moinen, I just got the same programmatically, whee. Smiley

decided to come back to morse when I was looking at the dots from top to bottom... my concerns about there not being proper delimiters went away at that point. it was pretty easy to quickly figure out which was a dot and which was a dash because there were some early incorrect characters if we did it the other way 'round.

Code:
TALE
HACK
EVIL
YOKE
CODE
ACT
NEST
NO
ON
TIME
APEX
TILT
TRICK
ACE
CATCH
KEY
WISH
HASH
AIM
TECH
TO
HIT
ECHO
YOUTH
DASH
ONE
NET
OATH
TIP
SET
ETHER
END
STOP
WORDS

I dont know, but these stood out. I might have some more time tonight. Did you try to cesar shift this? Might reveal more words.



Nope didn't yet. Have you? Got anything useful, that ends with a .htm(l) or .onion?  Grin


Nope cant get to a proper machine atm. But there are online cesarshifts.

Morse Code suggestions looks like a good lead.
If I think of anything else I'll come back to post later.

Is this puzzle for real or just troll?

It's a lot of fun, whatever it is.

Nope..
pretty sure at this point you are just chasing rabbits Wink

Probably girl, but  will keep at this.

That being said, I accidentally stumbled upon that, which is a female artist that apparently went down the rabbithole.

And if you follow....

EDIT: Also, that is probably completely irrelevant, the site I mean.

Now, did anybody manage to decipher anything out of the morse code?

Just a reminder this is out there for translating and manipulating Morse... http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/morse.php  rumkin has many many other useful tools for these types of puzzles as well. Smiley

If you ignore the guys in the picture and loop the morse around, from top to bottom, left to right, you get

I have made that suggestion before but since my morse code ain't that good I stopped at: c t h u l t (.) t k e t s e C e t s o

Which parts are you using?

http://www.onlineconversion.com/morse_code.htm

This: http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/Morse.html

And this: http://www.scoutnet.nl/~inter/morse/morseform.html

The problem is that some dots > 8 and can't be recognized.....

I am sure that the 1sos address is trying to tell us something though......

EDIT: Sorry I didn't get your original question.
I am using the dots.

Tried both green = - Red = .  and vice versa
this is where i'm at now:
r=. g=-
- .- .-.. . .... .- -.-. -.- . ...- .. .-.. -.-- --- -.- . .-. --- -.. . .- -.-. - -. . ... - -. --- --- -. - .. -- . .- .--. . -..- - .. .-.. - - .-. .. -.- . -.- .- -.-. . - .-. .- - -.-. ... . -.- . -.-- .-- .. ... ... .... .- ... .... .- .. -- - . -.-. . ... - -- - .... .. - . -.-. .... --- -.-- --- ..- - .. .. -.. . - ... .. .. --- - . . -. . - --- . - - .... - .. .--. ... . - . - .... . .-. . -. - .. ... - --- .--. . -- --- .-. -.. ... - .-.. .-- --. ---. -. -.-- .- . ..-. -.. -- .... - .... -- . - -. -.-- - .-- - . .-- - .--. ---. -.- . ..- . .- .-.. . -. . -.. .-.. .- .--

the first part "tale hack evil yoke rode act nest noon time apex tilt" looks promising, but then the code breaks down after the tiles start hiding behind the people, which makes me think that the dots on the hidden tiles need to be guessed. though, you can still pick out some words from the remainder of text, like "... key ... hash ... tech ... you ... teen ... toe ... tips ... stop "

edit: forgot to mention that i got this by reading the dots downwards (took the hint from the countdown)

Good work! Morse code looks promising, in light of the SOS and rEDGrN clues in the transactions. The transaction amounts are countdowns, yes. How about trying this again but read the dots upwards from the bottom (especially since her clues the other night were a countdown from 23 -> 1, 23rd line to 1st).  Does that lead anywhere?
