 		man...i had a big response that was eaten

good stuff magesteff; nice to see all the other stuff disentangled from this one so we can keep it all straight in our heads now

we haven't figured out the image clues...maybe they are accumulative...curious about the hyphens on the Li-ar Mur-der Lies image

and the lightening/tower card in tarot has the number 16 (XVI)

i think L D phoning Nigel during The Shadow's tomfoolery is the PM showing us that they aren't the same person--or she's not sleeping through it at least

oh, i was going to mention a few hours ago, that Logan made a big deal of mentioning Welsh specifically in the audio file Very Happy

Message I in the place of the g.


Is this referring to ROT-2?


I don't think so since he didn't use the letter "I" in the Spanish version, he used the word "I"

They now seem to me like something you'd find in a dictionary.
Mur-der
Mur-der-er
Mur-der-ess
so also seems the photo was purposefully fuzzy and not a mistake resulting from taking the picture with her phone.

I wanted to check to see if Lie has an apostrophe like the one in the drawing but can't find my dictionary.

And what is Nigel's picture of? I cannot tell what animal that is.

...but it weakens the case for amessageSPLATgmx.com because I thought nigel's account came from that

hmmm, well I wont post in this thread anymore about ammessageSPATgmx.com clues until we get confirmation either way


Considering that the last blog update for the sound mans blog indicates a strange email containing the sound files from this thread. Points to amessage being more to do with TSG than LD. I'm getting a weird dualism feel from this amessage guy though. Kinda skitso in how he gets angry then gets nice(r), then gives up on us and sends the files to tsg.

It's weird.

 		i detangled what i could of amessageSPATgmx from my initial recap...but couldn't be absolute certain on some messages because some posts didn't specify...so if you aren't playing the sound guy and you have received a message from amessageSPLATgmx, could you please make sure I have added to the summary for the players there? pretty please with sugar on top

nice to have this finally sorted

and good call on magesteff Very Happy

It can't be a substitution cipher, because those three big words won't solve. So something else, looks like.

Is everybody else as confused as I am? Dunce Foily!

 		solved it

so i decided to enlist the hive mind and tweet the cipher. Got a reply from a friend who said, I don't think twitter used Rot-13

used rot-13 and got

Cysgodol. Dyna i gyd yr wyf yn awr. Cyfiawnder. Pob yr wyf am ei gyfiawnder.


hmmm...not quite there. But then I figured...well, since the audio emphasized welsh, and another solve was in weslh...why not try it:

 		@ Waitress#2 Thanks! I discovered to my surprise a marmot is just really, really big squirrel!

@ Cyng Fantastic!

 		I think at this point we are supposed to find Shadow's email. Between "message me at the g" and D saying she wants to figure out his email...that seems like the next step. I'm at Disneyland right now so I'll leave it to you guys Smile

 		thanks for the kudos guys, but my friend really deserves the credit, he didn't dismiss it as ROT-13 when he saw the output because he knows Welsh. I MEAN WHAT ARE THE CHANCES! Very Happy

so I sent an email to CysgodolSPLATgmail.com ... it didn't bounce but it didn't reply either, but the pm has been pretty quiet on all fronts so I haven't given up hope yet

one thing about Cysgodol, from what the dictionaries say: it really means shady and is an adjective. Shadow in Welsh is Cysgod. I'm chalking this to a pm mistake, but thought I should put that out there just in case it has any significance
