CODE 18 DISCUSSION

[ripe relic]

So, what's the code?

[gloomy turret]

ur killin me smalls

[normal wyvern]

We aren’t friends Sally.

[quasi plank]

crying

[proper ether]

i'm going on strike

[quasi plank]

as a member of the sacarver district i am so upset

[ebon igloo]

"so, whats the code" i hate you

[quasi plank]

this is so long

[inland abyss]

Bishop

[ebon igloo]

this is really really long

[quasi plank]

thank god we have a week for this

[proper ether]

try all the ciphers

[quasi plank]

💀

[proper ether]

i cant

i'm gonna lose it

[ebon igloo]

its in my notes app because im on mobile and im like damn this is gonna look cryptic af if someone sees this later💀

[delicate trail]

this one is really not hard trust me

[proper ether]

https://www.dcode.fr/vigenere-cipher

[proper ether]

i cant

[ebon igloo]

me when i lie on the internet for fun (/j j j)

[gloomy turret]

i do not trust you

[proper ether]

tommy

you did the website with us

help

[feral palm]

all but EMUHEQEHRL_ECABGBG which is the only one that repeats

[magic venture]

If you count the a-' things as numbers then do a1z26, you get fnaf for the first 4 letters (/gen)

[wild pendant]

NICO [RESTRICTED_CONTENT]

thats what the first line says

[magic venture]

How the fuck did you get that

[feral palm]

im assuming each of these have different values for the shift if it is one

[wild pendant]

vigenere cipher

[proper ether]

ong

see im smart

[timid prism]

huh

[wild pendant]

second one makes less sense so far

but im seeing two words pop up

"hesitant" and "andre"

[proper ether]

thank you scorn

[feral palm]

im either stupid or blind cus this aint workin for me

[magic venture]

Running it through an auto translation gave me

"Will" "would" and "it's awesome" 💀

[proper ether]

THIS IS NOT AWESOME

[proper ether]

i hate port

[timid prism]

aaaaaaaaaa

[magic venture]

itsawesome is not an answer

[ebon igloo]

yeah bc its not awesome smh😭😭

[magic venture]

I hit translate and smth weird happened

[feral palm]

what

[thorny venture]

fuck the audio

im moving onto this

[magic venture]

The screenshots break where the text is broken

Here it is unbroken

I have no idea what happened

[gloomy turret]

help

[delicate trail]

how did you get this

[magic venture]

I DONT KNOW

I CLICKED TRANSLATE AND IT GOT ALL WEIRD

[leaden knoll]

wait which cypher are yall using

[thorny venture]

dont know

if i counted right

[proper ether]

try vignere and ceasar

if its not that

[thorny venture]

theres squar counts

EMUHEQEHRL_ECABGBG appears in there 58 times

[proper ether]

what does it mean

[thorny venture]

i dont know

[proper ether]

also i enjoy the fact that you're also participating in this even though you have all the answers

[thorny venture]

im honestly not sure which one corresponds to what

and not at all sure how to get there

so im just

kinda ignoring that

[proper ether]

yeah. we would be lost without you rn

because it seems like verified is asleep rn

[thorny venture]

other than helping break things down a lil

idk what help im really helping with lol

[proper ether]

you're helping way more than anyone else is

[storm lichen]

The boxes must mean something but I'm not sure what. I was thinking maybe the number of spaces coresponds to something. maybe the bishop. Sometimes there's too many so I was thinking song number and the bishop that goes with but that doesn't always work either

[thorny venture]

damn

[storm lichen]

Also I tried Vingere on all the other ones with each Bishop and it didn't seem to be that. So each one might be a different code or I need to try different keys

without the squares and the one phrease repeated 58 times

those are the other sections of letters

[wild pendant]

remember, the one that repeats the most is NICO [RESTRICTED_CONTENT]

[leaden knoll]

is that the one thats "EMUHEQEHRL_ECABGBG" or is that different

[storm lichen]

Yea

[thorny venture]

EMUHEQEHRL_ECABGBG
RESTRICTED_CONTENT

hm

how

[leaden knoll]

that may help

[thorny venture]

it would have to be like

[magic venture]

Maybe a substitution cipher?

[thorny venture]

affine

maybe?

[leaden knoll]

if thats the cipher

hmm

[solemn hollow]

oh this is where you guys are

[wild pendant]

i threw it in the vigenere cipher and thats what it spat out

[thorny venture]

how the fuck did i just

[timid prism]

hi gabe

[thorny venture]

not try that

[magic venture]

YVCOYGEOPVEZLG

//o///r///r//g

[thorny venture]

thats like the one cipher i didnt try here???

[gloomy turret]

help.

[solemn hollow]

can't

idk how

plus i already the answers

[thorny venture]

and

trust me, thats no help 💀

ok so

try Vigenere with the other ones

using bishop names

?

[gloomy turret]

nothing

i tried every bishop name with that second set of letters

[thorny venture]

are you sure

[leaden knoll]

im very perplexed

[thorny venture]

try PVNZLVPMLGEMYVCOPICONINQAKNBAKPQNVNOPGEO with NICO*

[wild pendant]

XVLZUALVTGCMHAYXXIAOWNJZIKLBJPLZVVLOYLAX

whoops meant to reply to your most recent one

[thorny venture]

what

SORRY

I MEANT NICO

i had sacarver typed in

and went to run it before i realized

i had run nico

[storm lichen]

CNLLYNNYYYCYLNAACAAAAALCNCLNNCNCANLACYCA

[thorny venture]

like

[gloomy turret]

this is like clany jumpled

yeah

[thorny venture]

that has to be something

[storm lichen]

Maybe

[leaden knoll]

oh i didnt get that lmao

[thorny venture]

that cannot be coincidence

[leaden knoll]

which site are yall using

[steep coral]

@delicate trail do 16-20 have to be redeemed in order

[thorny venture]

omfg are they all with NICO

[steep coral]

or can any of them be guessed at any time

[thorny venture]

no

[steep coral]

okay

[thorny venture]

if they were supposed to be

well

oops

sacarver doenst check that

[steep coral]

LOL

[magic venture]

... I think it says ||Clancy anally||

[thorny venture]

i dont think it does!

[magic venture]

||an anally clancy||

[feral palm]

i already sent this grrrr

[thorny venture]

sucks

[feral palm]

it was upside down but yk i did send it

[wild pendant]

the only ones that arent...

WHPGWSRGNHRRJS and LHCTWSRTYUNE and JUNTJWRGLU

[timid prism]

clanky

[gloomy turret]

all of them individually translate to clancy

like if you dont do all of them together

[leaden knoll]

i tried it but clancy isnt one of the codes

[gloomy turret]

are the codes halloween related

or top related

[storm lichen]

We don't know

[leaden knoll]

im pretty sure its halloween

[storm lichen]

I would imagine Top

[thorny venture]

ok so

[storm lichen]

Well

[thorny venture]

this is if i paste in the entire chunk

[leaden knoll]

but like top halloween if that makes sense?

[thorny venture]

yeah what audre said

[storm lichen]

Yea

[timid prism]

wild

[normal wyvern]

Some very interesting yodeling

[feral palm]

CODE 20 IS ASPENRAWR

I JUST GOT IT

[normal wyvern]

Hahaha

[leaden knoll]

lmaoooo

[normal wyvern]

Secretly the codes are just port admitting he has a discord kitten

[feral palm]

yes

[thorny venture]

💀

[feral palm]

lmao

dumbass

[thorny venture]

so this is all the text replaced with their vigenere ciphers

im not sure what to make of it from here

[wild pendant]

thats where we're at with all of them so far

[thorny venture]

[wild pendant]

x2 just dm me the answers and ill reverse engineer them

[feral palm]

retweet

[gloomy turret]

missing letters are y c l in 5 7 and 9

[thorny venture]

no

[storm lichen]

So the question is do we solve with the new letters or the old letters for the 3 we have left

Anybody have any luck so far?

[thorny venture]

well

i thought maybe

take the number of squares

and use that to come up with letters

[feral palm]

"everything and everyone has a name" still kinda confuses me with this tho

[thorny venture]

with like A=1, B=2,C=3 etc

and then

taking that into vigenere with CLANCY

i thought it would get something

but that returned dcppgfzvapahpuhneeapcoagzacngddtawceisbucfkxaohdmqjsymcygrbgircpafz

[timid prism]

yep that’s it

[storm lichen]

I think the most squares is like 14 tho

[feral palm]

yo thats drag path lyrics

[storm lichen]

That's not very many letters.

I was thinking they were numbers maybe

Either the squares or the spaces

[thorny venture]

16

[feral palm]

Sixteen missed calls
Sorry, I was busy, but I missed you (Busy but i missed you)
If you see me ballin' then my bitch ball

[thorny venture]

18

18 is the highest

[timid prism]

oh

it updated

“wait who are you again”

[thorny venture]

im x2110311x

i dont think that helps

[timid prism]

im salsa

[quasi plank]

i tried iamclancy

i tried bandito

[timid prism]

i tried clancy

[dusk lance]

i’m sophie

does that help

[timid prism]

soapie

yes

[thorny venture]

should

we

try citizen

[timid prism]

we should try anything atp

[quasi plank]

nope

it wasn't citizen

[storm lichen]

Well the name probably just helps with the code

I would imagine

[quasi plank]

maybe clancy is some kind of key

[thorny venture]

thats what im thinking

[mint urchin]

wait

keons sacarver listo lisden reisdro vetomo andre nico nills

kallrvann

eaiieenii

ocssitdcl

wait nvm

sronooeos

nvm thought this could be something super simple

[mint urchin]

wait what’s that one lyric about giving themselves names to something something

it’s 3am bear with me

like nicknames they give themselves to uninspire

[dusk lance]

like nicknames they give themselves to uninspire

[feral palm]

uninspire

[dusk lance]

bandito

[feral palm]

meow

[mint urchin]

yeah

[feral palm]

meow

[mint urchin]

anything we could do with that

seems a bit surface level compared to the other ones so i doubt it

[trim gorge]

bandy toe

[steep coral]

was this one solved

by anyone

[mint urchin]

not as far as i’m aware

[timid prism]

yeah me

[steep coral]

I don’t believe you

[timid prism]

wow

[mint urchin]

i’ve just been in this situation trying nonsense while the smart people actually work

[lyric glen]

i was lurking in #codebreaking watching you try codes

youve been working hard at it haha

[mint urchin]

😭

i have no clue what i’m doing

doesnt help that it’s 3 in the morning

[lyric glen]

real im lost

the 3 available codes are intimidating

[mint urchin]

yeah

bro these guys are so smart wtf

i mean it’s mostly music they’re doing

and i can’t read music like that

i can listen to it and play it but not much else

this one’s different tho

[lyric glen]

yeah real

[lyric glen]

im assuming this is the last they reached with this

cred: x2 just dragging it down

[mint urchin]

yeah i literally just opened the text file

didn’t even see that imma be real

[lyric glen]

i read the chat to see where they reached im not doing ti from scratch lol

i was thinking maybe counting the letters somehow was the next step?

Everything and everyone has a name: Lisden, Reisdro, Nills... Once you learn this, it all becomes as bright as sunshine, dear!

[mint urchin]

yeah no clue

sherlock is rolling in his grave

[lyric glen]

also dragging this down

[mint urchin]

are we sure we haven’t worked this one out yet?

thought there’d be more activity

[lyric glen]

i think theyre working on the music one

ok what im doing feels wrong idk

so

[timid prism]

hi

[lyric glen]

hi salsa

[timid prism]

i have no idea where to start here

[mint urchin]

we got a whole lot of nothing so far

well

[lyric glen]

let me tell you where theyre at

[mint urchin]

we made some progress but nothing substantial

[timid prism]

we were given some codes

[lyric glen]

they put this (which now idk where it came from) in a vigenere decoder (each line individually)

[lyric glen]

and it gave this

[delicate trail]

well

you guys know it was something to do with clancy.

[lyric glen]

[mint urchin]

do we?

[timid prism]

samn

[mint urchin]

well we know now

[timid prism]

we did

[mint urchin]

i’m barely functioning atm so i don’t even know

[timid prism]

i am cancer

[lyric glen]

my first thought process was to count how many of each letter there are

[timid prism]

what

cancer

clancey

[lyric glen]

oh

[timid prism]

worry port

sorry

i did not bean to do that

i accidentally called him lmao

[mint urchin]

you need some sleep

damn

[lyric glen]

worry port

[feral palm]

wee know port

[lyric glen]

i am wondering if stuff with restricted content need to be decoded with other bishops names

[mint urchin]

wouldn’t be surprised if the people solving 19 won’t end up eating him alive out of sheer frustration

[lyric glen]

shit i hope i didnt ping there

anyway

[timid prism]

oop

[lyric glen]

i was trying to do this for every bishop but it felt wrong after andre lol

[timid prism]

someone said it was nico for all of them

[lyric glen]

yeah nico for all gives clancy

[lyric glen]

this is nico

[timid prism]

yeah

clanky

[lyric glen]

yea but whys some of it restricted

also

[feral palm]

and then from there we gotta actually use our eyessss ugh

[lyric glen]

it says learn everyones name

Everything and everyone has a name: Lisden, Reisdro, Nills... Once you learn this, it all becomes as bright as sunshine, dear!

so its not just clancy that we should be using?

[lyric glen]

wdym

[midnight bison]

Do the weird a-^ symbols mean anything? No one is talking about them so are they supposed to be discarded?

I feel like the next step either involves those symbols with the word clancy as some sort of key. Or somehow the messed up clancy test is another cipher text on its own

The other codes are like a reasonable length word right? So maybe if each line somehow decrypts to a single letter

[loud nacelle]

That's possible maybe

[midnight bison]

some of the lines are missing letters needed to spell clancy -- these letters are ccyccl. i then tried cycle but that's not it

[midnight bison]

port said the bold text is a hint...

how can 'wait, who are you again?' fit into this??

i already tried 'iamclancy'

[loud nacelle]

Answer could be like "mynameis"

[lyric glen]

i think that was just to get us to clancy

[midnight bison]

then what was the point of all of the scrambled clancys after using nico as vignere key?

ohhh okay so the weird a-^ symbols are supposed to look like this I think. so maybe they are redacted letters (hence [restricted_content])? first one could be clancy... but there are some that are only 1 or 2 boxes so they cant all be names

[lyric glen]

jade i believe in you

[midnight bison]

another failed rabbit hole, i tried counting the boxes and doing a basic A=1, B=2, C=3, etc... thing to get another cipher text, them using CLANCY as the key -- resulted in nonsense

[lyric glen]

i wanted to count the c l a n y in every row earlier

but i didnt know where that would take me

[midnight bison]

lol wait someone literally already tried the same thing i just did 😂 great minds

[midnight bison]

that seems like a reasonable next step

im also wondering like -- maybe spelling clancy and taking the leftover letters?

however an issue w/ that is that some rows are missing letters needed to spell clancy even just once

so im not sure how you would deal with some letters being missing and some letters being extra

the particular wording 'everyone and everyTHING' makes me think this might have something to do with album or song names but idk

[lyric glen]

what are "things" in this world

would it count animals eg ned clifford? or is it mor elike dema

[midnight bison]

no idea -- but the boxes that are only 1 or 2 boxes throw me off to where im like, surely we aren't supposed to be filling the boxes in with names bc how could a name (even of a thing) be one letter

[lyric glen]

are you working on pinned btw?

[midnight bison]

possibility for the scrambled clancy ciphertext is lining CLANCYCLANCYCLANCY... up with the alphabet then substituting -- ie each letter in clancy would correspond to multiple options for plaintext letters.

however this is hard enough that i dont think they would do it so im not going to try

[midnight bison]

wdym? like is that where im starting from? yeah

the restricted content, scrambled clancys, and boxes (a-^ in some text editors)

[lyric glen]

just making sure bc it looks diff here

[tranquil heart]

hi #19 code solver here

how can i help

[lyric glen]

someone give me a task and ill do it i want to contribute but brain broke

[delicate trail]

have an additional really small hint: the black squares represent words that don't fit a category. but to figure out what this means, you'd need to know what this whole wall of text is supposed to be.

[lyric glen]

each box is a letter?

or word

[delicate trail]

no, each box is a word

[lyric glen]

damn thats a lot of words

ok

[midnight bison]

thats solved? sick! i gave up when i saw it was music 😂

[lyric glen]

jade we got a hint

[midnight bison]

just confirmation that the squares are words is a huge hint tysm 😭

[loud nacelle]

Each square being a word makes me think it's some kinda list or catalog of names or song titles or something

[lyric glen]

where do i go from here
(where do i go from here)

so it says everything and everyone

[midnight bison]

oh the screenshot i sent is the file before you use vignere with NICO as key to get the scrambled clancys (ie the raw file)

[lyric glen]

Everything and everyone has a name: Lisden, Reisdro, Nills... Once you learn this, it all becomes as bright as sunshine, dear!

Wait, who are you again?

I wonder if the boxes are BF lyrics from each bishop

[tranquil heart]

ooooooooooooo

[loud nacelle]

Could be strings of lyrics
That's a lot of them tho so matching it up would be difficult
I feel like that's more of an end step

[lyric glen]

we have 11 scrambled clancies
and i think 58 restricted

[loud nacelle]

Although "words that don't fit a category"

So they're just... Random? And only make sense if we figure out what the whole thing means

[tranquil heart]

im gonna need to read up and catch up on this

[lyric glen]

i think we need to follow the bishop names trail first and it will lead us to the words esp if they dont fit in a category

[midnight bison]

yeah the whole 'don't fit a category' is throwing me off for it being strings of song lyrics? but down to follow this and see where it goes

theres also like way more than 9 groups of boxes

[lyric glen]

is it safe to assume every set of boxes pertains to the clancy/restricted thats below it?

or would you say the codes and boxes are separate

[midnight bison]

thats what im thinking

but not really sure about the scrambled clancys

[loud nacelle]

Does the amount of boxes relate to the amount of scrambled Clancy letters below?

[midnight bison]

not that i can tell

port said that we need to know what 'this whole wall of text is supposed to be'

im trying to consider that but whats throwing me off is.. what kind of wall of text has a mix of words (the boxes), [restricted_content], and scrambled clancys?

specifically, i just really dont know what to make of the scrambled clancys -- which are not words -- being thrown in with words

[lyric glen]

i assume restricted content will be revealed later

we need to focus on th clancies and their boxes

and with them we can unlock the other stuff wit hcontext clues

[tranquil heart]

i agree

[lyric glen]

so what do we do

[midnight bison]

im just throwing stuff at the wall at this point but btw ive ruled out the scrambled clancys matching 1:1 with the song lyrics for bishops names assuming every bishop is included -- it failed at LISTO bc theres no scrambled clancy of length 6 letters (list of)

[tranquil heart]

i am going to go to sleep and i’ll be awake in a few hours to come back and help solve

[gloomy turret]

port wake up

[midnight bison]

its only been three hours--

thats a full REM cycle tho

[gloomy turret]

i’m awake again it’s his turn

[midnight bison]

where's port's loud neighbor when you need them

im so stuck on this, it feels like we have basically nothing to go off of

[gloomy turret]

this is what’s confusing me. they represent words that don’t fit a category. like what the fuck

[timid prism]

wait guys we only have two more codes

i’m sad

[feral palm]

porterion is gonna add 5 more random ones and not make any puzzle just force us to guess

[magic venture]

Hey guys
Is it maybe the Clancy letters

[gloomy turret]

which one though

[magic venture]

Restricted content - dmaorg
Boxes - letter content
Clancy - sign off

[timid prism]

i’m confused about how we got any translation at all

i can’t get anything to work

[magic venture]

Multiple ?

[gloomy turret]

and how do we match them to the words and stuff

[magic venture]

Word count

[gloomy turret]

what about the single ones then

[magic venture]

😔 idk i contributed my idea time to lurk more

[gloomy turret]

i was just curious if you had thought about that 😭

[feral palm]

real

[gloomy turret]

it’s not a terrible idea

[feral palm]

imma lurk all through school

[gloomy turret]

we are just so lost

[half steeple]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 69!

[dusk lance]

funny number

[timid prism]

nice

[feral palm]

not words fr but i think ur close here

[gloomy turret]

level 69 tho

[magic venture]

Doesn't hurt for someone (I can) to look into it

[dusk lance]

is this one and code 20 the only ones left

[feral palm]

i dont got time cus of school to look aetterd

[gloomy turret]

port said the boxes are words

[gloomy turret]

yeah

and port said this one was easy

[feral palm]

i meant word count

maybe the boxes line up with one specific letter

[timid prism]

i just copied it all into my notes and i got this weird bit at the end, idk if that means something or it’s just a mis copy

[feral palm]

with word length

[steep coral]

juno did you sleep

[midnight bison]

im going crazy over that

like. either we are all being extremely dense and over complicating things

or they were being sarcastic 💀

[gloomy turret]

port wake up

[timid prism]

also wtf i just noticed this when i copied it to my notes

what does it mean

[magic venture]

FOLLOW THE CARPET COLOR

[gloomy turret]

i think that’s just the code for the blocks n stuff

[timid prism]

isn’t that what we’re trying to figure out

[magic venture]

Nvm 255 255 255 = white

[timid prism]

the blocks

[magic venture]

If it is dmaorg content then the first set of boxes lines up with "they mustn't find you here"

[gloomy turret]

yea but the code there is just like “wide af white line”

[magic venture]

The second set lines up with "The perplexities of the Dema horizon didn't occur to me until my ninth year."

[timid prism]

💀💀💀

thanks port

[magic venture]

What if each set of boxes is the first line of each letter?

Its tracking so far

[gloomy turret]

tommy are those from the same letter

[timid prism]

he said each box is a word though

[magic venture]

No, the first line of each letter

[gloomy turret]

oh shit

[timid prism]

oh i see

[gloomy turret]

but we don’t have 58 letters or whatever

[magic venture]

Yeah, the first row has 6 boxes. First letter has 6 words

Second row has 14 boxes. Second letter has 14 words

[midnight bison]

is they mustn't find you here even in a letter 💀

[feral palm]

i wasnt on discord but no i did not

at all

ty for notice

[steep coral]

😭

[feral palm]

but how u notice

[magic venture]

Not a letter but the vessel gif that lead us to dmaorg

[steep coral]

idk I thought you were still here when I fell asleep and have been here for an hour before I woke up

[feral palm]

lmao

[gloomy turret]

i slept but also i did not wait up for everyone to figure out

[feral palm]

i would never stay up all night for this

[midnight bison]

hmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[feral palm]

i stayed up all night cus i was crying abt chromakopia

[magic venture]

I really think I'm onto smth

[feral palm]

also other stuff but mostly jus lyrics

[magic venture]

I'm struggling to find a 16 word sentence

[feral palm]

could it be "meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow"

im sure clancy says that at least once when he has his lil mask

[magic venture]

I'm getting somewhere guys

Can someone entertain this and help me search

Next line is 9 boxes. "U still dont know his name do you" fits

Please someone help i can't be alone in thinking this will work

[steep coral]

tf is even going on with this puzzle

code 18 specifically

[feral palm]

no idea man

[gloomy turret]

@delicate trail wake up

[steep coral]

I’m so behind on this code that absolutely nothing I’m reading means anything

[magic venture]

Guys this is working trust me

[jolly nexus]

i think youre on the right track fwiw, the only hints we have are about clancy

[magic venture]

And restricted content

Which is what dmaorg is

[timid prism]

ycnalc

[midnight bison]

its just port's comment abt the boxes being 'words that dont fit a category' doesn't really fit with this idea

but im also on zero sleep so idk

[jolly nexus]

i think we need another hint here

[dull willow]

after a full hand of 10h eep I am here to help

what have you guys for now any break throughs?

[midnight bison]

nothing past the pinned post really

[dull willow]

perfect oki

[midnight bison]

and port's hint that the boxes are words that 'don't fit in a category' but to know what that means we have to understand what this 'wall of text' even is first

(paraphrasing their msg if u scroll up u will find it)

[gloomy turret]

thats what jade is talking about

[magic venture]

This is what I got so far

[feral palm]

i think the code is cuck

[magic venture]

Thanks Juno

[feral palm]

maybe with the extra letters

cus the other special codes had them

[magic venture]

I dont feel like pursuing this anymore 😭

[dull willow]

and how did you got this out of the original?

[magic venture]

[Restricted_content] someone else found out

Port said each box is a word, so I went to dmaorg (restricted content) and found lines from each moon date letter / png / whatever and lined it up w the amount of boxes

[dull willow]

ah okay got it

[magic venture]

Example: box row 1 is 6 words. "They musnt find you" (vessel gif) is 6 words

[dull willow]

thanks for explaining

[magic venture]

No p

Although I ran out of steam for it

[dull willow]

yeah you did a lot already

do we know what the clancy stroke lines mean?

[magic venture]

I assumed it was to refer to the clancy letters

[jolly nexus]

im guessing order matters as well as frequency of each letter

[dull willow]

yes because thats what I was thinking too

[jolly nexus]

but also

how the fuck are we meant to figure out what the wall of text is with just that

[magic venture]

Considering we go from vessel.gif to 988 06MOON 18 to 988 12MOON 01 to 017 07MOON 17

Which is the order on the dmaorg site (iirc)

[midnight bison]

i feel like ANLYAYCA LALYANLYCCCACN LNAALYCACNCLYY LALYANLC CNLLYNNYYYCYLNAACAAAAALCNCLNNCNCANLACYCA LLLYYYNNYNYAYY ANNNLYCNNAYY YAYNYCCAAA YANCAANCCLLYYYCA ALCAYYYYCANY CAACLACAYAANLYYNCN is another cipher text

ive just tried many things and nothing is working so

[magic venture]

I think it's just clancy's name

[midnight bison]

if its just clancy's name and doesn't decode to anything, the puzzle really gives us absolutely nothing to go off on regarding next steps -- ik thats a p meta argument but

[dull willow]

i think it will, we just dont see it now

[midnight bison]

👀👀port

[delicate trail]

who are you again?

[magic venture]

I added the secret messages of each gif/png/letter/etc but idk if it helps

[timid prism]

i’m salsa

[midnight bison]

i am clancy

[magic venture]

Your worst fucking enemy >:(

[midnight bison]

or maybe blurryface

honestly im pretty confused about my identity

[gloomy turret]

👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻

[magic venture]

Is Blurry and Clancy's ship name Clancyface or Blancy

[midnight bison]

its clancyface

[delicate trail]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-walter-white-youre-right-youre-goddamn-right-gif-12030781

[midnight bison]

** clankyface

[magic venture]

Clearly this is a sign from Port that Blancy is the code

[timid prism]

is it vigenere

isn’t that what we decided earlier

[magic venture]

NTEOLGAMPIPM and the others are yes

[timid prism]

i tried iamclancy and i didn’t get anything

[gloomy turret]

guys

[fringe island]

i tried a few of those too

[gloomy turret]

https://youtu.be/ozlHHR_eSxc?si=8XVGYUUv8HfwlO_o

[timid prism]

chat is this lore

[gloomy turret]

port does this video mater

[magic venture]

Port can you at least tell us if this is the right track?

[timid prism]

smh

[magic venture]

THEY THUNBS UP IT

[gloomy turret]

oh lord

[magic venture]

@delicate trail please

[timid prism]

i think i’m getting more confused as this goes on

[delicate trail]

congrats!
you found the big wall of text

[gloomy turret]

i hate you

[magic venture]

Wait

[fringe island]

wait this is good

cuz port said

[delicate trail]

i am not kidding

[fringe island]

we need to know what the big wall of text is to continue

[feral palm]

well we decoded that from the og and its a hint

[timid prism]

i am trapped

[magic venture]

It doesn't line up but... what if i...

[half steeple]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 25!

[magic venture]

Oh sick

[delicate trail]

that video is the key to solve this puzzle. just pair it with sally's first hint and you're set to go, knowing that the black squares are words

[gloomy turret]

i’m in a meeting until like 11 i can’t do this right now 😭

[delicate trail]

rip

[dull willow]

same i gotta get ready for uni any minute

[gloomy turret]

everyone take a break until i can come back

[delicate trail]

at least you helped a lot

[magic venture]

I have a job interview in an hour

[gloomy turret]

[delicate trail]

y'all know where to go from here

[gloomy turret]

chica den and now this

where are my brownie points

[midnight bison]

(we made zero progress on this in like 5 hours until you gave us a new hint)

[feral palm]

clancy nico and blurryface is the only names in the video am confuse

[fringe island]

the first hint from sally was

"wait, who are you?"

right

[delicate trail]

no

before that

[fringe island]

oh

everything has a name?

[delicate trail]

the first part in bold

[timid prism]

everybody has a name

[magic venture]

I tried "exception" "escapee" "citizen" and the variants of adding "i am a(n)"

None work

[feral palm]

yea

[timid prism]

everything

[feral palm]

duh

[delicate trail]

think it through, forget the bishop names

[timid prism]

has a name

[fringe island]

dema?

trench?

banditos

[feral palm]

vialism

[gloomy turret]

hmmmmmm

[feral palm]

meow

joe biden?

[timid prism]

i feel like we’re still missing something 😭

[feral palm]

yea

[delicate trail]

the black squares are words that don't fit a category.

[feral palm]

oi

[gloomy turret]

keep missing it until i’m off

i wanna help

[fringe island]

the that don't fit a category. is throwing me off

[fringe island]

lol i'm doing this during my birthday party

[feral palm]

fr

[feral palm]

they dont fit a category

its throwing u off cus ur thinkin too hard abt what it means when it means what it says

[dull willow]

those puzzles show me everytime I am not capable of the thinking and I might be stupid but I love you all little smart people

[magic venture]

... thought

[feral palm]

it shows me that i am but im lazy asf

[magic venture]

What if we take lines from the I Am Clancy Letter and fill them in via word count

Then whatever line or word is left is our solution ?

[delicate trail]

also don't forget this is the big wall of text
the entire document is this video.

[dull willow]

probably?

[fringe island]

lemme check

[gloomy turret]

do we need the transcript

[magic venture]

I dont have the brain power to do that tho

[fringe island]

Wait I got an idea

[magic venture]

Found one on reddit

[loud nacelle]

There's an image of the video from the journal

Like the transcript

[magic venture]

https://www.reddit.com/r/twentyonepilots/s/Rppis34sJM

[gloomy turret]

port

[delicate trail]

yes

you'll need it

[magic venture]

Can someone start doing this?

[fringe island]

I can do it

[magic venture]

Wait yall I'm gonna share the link to the Google doc I have

[thorny venture]

Omfg

[fringe island]

perfect

[thorny venture]

Port you didn’t

[delicate trail]

I did

[magic venture]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qXAAfR0hgB65SnB5e2NEDvCka4kwYohCtpAYpd1sopY/edit?usp=drivesdk

[gloomy turret]

alex what

[thorny venture]

God damn

Port do we get a recap video like LOC did

[delicate trail]

That's way above my payroll

($0)

[timid prism]

omg

i’ll give you $5

[magic venture]

I have $1.06

[fringe island]

so

@magic venture

one word per block right?

[magic venture]

Yes

[gloomy turret]

yes

[loud nacelle]

Is it the lines or sentences from that transcript that have names in them?

[fringe island]

alright i'm gonna start typing

[magic venture]

So three blocks would be "i am [blank]"

[fringe island]

wait is the way i'm doing it right?

[magic venture]

Yea I like it

Idk if we started in the right place or not tho

[fringe island]

well the video starts with "I am trapped"

[magic venture]

3 words

[feral palm]

i got 16 cents on cashapp

[fringe island]

ah right

but does each line of blocks form a sentence

or is it random

[magic venture]

I want to think that but there's too many 3s, 4s, etc

[fringe island]

yea

Maybe I'll just start filling in sentences

like you said

[magic venture]

Okay 😭

[fringe island]

sorry my brain is everywhere rn

[thorny venture]

And yet you’re making chat do all this work for free

[magic venture]

Yea port where's our paycheck

[delicate trail]

Yeah that's on them
And not for free!

[midnight bison]

starting from the bottom, i was able to get names of people and things to line up with the [restricted contents]

[magic venture]

True we are getting a role

[midnight bison]

with the things that are names of people and things being the black box words

however, i keep getting lost in the sauce

and idk if thats bc im doing it wrong or just lack of sleep

[delicate trail]

✨ A special event role ✨

[magic venture]

Jade come join us on the Google doc

[fringe island]

.

[midnight bison]

i dont have a burner gmail lol

[magic venture]

I dont think anyone is gonna care about ur email

[midnight bison]

oh its just my last name

[magic venture]

Oh gotcha

[delicate trail]

oh start at the top. if you line the transcript up with the squares word for word, eventually something will become clear

[magic venture]

Okok

[fringe island]

OH

so i was doing it right

i'm gonna keep going then

[thorny venture]

So you’re saying

Dig a little deeper and it’s crystal clear

[magic venture]

You seem to be going pretty fast

[delicate trail]

Kinda

I’m just now getting out of bed

but reading all this I have no fkn clue what you guys are doing

[gloomy turret]

😭

[ebon igloo]

thank god its not just me 😭

[delicate trail]

you missed something before the "but?"

otherwise you're doing it right

[magic venture]

@fringe island do what jade is doing

Updating the Google doc

[fringe island]

wym?

[magic venture]

Look at their screen shot

[fringe island]

oh

im so sorry

[magic venture]

No worries

You're a huge help rn

[fringe island]

thought it was just the squares

[magic venture]

Oh shit I can see someone correcting me 😭

I'll leave this to the pros

I'm just full of ideas, no execution

[feral palm]

ok get to work

[magic venture]

🥺 you think I'm a pro?

Anonymous hedgehog I love you

[delicate trail]

Oh its nice to see this one unfolding

in real time

[steep coral]

is port anonymous hedgehog

[magic venture]

HAHA PROBABLY

[delicate trail]

nah

[magic venture]

I think Anon Hedgehog is arno

[steep coral]

i want to join and be helpful

however i have no idea what is going on

[magic venture]

Part of the reason I dropped the Google doc link

[steep coral]

is there any way to catch up really fast or is it too complex lol

[magic venture]

Okay so we have this big wall of text (code18.txt)

Put it into chrome as a code and the a-' turn into squares

Each square is a word

Each word is part of I Am Clancy

With the jumbled clancies and [restricted_content] also being words

[steep coral]

[magic venture]

If you join the Google doc it's easier to follow

[steep coral]

okay gimme a few

[steep coral]

i'm making a breakfast burrito

[magic venture]

Anonymous Hedgehog is going so fast my Google docs is freezing

[gloomy turret]

i’m trying to separate the words that are restricted or clancy

[fringe island]

bro im goin crazy

i'm typoing so fast

[magic venture]

GUYS

ITS COTY

CITY

THE ANSWER IS CITY

IM NOT EVEN FUCKING KIDDING

Nevermind

Someone shoot me

[gloomy turret]

😭

[magic venture]

Sally fucking glitched again

[steep coral]

💀

[magic venture]

She's telling me every word I input is correct

[delicate trail]

something went wrong in the doc

after "things"

[thorny venture]

Bro correcting you

[ebon igloo]

😭😭😭

[fringe island]

fuck

port can you give me the answer for my birthday

[delicate trail]

code 18 is ||in the doc you guys are making||

[fringe island]

but wym something is wrong

oh

[gloomy turret]

are we going to have to cipher it again

[fringe island]

i see it

[delicate trail]

it is wrong

[fringe island]

i missed 2 words

fixing it now

[thorny venture]

I think the real code 18 was the friends we made along the way

[steep coral]

is code 18 ben foster

[thorny venture]

😭

I see why you would think that

[steep coral]

wait am i close

[thorny venture]

No

[steep coral]

oh

[thorny venture]

Not at all

[steep coral]

[fringe island]

i got this guys

let me cook

[magic venture]

Ok we should be fixed

[steep coral]

markiplier will save the world

[delicate trail]

the new amazon series:

[steep coral]

LOL

i havent watched yet

[gloomy turret]

is the answer the edge of sleep

it’s so good

[delicate trail]

it's really good

[leaden knoll]

have we figured it out yet lol

[mint urchin]

how far along are we?

[gloomy turret]

no

[magic venture]

@delicate trail is self-destruction one word or two

[ebon igloo]

let them cook

[mint urchin]

last i was in here we made like zero progress

[thorny venture]

I think they’re cooking

[fringe island]

i'm almost done

[mint urchin]

hell yeah

[thorny venture]

Oh they’re cooking with GAS

[ebon igloo]

😭😭😭

[magic venture]

@delicate trail

[mint urchin]

and they managed to find the two other codes?

you guys are insane

[ebon igloo]

yeah they cooked fr

i bet this one will be solved before we get code 20

[mint urchin]

oh absolutely

[thorny venture]

I hope so

Y’all have literally like

[ebon igloo]

me too

[thorny venture]

10 hours

[ebon igloo]

we have all day

[mint urchin]

definitely pay attention to the previous answers tho

they’re needed for the next one

with the repeat letters

[delicate trail]

i'll check

[magic venture]

The extra letters spell

Scrr btw

[ebon igloo]

oh okay i didnt know that thanks

[delicate trail]

one

one word

[fringe island]

ok cool ty

[magic venture]

Ok thanks

[steep coral]

what even were the other answers 😭

besides fazbearrr

have we solved this one yet?

[proper ether]

what have we tried already?

[fringe island]

is it upon or up on

[loud nacelle]

up on the beach or whatever?

[fringe island]

yea

i got it

[gloomy turret]

i think it’s upon

[delicate trail]

what if i told you
you guys already have all the tools needed to solve the puzzle in the doc so far

[loud nacelle]

I think it's separate for being washed up on

[thorny venture]

I can’t make my references without giving it away

[gloomy turret]

don’t say that i’m still in my meeting

[fringe island]

OKAY

IM DONE

THE TEXT CUTS OFF AT

"WIELDED FROM THEIR TOWER"

[loud nacelle]

I feel like we should be paying attention to the words that specifically line up with the Clancy jumbles?

[fringe island]

wielded from their towers.

I am a citizen. I am an escapee. I am an exception. I am returning to Trench. I am Clancy."

is what is left

[gloomy turret]

this is what i’m thinking

can someone type those and bring em here

[fringe island]

i gotchu

[feral palm]

lmao

[fringe island]

wait did i make a mistake?

[loud nacelle]

ANLYAYCA - time
LALYANLYCCCACN - citizen
LNAALYCACNLYY - friends
LALYANLC - city
ANAACACNLANN - Trench
LLLYYYNNYNYAYY - bishops
ANNNLYCNNAYY - things
YAYNYCCAAA - power
YANCAANCCLLYYYCA - paradise
ALCAYYYYCANY - vessel

Think that's all of them

[fringe island]

sorry i might've skipped one on accident

but only at the end

[proper ether]

guys can someone debrief me

[thorny venture]

Diese Kleine unheimlich Insel hat mich zu einer Waffe gemacht

[delicate trail]

why is paradise twice

[loud nacelle]

I fixed it

[delicate trail]

oh ok

[lucid kraken]

deez kleine

[thorny venture]

Dir glauben beide-

[magic venture]

Squares, [restricted_content] and clancies = 1 word from i ambclancy

[steep coral]

deez Nüsse

[sharp stream]

no

[magic venture]

Ich nicht leibe dich port

[fringe island]

edit:

their towers.

I am a citizen. I am an escapee. I am an exception. I am returning to Trench. I am Clancy."

[delicate trail]

no clue what to do with this?

[thorny venture]

Cette petite île étrange a fait de moi une arme
Nous croyons tous les deux que nous pouvons l'utiliser pour changer l'élan de cette guerre

[mint urchin]

lederhosen

[magic venture]

None

[loud nacelle]

So my thought is that each one of these is "CLANCY" but ciphered using each keyword from that transcript

[magic venture]

Wait...

[gloomy turret]

i’m thinking

[feral palm]

think better

[mint urchin]

me no spricht mucho allemange

[gloomy turret]

i’m in a meeting let me use my brain

[delicate trail]

do you remember the origins of bkeke x2

[feral palm]

im in 1st hour me cant do this

[fringe island]

no lol

[steep coral]

no one knows the origins of bkeke

like none of us do

[delicate trail]

(irrelevant to this puzzle btw)

[fringe island]

ohok

[thorny venture]

Esta pequeña isla misteriosa me ha convertido en ambos creemos que podemos usarla
Para cambiar el impulso de esta guerra

[thorny venture]

Not entirely

I just know it was one of Poot’s hunts

[magic venture]

I tried putting ANLYAYCA in vignere cipher w time as the key...

[loud nacelle]

I think it's a custom alphabet maybe?

[thorny venture]

Idk that I worked on the codes for that one

[loud nacelle]

Both city and citizen begin with C

[thorny venture]

The last one or two of his I couldn’t do cause of work

[loud nacelle]

and the jumble both begin with LAL

[thorny venture]

But the first 2 Ik I did

One was during the week of jumpsuit and natn release

[loud nacelle]

Actually yeah

[delicate trail]

Oh I need to leave for a bit

[feral palm]

why R u off topic then

banned

[delicate trail]

See ya

[quasi plank]

custom alphabet??

[loud nacelle]

CITY = LALYANLC
CITIZEN = LALYANLYCCCACN
CIT = LALYANL

[delicate trail]

it's not completely off-topic
it's a puzzle that was similar to this one

[loud nacelle]

Y = C

[feral palm]

ban him for off topic

[gloomy turret]

stop these red herrings

[steep coral]

so close! that's actually a red fish

[loud nacelle]

IZEN = YCCCACN

[gloomy turret]

[delicate trail]

nick impresses me with his smartness sometimes

[loud nacelle]

Okay so I = Y

[mint urchin]

wait how are we getting these

[steep coral]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-sometimes-my-genius-almost-frightening-driving-car-ride-gif-16463163

i just got here

[delicate trail]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qXAAfR0hgB65SnB5e2NEDvCka4kwYohCtpAYpd1sopY/edit?usp=drivesdk

[magic venture]

Gotta go to my job interview see yall

[steep coral]

okay so. i just spent some time on the interweb. and i have learned information today that i did not previously have

[thorny venture]

This was not one of those times

[steep coral]

a herring and a heron are two different things. so the phrase 'red herring' is in fact not referring to a big red bird

[loud nacelle]

C = LAL
I = Y
T = ANL
Y = C

[dull willow]

The word is yangel

Thank me later

[ebon igloo]

thanks peppermint friend

[dull willow]

Np taylor

[magic venture]

Someone @ me if we get the answer while I'm at my interview

[delicate trail]

Oh I'll have to leave for a bit

See ya

[fringe island]

why'd you say that twice port

[thorny venture]

Didn’t you do this last night

[ebon igloo]

right

[midnight bison]

byyyeee

[thorny venture]

“Goodnight guys”

[ebon igloo]

we must be cooking

[thorny venture]

an hour later

[steep coral]

for 3 hours

[midnight bison]

gl with your responsibilities everyone

[thorny venture]

“I should sleep”

An hour later

“Goodnight guys”

[loud nacelle]

I'm onto something with this alphabet I think

[mint urchin]

agreed

[dull willow]

How did you

[midnight bison]

well, im positive its a cipher

but a cipher ive personally never seen before (which is a pretty low bar)

[loud nacelle]

This

They both start with CIT

[dull willow]

Ahh got it

[midnight bison]

ohh y'all are cooking

[dull willow]

Yeah that's definitely something

[thorny venture]

So

[loud nacelle]

Just gotta figure out the other letters somehow

[fringe island]

so it's another cipher?

[thorny venture]

Substitution cipher

Of some sort
