@metaltao Is that how my message appears on your end?
-
@loveydoe Yup!
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:27:57 UTC from web-
@metaltao How strange. It is meant to be this, except with caps in places they shouldn't be: Apply the cipher on this

Is that happening automatically?
-
@loveydoe Like when I Apply the "Unlock spoiler" button?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:32:19 UTC from web-
@metaltao Some day I'm going to remove that button and just make spoilers reveal themselves upon mouseover/click.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:32:54 UTC from web-
@redenchilada THAT WOULD BE SO BAD ASS! Or you could just hi-ligh them with your mouse TRY IT
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:33:50 UTC from web-
@metaltao Yeah but having a way to formally unhide them is still a good idea. If only for mobile users.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:34:27 UTC from web-
@redenchilada True, true! VERY TRUE!

@metaltao Ah. When my message appeared, you should have applied the 'Bacon cipher', which is different than the spoilers button.
-
@loveydoe mmm bacon

@loveydoe it looks normal to me, but Metaltao is hitting the decode spoilers button

@loveydoe Apply the cipher on this.

@metaltao The message you just sent me would be decoded as 'q' followed by three copies of a letter that doesn't exist.

@redenchilada murdock!

@redenchilada So, hypothetically, would it still break site rules if someone roleplayed by disguising their roleplay behind messages that are relevant, using this cipher?
-
@loveydoe If you have enough free time going to waste to roleplay behind a cipher as obnoxious as that instead of going elsewhere, none of the staff probably cares enough to try and stop you.
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:47:21 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Wouldn't be a waste. Would be totally fun. The cipher has a great property: No coded letters start with BB. One could use BB--- sequences as predefined shorthand for certain words, like 'the', 'and', and 'with'.
-
@redenchilada You would only get 8 different shorthand words, unfortunately!

@metaltao AAAAA ABBBA ABBBA ABABA BABBA Like this?
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:38:28 UTC from web-
@metaltao That says 'apply'. Now, the trick is to replace each A with a capital letter and each B with a lowercase letter. Make it read as though it says something else, when the real message is hidden in which letters are capitalized.
-
@loveydoe OK! So only the capitals? Decode the capitals...
Monday, 28-Jul-14 06:40:35 UTC from web-
@metaltao Decode everything, but decode each capital as an A and each lowercase as a B. Then translate that using the cipher. AABBB would be 'h', for example

@loveydoe OH, that's the cipher that the Aryan Brotherhood used to order hits on people in other prisons, I saw it in a documentary
