A new update on the blog with more information on the current status of the war.

Also i noticed I have earnt 10 points, guess that was from emailing empire control to offer my assistance.

Our first puzzle in the form of a password encrypted post on the blog. I have tried a number of answers but with little luck so far.

The title is "DreamWalker's Report in Dreamlands (Dragons) � The Happy Eaters of La'Depoer (4,4)"

I believe based on the old story that this is related to

Twitter also backs up that i was in the direction and based on the amount of passwords i have tried (everyone three times, one with no space, one with a space and one with a comma), plus the fact i have the book in front of me, you would think I'd have got it by now Rolling Eyes

Yups not the most appropriate name but unfortunately it was prevalent as borne out in one of Agatha Christies books.

anyway, back on topic lol

A number of updates:

A thought has just occurred to me. Now I missed out all the previous chapters except for the first, but looking at the older C files, the "clue" to the password traditionally was the bit in brackets. In this case, that would be "Dragons". Of course that seems less of a clue than the lovecraft reference, but maybe it's an additional clue?

Edit: looks like the PM's just updated it Wink

Someone is listening to you =)

The brackets now surround the second part of the sentence!

Since we are struggling on this one I have used Minions addiction to try and get us some leverage on the password.

Im so confused, just as soon as im sure its lovecraft related, im thrown a clue of what an irish baron would eat.....Potatoes Razz

Right at the beginning when this password was first released i found that one of the real life "La Poer's" was linked to Melton and for a moment thought the answer might be "pork pies" lol
