Foudre's Cypher Level 1
So I'm bored and want to see how the members of srf off topic lounge can handle my cypher system. This is lvl 1 and just a the average newspaper level of cypher, level 4 and beyond might take you writing a computer script. I will make a new on each week (not sure how many steps to take to get there) till I get to my max beyond reason cypher system i devolped, I'm still going to have to write a program to make it because doing it by hand would take days.

The spelling is British-English.
The cypher is based off of a popular phrase, but had to be altered slightly for it to work in the cypher (when someone figures the cypher out, they may notice it, or I'll point it out for them).

Re: Foudre's Cypher Level 1
its not impossible but definitley improbable. u have to give us at least 1 word we can start with so we can start to piece others together like foudre did. in foudre's for instance i noticed the word level (plus a couple others) fairly quickly because it spelled the same backwards as it is forwards. the easiest thing in urs r the 2 letter words, bm, nz, & ps but none of them share any letters so theres no way of figuring out which word is which. i think the only way to solve urs is to guess quite a bit.Rainigul wrote:A tough one (which I just made up, so I'm not sure if it's even possible, lol)

Ps (twice), Bp, Bm, and Nz are all done.
Ps is done twice, and the letter B is repeated twice. The cypher begins with "Ps", a two letter word, how many two letter words can you use to start a sentence (which is also the very beginning of the whole thing (I skipped a bit in the middle, that's why I have the "..."s))? Not many. Soon after the "Ps" are two words which are capitalized, the last one being very long, what words are long and capitalized? Now combine that with the cypher beginning with a two letter word.
Hopefully that helps.
Just use knowledge of the english language, and it shouldn't be too tough to solve. It will take a while though.

Mines still lvl1, my higher lvl ones will require you to use ascii, which i gave the letters for to make sure who ever would be able to get it. I could already write down a lvl 2, i think i'll do 4 or 5 lvls, but lvl 5 and beyond it gets kinda crazy where it can take a while page for a single sentance
I'll try rainguls though to see if i can, making them is always easier then solving

Re: Foudre's Cypher Level 1
firstly u can use any word to start a sentence. secondly i didnt notice Bp for some reason but even considering that there r still not enough shared letters between all the 2 letter words to start with. i can think of quite a few 2 letter words off the off the top of my head so it doesnt help; ie: as, by, my, hi, is, it, no, of, on, so, to, us, we. and not every1 knows quotes from old british-english so u cant expect much there ither. the general rule of a cypher is to give us some kind of clues by which i mean like foudre did with telling us about half a dozen letters in the cypher.Rainigul wrote:mike2007 wrote:its not impossible but definitley improbable. u have to give us at least 1 word we can start with so we can start to piece others together like foudre did. in foudre's for instance i noticed the word level (plus a couple others) fairly quickly because it spelled the same backwards as it is forwards. the easiest thing in urs r the 2 letter words, bm, nz, & ps but none of them share any letters so theres no way of figuring out which word is which. i think the only way to solve urs is to guess quite a bit.Rainigul wrote:A tough one (which I just made up, so I'm not sure if it's even possible, lol)

i wish i could figure out what noun that is, if i were able to this would be really easy, k could either also be r or h, so i'm not sure its a vowel any more

oh and, yes the sentence structure is set up along with the word choices make it seem much more like old english rather than modern english.

Is new english "gonna" and "bhind" and "ur"? It's a normal sentence, it's not like the guy who wrote that ACTUALLY wrote that, he wrote it in Latin or something, this is a translated version, by someone in our time, and it makes sense.
But whatever, you didn't get it, and I wrote it was old English, so I guess we were both wrong.

my sentence structure was definitley new english, but those word choices r just slang and chat speak simplizations that help a user input msgs faster into the interface. ull notice ive done it again several times within this post as well, and i do it in virtually all my posts.Rainigul wrote:Is new english "gonna" and "bhind" and "ur"?
the original time period and sentence structure make all the difference. it doesnt matter when it was traslated or by whom, it might not b old english but its at least old latin. and when did i argue whether it made sense or not?Rainigul wrote:It's a normal sentence, it's not like the guy who wrote that ACTUALLY wrote that, he wrote it in Latin or something, this is a translated version, by someone in our time, and it makes sense.

What? You just totally contradicted yourself. You said that it's old English, and then you say you're misinformed because I called it old English. First, I didn't call it old English, I said the spelling was British-English, it just plain out isn't old English. According to you, someone 2000 years ago could have said "Hi, my name is Tom". And now, someone could say "Hi, my name is Tom" and it would be old English. That makes no sense.
It just plain isn't old English, I spelled one word the British-English way, and now you're getting your panties in a twist about it. How am I wrong? There is nothing I'm wrong about, I never said it was old English, and it's not old English, point out something that makes it old English, and I'll admit defeat. But what you're saying is that because it was written a long time ago, in a different language, and then translated in modern times, it is old English, which makes no sense.
You were wrong however, because you thought (and think) that the quote is old English, which it is not. You were also unable to decypher it, even though it was entirely possible. It is very easy to decypher a cypher, even when no letters are given. How do you think the zodiac killer worked? You think he wrote out his cyphers and then at the bottom wrote a key? No, he didn't.
This will be my last post in this thread, but if you want to continue the argument, pm me.
