Seeing as I'm useless at decoding ciphers, I decided to go over the videos again - anyone know what the weird green/yellow block is on the left hand side here?

the whois for the site has the guy's phone number. Is it a faux pas to ring numbers in these things when you get them from a whois? Still learning, here.

EDIT: Distilled, that's an artifact, from the video process. Or, it at least was put there to go along with the screwed up encoding process. It happens when data is lost or messed up in encoding. Given where it is on the video, the actual position, right next to where the "Other" GBJ is, I'd say it's probably meant to be there.

Well, that answers that! Thanks!

EDIT: Any one have luck with the new post on the tumblr account? I'm exhausted looking at it trying to figure it out.

I ran the code through a cryptogram solver, and the closest thing I got to legible words was "THE EZTHWI".

Though, that still doesn't help much.

Huh, that's weird. I posted in facebook to see if anyone I knew could come up with anything. Strangely my brother posted the link to this thread, and then my other friend posted "THE EITHER" but I have no idea what that means. And he didn't tell me how he got it.

That doesn't necessarily make sense. The title of the tumbler pose was "What needs to be stopped?", so I would think the code would be the answer to that. "THE EITHER" is either an incomplete answer or something more cryptic that we thought, if it's even correct.

23-13-17 17-3-23-13-5-25

assuming 23-13-17 = the
17-3-23-13-5-25 could be e-3-t-h-5-25
I think your friend just took a word starting with e, has the same lenght and a th in the middle..
but e is already 17 in this case and there is no way 5 is an e too, assuming there aren't too different codes or a shift after a specific count of "turns"

For:

23-13-17 17-3-23-13-5-25

Did anyone else get:

SIM MYSIAU

?

It's all I can seem to work out which isn't like the letter X etc. Doesn't seem right.

As I've said this, the cipher has now changed on tumblr!

I was Anonymous who asked the question, thought I mentioned that. Whoops!

Guess IIAE realised that there was no way we could solve that. I spent hours last night and came up just with nonsense.

At least we're learning stuff, right? I am, any way.

About the only thing that seemed relevent to it all was when I got a bunch of vowels, which tied in to the odd soundbyte. So many hours I coud have been asleep...................

So, the forums on GBJ, are the other posters you dudes? Me = Bipolar Joe.

I'm not on it buddy..

So, what do we think 'The Ritual' applies to? Obiously IIAE believes it must be stopped. Sounds like something a bit different to going to Church..

Do you think we are waiting to see if anything else happens to GBJ, or do we think 'The Ritual' can lead us somewhere?
