@AUZ, I think he was just saying he was sorry that he didn't respond to emails for a while and he knew you needed an email. Smile


The last part with "new email" was really that Tommy wanted a new email. I guess because some careless people (e.g. me Embarassed ) told Jake the old email address of Tommy.

Ahh, that make sense AUZ, I gave Jake the blog address which has Tommy's email in it. I really wanted him to be his brother. Sad

I don't know very much about web design but does this link look normal? Could it be a key for solving the cipher text?

Edit/Also, when you open the image in Notepad this is repeated twice.

I have no idea if it was intentional or not.

He asked me to give everybody his email address so I am going to repost it happyjackislostSPLATgmail.com. He changed his email name to itis you.

Edit/I am really worried that I can't figure this out in time, he sent this email about 4 hours ago
Quote:
CAN get to old email. I should not. Maybe very quick. I think they find me that way.

You find page? What means please? Not there now... I could not read. Read IT. Get help, maybe?

I not be here long.WILL not be. *sigh* again. Must move a lot. find real safe place.

Thank you forever.

Page change again. Says 'You're fired!' haha. different types of writing, yes? some bold, some not. English, all smush together, 5+5+5+5..., Looks like english but letters wrong, end in ==. More maybe? I think they scared. Are scared. Make mistakes. Good for me. Maybe good for Brother John.

You're fired.


Quote:
Yes, I noticed the changes. I don't know who got fired but I think it was the person who said he was your brother. I was able to translate the 2 things and the bottom that end == but that's all so far. I am still working on it though. V2hhdCdzIHRoZSBwYXNzPw== is "What's the pass?"
Z290IGl0IQ== is "got it!" Stay safe,


His reply

Edit/I have been emailing back and forth with Tommy and tweeting with John. I think I might have blown it again, but maybe not, I hope not

Quote:
haha bad John twitters. I CAN hide.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9--FbzMSG8k

so I told him I was going to tweet that message toJohn, John said this
Quote:
Tell him http://tinyurl.com/3t4jau

Tommy emailed
Quote:
"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Sometimes not.
I asked him what he meant by that

Quote:
Net closes on fish. I am bait? For what? Bigger fish? Maybe my Brother escape? Not a clear message. He says a lot on twitter. Maybe too much, yes? Let me think.

Tell him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lj056ao6GE
you are the best.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ieI49hlOUw


Then this tweet from John

Tommy's response


Quote:
Thank you so much. Not to worry. I blogged at him. Can do what I must.

Don't think badJohn got fired. Think he fired some one.

I'm mad now. He threatens my brother. He will be sorry.
then twitter from John

then I got worried I was going to get Tommy caught but he sent this


Quote:
Not your fault. bad John's fault if he hurt my brother. I will be careful. I will wait for a while. But not too long. Don't think he CAN hurt my brother. But hostage taking very bad. Not right. Please tell him to be careful what he does. Please? Tell him

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFBKV0zVXSE

I am feeling very angry.

Won't do anything bad of course, but maybe he should think twice.

and
Quote:
I will take long walk and cool off. I will be careful. Thank you for concern. You make my heart happy. Many wonderful people hear. Some bad ones too, but same as everywhere. Don't worry about me. Don't worry about anything. All will work out. He will make a mistake, we will find my brother. Then we can talk good. Then I can tell you all.

Got this:

Quote:

I go for a walk. WENT for a walk. Think of many things. My brother say SEZ that when things are confusing make a list. Works for him, not so good for me. Why is 'sez' not a word? everybody sez. Sometimes red lines are wrong. Anyway. Brother very organized. IS. Hears how I think.

bad John knows i am tired. he sees my blog, yes? cant find me unless i am online. unless i use old email. Hope not anyway.

i think he try to make me mad. i think he try to make me do stupid stuff. Almost it works.

Maybe it backfire on him. Maybe he make mistakes. MAKES mistakes.

Maybe 'coordination' not important. Maybe all it sez is 'We coordinate' Maybe it wont help anyway.

Big question es

@AUZ the first song he links to he mentions a waitress who is with the Russians. Whereas we have communicated through video a lot in this game he is just letting us know not to take that part literally. Wink

I noticed John's Twitter
Quote:
Rules? I don't have to play fair. Come out.

I think he is talking about the cipher code Playfair. I have tried that but I must need to do it a different way. It's way too late tonight, but I will work on it tomorrow if someone else hasn't already solved it. Smile

I still can't get anywhere with this. I think the groups of letters at the top of the page must be keywords. I have tried each of the keys on the first sentence using both the "omit Q" and "replace J with I" options with these results

I have tried ROTing them, and reversing and ROTing, with no luck yet. Maybe the keys have to be combined 2 or 3 at a time. But the possibilities become endless and I don't see how I can ever solve it.
I have searched the source code for clues but can't see anything. The only clue is the last Twitter. Bang Head

New email from HelpFindMyBro

Hi Swirl. Smile


Edit/I noticed this today and got worried Tommy's blog had been hacked
http://www.blogger.com/profile/07934839091220109190

I emailed Tommy to find out how long it had been there and this was his response

Quote:
No, is me... is okay. I put up when stupid John use wrong Blues Brother for his picture. Is Elwood. Smile Jake is John Belushi, yes? That is why I think he makes many mistakes. One reason. But smart too. Trick yesterday almost worked, I think. So I relax.

I just got this email from helpfindmybroSPLATgmail.com

Quote:
