The list seems to alternate between famous authors and famous artists, leaving six in one group, and a half dozen in the other. Also, the first letters of these two groups in cryptotext spell WRITER and ARTIST.
Authors:
TOLKIEN
DICKINSON
ROWLING
MACHIAVELLI
ORWELL
DANTE
Artists:
PICASSO
DA VINCI
MAGRIHHE (seems like it should be MAGRITTE. Error, or clue?)
REMBRANDT
WARHOL
MICHELANGELO
Now what?

| Most of the names listed are last names. The exceptions are Dante, Rembrandt, and Michelangelo. Doesn't seem too useful, though. |

The only thing I notice is a lot of letter pairs/triples in alphabetic order..
ABLDNOGH.ABCVEXYHIAKL (line 4)
No idea what it might mean though.
Also, same text fragment
ABCVEXYHIAKL is very like ABCDEFGHIJKL with just a few substitutions. In fact, it looks like two alpha lists embedded in each other (either starting or ending with a . for 27 characters?) |

So.. um.. not sure what to do here... I don't want to post a new cipher with this one still outstanding... Not sure about posting hints... mostly just checking to see if people are still interested in it. Maybe you guys should try talking it out, see if one of you finds something everyone else missed.

Well, I've got nowhere...no idea if anyone else is looking.
Is my previous post of any use or am I picking up a red herring? |

I've looked as well. I'm still in the same place I was in Post 6.

Well, all I can say is 3iff is on the right track.

That's a blow because I can't progress from there...
As you've bolded the 3 as above, I wonder if we need to convert things to numbers? probably not. No, I'm mainly lost, but I'll have another look at it. |

Well, that's why I suggest you discuss it more, see if working together helps you out. You've made some observations, now try to figure out what they mean. See what other observations you can make. I'm sure that working together, you should be able to figure this one out. I'm counting on it.

Here's what I noticed
There's 3 alphabetic lists running in parallel. They start with A, J and S. That's 1, 10 and 19.
Also.. we count starting at zero, that's 0, 9 and 18. (Multiples of 9?)
The second letter in the cyphertext does not seem to fit the pattern.
| Code: |
Cyphertext: ASCMWXGQRABCVEO PHIJKUDEO YHIJKUMEXYQIATUMNOGZI SBLDWOGZ.
List 0: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWX YZ.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR STUVWXYZ.
List 1: JKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ.ABCDEF GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. ABCDEFGHI
List 2: STUVWXYZ.ABCDEF GHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXYZ.ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQR
List order: 0S0122011222120... |
A three digit base 3 system will allow 27 characters. Each of the character blocks has a multiple of 3 characters in it.
In a base 3 system the alphabets begin with the (A) 000, (J) 100 and (S) 200
0S0 122 011 222 120
In a base 3 system then, the first bit there translates to
0S0: A, D, G
122: R
011: E
222: .
120: P
022 220 112
I Y O
This doesn't seem to help.
I'll just put this here in case anyone gets inspired:

You are close. You are so very close. There are some typos (for example, ASC at the beginning should be ATC), but most of my code is correct. Which means there's a slight miscalculation in yours.
But you've made me quite glad, Jademsar. It means my code wasn't that impossible. (And now I can get working on the next one.)
