well... we have two senarios here 1} they made a fake hack to incorporate the hackings into "in game" or 2} amanda did it, and it has clues....

actually, either way it might have clues. But yes... i fully think it's in game. and i LOVE bronski beat!

/me hums along to a mix of "why" & "smalltown boy"

Here's that same message reformatted without punctuation or spacing. Also, hoping to see an obvious HTML in it somewhere, I capitalized those letters and removed the others. It's no solve. That's for grumpyboy to do.
Code:
iHaTeTHeLongHoTdays
ofsuMMeriTseeMsTobe
endLessaTTiMesandTo
MakeiTworseiTforces
MeTowaiTforTHeTiMei
LongforeveryyearbuT

coMeTocaLLnaTureive
seenTHefaceofwHaTis
beyondTHaTveiLiknow
iwiLLneverbeTHesaMe
xuujuujuuHuHHnraMon


and, for fun, the same letter order remade into a 23x19 (instead of 19x23) grid. I was hoping to make it a square, but no luck, so I went for this.

Conbined with the fact that it was acknowledged by edmanda, I'm pretty sure it was in-game.

Nice! I've been waiting for a cool hacking element!

IMO, the first hacking was out of game, the second is in-game (a good way of bringing the hacking into the story Smile)

So, do we now put this part into PUZZLES? I have to go to work, but one of the other moderators can split the thread and put the new hack stuff into the PUZZLES forum.

Besides, when was the last time you saw a hacker who could spell, let alone write well.

Those are also the only x's in the message.

if you take all the letters between and including the X's, it gives 144 letters which makes a nice 12x12 grid... Wink

In that, if you take all the letters between and including the U's, you get a nice square of 64 Smile

If you go from the U at the end of the 8x8 grid down to the x, you get another 8x8 grid.
