Ha ha, yeah, that's why I thought of it. After all, I ran that damned page...

It seems Grace thinks that effed base64 message needs to be decoded?

So needy TT-TT

Edit: That stretched the page. But, yeah, I can't find a single usable translation of that mess.

the white one
just a thought

ok so I'm sure you all noticed that the white one/zero posted on Grace's blog saying they have had trouble with the masked people as well and I'm sure most of you did what i did and checked out that persons blog http://yourneveraloneat.blogspot.com/ it gets pretty creepy and the spelling is off but maybe the misspellings are on purpose and has something to do with that very long anonymous message?

I have a very hard time reading his comments. Until Grace acknowledges him, I don't think he's part of this, nor the key to this riddle. You can work that angle though, if you can find a way to make it work.

CHILDREN'S SHOW ANIMATOR DIES AT 54
Italian children's shown animator Ruggiero Magro was found dead at his home on January 8th, 2009. Magro was famous in his home country of Italy for writing and animating the children's show "Il Ballo di Fortuna", or "The Dance of Fortune". The children's show was about Arlecchino and Colombina, a couple of Punch and Judy operators who lived in the town of Carnival. Similar to later shows like "Latibaer" and "Kerzebucht", "Il Ballo di Fortuna" was a surreal children's comedy that was later imported to the United States. Unfortunately, the US version of the show saw almost no episodes aired, as executives stated that Magro's scripts and subject matter too "dark" for its audience of children. There have been persistence rumors that three episodes of the US version of "The Dance of Fortune" were made, but none were ever released by the studio or Magro himself. Magro is survived by his daughter.

Dance of Fortune sounds like a Mummer's Farce, who, by the way, isn't the Jester. Maybe it's this guy's daughter?

Just happened to be tweeting then & answered that the king's name was "Dionysius II of Syracuse". So Derek gets a water filter.

Another Anonymous post, seems to reference Buffy.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer likes this one.
◦One episode has a minion tell Spike the possible name of a ritual, which Spike attempts to translate. He comes up with "Debase the beef canoe", and then instantly adds, "Why do I think that is not right?" and punches the hapless translator. (Subverted: it turns out to be a cyphertext.)

debasing the beef canoe
coincidence???

just had an idea to check blogspot for debasing the canoe and its actually a blog.... another really weird blog http://debasethebeefcanoe.blogspot.com/2011/02/broken.html#comments i read the first weird blog at the top and then looked at the comments they're written by punch and judy and anonymous... who said "He's been caught by the HARLEQUIN now. He's entangled in her strings"
could be completely unrelated but its still weird and creepy and the Harlequin kinda sounds like the puppet empress maybe? or just a coincidence since the blog was posted a while back

I thought that sounded familiar. This is somewhere else... came up in another thread or blog.

Edit, because I can.

Looks like he enjoyed my joke. These rings are new, hope it doesn't kill him :(

Any excuse to say: Props on realizing that it was base32. Use that same glitchy converter & find it works best when the msg is first put in notebook then clip & paste.

Yaha, do know how weird the above sounds Laughing , <3 Buffy 'tho don't get Anons' cryptic clue meaning & Sola Gratia updated. Also Hello star-shine, Welcome to uF.

Not important but note that Grace wrote " also I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico" in the Labels of the new post.

And Derek posted, his left ring finger was cut off. I feel pretty terrible about that :( Really really sad. I also expect Grace to find it when she get back from the observatory.
