We need to find out who is looking for a quorum. I suspect it's not Matt. Well, not consciously anyway.

Edit for twitter

SD card upload in 350 minutes ish!

Just a guess that the nbr string may be a Polybius Square (ssvibickbtzwndumtfxtlqolwipafsflgklp) needing a further decipher with whatever the key (5/4) means. Dunno

Tried fitting a tap code.
Got OOERFRLWFTZJNQTHTBPTCDSCJRXABOBCGWCX with no obvious straight substitutions.

*edit for ninjas*
Now realise this is just the flip of Amandel's square.

No new vid for awhile...

No luck on ssvibickbtzwndumtfxtlqolwipafsflgklp Sad (The 5/4 is just pointing to the Polybius Square???)

The beginning double letters makes me think bifid or vigenere but what keyword?

There's a ridiculously-long string on Matthew's twitter (The_Hotagi) now. It begins with the first group of the Polybius Square. **The geek ring of Hell must be awfully chaotic with all the demonic types spouting this mumbo-jumbo at each other** Laughing

5-4-3

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's a Trifid cipher
the weasel is taking action time to hunt
its influence is scrambling my messages to you brothers


From the last part I take it the first message was garbage Sad
Is it time now for me to go on my rant about testing puzzles as published? ( I just did didn't I Smile )

edit to add:
It really was't the weasel's fault, the Polybius Square converted J to I which messed up the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Trifid
string when trying to convert it back.

Is this the string you were referring to Amandel:

Code:
ssvibjcqbtzibljibmboiaxzesonjrbogrqezqprwzgsrjdablxxqgndcazawfmvcfjklgbfzkgjogpl
?

Also the following message from gregory:
Quote:
Just got home. Someone was definitely in my room. The upload of the new video was stopped completely. Stuff was rearranged. Nothing missing.


and a new youtube update:


YouTube: Link


the comment with the movie:
Quote:
I scanned the SD card and found some weird stuff from a few months ago. It freaked me out because that's my brother. He's been missing for over a year..


A third character
We now have 4 characters:
Mat - missing now, spawning coded messages on twitter
Gregory - having sleeping issues, main character so far
Missing brother - missing since a year
The ferret, the culprit?

Nice catch with the Trifid Booba.

The code mentions The Weasel. Is this the ferret or are we caught in a Ferrets vs Weasels kinda thing?

no sleepy greg is back with a new blog post, explaining his recent video.

It appears the stranger messing with the camera is his younger brother who left home a year ago.

He mentions that everyone gave up trying to find him, but he never.

I questioned to ask if there was anything that perhaps triggered his brother leaving the house, perhaps an event that happened... to make his brother leave...

will update when i get a reply Smile
