Secrecy by Charlie Fish

December 5th, 2007 6:16 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a secret code. Enemy agents are everywhere and secrecy could be necessary in any situation; the use of your code shouldn't require the presence of a computer.

ALTERNATELY

Write your own encoded secret rules for your group. Anyone of the same group who mails you must be given the translation and/or a way of reading the ciphertext.

If another group deciphers your secret rules, you lose.

Below is an encrypted set of rules for the trajectory of EquivalenZ. Anyone in EquivalenZ (alter egos excluded) can ask me for the method or a translation.

Anyone from a rival group can have the method in exchange for a vote.

I know this isn't a very original completion, but a) no-one has made secret rules for EquivalenZ and b) I need to clear my task list for the upcoming challenge...

Haha, gottit.

But you get a vote from me anyways, for the use of popular webspeaks and to further your challenge casue.

I can confirm that General Tom only got the decoy message, not the secret encrypted message.

Interesting... I'm in.

I lose...

Emily cracked the code. Well done.

I hereby dub thee High Countess of Cryptography. Stand and be recognised.

Of course doesn't that mean you lose?

Ooh, I get a shiny title! I love shiny titles.
Anyway, I recommend folks either decrypt it or vote, as it's quite well written.

I give in, what is the method?

Congratulations, your excellency.

And yes, it is indeed well-written. (And I should've recognized it as a transposition cipher. Frequency analysis on the letters showed way too many j's but something not-quite-normal outside of that.)

It was actually the punctuation that gave it away to me.
