# Thanks for all your help

This is a thank you to all those who've either welcomed me to Puzzling or have assisted me in learning new puzzles and giving me tons of feedback. I appreciate all of it. (Sorry not everyone I've encountered is in here).

Disclaimer: They are in no particular order, I'm not thanking anyone more than someone else.

• Well I see an anagram of a certain moderator in there straight away – Beastly Gerbil Mar 30 '17 at 19:12
• @BeastlyGerbil They can't all be super intricate now can they... ;_; – n_palum Mar 30 '17 at 19:13
• Yeah, 'i' is missing. – Sid Mar 30 '17 at 19:15

Going down: (Italic text is from OP for reasoning behind clues)

V from Sid:

Gives '7 1 18 5 20 8' which is A1Z26 for GARETH - Gareth is good at math so he got a number based clue.

I (idea from Sconibulus):

Is indeed I: BEASTLY GERBIL - HARAMBE ATLAS MOSTLY (or greatly) PAGE HERB EVIL - Reference to an animal as Gerbil thinks he's an actual rodent.

E:

TECHIDIOT - Morse code - I often misread their name with DOT not DIOT so it made me think of morse code.

D from Silenus:

ANKOGANIT - taking first and last letters alternatively - Their image has twisting words so it made me think of this clue.

O from Sid:

'Diet Coke Typist' = RUBIO - Each letter reversed - Just a reference to the diet coke in his image.

S from Deusovi:

MOEHM - The keyword of 'MARTIN' (his full first name gives 'der hilfsbereite mann aus münchen' or 'The helpful man from Munich' - He's from Germany so I incorporated the language.

U:

Sp3000 - Cryptic clue, he is australian, big on code golf and he 'starts solving puzzles' before 3000 (30th century) - Reference to his high rep on puzzle golf.

Overall:

DEUSOVI - anagramming the letters outside the boxes - His name is an anagram so why not mix it up again.

• @n_palum hope I'm in here ;) – Beastly Gerbil Mar 30 '17 at 19:31
• Don't you worry ;) – n_palum Mar 30 '17 at 19:31
• I was too easy :-) – Techidiot Mar 31 '17 at 7:16
• @Techidiot I think the reason I missed the second 'i' initially was because I thought, oh 'dot'! I'll do morse code because that has dots! – n_palum Mar 31 '17 at 12:01

The first one:

7 18 5 20 8 (The #/# is probably 1) which gives: Gareth

I is:(Thanks to Sconibulus)

Beastly Gerbil. (HaramBE, atlAS, MosTLY, PaGE, heRB, evIL)

O is:

Diet Coke Typist- Which is Rubio

E is:

Morse code which decoded gives Techidiot

U is:

Sp3000 (Def- Aus Golfer. Starting letters of Solving puzzles

Beastly Gerbil has astutely observed that:

The letters outside the boxes anagram to Deusovi

S is:(Thanks to Deusovi)

A vigenere cipher with key MARTIN which decodes to "der hilfsbereite mann aus münchen" which translates to "The helpful Man from Munich" - M Oehm

D is:

Ankoganit. (Taking the first and last letters in an alternating manner)

• The #/# is intended to be 1 yes, you're missing the / in your answer – n_palum Mar 30 '17 at 19:27
• I really wouldn't bother crediting me with 'DEUSOVI' :P – Beastly Gerbil Mar 30 '17 at 19:34
• S is Vigenere with keyword MARTIN (Oehm), decoding to "der hilfsbereite mann aus münchen" which means "The helpful man from Munich" according to Google Translate – Deusovi Mar 30 '17 at 19:35
