 		Sorry if this has already been mentioned or tried by someone, but I just tried "itwillbeyourstomake" and all rots of that in flickr and blogger and as the password itself (I might have missed some of the middle rots for the password cause I kinda figured it wasnt going to work). Didnt find anything. I also tried choice in flickr/blogger and choix which is choice in French. I can't find the translation of choice in Latin, I was going to try that out since it says (translated).

 		Yeah, I was messing with "choix", too. Razz

Also, some poker terms...All in, bet it all, call, go for broke ('breakthrough'), bet the farm, ... though not translated or ROT'd.

Black/white, good/evil...some other choices like that.

I thought that Smooth said someone found all of the artists except for the tilework, but I just found a post where you said you thought the 4th piece wasn't determined either. I think it may be the only actual 'drawn ' piece, unless it is painted in grayscale, or the image was just formatted in grayscale.

EDIT: I thought you might have asked him about something re: the artwork in an e-mail, Smooth, but if not, then it's definitely still a good possibilty.

lol i tried aaaall of that..literally, everything you just mentioned I tried and double tried.. then I started trying everything in French.

Things I tried in English/French:
Choice
Cross
It will be yours to make
So I sat in the house
All that cold cold wet day
City of Angels
Saint
frther
father
son/sun

And plenty more.. I think from now on we should list any important Ideas, or Ideas at least thought to be significant. If your idea doesnt work, maybe someone can think of a variation of the idea that may work.



lol i even tried the word: "translated" in French..


EDIT: English to Latin dictionary:

http://www.freedict.com/onldict/lat.html

cross:
Crux crucis

There is no word for "choice" but there are some for "choose":
desumo, lego, sumo



EVEN BETTER: I found a translator that translates whole sentences:

http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml


Interesting... INRI (the word) in Latin means to laugh at, mock, ridicule.

none of those work as a PW though

 		The title above the 8 of spades pic is: "This is only the beginning"

was this used for anything? if not it may relate to our current Password...somehow..

I tried the phrase in latin and french, with and without spaces.. nada..


EDIT: Ok.. im officially going nuts.. I just tried all 25 ROTs of "This is only the beginning", to no avail.. I then proceeded to translate it to Latin, and try all 25 ROTs of that.. still nothing. Finally I translated it to French and tried all 25 there...NOTHING... Tom betta be telling us a little more than yes one thing outof the 25 things you just said, is on point..

 		Response from Tom
another hint
First, my mail to Tom:

Quote:
After reading your response to Rabid Kitten, and her EMail to you, I am convinced that the word "Translated" is what you are referring to when you said she was correct. My guess for which language was either French or Latin, and seeing as though all the solves for the INRI labels were in Latin, I will stick with just that, Latin. Now, as for what I need to translate to Latin is where I believe all of us are stuck on.. there are so many possiblities..INRI, Jesus of Nazarus, King of the Jews, Choices to be made.. I just pray we are not wasting our time with all of this.. Im sure you wouldnt sit back and watch us fall over ourselves, no not you, youre not the type..lol Anyways my question for you is:

I made this E-Mail broad and vague on purpose... am I off base with all of this? Yes or No will suffice..



His response/Hint:

Quote:
Very good. You're partially on track. But the password is in english.

Tom


So my guess is it has to do with INRI.. and its in english.

so that means:
-not a ROT (ugh)
-not to be translated to latin/french


EDIT: Do you guys think it has anything to do with the passage underneath the 8 of spades? here:


Quote:
The others will come from the east, west, north and south. They are already coming. The message will spread like a cancer throughout the land, into every country and every corner, into every home and workplace. No one is safe now. The seeds will grow from within, tearing apart communities, neighborhoods, families, until rivers run red and there is nothing left but dust. You have been warned.


where does this passage come from? that could be our pw..


Nicole, Your post regarding the passage above never had the method you used to solve it.. did you decode it to latin, then translate to english? or was it straight to english? Was it ROT or something else?

I didn't talk about the "translated" element in my e-mail.

I've played some with the directions from that passage...East, West, etc. Looking at choices...

I've tried the world's deepest river, Yangtze. Deepest lake, Lake Baikal. World's longest, Nile (contested with Amazon). ("Still waters run deep" under what I am thinking is a drawing, but the river mentioned in the passage.)

You mentioned the cat.txt and "translated" was at the bottom of it..

I tried all 4 Gospel versions of the English translation of INRI (with spaces, without spaces, with punctuation, without it) im starting to think its something "different"..

That east west north south passage seems like a riddle.. i get the strangest feeling like its almost asking us to figure out what "the others" are..

I was referring to the east west north south passage in the comments section of the 8 of spades... not the title Catfight!

The solve for this was rot-13.

To me this sounds like the description of religion. You have missionaries, then people from the community believe it, "growing from within." Of course this is a negative portrayal of that, so maybe Tom is not a fan of religion, or is of a different religion than whatever is being spread. Or it could be some kind of separate cult. Or it could be none of the above, Confused ??

oh i thought you were referring to the recent post. sorrryyy Embarassed


Something of Interest:

Wicca Claims:
East = Air, West = Water, North = Earth, South = Fire

Celtic Cross Tarot claims:
East = Fire, West = Water, North = Air, South = Earth

With that said.. check out what I bolded and keep an open mind here..

Quote:
The others will come from the east, west, north and south.

They are already coming.

The message will spread like a cancer throughout the land, into every country and every corner, into every home and workplace[<-Air].

No one is safe now.

The seeds will grow[<-Earth] ...

...from within, tearing apart communities, neighborhoods, families, until..

rivers [<-Water] ...

..run red and..

there is nothing left but dust [<-Fire].

You have been warned.



Have I gone completely crazy or could there be something in all of this..


Fire, Water, Air, Earth

Quote:
It seems quite reliable. More, Bible introduces light (fire) and water before air and earth.


this quote comes from this site..
http://occult-advances.org/elements.shtml

Fire, Water, Air, Earth/East, West, North, South

The exact order they come in, in the passage...

 		A couple days ago he told me he was going to email out a clue, but I never got an email from him. So I asked if he thought of one yet, here's what he said:

Quote:
I sent it to Rabid Kitten, because she sent me an email that was partially right on track. Everyone seems to be close to the answer....this isn't an out-of-the-blue solution, it's fairly simple and logical.

The next clue is:

"read carefully"

Tom


Read what carefully???

 		Finally...

So if translated is the right word, and the answer is in English, what can we translate INTO English?

"We're going to have to change everything. Appearently we've been hacked, so I'm taking extreme precautions now. This email should be secure. The Feds gave me a new laptop to use for everything. They're also taking over the website stuff from now on.

The investigation has been leaked. I think Deercot broke into my computer remotely. That's their best guess. I got sloppy with my emails and I feel terrible. I don't know what this means for Eric but I fear the worst. They told me to deny everything and try to do damage control. I think they're gonna bring in an "expert" soon, dunno what that means as of yet...but obviously we underestimated this guy again. I agree it's time to get proactive. I wanna hurt this asshole."
