Not only that, but if we take the /'s to be word or line breaks, they're not even enough to be a grid. 11 is by itself, surrounded by /'s, which means it HAS to be an "I" or an "a".

I think this MUST be a new kind of puzzle, or at least nothing using the grid system. There is still the possibility that it's Rot-13'd and THEN coded, though, A seems fond of double-encoding things lately.

Do you think the secret to this one could be in that sticky note A gave Lexi? Just looks like an anarchy symbol to me, but could have some sort of meaning.

[Seraphic Adonis]

Hm, possibly. He/she did say that it was quite important.

The sticky note on Lexi's door did interest me, but that's because that when I first saw it, my first thought was: Operator Symbol. Then I saw the A inside, so I'm wondering if the author's trying to say something about the Operator Symbol, or if A's invoking it. But it looks a bit like a (A) anyway.

Actually, I do wonder if A's had any run-ins with Mr. Thin, since that sequence of grid cyphers and EMPLEH (along with the references to a labyrinth) could be him/her speaking on Twitter to communicate with him? "Do you understand me," "do you have a name" and so on. But that's idle speculation.

[Mr.Beyond]

Interesting speculation, that. I had been feeling a House of Leaves vibe from those tweets, but HoL and Slendy have been pretty closely tied ever since JAF, so it doesn't seem that far off. Around that time, I was actually getting pretty confused as to whether this was from A or from LEXI, since Lexi's supposedly the victim in all this- couldn't be him, however, so I guess as much as A is provoking Lexi, he/she is also a victim of a sorts.

When you mention it, it does invoke the operator symbol. I don't know how the actual symbol could be a code, though.... place a circle around the numbers, or something?

[Mr.Beyond]

Sorry for the double post. Seems A is taunting us.... MAD, even, that we haven't solved it yet. There'll be consequences, eh?

I'm going to give it a crack and see if I can solve it before his deadline, but I may just have to ask him for a hint. I'll post the hint up here when i get one.

[grieck]

I don't recall the exact date the newest blog was, but perhaps the attack (that A has neither confirmed nor denied doing) was the consequence.

As well, it seems likely the not was Lexi's doing, like the early stuff from notebooks. But does this make A and Lexi one in the same??? If A is the attacker no, but who knows!

[Seraphic Adonis]

You mean like a split personality? Lexi does describe a sudden headache, then he woke up with a smashed whiskey in his hand... I mean, the injuries could be self-inflicted, and A/Lexi have never met face-to-face. The closest they've come is A's introductory envelope, but Lexi fell asleep before he could see him...

Interesting!

Toooo many multiple personality blogs being tossed around in Slender Land, man. Hopefully that's not what this is all revolving around!

In any case, I haven't been able to follow for the last couple of weeks; I think I've grown lost with where everything is going. Good luck on solving the puzzles, though! It is good to see a slender blog that devotes time enough to them to make them a challenge.

[Seraphic Adonis]

Maybe multiple personality is a new symptom of the Slendy Sickness?

Incidentally, A posted what I believe is the clue for the puzzle.

Wikipedia ftw! Lycortas' son was Polybius, who gave us a cyrptographic method that involves creating a grid with the alphabet and then giving the coordinates for each letter in the cleartext.

Making a Polybius square and using A's cipher, occassionally having to switch between [x,y] and [y,x], I got "Ever taken a walk in Lancaster?" I'm guessing that's a reference back to the photographs taken way back when.

[Mr.Beyond]

Now that you mention it, I'm thinking of calling a Tyler Durden on Lexi's attack. He IS usually drunk or incapacitated when something bad happens- took sleeping pills when A took his note, was drunk during the supposed attack.

I don't know though, I'm HOPING it won't be a split personality twist. We've already come across that in another blog- which was pretty well done, but this time I don't think there's enough setup for something like that.

Good job on the puzzle- A's infuriating. There's no way we'd have gotten that without his hint!

However, he IS using a grid like before- apparently he has a thing with grids in one form or another.

I'm still curious what the "consequences" would have been.

[Mr.Beyond]

LAWL.

.....terrible. Lexi'd have to hide his kids. And his wife.

And his husband too, A's rapin' everybody up in here.


... sad when I reply to one meme with another XD

[Seraphic Adonis]

Tyler Durden?

And that was a pretty useful hint! XD If we hadn't have gotten it today, I would have tried doing it via a substitution cipher (which is what a Polybius Grid is, after all). And the consequences have been pretty intriguing in theory.

And as for the memes... I dunno if we're aloud to swear on these forums, so I'll say nothing :P

[Mr.Beyond]

Tyler Durden...
