Which picture? The one on the website? I know that picture is named limitations.jpg. I know it converted to a .rar

Maybe it also converts to a .txt?

It's certainly something to think about.

Hmm, i'm thinking that limitations.txt is the file contained within the .rar, which pointed us to the passworded .txt, which pointed us to the email, which is where we are now.

Converting the image to .txt produced a loooong string of gibberish, interupted by the same .txt name you were talking about.

Also, I don't know if it means anything, but the page http://www.jiangsun.co.cc is no longer centered and doesn't have music anymore. Weird.

Nothing at MySpace. I messaged all the Jiang Sun listing at Facebook with no friends.


Any feedback from one of the Jiang Suns? Is our Jiang Sun on myspace?

I've had a long chat with jiang sun about the invisible people who seem to be searching for her. She says they speak in a jibberish language and the only thing she picked up was her name Jiang in a not so kindly way. She says she hears them talking in her head.
She says she's been alone for weeks and that she just wanted to talk to people.
They can't understand numbers she says.
I only managed to save the second half of the chat but I'll attach it here.

Quote:

x.jiang.sunSPLATgmail.com: I don't think telepathy is real...
x.jiang.sun: Maybe I'm crazy.
Me: I don't think you are
Me: Why did you make your site?
x.jiang.sun: I wanted to meet people.
x.jiang.sun: I've been alone for weeks.
x.jiang.sun: But I don't want to talk to the invisible people.
Me: why put the code at the bottom of the picture?
x.jiang.sun: They can't understand numbers.
Me: How do you know they're not reading this chat now?
x.jiang.sun: They would have to hack google.
x.jiang.sun: I think.
x.jiang.sun: If they can't think I don't think they could hack.
Me: How can we get you away from the invisible people?
x.jiang.sun: I don't know.
Me: Is there anything we can do?
x.jiang.sun: "we"?
Me: Yes there are others who have been trying to solve your website
x.jiang.sun: Oh.
Me: Is there anything you'd like to say to them?
x.jiang.sun: Tell them I said thank you.
Me: I'll do that
Me: Is there anything else you'd like to tell them?
x.jiang.sun: I can't think of anything.
Me: When did the invisible people first start?
x.jiang.sun: A few weeks ago.
Me: do you remember where you were and what you were doing at the time?
x.jiang.sun: I was studying for an exam.
Me: Why did you start hidding away?
x.jiang.sun: They get louder as I get closer to my door.
Me: Maybe it might be worth going through that door?
x.jiang.sun: It's too scary.
Me: Ever think they want you to say hidden?
x.jiang.sun: Why would they?
Me: That's a good question
Me: Maybe they're worried about what you'd do
Me: Maybe they want you scared and hidden away

Began an alphabet letters substitution with the new page title and other cryptic letters writen there. So far:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"fa kud drec silr"= we got this ?u?h

"oui'mm pa vuiht ajahdiymmo"= you'll be found eventually

"zicd keja ib"= just give up

Would appreciate an independent double check. If it's all A-OK will post here the substitution alpahabet to date. Dunno

I think you're right except, I think the first line should be "we got this much" rather than "we got this rush", as 's' encrypted seems to become 'r' elsewhere in the code. The 'u' and 'h' are definitely right, and 'much' is the only other thing I can think of that fits the sentence.

Yeah, sounds right. The substitution alphabet is rather interesting. All vowels are singled out: 'e' is encrypted to 'a', 'i' is encrypted to 'e'... I would assume 'a' would encrypt to 'y'. Also, 'b' encrypts to 'p' and vice versa, is this a coincidink? Other than that, there's nothing I can do but wait until the PM logs into MSN.

I've started a chat with what I assume is the 'invisible people and so far it's been: (didn't know if I should use a spoiler for the chat so I did)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
