Question: what would happen if someone who wasn't currently playing ER won the prize?

[Sean Mirrsen]

You would get the prize as soon as you started playing, presumably.

Question: what would happen if someone who wasn't currently playing ER won the prize?

They would get 50 tokens. I suppose they could either then start playing, or just hand them out like a snooty patron, paying money to those that amuse them.

[FallacyofUrist]

... wait a minute. The symbols are part of the greek alphabet.
So... each symbol is a letter in the greek alphabet! Which means nothing.

You and freeformschooler ought to have a crypt-off.

[NJW2000]

The 5x5 thing could be relevant if it really was in greek, as at least one of ancient and modern greek has 24 letters, and with 1 for space, it COULD just be digrams corresponding to words which must be translated. This doesn't seem particularly likely, but still.

If anyone needs help translating greek, I can give a bit.

[Urist McCoder]

If we knew where the words were broken up it would be much easier.

[Urist McCoder]

I ran the code through string.split splitting at lots of different combinations this one Δλ looks promising.

as you can see there is only one  place where it repeats that shows up as "",

[Urist McCoder]

okay so, the glyphs used are lower case lambda, upper case delta, uppercase phi, and uppercase omega.
EDIT:oops missed one lower case theta

[NJW2000]

Wait, actual greek letters?

[Urist McCoder]

Yah they are real Greek letters, I thought we new this.

[Hapah]

I feel like I'm so close to a breakthrough. That probably means I'm nowhere close to figuring it out, lol.

[Urist McCoder]

I have no idea where to really look I feel like the lower and uppercase letters mean something but I have no idea what

[NJW2000]

They're all symbols used in Maths/physics, I think, so it might just have been the format PW felt was most natural for him, being a mathematician.

[Urist McCoder]

That seems unlikely in my opinion. We have basically zero leads and this I something very solid

[Urist McCoder]

Alright I am going to go ahead and tell you that I mainly care about cracking the code not the huge prize. So could this be the encryption method cipher
