^ Got that too, but there's another part to it...

Got the adam.ctrl emails too. But I've been trolling him, first replying with O RLY and then with me repeating RAPE RAPE RAPE for a couple of lines.

Here are his replies.

[POSSIBLE Trailhead?] Adam.Ctrl

Someone posted about it in the "Is this SPAM?" thread. I don't think they got anywhere with it, though.

Damnit... That thread doesn't show up in search for some reason >.<

As you can tell from my post count, I'm new to this sort of thing (hello!) but I've noticed that there's ten different characters used in the message (excluding the numbers and the commas at the end). Perhaps these characters correspond to numerical digits?

Don't know if that helps...

the character frequency distribution suggests that it isn't a simple substitution - too evenly distributed for english (would need a larger sample to be sure). The only numbers (37248) could be a reference to a zip code which lands in the middle of Nashville.

Leyton, where have you been?


And I am sure that the symbols are some sort of substitution.

[Leyton Stone]

I've got a LOT of personal issues going on atm, Lu. And of course, studying!

I'm kind of back and forth though... >.>

Heya!

Did some mad moddin' skillz to get all the pieces of the note on this trailhead.

Game on!

After shifting the symbols to numbers on the first message, I tried pairing the numbers and doing a frequency count since many ciphers use paired numbers. Nothing really jumped out at me. 39 and 84 come out as winners for frequency so they could represent E and S. Here it is anyway:

94 37 84 58 57 38 92 47
48 39 84 57 39 20 48 79 47
38 74 62 03 40 98 75 -4 39
90 84 -3 70 39 -3 72 48 02 83
84 98 40 72 -0 47 28 -7 -7 83 57 37 -4 8-,,,

That was super mod work... Although you could have left my post as the OP being as I was the first to actually do a trailhead for it, whether others posted in could this be spam or not 0_o

And 283 posts in 5 yrs and yet, you're a mod? 0_o

lol anyway moving on.
