    Well, Jeep, if you are talking about your previous comment... I've found that the tangential comments are often what is important. We've gotten sidetracked quite a bit with those red herrings before.

    So the stream of conciousness posting often helps...

    That said, we should tabulate all these insights to see what sticks when the Captain can obtain that 'info disk'....

    agreed! I think we need some others to confirm what we have so far with a fresh set of eyes!

    Actually I was talking about the link to the GG song, I removed it to avoid us getting lost on a tangent, I was thinking there might be a link to the lyrics of the trepidoid song...

    That said I am baffled at how quick you guys come up with your clues...
    I tried the music but it doesn't sound like much (Usually the case when I'm behind the piano)

    Well:

    we listed the letters that were missing from the Captains post:
    t a c n e i a a a i e a i o o e i y a a a g y c p y e o s s e t r m a e
    Can you verify if the above list is indeed correct?

    This is a list of numbers representing which letter was missing from the word:
    3 2 5 3 4 3 2 4 2 3 3 3 7 2 2 2 2 3 2 2 4 5 5 6 2 3 2 3 3 3 4 3 3 3 4

    This is a list of the numbers converted to the alphabet we though this might have been music, but being played forward and back yielded nothing:
    C B E C D C B D B C C C G B B B B C B B D E E F B C B C C C D C C C D

    Am I missing anything?

    GreenLight, if you are starting the missing letter count from the post title, you may be missing an 'e' after the first 't'.

    Then that would change the other stuff.

    To the people rejoining - we are attempting to check if there is a hidden message in the post from the Captain that had missing letters.

    It could be a red herring, but until something shows up at

    ***Link removed per Stykman request***

    this is all we have.

    Edit: Agreed Stykman, just edit your post and we are good....

    Maybe the letters are a certain number off the letters they should be? For example, gsj is 3 away from dog, and ecv is 2 away from cat. ... the thing that bothers me is the letters that repeat thrice.

    Maybe he just wanted to make the transmission look garbled for no reason, and we're sitting here trying to make something out of his post =P

    I've given up on these, I'm too lazy to attempt to find the answer. I'll just buy the game when it's out.

    Off topic, GreenLight, you wanna send me a test sample of that garlic parmesan? ;)

    So what does that sound like when played on a piano? I'm not even vaguely musical so don't have a clue - but it's worth a try!
