All hands on deck.. we have some codes to break..

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Today's event stopped at the Vesper Youth Hostel and pauses there until Sunday Sept. 22nd at 8 est. There are deeds on top of chests scattered all over the Hostel. They are codes that need to be broken. EM Bennu has said if we break these codes before Sunday he will be amazed.....

So...

let's try to amaze him.

​

​

​

​

All that being said, I figured I would share my thoughts on the codes.....

I got NADDA!! but made ya look [/Spolier]

Thats hard with no word breaks

 

[Promathia]

I already figured it out, but ill wait for someone else to post the answer.

Sheshhhh dude... is there anything that you suck at??

 

[Promathia]

Gullibleeeeeeeeeee

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Gullibleeeeeeeeeee

lol... yeah, Google the word and check the images... I am ALLL over that search

 

[Bennu]

He's lying.

The only person that could have beat that code that fast is Eli Wallace.

 

[Faeryl]

Yup... This is a tough one. *keeps chipping away*

 

[SunWolf]

It takes you to other towns aswell.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

You mean the event? Or the code once you crack it?

The event hit several areas. Started in Skara, then to Glow Graveyard, then NE of Glow, then Vesper Graveyard and finally the Youth Hostel in Vesper. I think that is all the areas we covered anyway.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

.... and yes, I have been trying to crack the dadgum thing most all night lol

 

[Faeryl]

So I broke the codes down into smaller repeating groups of letters...

Then at about 3am, something kind of clicked for me. Now I haven't managed to find a cipher or actually fully solve it, but I HAVE made a fair bit of progress. I think.

EDIT: So here's what I got... I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's like 99%

Impressed so far Faeryl. Not done yet, but getting pretty danged close.

Think these ones are fine... The others are out of order...

Yepp. But is it just me or does it read better with the second line being first....almost like it's the closing of the message *shrugs*

Yeah, that sounds better. I'm just trying to put all the words in proper order first. Then I'll worry about putting the sentences in order

 

[Faeryl]

Is there a proper order to these sentences as well?

[Bennu]

Last line isnt correct, no proper order.

I was worried Id have to drop a hint later tonight somehow.

Also... Faeryl, please get a Job with NSA. Seriously

That was a Reversed Caesar Cypher with no spaces... not easy to crack.

 

[Faeryl]

Yeah. I'm having an issue with that last line...

 

[Faeryl]

Also... Faeryl, please get a Job with NSA. Seriously

You know, I have yet to actually solve one of these things by figuring out the cipher? HAH

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Also... Faeryl, please get a Job with NSA. Seriously

For real. Maybe then she could get me off that list I am on because of posts I make on Facebook and news/political discussion boards I debate on

 

[Faeryl]

Okay, I think I fixed it! Can you check it again Bennu?

 

[Bennu]

Close enough.

Also, for the sake of futureness. The Cypher was "XORINITE" and the code was backwards as if reading through a mirror.

Well done Faeryl.

Well done.

 

[Faeryl]

Well, this is what happens when I stare at jumbled letters too long. I just looked at it again and saw 'return'. I was reading it wrong all squished together like that. heh

 

[Bennu]

In all seriousness... you have a talent there. You should really foster that somehow, just use your powers for good.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

In all seriousness... you have a talent there.

A serious talent. At one point I gave up and started trying to use online code breakers and they were stumped... and she did it with pen and paper?!? Great job!

 

[Faeryl]

Good ol' pen and paper. *pats her notebook*

First the E, then the L, next came 'the collector'... It all just started falling into place after that.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

See, that's why I can't do them that well. I spell about like this dude:

Well, apparently I did that at least once!

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Well... as the song goes (you young'uns can youtube it or whatever ya do lol) if 2 outta 3 ain't bad then 7 outta 8 is so close to perfection it ain't worth counting it

 

[Alexander of ATL.]

Jeez... I couldn't even come close to solving this. Congrats Faeryl!
