It's been about 11 months since I gave up and last posted in this thread. Are you guys saying that you have solved the puzzle that is TINP?

Crazy: Xaero's prompt is a dead givaway.

Ask me on AIM if you're totally stuck.

Let's see...

The 3-digit codes are the coordinates for the imagemaps (the links around the tree and window).

The {Bad core. Coo! Bearded crab. Bore cad.} text anagrams to 'barcode', repeated four times.

The text in the upper-right corner of the close-up house pic decodes to "Where did he drop his axe Vignere?"

The text in the window of the same pic decodes to "Nyr reproaches to two {bouq?}" (not sure of the last word)

The barcodes themselves, so far, are not supposed to line up. They translate out to several different phrases. Some are from DDD and some aren't... My final decode on them yields the following:
"I was entirely alone in total darkness and it was utterly quiet." (darkroom.jpg)
"Even the darkness of night was different." (summer.jpg, bottom)
"The area had changed Mark" (undevilish%20net.jpg)
"I scarcely talk to the cat anymore." (winter.jpg)
"What was Paige's number?" (summer.jpg, part of top left)
"crownswordscepterm" (summer.jpg, part of top left)
The last two are new references, and I'm not sure if the 'm' at the end of the 'crown' string is supposed to be there. There's one more barcode that I can't read because it's all fuzzied up (the one on the top-right of summer.jpg).

The portrait in the ASCII art is of Blaise Vigenere, and is (likely) from this Wikipedia page {link}.

If nobody remembers, "undevilish net" anagrams to "devil in the sun".

The long strings of gibberish strike me as being Vignere-type codes (check that Wiki link for more info)--we just need to figure out what the key might be.

Here is the cipher key for the text in the window and top right of darkroom.jpg:
CODEZYXWVUTSRQPONMLK9876543210 - enciphered
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ - deciphered

The problem is that part of the window text is "GDJ" and "FJ" which are not part of that cipher, since the numbers were used instead of a to j. Those two words must use a different key. So here is the revised deciphered text so far:
CODEMl6 8vk8lzxsv7
Not reproaches

6I GDJ y1 FJ,

ATTRNBOEEHOPLILOHLNAYDIIAGHDNTUHLWTIAIDHIIAGHDNTUHLODEAN which needs a key to decode it the vigenere way so far as can tell.


add more or correct any mistakes ive made
