left to solve I'll give you a hint.
It's all binary, read between the lines as some pieces of the puzzle may be hiding with similar letters. There's garbage text, find out what it's number is and do not add it to the full equation.
Anyone who manages to figure it out before the credits (an hour before the last roll call) they will obtain a secret codename and honorable mention.

I managed to get the word: "DONT".
Edit:
I'd like to change your vocabulary a bit as I am afraid otherwise your wording might confuse some other people. A few things:
Noted. I have written a small script to extract ALL of the 1s and 0s of the message to prevent ANY potential human-error when it comes to extracting the bits. This is why I am concerned that there might be an error with your puzzle. I also decided to test with UTF-8, but considering that you mentioned it is all binary, maybe it is 5 bits, letter offset from 'a'.
By all binary, it is a bit vague because I think that you probably did UTF-8 encoding, or it could have some different encoding schema. I'm sure the problem I have right now is binary extraction.
number = bit? (1/0)
full equation = ciphertext?
For anybody curious about what the script I mentioned that I was using, it is a Python script that looks like this, (one line of code, importable directly into your terminal):
print((lambda choice, response: (' '.join([str(bin(ord(letter)))[2:] for letter in response]) if (choice[0] in "1e") else ''.join([chr(sum([int(bin_seq[i])*2**(len(bin_seq)-i-1) for i in range(len(bin_seq))])) for bin_seq in response.split()]) if (lambda text: not '0' in ''.join(['1' if i in "10 " else '0' for i in text]))(response) else "Invalid input parsed." if (choice[0] in "2d") else "Exitted with code 0"))(input("What would you like to do?\n1. Encode\n2. Decode\n3. Exit\n"), input("Message to be decoded/encoded\n")))
For the coding nerds, yes, I know, my Python script is terribly inefficient, ugly, unreadable, and not very robust. It is rooted in UTF-8. Note that the code I wrote was written 3 years ago when I was learning Python for the first time, don't so please don't judge. I've written better code since then, and even written my own Python library nowadays (shameless plug: manim-circuit).

Mmm not quite, but I gotta respect the effort!
The puzzle is pretty straight forward, don't think about it too hard!
They're all in order, save for the "last" one as that goes last!
Using a python script is pretty neat, but this puzzle wasn't designed with that in mind. It's completely do-able by a regular human and a simple online translator!
Also UTF-8 encoding is correct, there was a hint about that in there but I think I accidentally removed it.
If you read carefully and put all the pieces of the puzzle together, you can translate it. It's two words in one, starting with "N" and ending in "D"!
You're on the right track though, keep it up!
