Big post

ok first I'd like to give credit to nobuofanxiii for helping out big time (and practically doing all the work Wink

)

two new blogs:

http://www.freewebs.com/buckaroobonsai/personalplans.htm
and
http://mmmbophanson.blogspot.com/

and my chat with foldednight

Quote:

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
Given up already?

A:
Give up, no, but I've looked over those blueprints and I'm drawing a blank.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
You look in the wrong places.

A:
Short of going to Kansas I don't imagine your hints would point anywhere else.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
That is not the problem right now. See, I hold all the cards kid. I can wait to give out your exam. You fail to find all sides to the story.

A:
I have to ask, what do you mean by all sides to the story?

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
The better question is...what do you know?

A:
All I know is the same thing Bill knows and that is that the job went smoothly, the gold was put into the truck but it never made it to the hideout.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
You know enough. You know the actors, or so you think. Refrain a second willya kid?

A:
Yeah, sure.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
What do you know about the gang then?

A:
The enjoyable trio? Bill, Buck and the one they thought I was Bruce?
Just know their names?

I know a few things such as A) buck isn't trusted and seems to have disappeared. I know that Bruce (the one bill thought I was) works on 14th street as a bouncer and that buck was the driver which puts a lot of eyes on him.
I know bill is pissed and that he really didn't plan on sharing the wealth so I would say he didn't take it.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
Who ever said sharing is caring? What do you know of Tom?
Amazing thing about the internet kid. There's information on everyone everywhere.
Tom and Buck included.

You're gonna have to give me a tiny bit more to work with, I'm sure there are a million tom and bucks out there.

foldednightSPLAThotmail.com said:
You're missin the obvious which makes me think you're just as useless as Bill himself. Think not of their real names but of aliases they go under. Funny how you miss what is right in front of you.
The more time you lose, the less you have before I take off with the gold. Lemme know when you have all the information you can find. Maybe then I'll dish out the prelim exam kid.

just out of curiousity you wouldn't be talking about buckaroobonsai would you?

Angelus says:
Well I certainly found some information on Tom
Angelus says:
aka mmmbophanson
Angelus says:
the cops don't have it, buck planned to take it but doesn't have it, bill sure as hell doesn't have it and I very much doubt bruce has it.
Angelus says:
And Tom or any of the other cops didn't get it either.

Here's the translation:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

i hear you man. buck seemed pretty pissed too. we all lost a shitload of money and we gotta find it. any ideas of where we could find it? what about your "mmmbophanson"? he's gotta have some leads from the inside right? the cops are looking for it too.

I got it using the Vigenere with key: aurum

I would like to know how you got that key Smile

I used Kender's Vigenere Guesser: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/files/guessvigenere_107.html

If you don't know the key you can ask it to 'guess'. Quite helpful! Very Happy

My latest chat with 'BOB' folded

Quote:

Angelus says:
I see you've been busy getting in touch with bill.
Bob says:
Ah. The bastard is speaking now is he?
Bob says:
No matter. The guy's a doof.
Angelus says:
A g f he may be but a dangerous g f if underestimated.
Bob says:
That's alright. I think of you as even lower kid.
Angelus says:
Coming from you I take that as a compliment
Bob says:
Do as you may.
Bob says:
So did you find all parts to this little spiele?
Angelus says:
As far as I can tell yes.
Bob says:
Lay it on me kid.
Angelus says:
where to begin. Bill planned to take the gold for himself as did everyone else in this lovely twisted plan of theft and betrayal. The plan went sm thly till t found out the truck never made it to the meeting place. You've been in contact with bill sending him several strange emails which he has brought to light. You don't know where the gold is but you're hoping we will find out.
Bob says:
You're a bit off there kid.
Bob says:
The truck came and went.
Angelus says:
Buck says the gold was never put into the truck which makes me wonder if that's the truth or not or perhaps it was placed in another truck.
Angelus says:
The only person I haven't been able to account for is jack.
Bob says:
Care to repeat that kid?
Bob says:
Staying anonymous is tougher than you'd think ya know.
Angelus says:
Jack is the only one I can't figure out.
Angelus says:
As for you anonymous stature you're also a wildcard in this.
Angelus says:
*your
Bob says:
I prefer the Joker.
Bob says:
Certe, toto, sentio nos in kansate non iam adesse.
Angelus says:
you certainly love your latin.
Bob says:
Knowledge is key to power.
Angelus says:
Aurum est potestas
Bob says:
Quite.
Bob says:
You're learnin.
Bob says:
Are you searching for power Gabe?
Angelus says:
Yes, I am.
Bob says:
Just like Bill and Tom.
Angelus says:
The question I would like to pose is what are you searching for
Bob says:
Me? Afraid I need ta keep some things hush hush.
Angelus says:
So have I earned the prelim test
Bob says:
I believe so.
Bob says:
Granted I don't believe you'll pass.
Bob says:
But I have one more task for you.
Angelus says:
I am always up for a challenge.
Bob says:
I wouldn't even call it a challenge, you'll be dealing with dumbasses.
Angelus says:
bill and the others
Bob says:
Oui. They're having a little chat right now from what my computer tells me.
Bob says:
Bill isn't present though.
Bob says:
If you catch my drift.
Angelus says:
A little backup planning with bill as the leftout variable.
Bob says:
If you had a better IQ, I'd make you my apprentice.
Bob says:
Are you familiar with one of the most primitive forms of contact over the internet?
Angelus says:
There are several forms people would consider primitive this being one of them care to elaborate
Angelus says:
For example email, IM, comments on myspace, need I go on
Bob says:
I'll rephrase for you.
Bob says:
Primitive Instant Messenger kid.
Bob says:
I was a little contradictory, which is a tridecalogism by the way.
Bob says:
Which you migh wanna keep in the back of your mind.
Angelus says:
You'd like me to join in on their IM fun.
Bob says:
You're catchin my drift.
Bob says:
Care to guess where? If you tell me where, I'll tell you where exactly you can find them.
Angelus says:
I'm going to take a wild guess and say a yah chatr m.
Bob says:
If you'd hear it, i'd ring a buzzer.
Angelus says:
what do I win johnny
Bob says:
Au contraire, you've lost.
Angelus says:
Ah guessed wrong, strike one
Bob says:
You're getting this game quick. Maybe this is fate....
Angelus says:
Fate is a cruel mistress that plucks at mens sanity.
Bob says:
But what is life without a fitting death?
Angelus says:
Death is merely the d rway to that next great adventure.
Bob says:
Well take the flume and take off.
Bob says:
Gives new meaning to a bullet valentine, n'est pas?
Angelus says:
can I use my second strike to ask a question
Bob says:
That would be the point.
Angelus says:
t 're IMing eachother that much you've said, obviously t 're in a chatr m type setting.
Bob says:
Correct.
Angelus says:
curious...
Bob says:
kills the cat.
Angelus says:
I wouldn't imagine you're speaking of Mirc would you
Bob says:
Perhaps I should buy ya a car with all that gold.
Bob says:
Correct.
Angelus says:
yes, I Imagined that would be the best place to hold a meeting while being able to cover ones identity.
Bob says:
It's all a thinking game.
Angelus says:
And I imagine you know of the server and the channel to which t are enjoying their time
Bob says:
And if I did?
Angelus says:
Well if you wish for me to be your ears in their little chat, am I incorrecting in guessing that
Bob says:
Are you asking for me to keep my end of our little bargain?
Angelus says:
oui
Angelus says:

Bob says:
I'll let you in on a little somethin kid.
Bob says:
You already made a little mistake and that's trusting someone you don't know.
Bob says:
But I will keep my word today.
Bob says:
irc://moznet/momoneymoproblems
Bob says:
Figures that doof would write that kind of dumbass place.
Angelus says:
The fibre of a man shows in his actions.
Bob says:
But actions must be made hastefully to have meaning.
Bob says:
I expect a report at my email by tomorrow morning.
Bob says:
It would be best to comply, saying I know where your prize is, no matter what you care to think.
