Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The subject ROT-18's to wunder. The body doesn't appear to ROT, but vignere doesn't seem to work....


BUT....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...you have to understand how nasty I am to vis in this game. See, I started by running the body through a Vignere with the keyword as "wunder". Then, I translated everything into ascii, and translated *that* into my name.


So, the big translation, then....
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's in vignere...after being ROT-8'ed. The key is "wunder".
Text after decoding vignere:

qtwdmecvlmztqsmiaqabmz
jcbapmqalqnnqkctbbwkwuucvqkibmeqbp
qeqttammepibqkivlw
ivlapmqaiaitizuqabialidm
qbpqvsaquwvqaqvbmzmabqvo
pmpiaawuckpqvbmzmabqvosvwetmlomwnwkkctbbpqvoa

That text, after ROT-18:

ilovewunderlikeasister
butsheisdifficulttocommunicatewith
iwillseewhaticando
andsheisasalarmistasdave
ithinksimonisinteresting
hehassomuchinterestingknowledgeofoccultthings


I'll attach here my working notes on the e-mail I sent vis, so you can see what I go through to puzzle him. Wink

Good job on decrypting the latest email - and good job to vis for figuring out what you're doing to him.

 		Email for DIB!
I got an email from dib this morning. Seems he's not too happy about Simon taking over.

Subject: Could use some advice...

Hey there. I know I haven't ever spoken to you directly,
but I'm having some real problems. You're
one of the big fans of this DW thing I created
(and which is now out of my control), and so...I don't
know what to do. Maybe I just need someone
to talk to. Would that be okay?
I'm sorry, I'm probably not making any sense. You can
feel free to ignore this message.

David


I'm gonna respond and see if I can get him talking about what Simon is doing. (But it's emails like this that makes me second guess what is in-game and out.)

Hey, is there any chance would could talk
by IM or something? I'm just not sure where to start.
You could reach me at InvdrDIB on AIM.
Or if you have some other idea, let me know.

Thanks


I wrote him back giving him my AIM name (and explaining the fact that even tho it says I'm online, half the time I'm not at the computer). Hopefully, I'll hear something soon about what Simon is up to.
