Got the same email. Haven't cracked it yet, as others said, the normal ROT codes don't seem to work. Tried comparing it to the last code as well, doesn't line up as far as I can tell. The "0"s throw me off. It doesn't make sense for them to be spaces, since the first word would then be 18 letters long. Which means it may be something weird like a ROT-14 or 27 multiple. But I think it has to be something more basic than that -- he hasn't really required any heavy cryptography yet.

I'm going to hold off on responding until either this code gets cracked, or we see if he responds favorably to some of your personal responses.

I've googled everything from "Simple number Puzzles" to "Numbers to words" to "number decoders". Nothing.

I got it too. It was a reply to an email I sent asking if there was a specific player number he was looking for with the next video that's supposed to come out, the "recruitment" vid.

definitely starting to think we should've collected last names in that puzzle chart. Rolling Eyes

should i send out a mass email to everyone from ashley's puzzle, and get that?

I'm also wondering if it's going to be a situation where, once we send him personal information, he sends each one of us back one letter in the cryptogram (or something similar).

Has anyone who sent him a personal statement heard back yet?

EMTFIRE

Hmm...good thought...I will reply

I replied a short time ago, but I haven't heard back from him. Maybe he'll respond when he gets home from work, lol.
