A Postcard From Rabbit

[Mokey Fraggle]

Is it possible there's an extra letter in the last word? Probably just my muddled mind, but I wanted to see if anyone else came up with the same solution.

EDIT:
Wait, hang on. It's correct. I emailed in my response and realized it was fine!

[AtionSong]

I thought the same thing, Mokey.

Here's some advice to those of you trying to solve the puzzle:

Now I'm a bit lost on the seven lines... Not quite sure what we're supposed to send in.

I always liked that story, so I'm in.

Looks like plenty to this anyway, lots of reading, and it seems like this is just a pre-game to the Masque Of The Red Death (another Poe story I think), or is it 66 Theatre Street (I don't know that ref.)

Mokey, as far as I understand it we solve the puzzles to find the next lines, but we send the urls and the translations (if we can) to get points.

So the first fragment is:

All I can find on the fourth puzzle...

[Mokey Fraggle]

I still haven't figured out several of the puzzles, including the fourth one, but isn't Moray this person, referred to on the website?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

It could be, although I'm swayed to Robert Moray because of the "pioneer" bit. Not getting me anywhere though.

Also not getting anywhere on the 6th puzzle/ 7th line.

EDIT: Was just looking at the players forum... strange comment from Jacob M...?? NM, it just looks like he onto the next stage already..

Also I'm hoping Mojo's comment is a wind-up...

EDIT II: For Q4, I've tried
Micrographia
Isaac Newton
Edmund Halley
Christopher Wren
Robert Boyle
John Aubrey
John Graunt
John Locke
Samual Pepys
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (various spellings)
Theodore Haak
Johannes Hevelius
Robert Moray
John Wilkins
Thomas Tompian
Robert Hooke
Royal Society

I am doing what I did last time: staying mostly out of the mystery and being almost entire dialog-based. Most of it is unimportant, but there are a few bits that may be important.

The Potsman says that it's Potsman and not Pots Man, though also says that Potsman is even a "tiny typo" without elaborating on that. Perhaps that feels too important to me.

Attention was drawn to Jorge's "Poultry and Rabbit Inspector" bit. The Potsman claimed that Jorge knew the Rabbit personally then and the addition of Rabbit was a reference to our own beloved Rabbit.

I asked about the damaged stamp and The Potsman claimed that it looked like a peephole to them. Judging by the style of conversation I had with The Rabbit, there will be a lot of important hints mixed in with just randomness, so the specificness in that mention isn't necessarily important.

Actually, most of this is probably unimportant, but there it is.

The Potsman also said that they are not worried about the Rabbit, as they have a history of disappearing down rabbit holes for a while. I take that to mean that the Rabbit is not the one in trouble this time.

Have we found an actual long-term plot or is it just puzzles that feel like they are leading to one? I'm not paying extremely close attention to the puzzle front.

Apologies for the double post, however I found the fifth line, however not by solving the puzzle - I used the url phrase to find it. I will update above.

EDIT: still can't get anywhere with the last puzzle, or cracking the other lines of code I'm hoping someone a bit better at crypto is playing this one...

EDIT 2: Is anyone else playing this? Cos we really need someone who is good at cracking simple sub ciphers. I'm getting nothing ..apart from a sore head.

EDIT 3: OK so I'm playing on my own here, but just in case anyone out there is listening still... I've cracked the code for the other lines it's

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Sorry, just bumping this one as the deadline for the first part of this is tonight (If anyone else is playing)
