frequency analysis is just looking at which letters appear the most. you can infer a handful of letters based on that alone, but it's trivial to figure out entire words based on context

good ol' notepad always does the trick



but yeah, I didn't realize kaho wasn't encoded. oops

I'm not super familiar with Frequency Analysis. Walk me through and explain how you translated it please

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

I remember hearing something about al bhed, but I have no clue what it is. I just used frequency analysis and figured it out myself
and I completely forgot about what you said in the signup thread. I haven't been taking much of what was said in the signup thread into consideration, really

All this in addition that I asked for a reads list and youre ignoring doing one

At least tell me straight you won't make one if that's the case!

xel (geny?)

That's amazing
(Kaho is Xel's updated, current name on socials)

yeah, now that I think about it, there's no way someone as experienced as lar would pull something like this and not expect someone to figure it out

I think I just got played

for, like, the third time in a row

How did you come to realize it was Al Bhed to begin with, Arp

Because if you just knew it was Al Bhed, you'd refer to it that way. If you saw T-Force explain it in thread, you'd know I mentioned it to Xel in sign ups as a way to avoid the censors and could figure out I'm doing it as a gas. If you read it in sign ups, you'd know the previous sentence's worth of info

But you seem to think it was something deeper and I don't see how a town would read the thread, figure out how to translate it, but not realize the context on why I used it

*try to solve it

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

you can't just give me a cipher and expect me not to solve it! that's disgraceful!

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

so, uh, either lar and xel (geny?) are partners in crime, or this is some elaborate plan to fool anyone with a basic knowledge of cryptography

both seem equally likely, but I think I'm dead tonight either way

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

oh, that wasn't a trick; my brain just interpreted the sentence structure weirdly

[MixMasterLar]

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

I'm saying I can change my mind on killing you if your readlist sucks

[Arp!]

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

okay I know what substitution ciphers are but I have no clue what that means lmao

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

you're not interested in killing me off? that's relieving, I guess

Take subject to be outdated pending on your reads list
