      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I saw that too, then noticed there's an incrementing series of characters that are used for the first time throughout the message. EFGHIJK (there's an L in between the J and K in the code, so either typo or I'm totally wrong) appear for their first times in that order, which happens to be the same as the alphabet. I thought these could be spaces or keys to the encryption, but who knows? Probably just a coincidence.

Interesting, if not helpful.

I'm now matching each of the reflected sequence's letters to their corresponding numerical position in the alphabet. I have no fucking clue what I'll do after that, but it seems like a good idea. :P

Eh, I doubt its that complicated. It's more than likely just some version of the Caesar cypher (shifting the alphabet index like a decoder ring) with other stuff thrown in.

Edit: Just noticed there's an "I" near the beginning, so my first-appearance observation kinda falls apart...

It may not be hard, but this is like saying "here's a bunch of letters, now go have the whole internet in front of you and find exactly how to solve this thing I just made up." Well, I googled it, and guess what, nothing came up. It isn't morse, it isn't an anagram, if it's a Caesar cipher it would be damn hard to crack without a decoder. So what in bloody blazes is it?!?!??!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

[13:53] <Ditto|work> yes

[13:53] <ECC> god... that one I didnt even try hard to write. Like literally the worst I did was mirror the text.. which you all already figured out.

[13:54] <Ditto|work> It's simple for you, because you know the answer

[13:54] <ECC> no, look at the first few letters.

[13:54] <ECC> look at the words

[13:54] <Killster550|Wailing> choto wika woki flame

[13:55] <ECC> there are at least 3 distinct words in the phrase and that my friend is the key

i directly copy pasted and left the joke in there for fun ^^

[14:48] <ECC> well, Im going to see where I went wrong in the encoding on mine because this is unreasonable... Its saying two charicters are missing yet the code says they are not.. at the same effing time

[14:49] <Killster550|Wailing> lovely

[14:49] <ECC> either that... Or I added a letter somewhere it should not be...

[14:49] <Killster550|Wailing> your code is so good it messes up your mind :D

[14:49] <ECC> which would give me the same result

[14:49] <ECC> its a very minor typo and aside from those charicters it would decode and say the same thing

[14:50] <Killster550|Wailing> unless its the entire hexadecimal to binary code behind a great game, i am not impressed :D

[14:54] <ECC> ok, in the encoding I added a space where I should not of and took a charicter out from the code... since there are no spaces in your version the space is irrelevant. but you are missing the A next to the W

[15:52] <ECC> every letter moves to the next letter in the alphabet. if it occurs more then once, it moves twice. so, e is f then g then h and so on

[15:54] <Killster550|Wailing> how does that translate?

[15:54] <ECC> it encripts only the second instance of that letter.

[15:54] <Killster550|Wailing> even the word syntac is messed up

[15:55] <ECC> in the ass. pain in the ass

[15:55] <Killster550|Wailing> no

[15:55] <Killster550|Wailing> anal rape is a pain in the ass

[15:55] <Killster550|Wailing> this is a trainwreck in the ass

[15:55] <ECC> wait. what?

[15:55] <ECC> god, you all still think... you know what, nm, too much fun to leave it at that

[15:56] <Ditto|work> exactly

[15:56] <Ditto|work> that's the whole point

[15:57] <ECC> EEEEEEEE in the code is EFGHIJKL

[15:57] <Ditto|work> I knew the answer was EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[15:57] <ECC> XXXX however is XYZY

[15:57] <Killster550|Wailing> the word syntax is messed, where dafuq is a space?

[15:57] <Killster550|Wailing> WHY XYZY

[15:57] <Killster550|Wailing> wait i got that one

[15:58] <Killster550|Wailing> first it twists then it hits the z so goes 1 further

ˆ’¨¨ž@’¦@¦ª Š¤@†ª¨Š

Ok, so all of the characters printed correctly. This encryption is actually simpler than ECC's encryption, but I suspect that it will be more difficult to figure out simply because of the nature of the encryption. Good luck, and I'll give hints if no one can come up with an answer after a while.

my guess is that its based of the shape and pronouncation of the symbols, so a @ would become AT and stuff like that

Converted the characters to their decimal ASCII values. Perhaps this could help...

94 44 168 168 158 64 44 166 64 166 170 (space) 138 164 64 134 170 168 138

I also tried messing with these numbers further by trying to modulo 26 them, but that didn't help.

These are not correct. Be sure to use Copy-Paste for getting ASCII values. Some characters look similar, but are not.

I don't want you wandering down the wrong path because of a silly mistake like this.

Edit: Unfortunately, even with Copy-Paste, that space does not translate properly because of how HTML works. It is ASCII 160
