Ahhh I can't leave you guys for a day! No I'm not solving this again. People already expect me to come here and solve everything, when they're perfectly capable of it, or at least some of them are.

I wonder how come none of the londonfiles players care to even peek at this side of the street, as this video seems to be addressing that story quite a bit. Sparky, you solved that previous deep throat cipher. This is probably the same. What's wrong? What are you getting?

Forgive my grumpiness. I just found out all the summary threads that we've been working so hard to keep updated have been deleted, not even to the rubbish bin, just plain deleted, poof, all of our work gone, and replaced a hard to read monstrous copy combining the first post only. The replies, I remember some really good research by sparky, deleted, discarded, gone. I don't see the need for this to have happened like this, without anyone even attempting to PM me and ask me what was wrong with the threads before. So, sorry for the rant and this pissy post, I hope I get over all this crap. Right now I need to go eat and then probably have a drink, or two.

Yeah, that wasn't a very nice thing to do. Is she mad at W-O-W for some reason?
The threads were in the right section, well organized and they were G-rated. I don't understand why she would do that other than just blatant sabotage.

Why haven't LF players peeked at this? Because they don't know how good this stuff is. londfiles are great videos and puzzles, but this is something...I dunno. It's very rich. very well thought out and the puzzles, as far as I know, are quite unique.

However, this last puzzle has got me beat. Sorry you're too grumpy to help us out deagol.

oh no! and no Deagol , you shouldn't leave us ...especially for a whole day!
I don't think I have ever come across an "out-of-sorts' Deagol!
My goodness.

I better figure this puzzle out quick.
But I seem to be missing something. But don't help us Deagol- go have a cookie, or a nap, or whatever helps relieve your stress.

The only solvable thing seems to be gcker or grass-gcker, right?

the tags point out a vigenere cipher (1596 when vigenere dies of throat cancer)
in the original text gcker is green.

I was trying , as Henry was also (I think) , to come up with a key that would turn gcker into green. no solution.
So I've been trying other possible keys (way too many to list - other tags, character names- words repeated in video...on and on) to see if gcker translates into something I can make sense of...even a tinyurl- a new youtube user-
I'm still thinking about it...
going to cycling class now, and I will take out my frustrations there!

I am watching. And for some reason, I prefer LondonFiles. Less rhymes, more action in the vids. I don't know, just a preference I guess.

Clue wise, "grass-gcker turf" is not much to sink your teeth into. Too many ways to decode gcker. Without interaction with the pm, I feel lost.

Also, how can a 5 character clue put any influence on the story line?
Even tinyURL needs 6 characters afaik

I too am sorry for your dumped replies

From now on, I will only post info in puzzle threads. Hopefully they will stay safe.

Well I know for a fact that there's always a key that would decode any string of letters into any other string of letters. I believe this is exactly what you did when you turned "tslm so and so" into "vertumnalia".

BTW I'm having a beer. It's too early for a scotch.

Ladies, gentlemen,
I would be very grateful if you decoded this.
Thank you very much.

In case anyone missed it.

Kris Lamont Cogan ^^^^^

Is the main person from LondonFiles

I think the LF-ers may want to take a look at this !

I am going to be late for my class...but ..
using vigenere
apu aw turns gcker into green

apu aw anagrams to A aw up

as a tinyurl it leads to a map with directions

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=li&daddr= ... Ewtown,+CT

is this making sense to anyone?

edited to add that 63 S. Main is The taunton press= publishers

Are you trying to encrypt gcker into green? I would think gcker needs to be decrypted.

I've now moved on to the scotch, as it's past 6 pm.

I know..i know
but that wasn't working for me
and I figured in an oddball way
we wanted to change gcker into green to make the text from ophelia's song complete
i really can't explain my reverse reasoning Deagol ....

Oh no, it's just one drink... or two.

HenrySugar · Post by **HenrySugar** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 5:21 pm

In my experience, one isn't enough.
Two is too many,
and three isn't enough.

What is four?

alright i know the 1st and 4th letters have to be a (the g in gcker remains as a g in green, same with the e in the 4th letter). the rest i'm too distracted to figure out right now... ok the 5th letter should make n into r, letsee...
n o p q r
a b c d e

e, so a**ae

this is exactly the same as the previous vigenere (you can find that somewhere in the puzzles thread, if you're willing to scour for it). im too distracted to even go play with the vigenere tool and im off to play dominoes for the night.
