arthexis:
#1: BLO people can PM me to obtain the key for encrypting and decrypting the message.
#2: I think this fix will help BLO, because it will completely prevent the other factions winning without having to come in an at least try to get the Relic legally.
Yoda:
Tunafish?
Qwazukee:
This must be a very ingenious encryption method. . . .
Yoda:
All this says is “tunafish”.
Qwazukee:
Very ingenious indeed; even after Yoda has decrypted it, I still have no idea what it means.
arthexis:
Yoda believes that is all there is to it! But there is a second step to the decryption!!
Yoda:
You’re bluffing. This is just another harmless proposal made purely to create suspicion like the Relic Dusting proposal.
Face it, arth. I cracked your encryption method.
arthexis:
Nope. And hopefully this will pass and make me happy…
Rodlen:
I would like to announce that this is obviously spam, and should therefore be deleted.
Amnistar:
Rod, nope, BLO has it’s own encryption thing, this falls under it.
Klisz:
Yoda: How DO you decrypt BLO proposals?
Amnistar:
I’d like to know as well, and just for kicks and giggles…
Klisz:
...according to Yoda’s decryption method, this says “(Mv1Jm9H q`a9ms@i7Ife9L21Rn2HC!\R2X,FK9N 3MviB 8.)l@m:\nBDo9”...
Klisz:
Hold on a second. Using Yoda’s endcryption method, though, the word “tunafish” does, in fact, turn up this proposal.
Klisz:
Here’s an example message:

Qwazukee:
Ok, I definitely don’t understand. Where are you getting this?
Klisz:
I’ll never tell you the BLO encryption method.
...alright, I will. spammimic.com
Qwazukee:
I see how you get tunafish going backwards, but I can’t get it going forwards; I have no idea how Yoda came up with tunafish in the first place.
Klisz:
Same here. By the way, my encrypted message is “all your base are belong to spartaaaaa”. I don’t remember how many A’s I put in the word Sparta.
Yoda:
When you decrypt the spam, you have to make sure all the ‘s and “s are plain text. It’s actually quite a pain.
Klisz:
What do you mean by “plain text”?
Klisz:
Never mind, figured it out.
Yoda:
Like I said… quite a pain.
Klisz:
Not really, if you use Ctrl+H (in Notepad).
Klisz:
Or Wordpad.
Qwazukee:
5 a’s. That was annoying to do.
Klisz:

Qwazukee:
Not another one! Unless this is our new one.
Klisz:
The thing I just posted is Yoda’s idea of GNO’s new method.
Qwazukee:
Perfect! I can’t understand it at all.
Klisz:
It translates to the same thing as my example BLO string: all your base are belong to spartaaaaa.
Yoda:
Don’t give away all our secrets…
Wakukee:
just adjust the code slightly.
Klisz:
Oh come on. I didn’t say how to decrypt it, I just decrypted it for Qwazukee. No problem with that.
Klisz:
Plus, the code is so flexible, the same lines could be very different and translate to the same thing.
Klisz:
That, and the code slightly changed.
arthexis:
Some members of BLO have requested the encryption method, and I’ve sent it to them. While Yoda got some of it right, there is more meaning to this than it looks at first.
Klisz:
Sure there is…
Wakukee:
“tunafish” = secret codeword for “invade GNO and bring them down from the inside.”
