@naxxfish,
You're still not including the 4th character from the end in your analysis:

Quote:
5 47575 0 7087 93 0 4380 7078 2610 0 395 0 11 291 0 2634 58 0 189 58 11 35


Except to treat it as a zero in that last bit.


If I add 189 to all of the numbers, I get:

Code:

LBGVVGSMQGLGRLGOMGNMRP

or
Code:

MCHWWHTNRHMHSMHPNHONSQ


Depending on whether I count 0 to be a space. This is adding the number, then mod-26ing it mind you.

Given the [ ] clue, I wonder if it has more to do with spaces and less to do with numbers. Hmmm....

 		Character count of the dashes etc doesn't match the word count from the original message, so it's not a straight substitution now, I don't think

 		Perhaps it means the code should be set up like so?
Code:
5     47575            0
7087  93               0
4380  7078   2610      0
395                    0
11    291              0
2634  58               0
189   58     11    35

Actually, this goes along with the "TINAG" mentality. Even though they say it's not a game, it doesn't mean that it's not.

(That's way too many negatives... Humor me, it's early.)

 		For some reason this is entertaining me. Trading nonsensical responses with the PM.

I took our previous exchange in two ways. First I took it literally, he wants us to talk about this/share it somewhere else because he isn't happy with the level of control here at unfiction. I also took it as the secret message where the capitalized words spelled out "Simply Put I Am Control". For some reason that made me think of the RPG Paranoia so that's what the troubleshooters and clearance level are in reference too. Basically I'm just shooting blindly in the dark.

You are control.

Are we having a malfunction? Do we need more troubleshooters?

Now that you can see it can I be promoted to Red level clearance?


His response:

clearance granted


And a text document attached to this post. It's entitled gas2.txt I think there's a chance this is ASCII art of some kind, even the original messages maybe. I'll let you guys chew on it for a while before I respond. If I don't get any better ideas I'm going to keep with the rpg theme and attempt to assassinate vapor, just cause, nothing personal just want to see what happens Cool I apologize in advance if anything untoward should happen to you vapor Wink

 		replace 2 with 0 and 3 with 1 and you get morse:

so maybe it's just find & replace the numbers with 1 or 0 and get binary.

 		square brackets and html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket#Square_brackets_.5B_.5D

this gave me information about square brackets - which, in turn, led me to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html_entities#HTML_character_references

where I then became too confuddled, tired and thought not bother -but someone else might want to play with this idea that numbers are in themselves coding fo something? especially with paranoia ideas etc being agreed with by the pm it seems

i'm too tired to focus right now - wil relook at this tomorrow - Paul.

Anyway, if the brackets are a clue, nothing immediately comes to mind.

I'm guessing this is 'think outside the box.'

Yeah, that's probably it. Nice catch!

Anyway, unlurking to share a little though on the 'wisdom is in the eye of the beholder' quote. I'm sure it's based on the oft-heard 'beauty is in...' quote. I think this might be somehow related to the Golden Ratio, based on the whole 'beauty' thing.

"Congradulations,
C you have solved the code; by now you are probably wondering? wtf was the point of all this!? well my friend here's the stone cold truth, there isn't one, you just wasted God knows how long on a puzzle for no reason.

I hope you enjoyed this waste of time,
Because I did,
Your's Truly,
The Golden Apple Society"

Key: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=35kCJkyg
Note there are a few mistakes, i.e. 872643 should be 871643.

Method: Searched some of the numbers and found this http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A022101 , deduced that a = 11 and from there it was just replacing numbers with letters, obviously I haven't figured it all out.

For my notes, and attempted solve at the other two partial messages see here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=sN9dz63x
