 		You need to decode the characters in the message to get the address you need to respond too. I also don't think it should be solved in public seeing that they are looking for candidates who can solve it on their own.

Just think about it for a bit.. especially look at the symbols. It's very straightforward.

Now why didn't I get one Evil or Very Mad

 		Spoiler / hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Try retyping the weird message string imgovyopm#jpy,so;/vp, but shift your hands one position to the left on your qwerty keyboard.

 		yeah, I know, I already figured it out. I send it and it says that the account is unavailable. Maybe a contest that I replied to too late?

 		I don't know of any Unfiction-sponsored contests. And, seeing as how UF is strictly out-of-game, and this seems like something that might be ingame, i'm gonna lock this down for the time being, until I can get confirmation on a couple of things.

 		I've received confirmation that this was, in fact, from SpaceBass

Quote:
<SpaceBass> it was me, it wasn't in game, but it was gamey
<SpaceBass> and that's about all i have to say about that


So now I must apologize to Mantis for thinking he was smoking something when he actually wasn't. Sorry about that. Hope ya don't hold it against me.

And since this was a real message, I don't see a reason to keep this locked anymore. (Hope that's okay jamesi - if not just yell at me and lock it again.)
