hmm...I see what you're getting at snu, I tried it, it does fit....

is anyone on AIM or IRC seeing as were on at the same time?

[audioslave]

I'm on AIM, feel free to add me

[SnuBear]

there is an AIM room call PROJECTRENATA and I just created an IRC room named #renata.

[Karija]

I'm on aim, too.

[Abstract]

ive been trying a little decryption

firstly, since the code 2 A O M N is in the key of ACE, which is the sixth note in the c maj scale, i ROT-6 'd it to give 2GUST. I then used that as a key to decrypt "Harmony" which gives "cuxuvis". This is not a url that i found.

Next, i tried decrypting Harmony, ROT-6 'd with 2GUST (2 A O M N ROT-6 'd), and got iadaboy. I dont know if this is coincidence but it says to me adaboy, i.e. you're on the right track.

Im trying a few other things now.

oh, btw, whats the link for aim chat again?

[mbhulo]

It's also the a-minor scale, isn't it? If the whole thing is in the key of ACE.

I'll try heading for the AIM room.

Also Wow. We need to be precise...I'll try again.
IG we're told that Composer is just code. Would it matter if the ban is there etc. etc.
I don't think we'll see C2, Cn. As long as we PM, it should respond?

[Ethernull]

Okay, I'm confused . I keep seeing references to the Key of ACE. I have an extensive music theory background, but I think I must not be looking at it the same way as you guys. Can someone explain what the meaning of "Key of ACE" has?

I think I'm being thrown off because ACE is not a musical Key. Its a chord, A minor.
(EDIT)

Oh, I get it now.

He means the Key of A minor, he just had to go and get ARGy with the nomenclature and mix up those of us with formal training. Sorry, had a brain cramp trying to understand "Key of Chord" until I started thinking like a guitarist and not a composer.

Okay, A minor:
A B C D E F G

Chord Structure of A minor:
I Tonic - A Major (AC#E)
ii subtonic - B minor (BDF#)
iii mediant - C minor (CEbG)
IV Subdominant - D Major (DF#A)
V Dominant - E Major (EG#B)
vi submediant - F Major (FAC)
vii leading tone - G diminished (GBbDb)
VIII OCTAVE - A Major (AC#E)
(EDIT: I had A minor as the tonic, as opposed to A Major)

Not that that helps much, lol.

When was the "Key of ACE" clue given, and in relation to what?

[mbhulo]

Here you go Ethernull.

It happened like this.

[Ethernull]

Thanks mbhulo

So, "This symphony is in the key of ace"...

But we dont know what symphony refers to yet do we?

[Ethernull]

I needed a recap, so I read the thread and found a few unsolved things so far:

Well, Patrol pulled up this.
And the guy posting is Composer1
So I figured...

This came from Composer1:

My symphony. I shall give another week. just one more

every second letter is the letter before the one shown, the others are just the same.

Deduction:
These are all the same code, written in defferent order and spacing. He is really trying to get us to focus on this code. I assume that the most recent version (Harmony) is meant to be a more obvious clue than the originals. We should consider the difference between them and how the most recent could supply us with more information to its solve than the first ones.

Also "every second letter is the letter before the one shown, the others are just the same." may be vital to the solve.

One version has no numbers in it, did that version come from the composer or was it an edit by a player?

Also, the words user and url occur in one version of the code, as does the word harmony.

It has been pointed out that the "Key of ACE" may refer to the line with the same triad in the most recent code.

Lets put on our thinking hats
Thoughts? Ideas? Corrections?

[SnuBear]

i have a feeling that there is some website or link that we should be getting out of this... i just keep feeling like the fact that his location is the ACE one. almost like a its hinting at something we havnt seen or been to yet.

[Ethernull]

Well google yielded the following on 2AOMN:
http://malys.org/appels_offre/img_appels/AO_415.2.pdf
AOMN n° 415.2

but I doubt it is related.

[Dano]

Update

[SnuBear]

when she says it sounds like al khari but isnt, you think maybe its like the composers "i shall give you another week" code where we need to switch out every other letters or a similiar trick with the harmony code?
