Part 3 - Halloween: The Search for Ian

[adelineloh]

hey y'all! haven't posted for long. Anyway, I am STILL stuck at the petpet shop! I mean, from all the hints, I think I know what I'm supposed to do, but for how long do you have to keep it doing it? I mean, should somehting like "appear" instantly, or will it take you hours and hours and hours? Arrgh. I have ZERO patience. HELP!

 

EDIT: Never mind. I found out. adelineloh, you really renewed my hope just when i was baout to give up. now, for the riddle...

 

=) No prob. Keep going. the second part is the fun but challenging part.

 

wait. for the c = e stuff, does it mean that e = c also? and does the entire phrase relate to neopets?

It's decoding, not replacing. Try looking out for a pattern to the alphabets. It is of course related to neopets. This is a TDN plot. ;) Keep going.

[ronnie...]

oh, okay. I'll try.

Hey guys,

 

to join the 'brain-crashing' group... I'm stuck on this evil second puzzle the cryptogram thing... after I got through all the other parts of the Plot now I'm stuck here and can't figure it out! I don't even understand the cryptogram explainings I've found in the Internet... is anyone else still having problems with part 2 of the third plot part?

[ronnie...]

oh, me too! *high5* haha. it's the hardest when you just start... and I haven't got much further.

[Afridelle]

Yeah I'm stuck on the cryptogram too.... and I can't find a recognizable pattern for decoding based on those two hints.... uggggggggg

[pippignomie]

if S=V does that mean that V=S? And the same for C=E?

[gothiclolitaaya]

Confusion everywhere XD! I think I quit the Plot here's the dead point for me, I've tried and tried but can't understand it nor figure it out :(

[ronnie...]

come on... you'll be able to figure it out. the two clues... i'm not exactly sure, but i think it's only one way, the way they say it, and not the other way around. like s = v, but v does not = s.

 

but i'm not sure.

[momoflauralei]

ok....so i am doing what i am supposed to when RS-ing and have been for more than an hour....nothing in the doggone petpet shoppe.....any advise?

[momoflauralei]

woot!!! i finally got it!!! Now hopefully i can figure out the next part!

[Makube_X]

Looks like noone's been able to make it past the second part yet. That gives me more convidence in the answer I came up with :D

[remo]

So is there any update to the cryptogram? I have a message that makes complete sense, but it keeps saying it's wrong. I changed it so words were spelled wrong, and that didn't work either. It's driving me nuts.

[Glorious Gilbil]

I havent given the second part much thought, has anyone figured out the cryptogram yet??

 

 

This board sure is popular :D 12 pages in less than a day !!

[in_the_eyes]

:grrr:

 

i'm stuck on this forsaken cryptogram and just can't figure it out!!

[Samuel]

Guys, dont hate me :D

 

It..messed up a little. Ya see. The clue was wrong. xD

 

C=E. It should be much easier now.

[pippignomie]

i'm confused though... it now say S=U instead of S=V...

 

but there are no S's :S

[Samuel]

Nope, but it sets out the precedent for the pattern.

[Glorious Gilbil]

I figure there was something off with that part

[Awesome_Paul]

yeah lets try the sentence again...

 

nope, does it matter about capital letters, would that make it wrrong or does it work in all non capitals

[Afridelle]

Oh god thank you samuel. NOW I can do the cryptogram

[kavonn]

it's still not working for me... :(

[Glorious Gilbil]

I don't know about the rest of you, but its still not making any sense when i decrpyt it

[Awesome_Paul]

yeah i have the same punctutaion as the clue (the , and !'s ) and teh Capital letter but still incorrect

[kavonn]

samueeeel....

....BRAIIINS!

[momoflauralei]

yeah....one of the words in particular isn't decoding correctly for me and that can ce tough!

 

Or did I mean that it can be tough? either way...i can get it right!

 

Is anyone else having that problem?
