praise undeserved...

oh well, that's enough for one night, all I can see in front of my eyes are lots and lots of letters that do not make any sense!! I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh head! Good luck to all you people who have more stamina than me!

Good night elise. We are all going crazy with praise, right? We now we must find the main hint/keyword in the first letters, then crack the cipher. I've been looking for something down the river that would relate to L.M.D'S... but no use. I`ve found out that Manaus is upon R?o Negro o Negro River, pretty close where it meets the amazon river. I went all the way down the amazon, on Google Earth, until I reached the sea (Macan?) but didn't find anything that could begin with the L.M.D'S UNM.A. Guess it is not the right track. Any other ideas? Maybe if we tell eachother what we have tried without success can help us all

Undeserved Praise

Do you poor solvers need a hint?

P.S. I forget who said it, but the title does indeed allude to Alexander Pope's quote: "Praise undeserved is satire in disguise." This is a play on words with "Satyr in disguise."

[Jase]

still none the wiser but thanks anyway

[Cryptos]

I meant a hint about "praise undeserved"

[Jase]

I give up ... thanks for the puzzle so far but i realise that I am just not as smart as I thought I was

Does this help at all with the puzzle? Or is it just a little interesting fact?

[bballbabe4432]

does the answer have to do with the title "praise undeserved"?

[Cryptos]

Praise Undeserved

No, the title has nothing to do with it.


MUST READ ANNOUNCEMENT! MUST READ ANNOUNCEMENT!

The initial L.M.D. has been changed to F.M.D. as it should have been.

MUST READ ANNOUNCEMENT! MUST READ ANNOUNCEMENT!


If you need another hint, I can give you one. Seems like you're having a lot of trouble with this one.

[LittleDevilDuck]

Firearms of Mass Destruction!!! LOL! I know that's not it but haha that makes me laugh

[LittleDevilDuck]

But I must ask, is F.M.D a direct abbreviation for something? No tricky ciphers needed? and also since this first line is the most important are we to disreguard the rest? Or is the first line very important cuz it's key in solving the rest??

[Cryptos]

LOL. How about Foot-and-Mouth Disease? Fashion Model Directory? Fluorescent Mulitlayer Disc?

[Cryptos]

I just gave a huge hint to someone who PMed me on the forum. If you want it it could really help you a lot...

F.M.D. is/was a person.

Feeling Mighty Defeated. It fits and it pretty much describes how I feel in reference to this... lol but yeah... is it a direct abbreviation? Or am I missing the point?
