ok, since the second message in this one is a bit more complicated that the last one i'll give a few hints right off the bat...

the first hint has already been given. the second hint:

a[color=darkred:39dowkqu]n[/color:39dowkqu] eye for an i

finally, the message is written in the same language as the one hidden in my first story.

good luck.

Ooh, [i:14aap8mb]now[/i:14aap8mb] I see. It all makes perfect sense now.

Actually, with a bit of inside information now I can say that this might actually be pretty cool.

[EDIT] Animated avatars... gah.

It's too hot for me to work, but it'll still be fun watching this one...

Ok, I'll also need time for this one, ok? :S

The Architect · Post by **The Architect** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:13 am

take your time... it'll be a while before part three is ready anyway.

but you don't have to keep everything to yourself. maybe if people work together in here you can crack is easier.

CAn't we just have a pie eating contest?

Argoth · Post by **Argoth** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 12:23 pm

Yeah that's a good idea, or at least a beer drinking contest... Even drow drink, and they drink a lot... Well I know, they can get over the headaches and stuff just by focusing their will but, well, You know...

<O no not again, I hate canned bear, I've spilt it for the fourth time this week...>

The Architect · Post by **The Architect** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 9:14 am

awww, have people given up on this?

well, maybe this will help. here is another code (definately not a cipher) which, when broken, might help crack the one above:

Cnoglso_utrhse__tmaeksesna_gbey__btahcek__ftiov_el_ibfrei.

note that the underscores stand for spaces. i couldn't find a way to say the message such that i didn't end up with two spaces next to each other, so i wrote them as underscores to make the distinction clear.

have fun, and don't give up. i know you can do it.

I'd be a lot harder trying to stuff yourself with a hundred pies...

I'm still in pain

That is one part of it I would supose, but I'm guessing there is a lot more to the code.

very good.

though remember there are two messages hidden in the story and this one won't help you break the other one.

as for the other code i posted (which, when decoded, should help decode the second message), any ideas yet or want a hint for that as well?
