Besides loathing around waiting for a warhead to be dropped?

I thought this was a launch code encryption, also id partake but im stupid

Re: 3svgl/rhzp()gz12kmuuzs5fyeseeneymi.

However, it may be the case that the positions of each character in the original message is used in the encryption as well. Or, it may be a simple substitution cipher, however, maybe each "block" (i.e. section separated by numbers/symbols) is encrypted differently based on those numbers/symbols.

I thinking the same thing about the positions. More variables are necessary to make two different letters map to the same letter and vice versa, and that's an easy variable to use. About the symbols, though ...

A hint to all: everything that isn't letters isn't part of the cipher; stop trying to decode it as part of it, or you're going to turn your brain into a pickle.

(added punctuation for clarity)
"Not part of the cipher" is a little vague, depending on your understanding of the word. The cipher is the algorithm, so maybe it means that they do not play a part in the decryption method. If the symbols are not part of the ciphertext, then they could be related to the cipher, but they are not symbols that get shifted. Would be nice if they really are the correct spaces and nothing more.

There is definitely math & functions behind this.

Anyway, this makes me believe that to get from the input to the output, there's some kind of function of the position of the original letter in the alphabet and in the message. That the "first clue is already given" makes me think that at least of the words in the first few sentences in the OP should be in the thread title. I was trying things like this game, this code, thread, and codebreaker, which fit into the "symbols being spaces" thing. ("Codebreaker" would be an odd last word in a sentence, so I was trying things backwards, too.) Wasn't able to come up with anything though. The distance between the input and the output might be the remainder of some larger number divided by 26. Haven't taken into consideration yet any kind of reordering. Having to guess at both that and the shifting function would be a loooot of guessing and checking.

You got 56 hours, 19 minutes, and 34 seconds remaining.

Codebreaker reuben is the closest right now to solving the code.

Codebreakers are now at 45,000 credits.
reuben_tate: 20,000
Celos: 15,000
DossarLX ODI: 10,000

Just like a nerd's math test reuben you got a lot of stuff right and some stuff wrong.

Re: 3svgl/rhzp()gz12kmuuzs5fyeseeneymi.

I was thinking about taking into account the position of each letter in the message (and not just the position in the alphabet) but I didnt try anything yet in that regard since I didn't want to try anything too obscure yet.

Anyways, I've taken into account the position of each letter in the alphabet. If c is a character, and ord(c) is the position of the letter of the alphabet with a starting at 0, I've tried applying the following function to each character for every possible choice of A and B:
f(c) = char( (A*ord(c) + B) mod 26 ) where char(n) is the letter with the nth position in the alphabet and n mod 26 is the remainder when n is divided by 26.

When A=1, the above function turns into a regular Caesar shift so I've already looked at that and when B=0, it becomes a basic multiplicative cipher so I've looked at all of those as well. Anyways, I looked at every possible choice of A and B but didn't get anything meaningful yet.

Edit: ninja'd by gold's post, thanks for the update!

Re: 3svgl/rhzp()gz12kmuuzs5fyeseeneymi.

Can I get a confirmation on whether or not reuben_tate got his credits? I may own an evil empire with the goal of enslaving the human race but at least I'm honest.

I swore I sent 20,000 with the message of "You are about one third the way there" but it's not showing up in my credit transfer log.

I may own an evil empire with the goal of enslaving the human race but at least I'm honest.

That's very heartwarming :')

Anyways, I didn't get the credits yet, I was thinking for a sec it was one of those things where I have to wait until the conclusion of the event to obtain them.

get paid

Time is running out, you call yourselves codebreakers when you can't even crack one little sentence?

[gold stinger]

Re: 3svgl/rhzp()gz12kmuuzs5fyeseeneymi.

Fine. If you all really need some help, I changed a couple of dead ends in the big sentence. Doesn't change the answer one bit.

Yes I know, I'm much too kind. Don't expect such kindness in the future.

You called us the codebreakers, we never said as such.

I prefer the side of evil more then the side of good.
I'm more curious what city you're attacking then stopping the nuke.

Also, I found another bag of Skittles™.

Lovely, colorful Skittles™.
