maybe it was to easy because he didn't want M64 to be killed because Incognito is M64. I would make the arrest myself but if wrong I'm gone. If anything else points to M64 imho I will take the chance though :up:.
If a Balrog falls from a bridge and noone is around, does it make a sound?

Rather than posting anything, send PM's to the other cops otherwise you're letting the potential assassin know that you might be on their trail, then you become the next victim.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world.  Those who know binary and those who don't.

still... there is that possibility that the incoginess one, whoever he is, may read that post before you delete it, let's not take that chance (however small it may be).
Time
What know we of this despondent thing
No sign no sound no tranquil ring
We try to tell its quantity
yet fail to see the point
Only one can know of it
to this eternal joint
We have not power in Use
To hold this creature bay
But only wait for it to change
Inside the soul of it we lay

It had been hours since I had crept away from the home of Menace64, the same protection around him as "Mister" Lurtzy had. This time it was Officer NappyKorn's voice I had heard, but made off before anyone noticed me.

Curses!

Foiled again!

Too easy. Too many clues in one. Had it been the reference to The Joker's genius? The subtle hint of Gollum, Menace's long-time portrait? Or the numbers?

Should have left out the numbers.


Oh, did I type them aloud?

YOU! Your doing!

Should have known.

Try and stop this then...

I feel funky. Or perhaps mieldy.

2 days.

Hmm, guess it's not NBarden. Oh well, I tried.

Back to business. Hmmmmmmmm... ??? Idk. Mieldy is not a word, and I don't know anyone who feels funky.

If I had a wild guess I would say protect me, LOL. The YOU! Your Doing! part makes it seem like perhaps he is targeting the person that last 'foiled' his plans maybe. Maybe he feels funky by going after a cop this time as well. If nothing else comes up I will be forced to protect myself :up:.

What the heck is "mieldy"? ???

I won't argue with your reasoning, NK, especially since I have little else to go on yet. But I'm not entirely sure he's referring to you. This Incog seems to argue with himself, or at least some other little voice inside. That's how I have read it so far, at least. Go back and re-read it and maybe you'll see what I mean. It's weird, but seems to be some sort of other personality or something whenever the font changes.

Anyway, the first thing that comes to mind with "funky" is Funkytown and, and "funky" as a term that appears often in music. Heck, "funk" is an entire genre of music.

But again..."mieldy"? Is that like "moldy" or something?
Best regards,
Dáin

Miel is French or Spanish for honey - SM?
Miel is a village in Germany - Olorin85, anyone else from Germany?

I am liking the duality of Incog, very gollumish.  "Curses.  Foiled again." sounds so familiar though...

 Mieldy, Maybe it could be unscrambled?

The officers were gathered at the police station trying to "unscramble" the clues left for them when Officer DainIronfoot suddenly burst in.

"Hey guys! I found this cassette recorder on my doorstep when I stopped by the house for doughnu--um I mean for coff--uhhh I mean for lunch."

The others nodded understandingly as Officer GarrisonOfGondor pushed play.

The quality was somewhat lacking. A rushed and garbled voice, oddly familiar, came out of the speaker.


Listen, I don't have much time. There is more to the clues than just the words as written. You have to take the first...

Another more menacing voice suddenly cut in midsentence, very different from the first yet strikingly similiar in some ways.

Aaaagh be GONE!

Pardon him, dear Officers. I am not sure what he may have told you. I will have to go back and listen for myself.

While I have this opportunity however, I hear you have been having some trouble with my clues, is that right? Problems getting aHEAD, hm?


Chilling, haunting laughter drowned out all other sound for several seconds.

Well I would suggest consulting Mr. David with your...Issues. Or was it Mr. Davis? I always get them confused.

You know what? I may just turn this over without listening to it after all. Where's the fun in knowing everything? For example, if YOU knew everything like Mr. Know-It-All over here seems to think he does then there would be no point in continuing this little game. Having to work your poor little brains a little this time?

Good. Very good. Perhaps you and I are destined to do this forever.

1 day left. Let us play.


Harsh and manic laughter once again rang out and was cut short only by the end of the recording.

The officers could do little more than stare at each other.

"What could it all mean?" Officer Elendil!Urukfear asked.

No one seemed to know.

Yeesh. Well more clues is nice, but I still can't make any sense of it.

If this mystery helper is to be believed, then there's more to "mieldy" and "funky" than meets the eye. "Take the first"...what?

David and Davis could be virtually anything. Heck, a quick Google search shows whole bunch of folks named David Davis. Same person or two different people?

Very odd capitalization on "Issues", too. It's possible it's a mistake, but as careful as this Incog seems to be with their wording, I doubt it.

Lots of new info, but I can't see how it all goes together. There has to be something obvious that ties them all into one neat clue, but I can't figure out what the heck that might be. :-k

Time for some more Googling and web surfing. If it goes into tomorrow...then it's your tax dollars at work! :lol:

EDIT: Oh, and one MORE thing: the capitalization with "aHEAD". I guess "head" is yet another piece of the puzzle? :suspect:
