 		Floki
I was out of town and could not get on the forums but i am still in this, as for the deleted message. i was going to ask how you got him to assign you your call sign and the inmate number. but figured it out so i got rid of it. And il have my gf take a look at the musical notes see if they mean anything to her (She is a concert Pianist) Sorry for frustrating you all.

 		Was just looking over the spreadsheet and realized. The slight, sharp, moderate and rough are probable weather conditions we were given. I got slight. Idk what you all received. The only one that stands out is craft, also noticed the call numbers we were assigned are most likely our email addresses. And aren't randomly generated. Doubt it's relevant but i noticed because i have a weird last name.

 		The A numbers? You mean like A1 on the ID's? Those are country codes. Denotes the country the user lives in. A1 is the US.

As for the ID's being attached to your email name. That is true. Me and Lioness already figured that.

But yeah, it does look like those two columns are perfectly orthogonal from each other. If you expand this so that it's not just A-B-C-D... but A-A#-B-C-C#-D... you'll find that they all have 1 occurrence each, I think.

So this is what that looked like:
Code:

Hmmmm still have two columns with Zero's.
But apart from that it does look like "one use each". I still believe this is a "map" or guide. I don't think it is a message as there is no repeating.

The Sharp is only ever used directly after the Alpha code so you may be right that these are musical notation but I am still puzzling over the "Moderate, Rough, Slight"??
I wonder what it would look like if put in order on music lines? Not being musical myself I will see if I can find a program to do this.

We determined that when it was saying "craft" it was rough. Just me going crazy from listening to too much robot voice.

I think Floki may be right here because our emails are formatted as:

CALL SIGN: ABSURDUS
Direction: W
Conditions: Slight

I think it's about the weather conditions of the "forcast". I've only ever received Slight so far though.

 		Ok, looking at musical note writing software online and found one with a piano interface. Piano's don't have a b# or an e# from what I can see.

Could this lend weight to the music theory? Any Musical people want to have a go at mapping this out and playing it? (Would it sound any good?)

 		Just was doing some online searching for "Moderate, Slight, Rough" and added forecast to the search and found that they are terms to describe Sea State http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_state in forecasts.

Note sure if this is the intent but what do you think?

 		That theory seems to hold water Cool .

Not sure if it's actually helpful to the map thing though.
