I will give up mine, but can we suspect someone while giving it up?

I assume you mean accuse. Anyway you can, but they you'll lose 2 black marks. Anyway, I can see you are struggling so I'll give you a hint.

The order of the symbols under the full list of letters is irrelivent to what english letters they represent (I put them in random order.)

Also the repeat was a mess up on my part, assume their is only one rather than two.

Ok, i'll volunteer also. THIS IS HARD!

We already got 3 so helmet is doesn't have to give up a blackmark. Anyway, here is half of the key:



Ignore the black spaces (they where symbols I considered using, but decided against).

Black marks have been given to Tyme4aNewDay, awsomeness122, and pjpinc123

This is what I've gotten:
B_EL_
D_GHB
_ _I_I
_EA_ _
_ _ _D_
_ _ _ _ _
J_ _ _E

Almost, but you missed a couple

The username is most likely not the first word, also I think that we should start to try to put in different words for kill because we know it needs to be in the code

[assassinator]

The assassinator notes that both of you didn't decode a line.

[awsomeness122]

Yeah you are right
Revised version

B_EL_
D_GHB
_ _I_I
_EA_ _
_ _ _D_
_ _ _ _ _
L _ _ _ C
J _ _ _ E

[Ryan]

kill is not in the set - assuming a simple cryptograph - K, I, & L have all been given to us, as has D,I, and E: if we decode the all of the letters and there is a random cipher to decode then the assasinator should have given more clues for 3 black marks, so I doubt that we should be looking for the words KILL or DIE

[Ryan]

By replacing all of the spaces with symbols that help to represent how often letters repeat themselves we get:

B1EL%
D!GHB
32I1I
*EA6^
255D6
44932
L787C
J632E

and removing the space between lines we get...

B1EL%D!GHB32I1I*EA6^255D644932L787CJ632E

note that there are lots of 3-2 pairs so 3 and 2 are probably letters that go together often, but 2 can stand alone without a problem. 5 and 4 double up - but they could still be part of different words.

[Ryan]

Oh, I would also like to ask the assasinator if he could provide the rest of the alphabet after the protect has been made or the kill described. plz & ty

Yes, I will post the full answer after the kill is made. Also, I recomend you get in your protects soon, you have 15 hours left as of the time of this post. Here is a countdown clock:

I protect Norwegian because his name fits into the code's second and third column's reading downwards.

B _ E L _
D _ G H B
_ _ I _ I
_ E A W _
_ N N D W
O O _ _ _
L R _ R C
J W _ _ E

[awsomeness122]

I protect helmet because he is a cop and his name has no numbers

[Helmet]

Aw shucks, thanks man!

[Ryan]

Officer's at least make your protect before the deadline - it may be random but with some luck might do some good

Congratulations, you got it!

Here is the full key:


And here is the message decoded:


And finally, here is your next clue:
31.5 32.5 39.5, 98 9 57
30.5 27 37.5, 96 11 52
31 32.5 42.55, 99.4 13.7 55
35 38.5 36.2, 94.6 8.3 54
27 29.5 29.7, 97 8 52.95

Good luck

[Ryan]

Boy you like making this hard don't you assasinator...

[awsomeness122]

good job Tyme4aNewDay

Guys I think for future clues if we get stuck on a clue and it gets desperate we should all protect the other cops to try to keep us alive

[AkeR]

good job tyme, great catch

[AkeR]

ugh
i dont get any of these
theres so many possibilitys, they must be letters somehow but i cant work out if were supposed to use maths, or if the translate to letters of the alphabet, or if its to do with the order or whatever
-.- i suck at these =P
