 		Need Your Input!
Ok, so a while back I created an IG "alter-ego" so to speak to antogonize BB. I don't post here at uF under other names or anything like that so please don't get that impression. I created this simply to use as a character so that I can play in disguise (according to pm's or whatever)

Anyhow, I've finally gotten someone's attention but unlike the tact Shizzire took, I was blatently harassing them. Sending them cryptic messages about how cfg will be their demise, tpb.org is only the beginning making it clear that I'm their "enemy" and so on. However, I think the act I'm putting on is keeping this person's interest. Anyhow, please read my email exchange (and like Shizzire I ask that you DO NOT spam this person as this is likely a delicate IG relationship) and give me your input for my "next move" so to speak, obviously I'm hoping this will yield yet another code. It's reached a point where lots of key phrases are popping up in these emails that throw up flags for me so any assistance would be great! Thanks.....

This comes from "Knave of Spades <digyourown_googlemail>"

Subject: arabella says we'll be best frands forever


Friar Tilton!

We're friends? How thrilling! I like friends.

A friar even perhaps, how very curious; on whom do you depend for your charity my /b/rother? Myself, well, charity would bend truth beyond acceptable limits, let's face it: it's fucking robbery what they do to me.

You have worked so hard to get some attention, and yes; I expect you want to hear this: you do stick out: hi, my attention, you can has, etc.

Care to read a favourite passage of mine?
"zkj'p opkl bkn wjukja sa'na lhwopey xqp sa opehh dwra bqj"

Italian ancestry, so it totally counts.

I am so bored right now.
Did you want to play a game?
♠


Arabella is the new "head of IT security" or whatver and just before this person responded she sent me a message to "stop spamming their email servers" lol...Obviously it made me persist that much more. He's also mentioned "Frands" and "Charity" amongst other things...

Quote:
"zkj'p opkl bkn wjukja sa'na lhwopey xqp sa opehh dwra bqj"


Translates to "don't stop for anyone we're plastic but we still have fun" in Caeser Cipher with N:4. This is quote from Lady Gaga's song "Papparazi". He's also referencing a few other emails I've sent to BB prior to this first response.

My reply...

Quote:
Knave,

I'm just going gaga over What fun this is! You wouldn't believe how boring it is being me. Can you believe that "arabella" _alled my email a spam, how dare him what was she thinkin when it wrote that? Arabella just doesn't realize we're friends!
To you my _riend, FriarTilton's charity comes from only one thing...

"4 : to enter or become established in _radually or unobtrusively usually for subversive purposes"

What a good friend you are, play a game indeed!

Pop a ROT-C 2 e z!


My character's been a bit wacky so i plan to keep it that way. His response...

Quote:
Sir (madam? frair indicates one thing, but kids through the ages, eh?),

Whoa, tell me more. No really, tell me more. I lo♠g to hear your treatise on, well, everythin♠. It is bound to be so very interesting what with your surreptitious ways and gracious patience. I don't be♠ieve we will have a second of boredom together you and I.

Will we?

There are a lot of th♠ngs Arabella does not rea♠ise, but let us be genero♠s and not hold that against her; she has a lot on her plate. Why she could feed all the dogs in England if she only put her mind to it. Alas, charity isn't her ...thing. Even these scraps, stolen.


Myself, yes, I am an excellent friend, you are absolutely right.
I don't even care that you upset everyone, that's how good a friend I am.


Some of the stuff is obvious here but I'd like all the input I can get before I respond again. I'm on borrowed time here at work posting this as it is so I don't have time to break it down atm. Thanks everyone!

*ETA @ 19:05 central 5-25: My reply is as follows....

Quote:
Friend,

You know how fun this is? 2 FUN! But what's most unfortunate is that you're only the Knave though. Now that is a shame : (

1 archaic a : a boy servant b : a male servant c : a man of humble birth or position
2 : a tricky deceitful fellow
3 : jack 6a (a playing card carrying the figure of a soldier or servant!)


All three of these don't strike me as not appropriate for you friend but it seems for one who truly desires to become an friartilton the real fun doesn't start until you're no longer 1 & 3, would you not agree? And I only want for us to have more fun than anybody, even more than those who provide your charity...

[L] May I [t] espouse [r] an opinion [#]? 20-8-5 15-14-12-25 20-18-21-5 ACE 19-5-5-14 19-15 6-1-18 @ BB 9-19 19-9-18 9-2.

*which is: "THE ONLY TRUE ACE SEEN SO FAR @ BB IS SIR IB" in simple Letter Number -inspired by Shizzire*

So where does that put u?

We both very much like games right?

If you like games, try playing these ones:
EZSFTFRDYJVAEMJEYWUZMHCIFVNCQP !

*which is: "IWILLNOTSTOPUNTILCFGDESTROYSBB" in keyed vigenere -credit Shizzire*



Thanks everyone for your help and thanks Shizzire for your inspiration!

 		so i was wondering if jack was keyser (ace) but it appears they are different; (different email addy's)

however, if not indeed the same person, they must be on the same team

i'm wondering about how sometimes the messages are spades, but other times they look like diamonds?

i'm wondering if his charity = their judas

Quote:
charity isn't her ...thing


he is telling you arabella is not charity....does that mean he isinviting you to guess who Charity is?

 		Telephone convos
The filenames for the telephone conversations between Thomas and Claire are:
tphn.thms.clr.01
tphn.thms.clr.02
tphn.thms.clr.03

So:
tphn=telephone
thms=Thomas
clr=Claire

The two containing Argyle are named:
tphn.argl.brn.mrcs.01
tphn.argl.brn.mrcs.02

Again:
tphn=telephone
argl=Argyle
brn=???
mrcs=??????

So who is brn, and is there a third party mrcs on these convos????

ETA: Ok, mrcs=Marcus?

Effort in trying both combinations? Just make sure that it is set to "decrypt". I used "playing" as the alphabet key and "games" as the passphrase if you must...

Anyhow, he answered earlier than ever this time, I think I struck a nerve...

A friar who turn up their nose at humility? Why, I never. I am of course pleased that you have a dictionary at hand, you can look up hypocrite.

:)

So smoke 'em if you got them, a whole pack of lies.

You do strike me as someone opinionated, though of course opinions doth not knowledge make. I must express my ever so sincere doubts that you know anything about 9-2, 1-18-1-2-5-12-12-1, or any of the players here involved. You don't even know 13-5, and 9'13 your 6-18-9-5-14-4. Supposedly. I don't know.

Because.

Sweetheart, I just don't understand. Am I supposed to be intimidated? I mean me, personally? The last time I looked you were scattering like roaches at daybreak. Rats, sinking ship, etc. Do you need more similes? I could do something on card houses.

Not sure if I'll get time this AM to start working on the rest, I'll ETA if I do....
