Whois?

[Rhekatou]

I'm betting an IP trace would be in order...
or did we already do one?

[DarkN]

I think we might have (check Suki's post on the first page) but I'm not a computer guy so I could be horribly mistaken.

What was that about?

Maybe Rhekatou's secretly in on it.

Is anyone else getting errors like:
"Message (length 28) truncated. [stupidly large number] characters expected."

Yes.

WQCDB-JVJEE-SGXNU-ZTFLE-AZTEJ-YGWCZ-MFCJS-RKSCT-PPWYW-MTXVI-JUZIV-CJOVR

That's also not the key. But what is it?

Yes.
But I think I know.

Have you guys tried replacing the spaces with dashes? then seraching?

Where's the bit that says the thing about the eight?

And the whoam thing, I think he just randomly mixes up words. Like the thing on the blog with "Whoiswhoisiamiamwhoisiamisamwhoiisamiwhoamiwhoami" is probably just a bit of random.

What spaces?

Where's the bit that says the thing about the eight?

His blog. Click on post comment and then look at the address bar.

Judging from the above post, the two quotes were bad information, and if we get the key, we'll solve the puzzle. Maybe.

Interesting addition to the photobucket. The picture is interesting to say the least. An 8 is prominent in the picture, which is titled AMNOT, leading me to believe that the EnigmA is not eight people. The intriguing part of the picture is the weird symbol in the bottom left corner. I tried to figure out what it was but could not.

Think you know what?


Plus, I'm confused about the new picture too. I can't quite see what it is, but if you look it is in the shadow of the 8 picture, so I assume that's what the clue was about.

[Pikman]

EnigmA is OneSevenNine.

[DarkN]

Mind telling us how you came to this conclusion?

[ChaoStar]

EnigmA is OneSevenNine.

OneSevenNine and Cereberus?

Maybe. It's always the butler.

[fawk]

LOL

I worked out what that little symbol at the bottom of the '8' picture is. It's a fish. Or, to be more precise, a herring. Anyone?

[ChaoStar]

A herring. Hmmm.

[fawk]

Of the red variety?

[ChaoStar]

Of the red variety?

Yes, yes, but what does it mean?! Or is it the key to the cypher?

redherring?

[fawk]

Chaostar, try Wiki'ing the words red herring.

[DarkN]

Hmm, I could see that. So the pic's a red herring... or something else is.

[ChaoStar]

The picture is a lie.

A red herring is an idiom referring to a device which intends to divert the audience from the truth or an item of significance.[1] For example, in mystery fiction, an innocent party may be purposefully cast as highly suspect through emphasis or descriptive techniques; attention is drawn away from the true guilty party. While there is no such fish as a "red herring", the term red herring refers to preserved herring. The smoking and brining process gave the fish a distinct reddish-brown colour as well as a strong odour.

Clever, EnigmA.

[DarkN]

That's what I said.

[ChaoStar]

That's what I said.

Define it better. =P

So, we're back to base one.

[bufar]

Speaking of Red Herrings, I have another lead that's probably irrelevant.
The Wikipedia page for Red Herring was updated since the start of this puzzle. One edit adds a link to another article, Ten Little Indians, that is entirely unrelated. The IP address that makes this edit has only made this one edit. Maybe there are some clues buried in these pages.
