[SOLVED] "Sister" to OpAphid

kageyuki · Post by **kageyuki** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 5:40 pm

Sister sent a message to OpAphid here in the IC interaction forums:

The original message:

Sister wrote:Yet, these Kings are Disguised Cleverly as Fools.

[maids a milking]

Chartreuse noticed an oddity in the capitalized letters after having watched Sister (as GuillotineCalamity on YouTube). He came up with:

YKDCF

Remembering the Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" Chartreuse also deduced that the second part of Sister's message [maids a milking] was also part of the code. There were seven of them.

YKDCF + seven = ykdcf7

When tried as tinyurl

http://tinyurl.com/ykdcf7 it led to another code:

5a 56 63 77 4e 56 6b 79
62 7a 45 3d

It turned out that this code was double-wrapped. After first decoding in Hexidecimal, the result is:

ZVcwNVkybzE=

... of course, this had to be decoded again. This time, in Base64. our findings being:

eW05Y2o1

This still being unrecognizeable, and not making much sense; yet still too long to be a tinyurl, it had to be run through a second time utilizing Base64. This gave us:

ym9cj5

which led us to:

http://tinyurl.com/ym9cj5 and yet another code:

121 98 119 112 118
120 13 10 13 10 121
51 119 107 122 113

Decoding this, using ASCII Character codes two more codes were revealed:

ybwpvx

and

y3wkzq

http://tinyurl.com/ybwpvx which when opened, led you to a pic and a lengthy code:

49 27 6d 20 68 61 76 69 6e 67 20 74 72 6f 75 62 6c 65 20
67 65 74 74 69 6e 67 20 69 6e 20 63 6f 6e 74 61 63 74 20
77 69 74 68 20 79 6f 75 2e 20 49 27 76 65 20 62 65 65 6e

73 20 67 6f 69 6e 67 20 74 6f 20 62 65 20 68 65 72 65 20
74 68 69 73 20 77 65 65 6b 2c 20 68 61 73 20 73 6f 6d 65
74 68 69 6e 67 20 67 6f 6e 65 20 77 72 6f 6e 67 3f 20 49
20 63 61 6e 27 74 20 6c 69 76 65 20 69 6e 20 6d 79 20 63
61 72 20 66 6f 72 65 76 65 72 2c 20 74 68 65 79 27 72 65
20 62 6f 75 6e 64 20 74 6f 20 66 69 6e 64 20 6d 65 2e

Which when decoded (Hexidecimal) you get:

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.

http://tinyurl.com/y3wkzq when entered turns out to be a music file: "Oh Sister" by Ghost Mice

Geezy, that was long!!! Tsukareteiru desu ne! ("That got me tired!")

^ hear hear! Thanks.

Now, do the squiggles in the first two images mean anything?

And what IS the significance of that symbol found on the last image? Antoinette (itrog) holds it up in her last video... and she's just as confused as we are.

I still haven't figured out if the squiggle mean anything.

If I had, I'dve added that info up there... ... but it did change it's position. It wasn't in the same place in it's respective image...

As for the note that Antoinette (itrog) held up... It doesn't look familiar, to me... It kinda looks like a musical bar, but I wouldn't say that with a 100% certainty.

who is Simon anyway? didnt brother call himself sebastian while living with gemma? sorry for two seperate questions, sorting things out in my brain

kageyuki · Post by **kageyuki** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 4:43 pm

I think you have people confused with each other... Maybe you were thinking that this was another Tachyon message, but it isn't. This is a message from "Sister".

Simon is most likely related to Sister, not Tach.

For better info you could wait for someone to come along with the answer around here (the fanvid forums), or you might try asking this question in the OpAphid forums. Sorry I couldn't help, more.

there aren't enough lines for it to be a musical bar.

Gah! I should have seen that... Do you have any speculations as to what it might be?

Surfing around Sister's youtube account and those associated with her just a little bit ago and came across this video from "xposingcalamity"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVS4r4G-GK4

It mentions something about that picture/drawing at the end. I recognize the photo with the "love, sister" from something else she's done.

Hmm. I wonder if this "xposing" character has an account here.

I was just watching a TigerlilyLynn video and that song title "oh sister" reminded me of one of the one's in one of Tachyon's videos.....

Do you think you (or someone else) could get a screencapture of that pic? I believe that if you put that pic and the note side by side and compare them, you may notice an eerie similarity...

The note is a rough sketch of the pic...

Excellent work! I think we need someone to make one official post again linking all this together!

This section is in character conversations only

I had originally put this in "Fan Vids and Spin-offs" because the code deciphered was originally from "Sister", who I thought was just considered a fan-vid...

Sorry to inconvenience everyone... ...

WOW! YOU GO MATH PEOPLE!!!

WOOOT!!

Thanks, LTL!

though there isn't really very much math involved, really.
