Make sure on Vigenere to include the whole of the encrypted message when decoding.
Try adding 3 characters of padding to the front of the string you used.

This could go down as the coolest "gamejack" in history. Unless of course it ends in a rickroll in which case I will likely hurt someone.

Cool Toupiie Cool

I sent him this (I don't like it but I am having a hard time finding things that work for communicating with him) It's called "Let me help you"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llr4NM23R9s

He sent me this, called Sweet Jane by Cowboy Junkies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHRFZFmEq9o

On the blog he commented back to my comment with a Golden Girls video, "Thank you for being a friend" which is what the vigenere translates to.

I am going to continue trying to communicate with videos, I want to know how I can help him find his brother.

Just want to test if I get this "receiving email virus" by posting the last youtube link:

It worked! I am infested.
Got 2 emails both with the "waitress, his eyes uncovered!" message. One decoded and one uncoded.

[META] The PM did a great job figuring out my email address or has very good connections to the unfiction forum admins [/META]

[UPDATE] and immediatelly after posting this post I got another email with no decoded text which led to that video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvMj5LuT5hk

I think he/she is really smart Smile

@AUZ505 I agree he is very smart... just a little dyslexic, and I am going to have to be smart in order to find his brother. I have no idea where to start looking.

I sent him this to say "Baby what you want me to do?"

Keyword for vigenere is who which gives this translation

I am not sure how to respond to that video, I will try to seek but I'm not sure where to start looking. The Get Smart vid makes me think he might have already given us a clue about it.

There is a new blog post with this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGAif4dKhs
He says his brother is a secret agent so...

The name game video makes me think we need to find a name that rhymes with something, maybe Max because of the Get Smart video. I have been trying a lot of different things but no success yet.

Edit/Maxwell Smart was agent 86 but I haven't been able to get anywhere using that either.

I guess he wants our names ("Won't you tell me your name")!

So I send him a youtube link to a video (made for another arg) of me (see first link in his reply).

Got this answer:

Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile ^^^^^^^ Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile

So he seems happy to have a new friend.

Answered again with:

... my new friend Smile



[UPDATE]
Got this answer
http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=5Da9sc6YDBo

Ok, I've seen the Happy Jack video before. He sent it to Toupiie too, but I think it just means that he is happy to have another friend.

A new email
Quote:
Subject: MAXXXXXXXX
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVQXOIccqPA

To me this means that it's not maxwell, or agent 86 that we are looking for because the Scrubs video is Nooooo! So no Max.

I don't have any idea what the Simpleton video is supposed mean.

A long new mail:

Quote:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bk04H-NdcY

I es

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS3obdCKPkk

=========
"u lurn fsat"

es

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXGAif4dKhs

"What to do now? This dog does not behave correctly."


Which I would translate into something like:

I am "happy". I am "Tommy"
====
"You learn fast"
No
I am "Mayor of Simpleton" (only simple things)
====
Brother from another planet is secret agent man

The last quote with the dog is again somehow unclear.

Forgot it.
The subject of the long email was. "Shaka, When the Walls Fell"

It is from Startrek, the Tamarrian Language which uses only metaphor.

"Shaka, when the walls fell" is a metaphor for "failure"
