Forums → Art, Music, and Writing → Cryptic Media Resolutions: Pictures of Words without Context

The excerpt is intentionally written with an increasing number of typographical errors, beginning with "neitehr" and "Thjngs" (ignoring pyxrts and pexhns, for now) but quickly building up to general nonsense. This might be cryptic to someone with severe dyslexia, but otherwise it is only trivial. Were this actually typewritten, I could say that you pieced resolution 1 together from fragments of this text, but that would be redundant in this case. I could give you a far more cryptic message using a simple compression.

I gave an answer to a question that hadn't been asked that clarifies an answer to a question that wasn't given one.

Would that be an arabic math textbook?

@MattEmAngel If you're trying to find the relationship between the Revelation and the Resolution, you're over-thinking it. If you're trying to find the meaning behind the Revelation, I'm not sure it will mean much to you or make much sense at this point given what is there and what has been posted, but I did hide a few Easter eggs in there like the phone number for Ghostbusters.

@FishPreferred You're thinking too short term.

Impressive master bunny.

Text: Dr. Tom Weathersby and I had been conducting research on pyxrts for several months now. Three weeks ago, on a Saturday, we accidentally discovered unusual aspects of applying lasers to cubic pexhns. Match. It was little things that were mostly unnoticeable, but neitehr one of us could figure how it worked. Thjngs were less likely, or perhaps cared for by crtptos. katydid notice.

So, when should we expect the encryption algorithm?

Brilliant.

I just gave you the encryption algorithm, but it'll probably be easier to solve if you gave you the encrypted message. That's what the first Revelation is, but since I do love my wordplay and multiple meanings, that's not the only thing it means. There are other clues to the plot, but yeah, I'm not giving anything (else) away.

Revelation #2
Text: Sixteen
1. Drink only the rain
2. Emotion is weakness
3. People will fail
4. People will falter
5. Fire is safety
6. Hesitation is Death
7. Apathy is clarity
8. Wishes are worthless
9. Pain is strength
10. Eat zero meat
11. Follow the Cirle
12. Alarm is harm
13. Scrub your wounds
14. Instinct is Truth
15. Knife is Life

Ah, okay! There is no ciphertext. [Irrelevant, but a cipher is the algorithm and a ciphertext is the output.] What I have is a message (Resolution #1) and an "output" (Revelation #1) but there's no mathematical algorithm so the output isn't static.

Lachrymology. (If you looked it up, no, Tool didn't make it up. They only popularized it.) 16 = lachrymology.

If you look at the first letter of 1-4, you'll see Gantic has a hidden love for the work of actor Johnny Depp. The rest is irrelevant.

Hahaha, you guys are close. The first set should be figured out soon enough. I did make one small mistake (that I've noticed) but I don't think it has a big impact. Wish I could edit mistakes, but I can't.

There are some plot clues that are so "obscure" that they wouldn't make any sense yet, but I don't think anyone has stumbled upon them yet even after I dropped a hint. They (mostly) don't matter yet, but they are fun little things. Sure, there's one that basically is one almost-sort-of giant message clue to how message is encoded, and then maybe the plot clues would make sense, but yeah.

@69_69_69:

I have no idea what it means, but it seems true. Is this possible? Someone please answer me. Most 16 year olds act like this, or feel like this, but not all of them. I (even though I'm ashamed to admit it), have had the stereotypical teenage feelings listed above. I'm still ashamed. Don't remind me.

You're going to need to word your questions more carefully if you want a useful answer.

Task? No. There aren't any instructions here.
Sixteenth entry? Why wouldn't there be? Nothing's stopping me from titling it fifteen or fourteen. There aren't any intentional red herrings here if you're trying to figure the hidden messages.
