I got the other one too. And this clue is so obvious! It's *arrow to heart*

I got the IP bit of the last one.
Good chapter. I'm having fun trying to figure out what Unclec Quvolgn means.

I haven't posted yet, but I thought it was a neat chapter.
I can't work out the clue. PJ assured me that I was very close in some of my musings on the methodology of solving it, but in the end it simply required more effort than I was prepared to put in.

I suggest you talk to Dante. He's closest, so far. Ok, I might as well say this: The clue is hidden beneath two layers of code, one of which is an anagram.

Hmm... an anagram, I could probably do. The question is, is it the first or second step? I'm not actually asking this, mind you. It's rhetorical.
I didn't figure out the IP hint, because I didn't realize what we were looking for, I thought it was a clue to the identity of the person or something, not a clue to learn who is to be victimized next. Now, I have a bit more of an idea of what I'm looking for.

1.11.2.1.28. “That’s the IP.“ Derik declared as he came on. It took Antenora perhaps a minute to crack it. “Each number represents its letter, from 1-26.” i didn't know R was the 28th letter of the alphabet also, burgo's catch phrase? i saw it a couple of times

The NEXT Chapter! If you want to solve the clue, don't read on just yet. Chapter Four In which another member disappears. This clue was harder than the last, it seemed. Char posted:“I used an online anagram machine to check it. These are the results: go, no, on, cog, con, cue, cun, ego, eng, eon, gel, gnu, gun, leg, leo, log, lou, lug, non, nun, ole, one, uno, cell, clog, clue, cole, cone, conn, cove, cull, glen, glue, gone, gull, leon, loge, lone, long, love, luge, lung, nell, neon, noel, noll, none, noun, null, ogle, once, oven, clone, clove, clung, coven, glenn, glove, lunge, nonce, nonce, novel, ounce, ounce, uncle, vogel, vogue, cloven, longue and lounge. Anyone know what that means? I think PJ’s stalking us.” Meawhile, BSam realised the old rules did not apply, and was busy spamming up the forum with several swear words. He finally posted in Ennui’s thread. “hehe. spaming is fun. no idea wat peej ment. mebe hes crazy.” “I have no idea what that means. Antenora, you’re pretty good at code-cracking. Any ideas? Also, I am going to re-read some of PJ’s old stories to see if he left any clues in them.” posted Dante. Unfortunately, Antenora was very busy (she was one of the few uncorrupted senators) and wasn’t online at the moment. “We should give each other our phone numbers, so we can talk outside of 667. And if anyone else is deleted, we will be able to talk to them.” Pandora posted. Several people then agreed, and posted their telephone numbers. BSam grumbled about the cost of over-sea calls. “I’ve tried changing the letters into numbers, like with the Akbar clue, but it makes no sense: 21.14.3.12.5.3. 17.21.22.15.12.7.14. Does that number ring any bells? Like, a phone number, or something? Anyone?” Unfortunately, James had done it incorrectly. The numbers where not the answer, so nobody recognised them. Finally, Antenora appeared. She was a cryptologist of sorts, and loved puzzles and riddles. She made quick work of the clue. It took her roughly half an hour. “I went through a few normal codes, and eventually cracked this one. You see, you write one half of the alphabet on a piece of paper, and then the other half right below it. This was the code. So a was n, n was a, b was o, o was b and so on. Which means the code transforms to: “Hapyrp Dhibyta”. Which is an anagram of “Happy Birthday”. So, I checked PJ’s birthday, and it’s: February 22, 1989. Does that ring any bells?” Unfortunately, it did. One of the next posts was from Ennui. “Why, that’s my birthday! I could have sworn it wasn't like that yesteryday...Does this mean I’m to be killed next? I’d better find myself a weapon…” He joked. Too bad he was deleted an hour later. Amber, who was rather worried, called him, but he never picked up the phone. Soon another mysterious message from the guest “PJ” appeared. “Minocher has shuffled off his mortal coil. He fought valiantly, even when my knife was plunged into his stomach. Oh, and clue three: Coming Soon: Chapter Five In which the murder is confirmed, and another member says goodbye.

So it was half-alphabet code. You acted as if I was totally on the wrong track when I suggested that.
And I originally thought that the newest clue was the member *name removed but DDiscussion posters can all guess who I mean from the picture*, but then I realised that not only is he not on the death list, nobody really cares about him.
Also: My computer keeps on randomly going into Insert mode, so that when I type things in the middle of sentences, the rest of the sentence starts to vanish.

And because he/she is not on the list, does not mean they are not connected. Also, no helping each other this time. It's far too easy for that.
