I've been following Sister as GC on youtube, and so I started decoding this.

Yet, these Kings are Disguised Cleverly as Fools.
[maids a milking]

Sister used randomly capitalized letters in her recent letter.

YKDCF

Plus maids a milking... seven.

YKDCF
seven

After staring at that for a while...

Now, can anyone help me decode that? I think it's double-wrapped.

Never mind, fellow opheads... I got it. You?

I just opened it, myself... is there any correlation to the "blotch" underneath the code?

Chartreuse · Post by **Chartreuse** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 2:56 pm

Not that I know of.

I mean, I ignored it and started decoding it. It's wrapped multiple times and then the whole THING is wrapped and rewrapped and then there's a message after an INSANELY LONG CODE IN AN IMAGE.

Why would Sister go to so much work?

... Geez... but you've already cracked it?

You're amazing, dude!

Is it utilizing multiple types of ciphers? or just one or two wrapped upon each other numerous times?

^ that, and a lot of patience, is all you need.

Yeah, I cracked it, but I won't post it because I hate when people post it too soon.

I pulled that up when I started trying to decode the message... Maybe, i'm just being too lacksidaisical (sp), and taking my time with it.

I know what you mean about posting the results too early. That's why I didn't ask outright for the answer. I'll get there when I get there!

I finally cracked the code(s)... Man... I fell asleep a couple times trying to key in one of them. This studff gets tedious! LOL

Well, I guess it makes sense that she would go to some lengths to keep her message hidden if she doesn't want to leave much of a trail to herself... but yeah, it does seem like much...

Do you want to post the findings or should I?

(It doesn't really seem like much of anyone else is really interested in this one...)

Haha, you go ahead. I think this message is a LOT more than it appears.

Nah, I'll post and we can compare.

I'm having trouble getting in contact with you. I've been hiding out, but I don't know how long I can hold up without some sort of Sign. Simon said he was going to be here this week, has something gone wrong? I can't live in my car forever, they're bound to find me.

This message is to the Order. I mean, "To OpAphid" is the name of this thread. "I'm having trouble getting in contact with you." Sister is in contact with Op. I mean, I'd guess that's what that is.

And Sister doesn't like tachyon.

lskdjflksjd what do you think?

"lskdjflksjd"?? .. I hope that isn't another code...

Actually, I meant posting up the "homework" or how we got to that message (which is the same as I'd gotten.) I'm in the process of writing it up and should be a minute before I'm ready to post it.

From her videos, I'm not exactly sure if she really dislikes Tachyon... To me, it does kinda seem like she looks down on her a bit, but I felt it was on a "Big Sister" kinda way... Though with the way things are progressing... Maybe it's because Tachyon seems to be able to keep a half step ahead of Oppy...

But going back to this message... Who could be following ("watching") Sister??

no, my gibberish was keyboard-pounding frustration. I do that a lot >.<

I didn't realize that's what you meant, about putting in all of the steps. I closed too many tabs and lost my path.

kageyuki · Post by **kageyuki** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 5:31 pm

I'm always kinda forgetting where I am in a code-breaking session... especially when I'm liable to start dozing off while trying to crack one. So, habitually, I keep the windows open and usually open another tab or window when I come upon a new one.

Either that or I keep a notepad very closeby... LOL

I'll be posting that up in a few seconds. Doing final editing and proofreading on it.
