[META] lack of players

Well, you never know when a late joiner and lurker will crop up with a stunning observation that solves all the outstanding puzzles. Sadly, I fit most but not all of that description. The only observation I bring to the table is that the "onomatopoeic" solve for the tweet doesn't quite work - it's krjhojkmknip. Not that I think this makes any difference, it seems to just be a pointer to the alphabet uasge in the profile pic's name rather than a puzzle in and of itself.

Hello PuzzledPineapple! The more the merrier as always!

Sorry, tying my own tongue in knots. My guess is that onomatopoeic is nothing to do with it, and I would go further and make a bigger guess that the only meaning behind the letters is to point to the vaguely similar codetalkers way of defining an alphabet. But as you say anything goes right now, hence throwing it open to everyone else.

Excuse me while I go and stare at scrolling, pulsing morse code some more.

We're having the same discussion over on Serial Huntress' forums.

Personally, I don't think the letters translate to Onomatopoeic. There's just too many things that look wrong with it. (ie: "j" would have to equal "o" in one place, and "t" in another. "i" would substitute for itself.) Plus the substitution alphabet used to translate that is pretty random. I can't imagine that the PM's expected us to just guess that (with some letters subbing, some not, and a misspelling) without any sort of key. It just doesn't feel like a solid solve to me.

That said, even if they DO translate to Onomatopoeic, I don't think that has anything to do with the Navajo Code Talkers Translation. The navajo code talkers used Navajo words as letters. They're not onomatopoeic - the Navajo words don't sound like the letters they represent. They were just paired up using pre-existing Navajo words.

Onomatopoeic words are words that represent a sound like "bang" or "meow"

I just don't see the two relating.

Just my 2 cents - not saying I'm right and that anyone else is wrong. I totally think ALL avenues are still as valid as any and worth exploring.

We also have "I am the key" on SemperF8's profile that might mean something. maybe the letters don't translate and they are a key or password to something else?

Lastly, I also noticed that the letters (KRJHOJKMKNIP) are all lumped together in the alphabet. It's pretty much all of the letters H-R except "L" and "Q" - and nothing outside of that range. I find it odd that they are so lumped together...

New briefing video is up. Also, Showtime is finally telling everybody there is a Dexter ARG on Facebook, though you'd have to know what ARG stands and dig further to get into it.

Is the Serial Huntress site crashing for you guys? Or is it just my internet?

[MICHAELSD]

Fine for me. Would be cool to go down that storyline with Dee not knowing exactly what happened and we figure it out.

This is what I have so far, there's the infinity sign is on a bullet casing. We are looking for the brother of the victim, who's homeless in and out of housing centers. Police can't find him, neighbor of Colonel mentions Rebecca Gladow.

If we're following the substitution cipher idea, it could be a case of substitution + jumbling of letters... Given that the red-highlighted word in morse code is DYNAMITE (---> interesting to note that Dynamite consists of 8 letters - furthering the other "rel8ed" clues hehe), this could be the word used for the substitution, giving us the following codex:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
DYNAMITEBCFGHJKLOPQRSUVWXZ

...which then gives us the letters of:
KRJ HOJKMK NIP
OTN MQNOEO CFR

Regarding the letters, it seems odd that they are formatted like this:
KiloRomeoJuliet HotelOscarJulietKiloMikeKilo NovemberIndiaPapa

So this could mean unscramble the letters to get three words? Honestly though, the 'Q' I get throws me off any meaningful unjumbling

Honestly, first thing I thought of was a Haiku - maybe the letters are all acronyms for a saying (well known or not) in Haiku format...

KRJ
HOJKMK
NIP

Nice catch and source code confirms it's IG.

[angelnorelation]

Ahhh, I didn't catch it. I think like three of us figured out what it said at the same time and amandel found the website.

This reminds me, from now on, I am going to just start typing it in as a URL whenever I find a clue, because that's the second time this week it has been an obvious URL when I spent way too long googling it.
