From Portugese to English (Spanish picked up only a few words of it - probably due to the similarities between the few - but still left most in the original language)
This looks more and more like someone elses rabbithole, News and Rumours, here we come...

P.S. Anyone fluent in Portugese is more than welcome to try and perform a better translation

This doesn't seem perplexian at all. Seems far too amateur.

My colleague just translated the first line as 'Our eyes saw tudor'. He's doing the rest now but I'm not hopeful.

I translated it from another site and got this:
The eyes see everything. But cannot read this language. I have outsmarted the like this distant. I concealed some information. Verify for outside of my email address. Find him by.

Ok it seems clear the translation is something like:
They can see everything, but cannot read this language. I have outwitted the "distant one" like this. I have concealed information. Find him by confirming my e-mail address.
This is a best guess by the way, I can't speak portugese.
So...
They can see everything, but cannot read this language>>> A warning there I think, does this mean they can see in here? i thought this was safe?? (TINAG) Still good to know we can always start posting in Portugese?
I have outwitted the "distant one" like this>>> How do they know? And why the Distant One? although this could be an idiosyncratic word in Portugese and just not translated well
I have concealed information. Find him by confirming my e-mail address>> On second thoughts I think this is I've hidden information, confirm back to my e-mail address? as in reply with the cracked message!

New email from The Composer:
Quote:
This message has been filtered by our server security. This is the end of the matter.
Awwww...but wait. An odd group of spaces below lies...Inviso-text!
Quote:
The authorities have the resource and the power to find out where i am. To help me before.. before they come again. Yert they think i'm playing pranks. I fear for my life. This is no joke. This place.. it just isn't right.
Copied and pasted exactly as shown. Whats up with the 'Yert"?
EDIT: Replied with "OK, sorry to bother you" in plain text. Inviso'ed "If this is unsafe, where can we talk?"

Tricky to reply to, due to the "security server" bit.
Could try a reply with something like "please clarify the security protocols so I do not breach them" and then in invisible "how can we help you"/ "who is after you"/ or "where are you" or all 3.
Would we want to encrypt it and as well as invisible, or do we rely on the mystery person knowing enough to avoid "security"

The last three posts (Emails from "The Composer") refer to the discussion here - it looks pretty clear that it's a new trailhead, and not related to Perplex City...so...um, could one of the lovely Mod/Admin types nudge it over to this forum please?
Thanks
J

If this thread seems a little confusing up to this point, it's because we split from one topic, moved from another forum area, and combined everything together here. Carry on from this point like everything is normal.
