 		Playfair cypher with keyword ferret

gives something cryptic, therefore I think the keyword is incorrect..

So I got a reply back:

ag rp op fq ly ns yg cf bp ks kr ar lr

not sure if the same keyword applies...


draghkar and I were chatting about playfair ciphers this a.m. They're a lil finicky. This one just uses a different twist to give the correct solve:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This one is a "Replace J with I" Playfair with the keyword FERRET reading:
the quorom (x) must be completed (x)

That scenario is so Pinky & the Brain that I'd be hooked on this bigtime. Twisted Evil And you're welcome but Booba & Draghkar did all the heavy lifting here.

I looked up what he needs:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A quorum is the minimum number of members of a deliberative assembly (a body that uses parliamentary procedure, such as a legislature) necessary to conduct the business of that group.


So my next question would be:

Quote:
how many people for which group completes the quorum how can we contact you?


Code:

 		If more players are needed, I guess you can count me in. Been lurking so far. :/ I'll be busy with work and other stuff, but if I'm needed for anything specific you guys know how to get a hold of me. XD

So, yea, count me in.

Also, found this:
http://www.all-about-ferrets.com/weasel-folklore.html
Dunno how helpful it is. I'll dig some more into it, I love Celtic/European mythology. <3 It's just a matter of finding out which mythology our Monster Ferret is from, there are a few diff cultures that have it as a malevolent creature. Japanese seems to be the closest to what we've seen so far, I think.

 		After watching some of the YouTube videos of the ferret song I am fully prepared to investigate an ancient ferret cult. Smile
