Hi, new here!
I got a similar message when I decrypted it. I think I figured out a little bit of it. I used a mix of German and Swedish for the translation in Google Translate.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is what I got from the note:
"What ist en beginning was är an ende

edlu späher
venator
bullator
inquisitor

Am ende sehen wir, vid början vakar vi and in thu middle we conceal you.

beginn

wandering hermit

seu us"

The only part I could make semi understandable was the long sentence, which says something like:
"At the end we see, at the beginning we watch and in the middle we conceal you."


Though that still doesn't really make sense. He also posted two more encrypted blog posts.


First one says "how many times do we have to tell you, stop searching" in a couple of different languages.

Also, specterseymore, could you break down the code into 3 or 4 lines to get the board back to it's original state?


I tried breaking down the code, it didn't change anything. I too hope it isn't a game jack.

Also, the code within the video seems to mean something like "birchbark letters", whatever that means.

Finally, I'm sure there's something weird hidden in his last blog post. Look at the way he starts new lines for no reason, the capitalized O in something, the strange P.s. at the bottom. Unfortunately I won't be able to look at it til later. Damn classes of mine.

Whats the original language/words for "birchbark letters"? Before you decrypted it, I mean?

bmVuZXJiZXJ2, which translates to nenerberv. That's moderately close to näverbrev, Swedish for birchbark letters. I know it's a stretch, but it's all I've got. None of these codes ever seem to come out perfectly, unless there's further decoding we aren't doing.

Also, regarding his recent activity. Lisa removed, P.s. finished, but the weird cutoffs are preserved. He does that cutoff thing in one of his comments as well.

In his more recent post, the capitals spell "OMEGA". Clearly a trend here. And the cd says something like "For you", "other" or "old", and I can't translate van. Perhaps it means "one"?

My theory is that he personally was neck deep in whatever this is, and lost his memory, though it's subconsciously punching through here and there, resulting in codes even within his own posts. As to why he was coughing so much idk.

 		A new movie is up... img 034

EDIT:

The blog is updated now.. the "Omega" capitals have disappeared, and the gibberish is now normal text..

a new post is up with some more pictures..

 		Hm? Omega capitals are still there. Guess I should be clearer about this stuff, I was referring to the post "Am I in trouble now".

Edit: Dude totally ignored me when I asked about Lisa. I feel like somehow his memories are being deliberately repressed.

2x Edit: Or not.

When I first saw the decoded message that was left in the comments, it seemed like gibberish and nonsensical at first. I thought it was one of those ciphers were you had to read it out loud but it didn't make any sense either. This was frustrating, but the I noticed something and it hit me like a punch to the face. The words were spelled correctly but written backwards!

I felt stupid for not seeing this before.

It said: uns med not dich vill we. I am currently trying to translate it so it makes more sense grammatically. Also for the record I do not know anyone named Lisa. It was a typo.


I'm pretty sure "uns med not dich vill we" means "us with not you want we", and with the current backwards trend it reads "We want you not with us", which I guess is right in line with "stop searching".

 		I don't know if it was already obvious, but the CD says "For you from old friend." Vän means friend.
I was wondering if the "TSHTF!" means anything in "Am I in trouble now?" post. Tried to decode it, but didn't get anything useful.

 		Uhm, "found something" is not a great name for a game. If you want to give it a proper name, a moderator can edit the thread title.
That might help draw more players.

Just saying....

Changed the thread title to a suggestion sent to me via private message.

 		Another new post. Interesting, but doesn't seem to provide anything to do.

Something interesting though: He recently favorited a video about Tribe Twelve and Marble Hornets on Youtube. So, perhaps this really is linked to Tribe Twelve or something?

 		Disregard me, he refuted the Tribe Twelve thing. Lol forgot what account he was on.
In other Youtube news, two new videos are up. Can anyone tell what he's saying in "The attack"? My headphones are lame and the volume won't go up enough for me to tell.
