 		Enaxor: Snap! I see it now. Will try using it in a (very Rolling Eyes ) short reply back ("Yes, think so") and am saving that code.

 		We indeed missed something:

There are hidden messages in the files (white text on white background)

The messages are HEX/ASCII and than rotated (Caesar)

 		Hmm, all the time we were guessing at the UN and PW for http://www.newlupineinstitute.org/secure/user/~morgan/files/.Trash/, it was in front of us the whole time. If you view source at ThePathYouWillTake, you'll see "help.jpg", which leads here. The runes translate to: 90 78 73 58 112 116 115 110 108 44 87 68 75 58 115 114 122 107 115, which is decimal and reads ZNI:ptsnl,WDK:srzks, ZNI:ptsnl rot -21=UID:konig WDK:srzks rot -19=PWD:lksdl.

I found this by looking for what ruawerewolf thinks we've overlooked.

 		To be perfectly "clear", feeling transparently usleless atm and had used some tools on the .pdf files. So, AUZ, a PM or post on what you used would "enlighten" my dilemma and......

having read the files so many times today I'd begun asking myself some of those same hidden questions. Good find, AUZ.

It took me also some time to find the solution (same message hiding was used in "The Ennead"). If you use acrobat you can change the background color and the text color. Since I have a German version I am not sure what exactly is the english menu text:
Edit --> Preferences
Select "Output"
Now you can use user-defined colors for background and text. But be careful if you just change the text color be sure to have not ticked "Only change black text".

Attached a screenshot of the document (all text in black, background also changed - just to be sure):

 		After you open the October 10, 2007 pdf news release, check the comments for that document. You'll find a message in hex from Tannhauser. Convert into letters and rot -13...

Tannhauser wrote:
Read between the lines


It appears the message was added to the document on June 4, at 12:48pm. He was pointing the way to the hidden messages AUZ discovered. Tannhauser is also a name connected with the Teutonic Order.

 		Having now followed AUZ's instructions (with a pink background Very Happy) it's even more "clear" what a massive job he did and my thanks for that and the new skill are both obvious now.

 		I have protected tweets and ruawerewolf can't read them, so could someone please ask him if he is AKA Tannhauser? Thanks. Very Happy

 		RUaWerewolf has a new tweet for TSO_EYESPY...

And the mainwebsite has been updated with a video. The video has more Monk Runes to decipher.

 		I don't know what the tweet says, but I know part of the video message, I still need to work on the rest. So far it says

Quote:
Richie doesn't know. Trust no one they are not what they seem.

I'll edit as I get more of it deciphered.

eta* Tthe rest of the message. Since it leads to a website, I'm spoilering the rest of the solve.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
teutonicrichard.blogspot.com http://teutonicrichard.blogspot.com
I added the url address and made it clickable for those with iphones.

eta* The runes were solved using the previous solve, converting the decimal to letters and then rotting the letters.

 		Is Teutonic Richard (Richard Salsa) from behind the curtain? For me it seems like he is a real person who now is part of the game. What do you think?

If he is not behind the curtain we should link him to this this forum, so that at least this poor guy understands the mail he got.

 		Mentioning that it's likely Richard Salsa is the R.S. file #837 from the "fpnagvs.TMP" file we d/led as an excuse to thank Enaxor for the deciphering job. His recollection does vary a bit though. Found his term paper an unusual choice.

ETA:AUZ, am unaware of an email address, can't make out what's behind NL I and Richard's avatar is another Teutonic Knights tie in.

 		So we asume him IG at the moment. But why does RUaWerwolf call himself Richie?

Decode the last message from RUaWerewolf:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Hex to Dec: 41 33 11 44 42 15 12 23 21 15 24 43 22 23 52 13 12 24 14 24 15 13 45 15 14 45 35 21 31 51 22 21 31 14 22 23 35 34 32 54 55 23 51 14 22

Using the know 5x5 decoding:
qnatrebhfeisghwcbidiecuedupflvgfldghpomyzhvdg

Several Rotations again:
Rot 13: dangerous
Rot12: question
Rot11: to
Rot 10: someone
Rot 9: you
Rot 8: dont
Rot 7: know
Rot 6: use
Rot 5: email


do we have an email address from RUaWerewolf?
