5.2.3 Super serious spoiler Spoiler there's something odd about the file names that does not match previous naming conventions
Spoiler Do you know how to encode messages using the Bible? Of course here you have to use the texts which were already given to you
I am at stage 7 now. A nudge would be appreciated - where to begin? Spoiler It seems to be kind of a game, but "Battleships" or "Tic Tac Toe" do not seem to fit. "Connect Four" played only with a 5x5 roster could work, but as the x's and o's do not alternate I can't see which player is playing which and if the "------" are rounds I have to figure out
Spoiler Unless it's a type of cipher i don't know about, none of the ones i do know of fit. Book cipher doesn't work since we lack the proper amount of documentation to make anything work as chapters, the standard bible cipher doesn't work because again we lack enough documents to create a key using that method. So unless i'm missing something I'm still at a loss
6.2.3 Spoiler So assuming it's a book cipher but using the documents we have. I've tried saying the first digit was the document - nope doesn't work, not enough documents. Tried saying it was the paragraph - ok that works, we have 6 groupings of stuff. Wait that doesn't work, not enough space to break down so that the last digit is a word. because if you go from clump to sentence (wait can't be sentence some clumps only have 1) word? nope because then you have 2 more digits to deal with... Which suggests I'm looking to hard but based on the nudges I'm not sure how...
Spoiler You have the right approach but you are starting too low, try to see the bigger picture. What else do we have 6 from at this point?
Spoiler took some work but i managed to get there, the last part felt kinda like guessing once i researched what i had
Thank you! I had actually thought about this and was talked out of it. Looking for a bit more Spoiler I have the sentence. I have the source. I have also typed some 200+ attempts in for the password. If there's some logic (I was thinking about weapon but that didn't lead anywhere) I'd love some
Looking for a nudge on 7. Spoiler: Where I am I think we've identified the game, but unsure where to go from there.
There's a group working on it Spoiler https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X-HW0Ank4JtbSc-FTEW54KaE-bv7rcUZfcSZqKaKQcE/edit?usp=sharing
still stuck on 5.2.3 this is the point i'm at: Spoiler update: got the secret word, figuring out how to use it
Re: 5.2.3, I wanted to check if I'm barking up the wrong tree. Spoiler I've tried analyzing the sentences with misspelled words as binary strings, then getting the ASCII for that; it resolves as "prmpHeby", which I can't manage to interpret as a scramble, and I'd be at a loss for finding a cipher key. BASE64 interpretation hasn't found anything on Pastebin, Clyp, or YouTube. I'm pretty much certain that I'm overthinking this. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Looked into the project group document and what puzzles me: where did the get the Black Wacthmen Archive Number from?
