plainglazed Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 pretty stuck on the Time of Madness. think it's pretty tough and could use some group think. and the witching hour is fast approaching. so, re Y-san's post above: ...found a code solver but it returned jibberish until i advanced each letter of the keyword by one (s-->t, h-->i, i-->j, etc). had originally set up a spread sheet where each of the nine key letter values were subtracted from 26 and added to the corresponding letters of the ciphertext and had no issues.-- Help -- come get me.

Yoruichi-san Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Strange...I used the first solver listed in the google search (Sharky's) and it works fine. Make sure to select "subtraction" on the left side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 should I be looking at this witches address...v key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoruichi-san Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 "V key" is short for "Vigenere key", i.e. the cipher key you used previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 line length. Paired to make 21 x24 letters , if you include GG's dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainglazed Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 that's where i'm stuck, too. definitely not a coincidence imo. have been trying all sorts of letter and word length comparison matches with keywords, alphabet, text from the Secret Level, etc. the only thing I can think of special about twenty four is hours in a day. also seems maybe of possible importance because of the repeated mentions of time; especially the last three lines of the first poem. still think something's missing. still at it...

Wilson Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Well if you're stuck, then that'll be the rest of us totally *u** d. :-) Think I'll have a look outside the box. why reappear minutes later with slight changes. Is there a message within these six? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plainglazed Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 check out the time stamps in the Phantom thread. cant be a coincidence. but again set up a spread sheet to iterate different combinations with no luck as of yet.
