Nice work, just as I'd finished it Laughing Laughing ! One thing I noticed is that the 1 is upside down on the GBJ letters.

Now just have to find out how to decode this crap.

Ugh, I'm finally finished. Translating all of that stuff by hand was a lot of work, but I think I got it. There may or may not be errors in there, I don't know. By the second page I'd pretty much memorized the code, so it was easier to translate, but I still could've made a few errors here and there (mostly with those scissor looking things).

The number 1s with the question marks I'm pretty sure are correct, but all of the ones with the dots on them on the paper, i wasn't sure what those were, so I put a question mark next to it, and then guessed on what was closest.

I agree with the rest of page one, didn't get past it tho

The scratched out one appears to have been a copy of the next symbol probably just misdrawn

Hrm. It's Hexadecimal, or looks it, at least... running it through a standard hex-english translator comes up with gibberish, I suppose that'd be too easy. Wink

Oh thank you! I probably just didn't copy all of it from the text file I did it in.

I was thinking it looked a little like hex too, but I thought there would be at least more letters in there other than just e, b, and L. And I wish I knew what those dots meant in there.

Yeah, 6789 seem to be extremely common as well

I find it odd that one symbol was upside down based on the encryption

just had a quick look over this during my lunch break. my op is that he has kept the numbering system from the illuminati cipher, but added his own letter cipher to make it simple(!)

a/b/c and d./e./.f

as he uses only 16 chars throughout (if I counted correctly) would suggest hex as others have posted. I thought at first it could be a 256 byte binary file as it doesn't seem to decode into plaintext directly from hex or base64 that i could quickly see, although my thought was dashed a bit when total pairs added upto 258, although could still be a bin file of some kind or not.

just some quick thoughts, hope the above abcdef thing looks ok but I'm sure you see what I mean, but I'm on phone atm.

ETA Also something that seemed out of place was the P1. I at first thought it meant page 1, but none of the others are numbered and GBJ called them P1page1, P1page2... etc, which I thought was odd...

Ah maaan...Being in UK is rubbish sometimes when playing ARG's as almost everytime there's an update I'll be asleep Razz

I like the fact he pronounced my name correctly, for some reason people usually say it wrong lol (its short for xtravaganzer..)

Hmm, will look at some of code stuff at some point soon, probably solved by then though Wink

I think Ripley's right.

There's the Illuminati cipher for most of it - I guess the letters are some sort of pigpen cipher? That's what it looks like to me, and I think that's what Ripley meant above.

If this /is/ hex, then he's probably either using the simple version that Ripley posted or the 'freemason's cipher' that was used in Assassin's Creed two and went a|c|e b.|d.|f

Awesome! Figured it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Qalchemist is right. it's the Hex coded in the simple freemason's cipher, which turns into Base64.



Working on full translation.

Just catching up on this one, when I went to follow him on Twitter, Twitter gave me the standard "Also followed by:" where it lists the followers who I am also following (jeez that sentence makes no sense if you don't know how Twitter works) and there I see... EverymanHYBRID. There's no way this is another offshoot of that, right?

This is the best I can do. It is flawed, I'm afraid, but here's the jist of it:
