Reddit/YouTube based ARG surrounding the Springfield Three
Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnsolvedMysteries/comments/4ukufl/sib/

There was a discord created for the ARG here: https://discord.gg/wda4P

The thread and discord are pretty chaotic. A lot of inexperienced people are trying to help out. The discord has a well-put-together list of clues and solutions, however.

This is based on the long-standing cold case of the mysterious disappearance of three women in Springfield, MO. Here is the background on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Springfield_Three

The Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yVQG7G3LQx6lj6hC-bbqQ
The OP's Reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/Aglaeca999

I posted here to get more people involved, and if possible, to create a less toxic environment to discuss the game. Thanks!

 		So we have two new clues that we have not yet been able to decode, one is by itself:
0DUIH

The other clues came in a pair:
Many,Less and 1311331454

The other clues that came in pairs had a clue for which cipher to use, then the code to decipher. An example being the clue "A Long Scyth Makes for a Short Tale while 5 Bands Play." which led us to a scytale with 5 bands. Or "@ Based His Head In" which led us to an atbash cipher.

We cannot figure out what the hint "Many,Less" is. Can anyone help?

 		I don't know how the clue would lead you there, but I can give one possible solution to the 2nd half. Break the string of numbers into pairs, then use them to index into a 5x5 grid.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To make it yield a real word, I assume I=J in the grid, so 33=N and 54=Y.

I believe the word you found is "candy" correct?


We did find that, and "More" is "Poly" in Latin, which could give us the first half of Polybius, but we cannot figure out where the "less" comes in. That word is also irrelevant to the game as a whole as far as we can tell, so we were thinking maybe it was double encrypted.

If that is the only solution you found then perhaps that is the only solution.

Thank you so much.
