I have had a sneaking suspicion that the only significance of six is that there is one more word that we're missing, as in there should be six words instead of five.

Possibly but if it's there I can't see it (and I'm told bill and his two friends aren't going to be happy tomorrow)

I have a question, what did you do to find all five words? I see the "words" but I can't make them out, and I'm just curious how you went about doing it, as to perhaps there might be a hidden one.

I realize when you blow it up to 500% you can see them clear as a bell, and they all have 13 letters, and there is certainly no missing 6th word.

As for what they have to do with that unbreakable code I don't know.

So it seems like we're being pushed towards a sixth tridecalogism. If we can't find one in the picture, can we manufacture one? The page says something about "walls within walls" ...

The next time you guys talk with "Bob", please see if you can discover how long the keyword is, right now, I'm trying to brute force a 13 letter code and a 6 letter code, but if neither of them work, it is really too much trouble to guess the key.

Really, there's not even any gauruntee this is Vigenere. The "uuur" just gauruntees that it's not a standard shift cipher, although he did use Vigenere before.

Spoke with Bob....
he will not give up the passphrase but.......

it is a vignere, sometimes called a quagmireIII

the alphabet key is trust (what is said six times...)

here is a solver for it http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-keyed.php

we still need a passphrase
something that we don't know why it is there

and remember we are decrytpong the ROT6 verion of the code.

so your saying the paaphrase is something that doesnt belong with everything else....like perhaps one of the tridecalogisms doesnt fit with the rest for some reason..or like bruce's alias being a dessert while everyone else's relates to a movie or t.v. show....btw i tried bruce's alias and all intercommunal which is the only weak tridecalogism

I assume so...

unfortunately, I did not log the chat, but I got confirmation on th ROT6 then the vig with truth as the alphabet key

When I asked about the passphrase I was told to "see what doesn't fit with everything else. What doesn't seem to belong" I never got any farther. I had to work.

so just rot 6 the passphrase and try the different passphrases (instead of figuring out which doesn't belong?)

I think I tried that already, but I'll try again.

nonononono
take the code at the bottom of the page that starts uuu and ROT 6 it so it starts aaa.

then go to http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/vigenere-keyed.php
click on show keymaker and type in the key box "trust"

you then need to find the passphrase for the other box.


Edited to add:

Bills BS updated yesterday OOPS

What a sight to see...

Angelus you better Censored listen up kid. We went all the way to the damn grand canyon to find a simple note in my name at the ranger station. He said he didn't know who left it but let me tell you if you know something more I'm gonna beat the crap out of you. Short note too, said:

"Thought you'd find it here? You're on a little hunt boys if you want your precious element 79 back. I have it stored, quite close to me in fact so if you want to avoid prison, I suggest you tag along. Angelus is going to be our source of contact, sometimes he will know more than you, other times less, the key is Trust. Their picture is your next destination."

So Angelus, what is this picture he's talkin about huh? Are you trying to Censored with us kid or are you foldednight yourself? I wanna see this picture to know where the Censored I'm going next. I'll be around in the chat at 7 new yorker time tomorrow so I SUGGEST you be there.

ok, I got it....
tricky guy
it was shifted by six but by -6 to ROT 20!

the key is trust
the passphrase is tridecalogism

the solve is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
once again, you seem to prove me wrong. i've bet money against you kid and lost to myself again but with all this gold, how could i lose? trust is what it's all about friend. now go run along and find your own way to inform them; lead them to me. do you know me? well i'm all around you but you don't know where. a close friend perhaps or someone speaking to you from a monitor. the day of the robbery many things were unnoticed. someone came to jack's the night before and switched the license plates and put another truck right where buck should've been. someone was driving that truck with the gold. any ideas angel of death? your next step lies in where badwater resides. oh i hope you don't mind, i'm using a bit of this gold to travel a little. sent a bit to bill too, if he knows where to find it, make it a chase. gold is power, power is all that matters right?


whatever clue you get would go at the end of: www.geocities.com/foldednight

Here's a nugget of info for everyone to play with:

There's a hole in my pocket, dear Liza, dear Liza

I cannot believe that fucker! Asking me to erase that from the database, just attempting to do that can get me fired to the 15th power. I don't even get why, T has been away for a bit but I'm asked now to declare him M.I.A.?! He was never in action, you can't just declared dead or MIA from taking a bit of sick days and not showing up, who knows what the fuck T is doing nowadays. I want my fucking money from Bill that's all I know even if I have to find where the hell he's gone and kill him, the texan, and the fucking bouncer myself.

Doing that kind of work from the database is super tough, I can't get into that he knows that...
