Wouldn't all E's be revealed already?

ROW NINE'S RAIMENT IS ~~~~~~ TO CARBON ~~~~~

Do apostrophes count?

Does it end with RAW CARBON OXIDE?

O

First word could be:
iNput
uNtil
iNfix
kNock
uNbid
uNbay

Could be backwards too

Please guess vocals next time folks.

So, they have a tracker somewhere and the cypher is a key to find it and then get rid of it. I thought of a space ship related stuff but nothing fits the bill.

I dunno. Maybe it really is computer terms related, perhaps, to the Command Navigation Program (CNP) system?

INPUT HTML COMMAND RAM GLITCH CNP FILE

A

Maybe the number 33 is a clue to solving it

So, it's a cypher.

The alphabet has 26 letters. 33-26 = 7

Perhaps we can number the English alphabet from 01 to 26 and swap with an artificial alphabet that would start with A as 7 and Z as 6

D

H

C

R = S. Help me out here folks

2 more minutes, then?

Focctuc is Carrier!

Focctuc is either Barrier or Carrier or Riddled. Or Warrior.

CARRIER! THE OLYMPIC CARRIER
FOCCTUC IS CARRIER
USE THAT NOW

Nice job, folks.

You can thank me for figuring out Focctuc meant Carrier xoxo

My vote proably goes to LoRab. LoRab has been watching but only made one non-constructive post during our attempt to save our asses.

Already talking who you're going to vote for and it's been up for like 15 minute? Well if that's the case I'd actually probably vote for you because you were ignoring letters I was posting. You even said olympic carrier but then put other letters in their place. >.<

Oh hai Lorab!!

Do you know how freaking hard I tried to solve this puzzle? You have no idea, really. I tried every combination I could think of.

I'm sorry if I made a mistake and you didn't like it, but do not accuse me of sabotage. That's the complete opposite of what I did.

If I actually wanted to fuck this up, I wouldn't have mentioned the Olympic Carrier at all.

This is what I got:


A ~~~~ici~~~ ~~~~ct wa~ ~~~~ ~~ r~~ D~~~t~i~~

~l~~~ ~i~~ ~a~~~~~ t~~ ~~~i~~ ~~~ ~~~(e)

The final E is between parentheses because I dunno how it translates to the real alphabet.

LoRab wrote: @Polo: Sorry. Every time I started to figure something out, it was no longer relevant by the time I went back to the thread. Also, I suck at these. Also, just got home from work and had other things online to check after a 12 hour work day. But, if that makes me suspish, then I can't really stop you from suspecting me.

You could have tried, really.

My vote can change. We still have 47h ahead of us. Or not, in case the Admiral chooses to jump fleet.

DrumBeats wrote:Are we allowed to change votes here? I figured that the poll would lock it.

You have to vote in thread and in the poll and votes are not changeable. They have to be in red also.

I am going to use FoS until I know for certain that my vote is one I want to be final for the day.

Oh god, I missed this. DAMNIT

Golden, does this mean my vote is invalid until I post it in dead red? Meaning: votes will only be unchangeable after I post my vote in dead red?

Golden wrote:The vote in the thread is the one that counts for game purposes.

The vote in the poll is merely so that everyone has a good visual aid to understand where the votes have gone.

It is against the rules to deliberately mislead by casting the two differently or at different times. Since it is clear you had no intent to mislead, I'll overlook it in this case. But everyone should be very careful not to vote in the poll until they know where their vote is going. I reserve the right to hold people to their poll vote in the thread.[/b]

Understood. Sorry.

I tried decyphering the previous messages.

I think I found out what one of those was about:


O ~~~~tft~~~ ~~~~fr io~ ~~~~ ~~ r~~ A~~~r~t~~
A ~~~~ici~~~ ~~~~ct wa~ ~~~~ ~~ t~~ D~~~t~i~~
A suspicious object was seen on the Demetrius

The Demetrius is one of the fleet's ships: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Demetrius

Alright, then. So this means my vote is already going to LoRab no matter what, correct? Need I still post in dead red?

@ Polo - I LOOOOVE your avatar. Every time I see it, I say that in George's voice, shaking my hands like he did. "I was in the pool! I was in the pool!"

Ha, it's great, innit? I saw it on @seinfeld2000's Instagram account, which you'll probably find hilarious if you're a Sein fan like me.

Erm, are you sure you're a player in this game?

This is confusing. Why is your name listed as Marmot?

I adjusted my board preferences to hide all avatars, they clog up the screen

S~V~S wrote:Re puzzle solvers: Civvies or cred seekers. Golden said there were limited chances to solve and time limits. I would guess that would mean negative consequences for NOT solving since I don't see positive results for having solved it (unless the puzzle solvers got something not publicized in thread). His initial post doesn't mention consequence or reward.

Golden wrote:A message has been intercepted which may help us be rid of the cylons. However, little can be read.

Each person may name one letter. First three letters named in the thread will be added to the cypher.

You have 33 minutes to solve it.

~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~

I don't doubt baddies would white knight on the puzzle solving for cred to the point of solving it; I have seen people, notably aapje, doing this in the past. Especially if you are someone people expect it of. So I won't give people special cred for doing it BUT with no mention of consequences, I don't see a motivation for Scotty or polo specifically to do it since their puzzleyness is unknown to most of us. I would not expect it of them, so I would not have noticed it had they not.

There is in fact mention of consequence; read the roles again:

Golden wrote:
Galen Tyrol – Tyrol is the chief mechanic on board Galactica. Periodically, Galactica will come under Cylon attack. As long as Tyrol is alive, he will hold Galactica together and attacks will have no effect. If Tyrol is dead, however, Cylon attacks on Galactica have a chance of causing the death of an occupant on the Galactica, and a small chance of causing the destruction of Galactica and everyone on board.

Of course, we all know Galen Tyrol is alive and kicking, but we all need to be used to the solving these puzzles because Galen Tyrol may die any die and the only way we could be able to save our butts could be to solve these things.

Better to get used to it now than later!

Whoa there. Can I know why?

I've seen one episode of the show and didn't like it. I like my sci-fi in book or movie form only. Or music, too.

Not even Firefly?

Haven't seen it. I liked Threshold but I was like 11 when it aired.

Glorfindel also failed to say So Say We All, along with Vompatti.

S~V~S, Metalmarsh89, SokothQultuq, Nutella and Drumbeats also failed to begin their first post with So Say We All.

Welcome to Vompatti Mafia.

(I'm not defending him. I have no clue about him and probably never will.)

we played a heist game with him. i think he will be fairly readable as time goes on

lmao

would pay real gold to see Vompatti deciphered

Vomps kinda gave his role publicly in EST Mafia but he's damn weird I couldn't take him for granted and actually thought he was mafia.

This is quite the free comment...

I definitely am not trying to get folks to lynch them for that, but keep in mind that they could suffer punishment for disobeying this rule: "After either the Admiral or your esteemed host addresses the colonies and ends the address with "So Say We All", your first post MUST begin with “So Say We All”, or else you may be guilty of treason, punishable by time in the brig, or other punishments up to and including death, and by generally being branded a cylon sympathiser by the rest of the population."

In case any of them gets silenced tomorrow because they're in the brig (which means silence + no vote on next lynch poll) and this punishment is not publicly announced by our good host, we should all tread carefully and not promptly go after these artificially inactive people just because they didn't read the rules carefully.

Although there might be a chance that one or some roles could be prohibited to say "So Say We All" (perhaps one of the Cylons or the secret role). That'd make things too easy for us to detect who's scum, tho.
