Only four words I could find, all not good in the rest of the text:

oöcyt
oozes
oomph
oonts

That's why I think it's a polyaphabetic cypher or another complicated cypher.

Certain Welsh names begin with a double 'L'. If this is the name of a person or place, it could be Welsh.
Probably not though, and I've only just woken up and have yet to have my breakfast flagon of 'Best Pixyland'.

Very interesting, amantine! Thanks!

well if clues are going come encrypted in binary codes, that will rule out quite a few us including me in this...

come gollum...we shall seek the other ring

WW, this is why you form teams, such as mine, Tauboy, elevated, etc.

That way, a variety of talents come into play...as well as general evil.

DE

*scratches head* errrr....where was i when teams were made? lol

Form your own...it's all about initiative. four-member teams seem to be the style, nowadays.

DE

1+1+1+1=1

I have a feeling we won't really get anywhere with this hunt until 5/2004.

The number "7" has appeared at the bottom of the page :S interesting

next clue;

There are Roman numerals with duplicate beginning letters. Also, "llama" and the proper name "Aaron."

So whats the point? All we have to do is decipher the code assuming it isnt just random garbage meant to confuse us.

I hope i can figure out the code if that its real.

why are we assuming that the code is written forwards it could be reversed. the first word could be the last word ending in ll or whatever.

Do you all realize exactly how nuts you are? You don't even know what this is yet, but you assume you have to make your own teams of 4 people, you assume you have some crazy difficult code to decipher...well, you know what they say about people who assume.

I'm sure the mods are home laughing their asses off at all of you right now. IMO.

I'm sure lots of people are thinking this, but just haven't had the ehart to say it to you. Wait until next month...these probably aren't clues at all.

[Edited on 7-4-2004 by Lukefj]

Well I would agree with you but I think the binary code is a little to iffy. I do think that the mods are playing along with this though. -Muzz

Also I think that this might be a clue:

Deny ignorance. The motto of AboveTopSecret.com is simple yet inspires a complex range of emotion and aspiration. Are you simply one who follows along? Perhaps you enjoy participating in the effort. But maybe, just maybe you have the desire to push the battle cry forward, and be a captain of enlightenment.

This hunt is for you.

It's at the bottom of the page, this is kinda creepy. lol -Muzz

very nuts.
so anyone want to start a team with me?

I always like solving puzzles like this. Usually things like this turn out very exciting, especially if you discover something new. This may all be a joke, but it will be fun to try and solve it anyway.
