    1. @metaltao I must be doing this wrong!

      1. @metaltao I still don't understand what's going on

        1. @thewaifutyphoon I am supposed ti decode something... AND I am doing it so wrong... Am I supposed to do the reveres or something? I WILL NOT GIVE UP!

          1. @metaltao I have no idea. I thought I was doing pretty well getting ROT-13 to work.

          2. @metaltao Everything is fine. Did you look at the Wikipedia page I sent?

            1. @loveydoe Yeah, I have it in another window and i am tryiing to decode it in another doc! This is time consuming!

            2. @loveydoe But I made progress though.

              1. @metaltao After a while, one might get faster at decoding this, even without a cheat sheet. Then the real fun would begin.

                1. @loveydoe I am wondering what the secret message is! *rubs hands together* THIS WILL BE SO COOL!

                  1. @metaltao Any typographical feature can be used to distinguish As from Bs. You might choose to make your As italicized instead of capitalized, even.

                  3. @metaltao Imagine each five letters of the encoded message as a discrete block. Change every capital letter to an A. Change every lowercase letter to a B. Then, compare each of the five-letter-long chunks of As and Bs to the chart on that Wikipedia page.

                    1. @loveydoe OH! I thought I was to translate each letter to it's translation on the sheet!

                      1. @metaltao No wait...

                      2. @metaltao *facepalms* Hold up!

                        1. @metaltao It should say 'helo', which is hello, but much easier in this code.

                          1. @loveydoe YEAH! I saw that! THIS SO MUCH FUN!

                            1. @metaltao It would be trivial to write a computer program to decode and encode these. I like the manual way, though. Now we can transmit slips of information without them being obvious to people who don't want to hear them.

                              1. @loveydoe THIS IS SO BADASS! But, Red would know... But I am sure he wouldn't go sharing this to anyone!

                                Monday, 28-Jul-14 07:15:57 UTC from web
                                1. @metaltao Yeah because only Red out of the hundreds of users can read these posts
