Is he guiding us to a location somewhere? What's with the bronze and iron statues? Or is that a paganistic reference of some sort? I Googled Santa Ana and San Bernadino bronze statues. I came up with results for Plaza de Santa Ana and some museum in Santa Ana dedicated to Sheba.

I don't think he is trying to lead us to a certain location.
And, Jabroni, thanks for the link to that, it'll probably come in handy more often.

did anyone get a look at any of the tags on the cars?? I couldn't make anything out on them. that parking deck didn't look like a church deck... it looked like a public one as it had the spots for mororcycles... though I dono about california but around here churchs don't have motorcycle spots.

I didn't have any luck with the license plates either. The video is too distorted.

Yeah I tried to get a better look at the licence plates and couldnt.
I did try to research the area he could of possibley been in, That small green area with all those animal statues for example. But got no results so far.
One possibility is that there is a Art University.
I thought the CM had some nice threads though, maybe showing he has quite a good job/ well off?
I also thought the CM was giving us a good look of the area hes in. Too good a look, specific buildings etc.

holy smokes! The CM used my confession at the end (the confession about disbelief) I like to think it was because he was saving the best for last...

OK... the Dante quote is the begining of Inferno (and that could be relevant)
so, I guess hes trying to tell us he has already choosen a path, and we are at the door of inferno (as Dante is) he'll be like Virgillio to us...
One more thing I don think hes trying to tell us where is he... remember one of the first rules is not to reveal his location.

P.S when will this game have its own forum?

AHHHH!!! I'm so excited! My confession is featured at the time 2:50 in the video, just in case anyone wants to know what I sound like, lol.
Oh man, I am so happy right now.
So according to the tags, the answer is right in front of us. Anyone have any ideas? Do we have to go back to working at the pedigree chart again? Lol.

I've been trying a bunch of different things with the second code. I've been reading through the forum, but I'm still kinda behind on a lot of what's happened. On the last video there was a code that was rotated based on the time on the screen, and I think that might be how to solve this latest clue. I've tried everything else I can think of, and also it seems like there are too many A's for it to be a substitution or rot. I tried rotating it based on the time it shows up in the video, but nothing stood out to me.
Also I think the second word in the clue is a little unclear. I think it could be any of these possibilities:
1. AHA EMIARAM ATN AHNA
2. AHA EMEARAM ATN AHNA
3. AHA IMIARAM ATN AHNA
4. AHA IMEARAM ATN AHNA

I didn't get a clear look at that code either...I am not sure what the letters are but if we got some wrong we will never break the code.

Well, if the code isn't rot and it isn't cesar than what other code types are there?? That's probably a dumb question.

OK i double checked the code is:
AHA EMIARAM ATN AHNA
I used photoshop to brigthen the letters up
still have no clue
hey, i believe the K-diamond pic does have info on it (digital info)
can anyone help me get passwords?
"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!"
How about this? Found any clues on?

From what I've read, the CM has used vigenere, anagram, different forms of rot (not rotating all letters the same), and a lot of the codes are backwards. Also other ciphers are, railfence, enigma, playfair, base64. This is a pretty good resource for a lot of the common ciphers: http://www.purplehell.com/riddletools/
Also, nachouru: What is the digital info on the picture? How do you find it?

Well... i asked if the sam deercot pictures had steg on (hide information such as a txt on the jpg) and CM replyed... nope... not on those... (check I put exactly his words some days ago)
so if is not on those and we are mising smth about K-Diamond hint... then I guess that should have smth...

Ok... I cant believe i've just spent the whole night trying to solve the
AHA EMIMARA ATN AHNA thing
Ok... If I didnt mess up (I checked it twice) i think there is 19 (maybe 20?) confetions before erics says im so sorry sue right?
I believe CM is using yours to tell us about eric confetion (he confess with u guys ) So each letter (and blank space) means smth about that confetion i dunno what... can anyone (whose moher language is english) translate the sins and tell how many really are?
NACHOURU
PS. Whose is the last confession (i dunno how to spell it sorry) because CM uses to confess himself? or its just o go with the images?
