Great job massive! I have to admit being completely flabbergasted on the cyphers though.

Jared seemsto havegone quiet, hope he's ok..

I think it is something to do with this:
ThComposer [15:39]: Table - Keers - Eye - Village - Thistle - Crow - Saevitia - Table - Rin9 - Eye - Village - Eye

And possibly the 8 character codes we have from before. Have those been used for anything yet?

Thanks Cross

That rules out the source text of the pics then, it must be down to the camoflauged items then - has anyone tried the list of words as passwords? i.e Eye, Table etc.?

For War & Peace we've got quite far, the most recent post was by Massive, but Lysithea got to the same point

I tried using the first letters of each word, I tried lopping off the first letter (as we've seen happen in this place before), I tried shifting Eye to Hand (that was an earlier clue that went nowhere) and shifting everything three letters ... no avail.

Looking at the password numerically, it appears to either have a bunch of 'D's in it (D=100) ... or possibly a bunch of '2's (2=50). ... Wait, where was that number string with all the 1's, 2's, and 3's?

The 16 page document consists of three patterns that repeat. I have labelled them 0,1,2 which yields the attached document. Anything we can do with a tertiary code ?

EDIT: Silly me, Lysithea had already deciphered this.

New email this morning. It was binary/morse code/ROT in that order. Here is the translation.

Damn this is frustrating, how do we break the code?? Personally I don't want to ask for a hint, but that could be my foolish pride, having said that "there could be consequances..."

If the previous posts are right we are looking for an 11 character code, there are 12 words in the first key, so there are 2 possibilities 1) There was an error in how the 11 was arrived at and it is in fact 12, or 2) We combine Keers & Eye as it was in the first hints, which gives us the 11.

The capitals don't work, I've also tried the numbers of letters per word, no luck. I keep coming back to the fact that he used some of our email addresses in the code, but I haven't been able to find the others

I got it I got it I got it ...

seems to lead to a yahoo 404???

Great work Massive kudos.

I can confirm it works, but get a page not found screen, but then I often get that on this PC anyway due to internet limits set up within work.

So where do we go now, we've got the first and second keys? Could someone try the key on the pictures, I can't do it on this PC either.

Hi all,
I'm new to all this ARG stuff - I was given the Perplex City introduction pack for Christmas .
Anyway, I've been looking at the username/password scripts and got the renata username by factorising the encoded value. This doesn't work for the other since it has limited precision. The only thing I deduced was that the password was 10-14 characters long. One thing that did occur to me about the encoding is that it uses a commutative algorithm, i.e. the order is not important so although the above password works, the characters within it may not be in the right order (and the page not found error reflects this).
Once massive details how the password was found perhaps someone might be able to deduce the correct order.
As a side note, the picture of the bridge in the cache file is the Don Luis Bridge to Vila Nova da Gaia in Portugal. Don't know if that's any use.

I've tried a few combinations both using abc, and using other letters, and the only one that produces anything other than the password/ username combination wrong message is the one above.

That's not to say that another password won't work, just I haven't found one...
