The Cipher Game.

Playing around with Gigi in the chat reminded me that I used to do this with my friends during school, so thank you, Gigi. =D

For anyone who doesn't know, a cipher is more or less a "code" where you replace one letter with another. =)

I've been thinking that our games running here in chit chat need a bit more of a challenge, so I started to ponder a game that would require a bit of work, and come up with this:

Now, I'm going to post a intro to a story, and I want you guys to read it. The only thing is, I've encoded it with a cipher that you will need to crack (since it's the first round, I'm not doing anything horribly complicated yet), and the first to crack said cipher and post the story can take the task of either expanding on it or creating a new one (if you want, you can post what the cipher is, too). Now, just posting a bunch of jumbled letters may not seem the most fair way to do this, but fret not. I'll bold one word in the story and give you a translation of it into the real alphabet to get you started.

I'm really hoping I made no mistakes in there, that took longer to edit than I thought it would. x_x

EDIT: By the way, feel free to team up and work together, so long as you can agree on who will create the next part of the game. I'm more than willing to answer some of your questions as long as it won't completely ruin the fun of this. =D

Wtf Sumote!? XD School is hard enough...*Tries to solve dah code.*


(75 minutes later.)

Lolz I'm wave dashing with WeeGee in Melee. =D ...Wait...the puzzle...

(85 more minutes later.)

Lolz...more wave dashing. =D ...Oh yeah...

(5 more minutes.)

...Did Sumote just Rick Roll me?

[GrayFox]

Aw we have to do work? I agree with Mista L, school is hard enough x]

[Mrs. Pattinson]

ugh too much thinking!!
my head hurts...

[Jordan]

I shall solve this tomorrow. Count on it

i assume it is turn all the Xs into As and all the Ys into Bs right?

I will be keeping all the letters i figure out in the spoiler tab below, so if you want to do it yourself, ignore it please. I am doing this purely to help me keep up with it.

x = one i have used already

well the pattern is blatently obvious >.>

[GrayFox]

I'm sorry, but this is still beyond me. I tried though..

[Jordan]

sorry i know this is off-topic... but gray where the crap did you get these dancing lucario things?

[GrayFox]

Internet has many secrets x]

For real though, I admit I made my own code IRL but this is more advance.

[Raevis]

Psh, check Jordan's post. XD

I mostly made a really simple to crack one up, then started writing a story in all caps, then replaced the letters with all lower-case (which took longer than I thought it would, and I might've made a few mistakes somewhere. >_>), so that first round wouldn't take, you know, too long.

EDIT: You want some real fun? Let me whip up one of my old codes and that ten page story I did a bit ago. >=)

[Jordan]

EEEEKK!!!!!
Bring it on!
*is scared a little*

[Mysterious Mr.L]

*Would pat his back.*

Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac!

[Raevis]

On second thought, that'd take waaaaay too long for me to translate. =/

Also, post the story, Jordan. XD

[Jordan]

that was the goal wasnt it?

CR'sSSAE:
