Games in SL
Submitted by Hermit Barber on Sat, 2010-07-10 01:35
Yay! After mysteriously receiving an encyphered notecard from some people, I finally spoke to Kiana Writer who created it and now understand what she is doing. Immersive games in SL. As I have bored those who know me explaining why this is really, really important for SL to grow, I was delighted. Especially when I discover that she has a game about Darwin. Her website is at http://www.madpeagames.com and it looks absolutely fascinating. Expect a review as soon as I can visit and try them. In the meantime, here is her notecard about the activities she is engaged in.

For those nuts sending me a cypher called Love4 by Kiana Writer containing:
xlivi ampp epaecw fi e wtigmep tpegi mr qc lievx jsv gevqmri. wli aew xli jmvwx sri als viepmdih xlex izivcxlmrk aew rsx ew mx aew wyttswih xs fi sr xli mwperh. er sap geqi xs liv mr liv wpiit erh wli wea e zmwmsr xlex hmzmhih xli mwperhivw. jsv e psrk xmqi wli leh xs lmhi erh srpc xiegl e wtigmep kvsyt sj yw als aivi fipmizivw. wli xeyklx qi izivcxlmrk efsyx qekmg erh tsxmsrw. gevqmri lew tewwih eaec e psrk xmqi eks, fyx liv wtmvmx ampp epaecw fi livi xs aevr yw.
without telling me why, if you really want the decyphered text scroll down:
How I solved it.
I put the original text into an editor (I use vi) and changed one letter at a time. If the original hadn't already been in lowercase. I would have made it lowercase. As I swapped letters, I swapped to capitals so as to make it easy to see what was done.. A and I are your best friends as you will not see other letters standing alone in standard English. Then try AN, AS, BE, HE, IF, IS, MY and TO on two letter words. Next address the three letter clusters looking for AND and THE (which are likely to occur quite frequently) along with CAN, FOR, ALL (a good one because the double is easy to spot), HER, HIM, SHE, YOU and WILL (another yummy double though a W isn't as helpful as an A). Here we had a BOX too, so don't let less frequent words fool you.
A 5 letter word at the beginning of a sentence might well start with a "T", which is a very common letter anyway. So I tried that.
Tlivi ampp epaecw fi e wtigmep tpegi mr qc lievT jsv gevqmri. wli aew Tli jmvwT sri als viepmdih TleT izivcTlmrk aew rsT ew mT aew wyttswih Ts fi sr Tli mwperh. er sap geqi Ts liv mr liv wpiit erh wli wea e zmwmsr TleT hmzmhih Tli mwperhivw. jsv e psrk Tmqi wli leh Ts lmhi erh srpc Tiegl e wtigmep kvsyt sj yw als aivi fipmizivw. wli TeyklT qi izivcTlmrk efsyT qekmg erh tsTmsrw. gevqmri lew tewwih eaec e psrk Tmqi eks, fyT liv wtmvmT ampp epaecw fi livi Ts aevr yw.
A 2 letter word starting with "T" might have "o" behind it. And a 3 letter word starting with "T" is probably "the". So:
THEvE ampp epaecw fE e wtEgmep tpegE mr qc HEevT jOv gevqmrE. wHE aew THE jmvwT OrE aHO vEepmdEh THeT EzEvcTHmrk aew rOT ew mT aew wyttOwEh TO fE Or THE mwperh. er Oap geqE TO HEv mr HEv wpEEt erh wHE wea e zmwmOr THeT hmzmhEh THE mwperhEvw. jOv e pOrk TmqE wHE Heh TO HmhE erh Orpc TEegH e wtEgmep kvOyt Oj yw aHO aEvE fEpmEzEvw. wHE TeykHT qE EzEvcTHmrk efOyT qekmg erh tOTmOrw. gevqmrE Hew tewwEh eaec e pOrk TmqE ekO, fyT HEv wtmvmT ampp epaecw fE HEvE TO aevr yw.
A 5 letter word "THEvE" is probably "there" and "HEevT" likely "heart":
THERE ampp ApaAcw fE A wtEgmAp tpAgE mr qc HEART jOR gARqmrE. wHE aAw THE jmRwT OrE aHO REApmdEh THAT EzERcTHmrk aAw rOT Aw mT aAw wyttOwEh TO fE Or THE mwpArh. Ar Oap gAqE TO HER mr HER wpEEt Arh wHE wAa A zmwmOr THAT hmzmhEh THE mwpArhERw. jOR A pOrk TmqE wHE HAh TO HmhE Arh Orpc TEAgH A wtEgmAp kROyt Oj yw aHO aERE fEpmEzERw. wHE TAykHT qE EzERcTHmrk AfOyT qAkmg Arh tOTmOrw. gARqmrE HAw tAwwEh AaAc A pOrk TmqE AkO, fyT HER wtmRmT ampp ApaAcw fE HERE TO aARr yw.
"wHE" is maybe "she", "jOR" perhaps "for", "wAS" likely "has" (which didn't work) or "was" (which did)
THERE Wmpp ApWAcS fE A StEgmAp tpAgE mr qc HEART FOR gARqmrE. SHE WAS THE FmRST OrE WHO REApmdEh THAT EzERcTHmrk WAS rOT AS mT WAS SyttOSEh TO fE Or THE mSpArh. Ar OWp gAqE TO HER mr HER SpEEt Arh SHE SAW A zmSmOr THAT hmzmhEh THE mSpArhERS. FOR A pOrk TmqE SHE HAh TO HmhE Arh Orpc TEAgH A StEgmAp kROyt OF yS WHO WERE fEpmEzERS. SHE TAykHT qE EzERcTHmrk AfOyT qAkmg Arh tOTmOrS. gARqmrE HAS tASSEh AWAc A pOrk TmqE AkO, fyT HER StmRmT Wmpp ApWAcS fE HERE TO WARr yS.
If "ApWAcS fE" is "always be" then "Wmpp" is probably "will"
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A StEgIAL tLAgE Ir qY HEART FOR gARqIrE. SHE WAS THE FIRST OrE WHO REALIdEh THAT EzERYTHIrk WAS rOT AS IT WAS SyttOSEh TO BE Or THE ISLArh. Ar OWL gAqE TO HER Ir HER SLEEt Arh SHE SAW A zISIOr THAT hIzIhEh THE ISLArhERS. FOR A LOrk TIqE SHE HAh TO HIhE Arh OrLY TEAgH A StEgIAL kROyt OF yS WHO WERE BELIEzERS. SHE TAykHT qE EzERYTHIrk ABOyT qAkIg Arh tOTIOrS. gARqIrE HAS tASSEh AWAY A LOrk TIqE AkO, ByT HER StIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO WARr yS.
Now "StEgIAL" is "special", "Ir" "in", "qY" "my", "OrE" is "one", "REALIdEh" realized and "EzERYTHIrk" must be "everything"
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR CARMINE. SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE WHO REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING WAS NOT AS IT WAS SyPPOSED TO BE ON THE ISLAND. AN OWL CAME TO HER IN HER SLEEP AND SHE SAW A VISION THAT DIVIDED THE ISLANDERS. FOR A LONG TIME SHE HAD TO HIDE AND ONLY TEACH A SPECIAL GROyP OF yS WHO WERE BELIEVERS. SHE TAyGHT ME EVERYTHING ABOyT MAGIC AND POTIONS. CARMINE HAS PASSED AWAY A LONG TIME AGO, ByT HER SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO WARN yS.
Now it gets easy. "SyPPOSED" is "supposed" and it was solved:
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR CARMINE. SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE WHO REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING WAS NOT AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE ISLAND. AN OWL CAME TO HER IN HER SLEEP AND SHE SAW A VISION THAT DIVIDED THE ISLANDERS. FOR A LONG TIME SHE HAD TO HIDE AND ONLY TEACH A SPECIAL GROUP OF US WHO WERE BELIEVERS. SHE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING ABOUT MAGIC AND POTIONS. CARMINE HAS PASSED AWAY A LONG TIME AGO, BUT HER SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO WARN US.
