two months into ARG's and this could be my first solve:

Using "anomaly matrix" as key you generate "it was a decoy"

So what pictures were they talking about and how did you get "anomaly matrix?"

Sorry it was the last hour of an 18 hour shift so it wasnt the most elegant solve, and it still may be wrong. I dont quite understand the reference of three words still, and am guessing the three pictures are the one before the v and after and the matrix? but here it is.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Although it was a guess from zeldafan, he had gathered saviour and matrix from the three pictures. So i tried using this as the vignere key. Which gave "qg pee r kecoy". (It was only through sheer luck that saviour and anomaly have the same number of letters.) The only word i could think of ending -ecoy was decoy and so i worked back from there. That created anomaly as the first key but am still working out that ties in with the picture.
Again, it was late and my brain had stopped working so I hold my hands up if im completely wrong.

I GET IT!!!
An = in a line of - is an anomaly! Makes perfect sense!

Does that mean im not mad? But what does the "three words that make up the key to this Vignere" mean?

Possibly nothing at all, but the spelling is wrong again:

Oh, and your key needs to have the space removed:

ANOMALYMATRIX
OK, enough proof reading for me.......

After once a day updates, a three day pause is kinda odd.
Whats going on? is there a reason in the story that Ashio isn't writing, or is the PM waiting for a more satisfying solve?
If so, you *could* give us a hint.

which is my meaningless code for
"quack"

so, it was a decoy fits and makes sense, and is the only thing we have come up with
but now what?

Yes we could really do with a gentle prod in the right direction if we are missing something glaringly obvious!

I'm fairly new to this ARG so correct me if I'm wrong; didn't Ashio say that at some point he would have to shut the blog down by request of the agents?

Yes but Sarah received this also:
"Give this email to your peers- the blog is going down soon and I am
looking into other forms of communication."
So far nothing else has been heard....
