The cipher changes slightly after every period (either that or my key still has some big errors in it). I can still work around it, tho.

I'm gonna guess that that blank in there is an apostrophe....

CHEERS TO CHANCES END!$##@$%

woo..

DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE IS TURN.

[yeahyeah]

I think its suppossed to be too-long instead of too long. (I broke from your key) oops :)

Also I have 'DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE IS TURN. '
that should read 'DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.'

so the final should read roughly:

I KNOW THAT MY DAD TRUSTED YOU AND I COULD USE YOUR HELP.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN.
IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG,
I SHOULD HAVE HEARD BY NOW.
NONE OF OUR PLANS HAVE WORKED OUT.
I KNOW THAT THEY
ARE STILL OUT THERE BUT WHERE?
DO YOU KNOW?
HAVE YOU HEARD?
CAN YOU HELP?
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
I WISH I UNDERSTOOD WHAT I DID. ??

Unbelievable work!

But...

What does it actually mean?

Is note from James Avery?
If so, Avery's father was involved previously? (Maybe Avery = Mulder - Joke!)
Who is 'still out there'?
Who is being asked for help?

Hmmmmm

[chancesend]

Cheers to all of us. But I was stunned when I divvied up the tapestry and came up with something.

There are still some odd things:

What are the two characters at the end?

Considering tihs was in the ZIP file w/ the Avery photos, is this some sort of communication to Ormond from wherever Avery is?

[Ehsan]

Another solve well done! Great work chancesend for doing all the work, and yeahyeah, Kejej, and Astaldo working in #matrix..

Now what does it mean?

[chancesend]

Yeahyeah, I think you were right with "too long". Though I'm still not sure about LONG - seems more like LNNG, considering the symbols are the same. But LONG makes perfect sense, so we can probably consider it okay.

Oh, and cheers to whoever originally came up with the Braille idea. That definitely moved things in the right direction.

[edit] i just found it >.< nm [/edit]

[yeahyeah]

As for the last two chars, it is either an informal signature, or more likely, a stub to say end of message or just random filler.. That would be my best guess.. Once again, good work chances end, I finally feel like I added something to the whole puzzle solution angle of the game :)

What made you think to split it 18x18 btw?

Also, if it wouldnt be too much trouble another version of the pseudo text picture with seperate symbols for the punctuation marks would be nice if anyone is feeling motivated :)

because he is one of the pm's!! lol
