I'm still following along, and I'd be up for that sort of double-agent type thing. I actually thought about it before, but decided against saying anything until we were sure the game was going that way. If you guys want me to attempt to gain his trust, I'll give it a shot.

[Esteed]

Oh yeah, I agree. Though perhaps one of the Completed should let Menelaus know about the plan, so that he doesn't think I'm actually allying with Zero?

[stingray]

No worries Esteed. I've let Menelaus know, and asked him if he can to contact us to let us know he's still OK.

[JohnnyCon7]

Well he hasn't responded to my email yet. I'd just like to make sure it's secure, if Zero is intercepting his mail, then letting him know your on our side will also let Zero know.

I'll tell Menelaus your undercover as soon as I get confirmation it's secure.

Of course Menelaus could just read your mind, and know what side your really on.

EDIT: Well, lets hope its secure. I'm probaby over-thinking it anyway!

[stingray]

With Menelaus captured, how much worse can it get? Oh wait, there's a knock at my door..........

[Esteed]

Something occurs to me. The 5 was placed by the entry from June 1st. On June 5th, another entry was posted, containing in the source a 13. Perhaps it's not a required post count, but a date marker?

[Esteed]

It worked! I just checked my mail and discovered an email from Zero.

[JohnnyCon7]

I got a response from Menelaus last night. (Alex Russleburg? A slip of the curtain?)

[Esteed]

Well, if you were to hack his blog before the reveal, it wouldn't be that hard to say that you hacked me as well.

[stingray]

So now there's a 21 in the source of Zero's blog. That's 5, 13, 21.

I've got four theories:

1. They're all 8 apart which is obvious, which would make the next number 29. This wouldn't actually mean anything though with regards to a password.

2. My blog comment counter theory. This still holds as we didn't get the 3rd number until we'd posted over 13 times to the blog.

3. The date marker theory. It can't be a date marker as the blog was updated before the 13th.

4. It's a simple substitution code, which would make the first three password letters EMU.

The 1st and 3rd seem poor, the 2nd a maybe, but my money's on the 4th option.

With no progress in the last few days, may I suggest a bombardment of the incomplete incarnate discussion to take it over 21 posts, it seemed to work before.

[RandomJaz]

I've been thinking, emu aren't the most common of starting letters for words, I think either he is giving us the letters in reverse order, and the word ends ---UME or his password is a word spelt backwards, Oh, and Esteed, was "1" the extent of the information Zero entrusted you with, If so it may be another character in his password, and if my thinking is corrent, it will be the first letter, so the password will go A???UME, or so I would ASSUME. But then I am just spitballing here.
