Rorschachs Journal
Possible trail head for The Watchmen

Reading http://www.aintitcool.com, I saw a mention of Rorschach, one of my obviously favorite comic characters. It appears Harry Knowles of AICN received an email from someone purporting to be Rorschach. Here is the link to their email conversation, (Warning, some NSFW language) http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33180.

In the email there is a link to a site, http://www.rorschachsjournal.com/. This site has Rorschach's emblem, which if you click brings up a mailto. I found something else

Doing a select all on the screen, found a hidden morse. ... - --- --- -.. / .. -. / ... - .-. . . - .-.-.- / .-- .- - -.-. .... . -.. / .. - / -... ..- .-. -. .-.-.-


I interpret the cleartext as

Ooh, I'll take a shot at this one. I've been lurking for a while but sadly never manage to catch the beginning of a game.

Sent an e-mail to the addy, will update.

You remind me of Weatherbee. I don't like you.


[spec] I did send an email, I wonder if this is a reply to that? [/spec]

This is probably out-of-game, but viewing source on the image frame shows the Rorschach image being fed in from this web site: http://admin.type40marketing.com/.

There is a largely empty/boring directory tree there that can be explored, the only thing of interest I found was this:

Actually, been struggling to place the Weatherbee. It seems there has been alot of mashups between Watchmen, and Archie. Not sure what the sig/insignificance is.

Weatherbee and Veidt

Adrian Veidt was Ozymandias, the superintelligent "hero" that served to pull the story of the Watchmen together. The Veidt method, IIRC, was an exercise program designed by Veidt. Weatherbee, also IIRC, was Rorschach's psychiatrist while he was in prison.

Would have to check a wiki to find that out.

Here's my morse code from my visit to the journal site:

- .... .- -. -.- ... / ..-. --- .-. / . -- .- .. .-.. ... .-.-.- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .-. . .--. .-.. -.-- / ... --- --- -. .-.-.- / - .... . / ...- . .. -.. - / -- . - ....

Going back to send email...can anyone interpret this or is there a tool here onsite to use to do the decode? I am soooo new...and green...

welcome. A long time ago I did a search for a morse code applet and found this one:

Morse
Decoded

Thanks for the help. There is a Morse code tool onsite that worked great also if you're interested. Even has audio.

Found this site:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/

The tagline on this site matches the question asked of Harry in the original email...

Hi im new here, but i have a little something to contribute. The morse code has changed again. It is now:

-- .- -.-- -... . / -.-- --- ..- .----. ...- . / ..-. --- .-. --. --- - - . -. / .... --- .-- / .-- . / -.. --- / - .... .. -. --. ... .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-

And using the morse code applet above it translates to:
