No, we didn't, that was before sassy said to use Wolframalpha for IP stuff

I thought we got Missouri because the zip code for Lebanon, Missouri is 65536 (2^16). Maybe my memory is just failing me right now and I'm thinking of something different...

So my memory wasn't failing me this time...

The sigs are ID, I think.

If it's a zip, the location is Lebanon, Missouri.

I think we should at least try protecting someone from MO, since we don't know if the ip addresses or the pastebin is the kill clue (the ip addresses were a part of the sassy's sig, right? Don't you think the sig might be about id?). I feel like the 2^16 is important, and we've ignored it for the most part. Someone might want to protect Jaspattack, just in case. (better safe than sorry)

I protect jaspattack for Booknerd's reasoning above and because we don't have many leads. I will change it if requested.

The signature is probably about killer ID more than anything else. I think the posts are kill clues, and since I'm the closest one to Lebanon it's probably a safe assumption to protect me.

A fun fact about Lebanon: it's pronounced leh-buh-nen (rhymes with "men"), not leh-buh-naan (like the country). A lot of places in Missouri are just butchered pronunciations of other languages.

The Portland one turns a hosting organization "Vlan24", although that probably isn't related (since private device)

Centrilogic is based in Rochester, NY, with additional sites in Lenoir, SC, Buffalo, NY, and the US Virgin Islands. That very definitely explains some of the false IP readings from earlier.

I'M SURE YOU WONT SAVE MY NEXT VICTIM. IM HEADED TO THEM RIGHT NOW!! OR, IM HEADED TO A PLACE NEAR THEM.

is most suspicious to me. I'd still put my money on someone from New York, since Rochester (as mentioned) doesn't seem to match anyone precisely. However, the Jasp & Lebanon one would also match this description.

I'm thinking about pizza...

Pepperonipi? or a misspost

Shouldn't the last transmission have come several hours ago? I.e. yesterday evening?

It's today evening I thought. Didn't it say it was going to come on the 12th?

IF YOU ALL ARE SO SMART, HOW ABOUT SOME MATH? I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY.

1. BEGIN WITH NUMBER 1.
2. GET THE CORRESPONDING LOWERCASE LETTER FOR THE NUMBER ('LOWERCASE A' = 0, 'LOWERCASE B" = 1, 'LOWERCASE C' = 2, ...)
3. THE NUMBER IS NOW EQUAL TO: CEILING(N^3 + 2N^2 + 3N + 4 + 5 * SQUAREROOT(N)) MOD 26
4. REPEAT STEPS. 2-3 5,000,000 TIMES.
5. ADD THE LAST 10 CHARACTERS DEVELOPED TO THE END OF TINYURL.COM/
6. ENJOY YOUR ANSWER.

SEE YOU AT Timestamp: 06/16/2020 @ 0:00am
