Thanks! I’m actually still in pain from doing all three rounds of the Sparatcus. My ass feels like it’s getting punched every time I sit down.
Alright, so whats the key?

I will make sure to use Tribal Liberation Force encryption algorithms next time so that it presents more challenge for you.
Well, I don’t get it.
I am sure Roc will enlighten you when he is ready. 😉
The CONCORD Database cracked this on the firs try Roc. I hope you don’t use this when telling secrets about the Amarr.
I looked up the word gurnger thinking you had misspelled it. Then I came to realize you speak the Queens English and not American. The Wikipedia article on the difference made me wonder how the hell you kept that part of your spelling correct then I realized I didn’t care because I have one grammar rule there and you have two.
ANYWAYS, Great story but it missed…. N tbbq nccrnenapr bs Ebp Jvryre. Maybe in a sequel?

Hmmm, I will look into making this more challenging for sure. I really didn’t expect such a good response from my readers. Shame on me for doubting.

Yeah, I will post it decoded in a few days for those that missed out on the ROT-13 encryption.
Get notepad++. In the TextFX menu there is a rot13 encrypt/decrypt.
you could also run it through this after selecting 13

that should have been “tr ‘A-Za-z’ ‘N-ZA-Mn-za-m’ < ciphertext > plaintext”
