Okay, I didn't understand anything about Blake's posts..  So we have to guess 1-8 letter word and is there some hints what it should be? I'm so confused

[Logain Ablar]

Looks like Blake may have got somewhere. The response header is now:

X-Blake: much_respect

Blake, did you get it?

[MinistroRaven]

You guys are really smart and I am a dumbass, I don't have a clue what you guys are talking about

[Sebastián Pratesi]

By the way, we ask everyone here who wants to help, to post whatever song titles or words in album names:

• are 8 letters at most. (So, no "Erotomania")
• don't start with "A", "C" or "F". (So, no "Awake", "Chosen" or "Forsaken"

We're trying to decrypt a text, and the keyword must have those features. (We may discard other first letters later, but that's all we have for now.)

So, for instance "Home" could be a candidate. It doesn't work, though, so we need others. One of them might be correct.

Thanks!

EDIT: No "B" as first letter either!

I added a form for people to submit input/outputs, but I'm not sure how well it will help to have random submissions. The discussion about the submissions seems more important.

Blake, did you get it?

In the sparrow image or another URL now?

It was on https://37311319.com/, when you submitted the form, the headers on 1.php had that X-Blake header on the response. It's now back to X-Dream-Theater now. I thought you had maybe solved it... 

[russoc4]

HTML/CSS class seems to be relevant, so all of our submissions might be useless without this information. 

[Logain Ablar]

You could be on to something, but I only seem to get "class=2" for any word I try.

[liran95]

Did you guys notice that the DT logo's URL in the site is on the same host as the sparrow image? (159.65.85.240)
I don't know if it means anything, but thought you guys should know

[pg1067]

What do all these hokey characters mean?  I don't even understand what I'm seeing so as to interpret how the characters are changing.  Makes no sense at all to me.

[russoc4]

We do have a couple where the class is 1. There seems to be a pattern in the placement, but it's not clear what that means.

The 1st letter of whatever you input changes every character in the output starting from the 1st. If you input a 2nd letter, it changes every character in the output starting from the 2nd, and so on.

Some of the guys at the Discord are working on some html aspect of the characters. Another way of working through this would be to see what 1st letters in the password give a suitable 1st letter in the output. (That's why I'm thinking "A", "B", "C" and "F" are not appropriate) Then, which 2nd letter gives a suitable pair of 1st/2nd letters in the output, and so on.

Previous passwords have been DT songs, so this new one could be as well.

[liran95]

Ok guys, I've figured out something reallyyyyy cool:

If we're assuming that the '1' class means "correct letter", so we've got this so far (It's partial):

H e ' s _ a _ M o _ d a _    _ o r _ i n _    _ u n _ t i _     _ i s _ _ r _ e _ _ _ _ _ m _ t _ _ _ _ _ o _ t _ _ _ _ _ o _ t _ _ _ _ _ i


Notice anything?


"He's a Monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time..."


I don't know what exactly it means, but it seems we're getting closer!!!

Maybe Solitary Shell is the next password?

Too precise to be a coincidence. Phew, you're smart. And to all those who contribute as well: kuddos to you!

Edit : new Freddy Jacobi tweet : "Does Class matter?" Don't know what to do with it yet.

[russoc4]

We figured it out. 

The password for https://vailrenovations84552723.wordpress.com/1-20/ is OAWTGSAL, the first letter of each track of 6doit (highlight to reveal).

[MinistroRaven]

How you got there?

[russoc4]

The URL is in Jacobi's profile.

For the password, we tried POWER randomly and this is how we found the class=1 feature. Then we tried words similar to POWER, and others, and landed on OWNER, which starts with O and started with class=1 for the first letter (H). From there, we found OA. Then someone somehow figured out the rest. Not sure how. Just an educated guess I believe, based on the source of the quote which were pretty sure of by that point.

[Logain Ablar]

Great work!

[gzarruk]

So, the new letter we just got is an "R", which means the "Hidden by Design" guess is most likely incorrect 

[Yesmaestro]

I've got a headache just reading the posts lol

it was fun while it lasted

Probably not that important right now, but:

• The picture for puzzle #1 goes next to the one from puzzle #4.
• The one from puzzle #3 goes next to the one from puzzle #2. (In that order)
• The second pair of pictures shows the ceiling and cymbals, so that probably goes right at the top in the bigger picture*. It certainly goes to the left of the first pair, and one or 2 lines above it.
• The letters we have so far are 'D', 'R', 'Y' and 'S'. Maybe the letters for the 15 (or 16) pictures form the band's name and album title? (That would mean a very short title, including 'Y' and 'S'. Like 'Yes'!)

What do you guys reckon?





* Could that be relevant to the last puzzle/password? It certainly has 16 letters.

I call it now,
the album title has the word "Syndrome" in it

[MirrorMask]

Bonus track: a cover of Stockholm Syndrome by Muse.






























Again.

[Sebastián Pratesi]

Again.

Haha! 
Or the one by blink-182: https://youtu.be/Y5AH6g0ku9k
(That's actually a pretty cool song! It's on their self-titled album - the closest they ever got to prog.)

I can never get enough of this comparison.

Yikes!

Yikes!

What is it?

I think it was gzarruk's attempt at guessing the name of the new album given your hint "y ans s" and short word.

You know what does have the letters D R, S and Y in it?
