FIX SHIFT

Manipulate the Proxxy Coil, make it a transmitter, spam transmissions

javierpwn: FIXSHItr. This item is clearly the "Fixshitter"

Let's think for a second.  Proxxy works with computers.  She comments out parts of her messages.  They look like programming code

Good thinking, let's chew on that for a little while. I don't believe her "no double meanings", not one bit!

It's clearly "Fix shits" :U

And you would do so much better, Oh wait I actually started overthinking to find any clues you were trying to give us by showing us that image, yhea, I think I can agree now.

Anywho, wonder if by halfhabet she means that even if the words are decoded half of it is missing?

[Dermonster]

Pro's of being friends with the author: I get to learn juicy sekrets.

Cons: Can't actually use anything or I lose access to juicy sekrets.

Such is life. Now excuse me while I sip on this nonexistent drink and laugh at your blindness/stare uncomprehendingly at the massive amount on gobbledygook.

1. Increment 13
2. When not Increment, --
3. on >, counter = 0

Is that how the code was generated, or how to reverse it?

Also, I don't think anyone's mentioned the weird colors around the edge of the screen.  Proxxy said we were only looking at half the picture, so maybe that's what she's referring to?  They seem random and meaningless though.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

No those are the walls, see, what Proxxy is doing here is giving us a code with the excuse that she might be being tracked, so we need to figure out how to decode it, the walls have nothing to do with it, what she's saying does.

Actually, since the walls have ears they do have THAT to do with it.

Oh, on another note, hey FFS, with this message:

->You would rather not waste SP here, +>but if you ask once more time, and nicely,  >you'll go along with this plan.

Did you mean to put in the 'once' part or was that unintentional?

[freeformschooler]

Unintentional. I'll fix it.

[Chris the OK]

It's odd that we only have seven letters that have appeared in alll the orange letters we've seen. Even given that we're only looking at dealing with the latter 13 letters of the alphabet, that's quite a skewed distribution, and in cryptography that counts for something. I thought they might stand for moves on a hex grid but we have seven - OPRSTUY.

This is gonna be just as hard on the GM as it is on the players.

Months, I say.

I'm sure I will kick myself when I see it, but so far nothing has given off the vibe that the solution will be straightforward.

Well, I'm trying to write a Perl script to do the things RoaryStar requested, but I've forgotten a lot and I will probably fall asleep. Don't abandon Proxxy's cause, people!

OK, so let's first solve the problem about whether or not this is encryption or decryption, I would like to take the first line

->Your name is Proxxy. You

Now we start with the first line since the first line is immune to the influences of previous lines. If we took the second line then something from the first line may have carried over to the second which may mess up our results.

As we know, the first letter is part of a 2 letter word.

There are 17 letters leading up to the yellow letter(this is counting the yellow letter itself)
There are 18 characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude spaces
There are 22 characters  leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces

There are 19 letters in the whole line
There are 20 characters if we exclude the spaces(this merely includes the period) in the whole line
There are 24 characters if we include the spaces in the whole line

A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Now following this chart that elephant parade made, Y is 25.

If we shift Y left by an increment of 17, then we get H
If we shift Y left by an increment of 18, then we get G
If we shift Y left by an increment of 22, then we get C

Since there is no 2 letter word that begins with C, we can remove shifting left based on the number of all of the characters leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces.

If we shift Y left by an increment of 19, then we get F
If we shift Y left by an increment of 20, then we get E
If we shift Y left by an increment of 24, then we get A

In this situation, only A is the letter with a viable 2 letter word. Therefore shifting left based on the entire character count of the whole line is the only possibility we can gain from the "whole line" experiments.

Now let's try shifting right

If we shift Y right by an increment of 19, then we get R
If we shift Y right by an increment of 20, then we get S
If we shift Y right by an increment of 24, then we get W

Since there is no 2 letter word that begins with R, we can remove shifting right based on the number of all of the letters in the whole line as a possibility for decrypting.

If we shift Y right by an increment of 17, then we get P
If we shift Y right by an increment of 18, then we get Q
If we shift Y right by an increment of 22, then we get U

Since there is no 2 letter word that begins with P,Q or U, we can remove shifting right based on any factors that involve going beyond the yellow letters.

So we are left with 5 options with the first letter:
shift Y left based on the number of letters leading up to the yellow letter to get H
shift Y left based on the number of characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude spaces to get G
shift Y left based on the entire character count of the whole line to get A

shift Y right based on the number characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude the spaces to get S
shift Y shift Y right based on the number characters leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces to get W

Now, I need to go to sleep now but I will give you part 2 of the first word tomorrow, I came up with an exciting breakthrough but I don't have the time to write down the explanation behind it. I believe the first word is GO.

Please tell me how I did in presenting my ideas to you guys, is there anything that isn't clear?

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Why did you say 2 letter word? You has three letters, and your is 4.

[heydude6]

Simple, because the first encyrpted word is YR, which is a 2 letter word. Currently, Y either stands for H,G,A,S or W
