Uhm, apologies in advance for this lengthy introduction post...

I was catching up in the background. After the repetitive hex-to-rot and King ciphers, this has become quite interesting. You have to keep track of what has been done.

On two techniques you were wondering about:
1. hidden stuff in PDFs
You can highlight the entire text and copy it over in the text editor of your choice.
2. type/form hidden in blog comment
That was tricky, but not as unfair as only being hidden in the source. If you hover over the words in the comment, they underline. Just in case you missed that. Smile

Regarding latest file:
Do you think that Tannh�user was involved in the harddisk failure?

And some thoughts:

Why are three dates circled on the first sheet? And three numbers only half-crossed? That might be connected in that T has picked the next three psalms to use, but didn't distrubute the other half of the XOR, yet. Hence only half a cross?
Anyway, now that the sheet has been discovered by NLI, seems unlikely that T will use it again. But maybe there are still three codes out there.

Just a funny coincidence that the backwards acronym for Incident Last Night spells NLI.

There was probably no IG reason for using x-rot in some places and 13-rot in others. At least on the Trash files there is no reason to use 13 to keep it more simple, as certainly was the case with other encoding. But maybe that's because two different people are encoding? Recently, T alludes that he is one of a group that is unknown. Is he a werewolf, too? Or something else? The reason why there are werewolves? Or perhaps that wasn't T but Pers talking?

As for why werewolves exist, I'm pretty sure the original Lupine Institute is to blame. T might have been one of them. He revealed their background early on. Possibly they used lycanthropy on themselves.

Did we use the NLI login, yet? Or is this just the underlying framework for the Morgan Trash files?

Are Pers and P.Goddard the same person? I think so. Did somebody contact Goddard?

And, of course, what is in Rome? Or is Rome a person?

Heya, Brax, and welcome to RUaWW where I'm doing the lil happy dance you have delurked at last.

And, indeed thanks, the words "form" and "type" do underline in green yet not in IE and only in Firefox which just became my standard browser for this ARG. Wink

That said, AUZ's tip on highlighting hidden PDF info seems equally kewl and a tad easier.

The employee login @newlupineinstitute.org which gives the same prompt as the Parent Directory in the "Trash" have not yet been accessed but that's why you're here of course. OUR outside expert if NLI is allowed one for the new cipher. Laughing

There are differences, and they are interesting

WOW, Molnar, as usual! OK, was just about to post the 2nd, shout Eureka Laughing

and now more important ask this question....

Does this mean that Lor= Lori Diamond and is she Tannhauser or working with him/her?

I would have to assume that the mole inside NLI is Lori. That would make sense given the 6/18 email.

I'm trying to decide if the strange capitalizations are important, or are mistakes (mine or the coders). For the cases where I've gone back and looked, I have the letters CENNDEI.

Yeah, there is probably an error in my decipher script where I'm losing capitalization when shifting. I'll have to look into that. Embarassed

You beat me to that, amandel. Laughing

Were we supposed to find this? Confused

I was thinking that perhaps we were supposed to talk to Pers some more.
I automatically thought "peers" was a clue for Pers.

By the way, PERS is an acronym that is related to Geauga County. Probably the name was picked to make the blog harder to google?
Edit: "geauga teutonicrichard" finds this instantly, though.

Morning Y'all. On first appraisal of the NEOhowl blog my ladybug instincts are warning we shouldn't comment on it.....

or NEO (GeekWolfGrrl) will move it elsewhere. Always happy to abide by a consensus vote though.

@Brax: can't imagine why it shouldn't have been found now. Answers lots of questions.
