Is any other agent working on this right now? Would like to collaborate.

 

aye, will jump on IRC, oops seems like I am a day late!

 

if anyone is still working on this, shoot me a PM so I can hop on IRC or trade emails. I'm super stuck on one part =/

plus, collaboration is fun

 

I got thru

Spoiler

Door 1 and Door 3,

but need a hint to unlock the remaining one, after a lot ot head-scratching!
I think

Spoiler

involved cipher method might be PlayFair,

but cannot make anything from the

Spoiler

password numbers.

Anyone to collaborate?

 

Im trying with

Spoiler

doors 2 and 3
i still believe door 2 its playfair, but i dont know what to do with the numbers

too, jump over the IRC or we can discuss here, if you want.

 

You can message me if you'd like.

 

Hey Deidhena,

Spoiler: Hint 1

It's not Playfair.

Spoiler: Hint 2

Google "code name Ramsay".

Spoiler: Hint 3

It's a Nihilist cipher.

 

Thanks a lot for the clues

 

Door 2, what am i doing wrong?

Spoiler: Photo + things used

Used as ciptcher key= many

 

Have you tried using a

Spoiler

decoder online?

 

You are close:

Spoiler

the poliybius square must have letters I and J in the same spot, so that k is in the third row instead of fourth

 

Hello.
I have some problems with door 1. I don't understand what's wrong...

Spoiler

i use an rail fence decoder but the answer doesn't fit. I try the code with space, without space, with different offset, with 3 or 4 rails...

Thanks

 

Spoiler: Clue

Try another web page, dunno why, but it worked for me.

 

Spoiler

strange... i try several web pages , all give me the same answer ...maybe i take the wrong code to decipher ?

Edit : mission done ! thanks all !

 

Spoiler: good decoder

Door 1
Same issue. multiple sites and same answer. Answer doesn't work. Pretty sure i have to do something with it. Can't figure out what though. (I've also googled the answer directly, and that hasn't led to anything useful, unless i'm just looking in the wrong places.)

 

Try entering the answer without spaces and in lower case. My decoder came with auto-caps and Stinger didn't seem to like that.

 

Tried it, didn't work. May just have the wrong answer, But i'm fairly sure i did it correctly. Assuming correct, as answer is coherent language and not alphabet soup. Could be wrong though. Actual answer might also be related to perceived answer, as well. Hasn't led to anything though.

Edit:
Fixed
Durped and forgot to add a "login" to the password line.

 

Just use paper and pen, no spaces, lower case.
