is lifted directly from a (now defunct, damn hotmail) webmail address I set up when I went world travelling for the first time. Before the account died, I used it for signing up to a few forums and maillist games (anyone ever played Nomics) so it kinda stuck as a forum name. I don't use it for Defco...

The code probably has to be read downwards - note that there's 5 words in each line, there's possibly some pattern as to what number of letter to take from what number of word. It's not something I have time to figure out atm though - I won't be back before late afternoon or evening (though I might...

I had this idea a while ago, and tried it out in Diplomacy the other day. It's only useful in Diplo, preferably Premium Diplomacy. Basically, the plan is to place your silos directly on top of major cities. This is quite easy to do with the exception of Africa and SA. Also, put airbases on cities an...

/me doesn't have photoshop. Cries. I'd been doing my head in looking at vectors of 26, morse code, the lot! Classic steganography though, by the sounds of it. Did I give anyone a clue? Did I? Did I?

Firstly, whoa? Secondly, I don't believe you. It's not independently verifiable (at least not by me). Show working pls. Also, who / what was your help? Thirdly, even if you didn't just fabricate this, what AgentX24 said. Special would seem to imply either Assassin, Security Officer or Cryptographer....

@maximus, no I did mean Lead Agent. The DA does not count as an agent. Ah, see, here was when I was confused Double Agent: In replacement of the Seer. All the wolves rules apply to him ... Could you please update the front page to clarify? This might all of a sudden become very important if n(agent...

does this mean that everyone who claims to be someone important should be culled? Essentially, yes. Because if they are telling the truth, they are pretty much nerfed (*) once the agents know who they are (with the exception of the cryptographer who will give us a free translation upon death). And ...

Of course he could be speaking in generic terms, and we're all reading too far into this, but if the DA is still alive then we've got to find out who it really is.... Now you are sounding suspicious again. Surely we want to keep the DA alive, and hence secret, for the following reasons. * He could ...

Yeah, but I wasn't taking the Ace was the DA theory very seriously ...

*Looks back to Day start post* Wooops! My bad. I meant the game does not end in in an Agent victory while the DA is alive. ORLY? I thought that the DA counted towards the number of agents for the purposes of agents = commies at the end of the game In that case it seems that the agents really are ne...

And of course you've been making unpleasant noises towards my own loyalty. if you hadn't approached me claiming to be an agent I wouldn't have played along and tried to lure you into a trap. :P well only because you so enthusiastically tried to throw yourself into mine :P It seems that we have two ...

ok, so here it goes: Yes i am the cryptographer and no, i don't have clue who to kill. the only two people who knew my identity before neo spilled the beans were bert and tripper. so one of the leaked or neo just figured it out himself. either way, i don't have a clue what to make out of all this a...

Ha! NeoThermic's post was quite revealing. I am tempted to believe that Bert is either an agent or the double agent, and NeoThermic is the opposite. However, Kunshu and I, despite our PMs to various people, are most certainly not. For the socialist lulz .... As a loyal commie with nothing to give to...

NeoThermic
See? Correct captialisation comrades. The least that I can do for our suspicious stowaway.

In my view (and I"ve been PMing all over the shop, as a lot of you might know) Bert is perfectly loyal.

Just looking at that code I could swear it says Tripper. Hang on and I'll see if I can show it. Edit: Here it is. I did it in red for red herring as it seems too obvious, but the fact that the r's and the p's are identical patterns suggests its not completely random. http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08201/...
