Hey, it wouldn't be a gamble if there wasn't a risk involved. I could just put 500 YG points on a mortal dying before Tick 100, but where would the fun be in that?

Already happened.

Was Angelicious a mortal though?

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Yes not agents their a race.

[hector13]

Oh, that reminds me:

I bet 30 YG points on Phonoi giving death threats to at least three of the following before the end of Tick 12:

Eid

Too easy, no bet

Curiosity compels me to ask what the magic school is.

You'll have to wait until next Tick, but I can say that it's going to be very...energetic.

Packsnake - A highly social, pack hunting snake that is easily trained, due to its intelligence. It is comparable in size with a wolf

I read that as Pansnake the first time  . I may need sleep.

Probably should move our Translation Troubles here.

The biggest problem I have run into is the (apparent) lack of spaces. My tactics really need them to work properly, I can find a word if I know how many letters it has, its a lot harder without that knowledge (especially on long statements). It also makes it more difficult to find double-letters and di/trigraphs, since I cant tell if they really are part of the same word or if that is just a coincidence  .

According to Word of God from back in YG1, you can do anything in Ye Gods if you throw enough Essence at it. I suggest doing that to solve the code. If working on one of the puzzles in TWoOtA has taught me anything, it's to take the easy way out.

Wait, what is this referring to?

If it's a private IC thing that you're just bringing up because of lack of PMs or something, feel free to tell me, I'm just sorta confused as to if it's an IRC thing or just referring back to the old YG thing where we did that or what,

[~Neri]

It's a public IC thing.

^Those things. They where at the top and bottom of every tick so far.

[TheBiggerFish]

Oh.  Those.
They're significant, huh?

[Stirk]

Oh.  Those.

Depends on what you mean-I would assume one is a greeting, likely stating the name of who is communicating. The others likely are giving out some form of information, comments, or other nuggets that may range from silly to useful. Or it could just be random blather to throw us off  .

[Rolepgeek]

I'm fairly sure they're RNG gibberish. Character Frequency analyzer puts nearly every letter at approximately the same level of frequency. Not exactly, of course, but only 'u' goes above 5%. Meanwhile, the letter e in normal english makes up around an eighth of a typical text. 'q', the least common character in the lines, makes up 1.4% of the letters; the four least used characters in the alphabet (x, j, q, and z) make up about 0.6% of text combined. Granted, if it is by a Void being, their names would offset this a bit, but...given how similar the line lengths are, not the slightest bit of punctuation or capitalization...well. If it is actually a message, then good luck, Stirk. I suspect it's KJP's way of presenting the raw energy of creation, crackling like static about our divine little heads.

[Vgray]

I did not even notice those.

Anyway, I think I'm retiring Muske. I suddenly have no idea what I want him to be or do.

Which means, (if KJP allows a change of course.)
