EDIT: new post on Game of Truth blog

EDIT2: I implied we were stumped on the code. here's his hint:

Quote:
Well then. Maybe there's something in the past that was strange you should look at?
Just remember, I know everything. Perhaps it's part of that everything you're overlooking.

*snip wikipedia quotes*


For some reason, that, and your avatar, reminded me of a popular quote in House, "Everybody lies," which could be quite true in this game.

After all, you HAVE watched him.
I assume you know his name.
Host: ...Hm.
I had forgotten Google e-Mail had a chat feature.
me: Well, now you remember.
Host: I ask you: Why does one such as yourself care?
me: Simple clarification.
Host: Let's put it simply.
His name won't matter anymore in a few hours.
me: Oh. That helps my associates and I. I'll be sure to inform them.
I'll be sure to stay in touch.

Eh, don't worry. If he does completely get it, just confront him about being "John Nolan".

EDIT: Notice the new post?

Host: What a pity.
Seeing as someone is going to die every day.

Host: I assumed it was implied.
There is a wolf out there, after all.
Waiting to feast on some poor little bunnies.
me: Well if he/she is a werewolf, wouldn't it be more logical for one to die every month? Although obviously you odn't have enough time for that.
Host: Of course not. My business is very important. I can't be bothered to slow down.
I'll give you one last word of advice.
Sent at 5:12 PM on Sunday
Host: I have searched through past correspondance, and found something that I have deemed to be strange. I decided that you would quickly jump on this, so I kept it out in the open. A pity you didn't. I gave you another clue as well. Hopefully you've picked up on that.
Finally, I repeat, stay away from a man who calls himself 'Save Yourself'. He is not right in the head, and will harm you at his soonest opportunity.
me: Yes, I recieved that memo.
Well, thanks for the.....advice.
Host: I'm hoping you catch up soon enough.
Or I may win after all.
Of course, that's implied, but I do like a challenge.
me: And we intend to bring you one.
Host: I am pleased. Thank you, sir.



So.....save yourself is insane(or else a clue of sorts, considering the host's hesitance).

I have a question about one of your spectators-RabbitWatcher.

His blog says he's basically been trying to solve the killings and help the victims out. But then, he has a comment on your blog saying he looks forward to the conclusion.


Is he a MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) sufferer?

Or just a "waffler"?


RabbitWatcher's going to die.

Any other updates(Other than the obvious ones)?

EDIT: New post. Anybody have an idea as to how they can upload the floor plan?

The post's been edited to include an MS Paint version of the floor plans.

An hour ago, I, and a few other people, got an email from Host Man:
Quote:
Ignore any and all of this person's messages. He is not right in the head; I have had experience with him before.
Do not let him worry you; he will be dealt with eventually.

I did as well. He mentions it in the conversation. And like I said, this is most likely some sort of clue.

EDIT: The host's answer to my inquiry.
Quote:
He will do as he does before; he will simply drive you insane.
He attempted to do so to me, yet I survived with yet more clarity than before.
He speaks in riddles because he does not know how to speak without them.

 		first off i want everyone to download the following tool for firefox if you havent before and play any ARGs https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/770

basically a decoder for commonly used computer based ciphers. I finally got a chance to go through the options and i discovered what the cipher means! here is the downside - pure dumbluck and I don't know how it works but it does I used

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the Type Text Loop option and dont know what it does but it deciphers the cipher to say

I am now controlling your motor skills. Obey my will. Do not try to fight it, embrace the change. Repeat after me.

and each individual segment seperated by spaces deciphers the above, just dont want to type the 10 times or so it shows up


so there you have it if anyone can explain what that cipher by all means do so please

 		Nice job! I just sent it back to him. Let's see what happens.

And so, Rot wasn't the answer.

It was more of a...."don't watch the bottle" sort of thing.

Actually, that's not the answer. If you go into LeetKey's settings, there's a box for "Type Text Loop" which contains that text, regardless of what you do in your browser.

EDIT: Nooo!!!!!

I have deemed this part of our games together irrelevant at this point. If there is an alternate way to solve it, and to get something so strange, then I would prefer not to have you finding other strange solutions.
