I will try to hit them all tonight. I think I am on a way different schedule than everyone else anyhow. I will update after checking each website. I'll just do them in order that you typed them.
blogger, myspace, photobucket, youtube, livejournal, and facebook

What's weird is that blog and youtube pages were made on the same day so it was meant to be found a long time ago.
The first step led us to a blank youtube page, so how were we supposed to get rot-8 from that?

Possibly he was just geting stuff set up ahead of time.
This was his profile from the blog page Jab found.

This is the message TDC left as a comment on the 8 of Spades:
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.
There are some other pictures and codes, if anyone's still up decode away![/spoiler]

How did you come across that?
The N translates to

Deus absconditus

I searched for flickr usernames with that hips code. I thought I did it before but I guess not.

These are all rot 18 in latin:
Photo I:
In terrorem: Latin for "in [order to] frighten," usually one given in hope of compelling someone to act without resorting to a lawsuit or criminal prosecution
Photo R:
Eram quod es, eris quod sum - I was what you are, you will be what I am. (grave inscription)
Photo N:
Deus absconditus - hidden God : God unknowable by the human mind
Photo I:
Altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labi - The deepest rivers flow with the least sound. (still waters run deep)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The photo titles spell IRNI:
INRI is an acronym of the Latin phrase IESVS NAZARENVS REX IVDÆORVM, which translates to English as: "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews".
The text below the 8 of spades is encoded in another way, anyone get that?

INRI is also the inscription on most catholic crosses. I'm sure that's general knowledge but just in case someone didn't know.

If we find the last one (assuming the king and 8 of spades count) then I'll tell the CM and TDC. They both have promised info if we find them.

I have tried all of the codes on Blogger.
I have no clue how to figure out the ace of spades code. So I will continue to try all of the codes on different sites.
EDIT: Nothing on facebook.
DOUBLE EDIT: Nothing on Myspace or Photobucket
TRIPLE EDIT: Annnnddd nothing using those codes on YouTube.

excellent work guys! wish i had the slightest idea what was going on
so the code given with the king of diamonds, rotted in various different ways gave us tdc's yt account, the ace of clubs and all those picks on flickr? or was it the brute-force answer to the same code (which deciphered the email) that was rotted?

Do you think there is some significance to the pictures used?
I know that the N picture is St. Bartholomew holding his flayed skin from Michelangelo's "Last Judgment"
I is William Turner's "Fishermen At Sea"
R and I are mysteries to me, though (and this is pure speculation) with the crosses so very close to what looks to me to be a mosque, I wonder if this is a picture representing either the Crusades or Lebanon.

Nice find Llama. He must have been watching because that tag wasn't there when I went to bed. Now it's changed again.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the next step requires a leap of faith. the answer is right in front of you.
I don't know why the other one said rot 8 or Ceasar I because when I put it in I have to use Rot 18. Cipher I/Rot 8 are nothing.
Also I still can't decode the one underneath the Eight of Spades, but I have a feeling this can be solved without decoding it. Still I am curious what it says.
