looks like you broke her,. we've got a WSOD (White Screen of Death) on the site

Well since everyone is saying yes i'm going to assume that's the loop that's been activated. (Yay to time paradoxes!)
Anyways i'm going to try to make a different move hopefully this may solve our problem. I asked LAINSY if she can solve the time paradox problem. She said she's allowed to, but if she get's stuck safety protocols activate. So I hope I don't break LAINSY with my question.

Well, as far as active players, I think I just counted 9 throughout episode 3. We might have to wait a while so enough of us have time to vote.

Ok. I've let the curious scientist part of me take over. I want to see how this will unfold. I wonder if the future Genus will start to disappear like Marty McFly. Although, we don't necessarily have to try to disrupt his plan I suppose. I guess we'll have to decide what to say to him.
I changed my vote to no based on Alex's email.

While we ponder whether or not to email Genus...
3 ciphertexts left:
ITERATION (in WHISPHER/blue)
OREIN (in WHISPHER/blue)
emily (in proto)
Did anybody else notice that there was a mispelling here in NOTES/thewire...

I was talking to one of my team members about what sort of wire colors to
use for the whispher prototype. I said, it doesn't matter, as long as it
works. Although the wiring could make it easier, does it really make sense
to waste resources for that? Not to mention time? Rediculous, I say.
Rediculous should be Ridiculous. On purpose or not?

I want to have a vote.
Have a thumbs up or down as your message icon.
Thumbs up means email Genus.
Thumbs down means do not.
Once we have our decision, we should have someone email him, although I'm not sure who will volunteer. I'm up for it, obviously.

I'm back! with nothing, yet so far... and oh, what interesting development here...
If you ask me, I'm torn, again, as usual. I like to perter the thing and see what will happen if we do interfere and so forth. But I am also interested to see how he will pull off to get out... can't both just happen? hehe

I feel like opening Pandora's box, anybody else feel the same? I know many are lurking this recent development...
Edit--Some bolded words for the ciphers: ALEX, OREIN, ITERATION, PAST, AHEAD, AI, LAINSY
That's about it I think.

Great Scott! This could get interesting! Everyone chime in on whether we want to try to contact him or not. I, for one, would prefer not to so that we can see what he was up to when he gets back. However, a part of me does want to see what would happen. It's so tempting!

Time hopping email from Genus...
Quote:
When you receive this, I am still probably on Earth and still in the time desynchronized field that I have created using the LPFG and Tuncarma. However, by the time I sent this I have already left Earth and my plans are successful. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE OR ATTEMPT TO SEND ME AN EMAIL REGARDING MY PLAN. The only person who will receive it will be the past me who still hasn't left. It might cause a different circumstance for the conditions for my departure and might cause this version of me which you have contacted (if you disobey what I just said) to fail his plan.
Right now, the field is limiting any external circumstances to enter the field and prevent things from stopping me. However, this version of me who has already left has never been contacted by anyone of you. Which is why I am sending this message. I don't know the reprecussions that will happen if you do contact me despite me saying not to. Just don't.
I am now on my way to Afyg, it will take me a while but so far so good. Anyhow, the me in your timeline and time plane is still there doing what he is supposed to with his team that's helping him out.
That wll be all. You will hear from me soon, when I get back. I have relayed this message through the EGS in realtime. I can't easily explain what happened, but yes, I assure you that I will try to explain it when I get back.
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE OR SEND ME ANY EMAILS FROM THIS POINT IN TIME UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL
Edit: It's almost like the PM's are double daring us to contact him.

Accept document translated...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thanks to cherrytree for mentioning the PAST/AHEAD pairing. Using the keyed vigenere decoder on the rumkin site mentioned in godder's post above with PAST as the keyword and AHEAD as the passphrase, set to decode, no other settings required, we get (I inserted the spaces)
IF THE FUTURE IS OUR PAST THEN
WHAT WOULD OUR FUTURE BE ARE
WE ON THIS LOOP THAT WILL NEVER
END ONLY TO REPEAT ITSELF OVER
AND OVER AGAIN OR WILL IT BE
DIFFERENT DIFFERENT BECAUSE
SOMEONE THIS TIME HAS MADE A
DIFFERENT MOVE SOMEONE WHO
TRIED TO MAKE THEIR FTURE NOT
THEIR PAST BUT THEIR PRESENT
THE ONE WHO WILL BREAK THE LOOP
THE ONE WHO MADE TO MAKE THE
CHOICE BUT THEN IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT THIS MIGHT BE EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED WHICH IS WHY WERE
ON THIS LOOP HOW WOULD YOU KNOW
WHICH ONE IS THE RIGHT MOVE IF
YOU YOURSELF IS UNCERTAIN THAT
TRAGEDY WILL NEVER HAPPEN
AGAIN I GUESS WELL JUST HAVE TO
GO AHEAD AND TRY BECAUSE THIS
UNIVERSE IS VAST AND THAT
WHATEVER THAT CAN HAPPEN WILL
HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING IS
POSSIBLE NO LAW IS NEVER BROKEN
AND SCIENCE WILL UNDERSTAND
LET WHAT IT IS BE IT AND TIME WILL
DO ITS JOB AND EVERYTHING WILL
BE SET RIGHT BECAUSE THING
HAPPENES FOR NO REASON AND
WITHOUT ANY REASON IN THIS WORLD

Great job Zeighy! I didn't have much time to work with them over the weekend, but I knew we were on the right track. Just have to figure out the right combination of keys and alphabet orders. I'll work on the rest of them some this morning and see if anything jumps out at me. Like Punxtr said, it's possible that they aren't vigenere ciphers. I think that the PM's would be very likely to use one of the ciphers on this tool page http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/ that we have referenced on here several times , so I'm going to stick with them for now.
