“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!— Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted— On this home by Horror haunted—tell me truly, I implore— Is there—is there balm in Gilead?—tell me—tell me, I implore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

Oh boy, poetry. I’m looking forward to the second message as well.

and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing Took far longer to select that I’d have hoped

My apologies, I won’t be able to work on this further until I get home in about 5 hours, good luck to any other would-be code-solvers.

(Note: the tel shouldn't be there. Just appeared when I copied it.)

Our binary friend here (I'll call them Raven till I get their name) has posted in Caffeine Cave with this in binary: Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries from the Coffea plant. The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. The plant was exported from Africa to countries around the world and coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries Fitting for the thread.

Onto Raven's true name... Throwing it through UTF-8: y ASCII: y CP1256: yْحخء ISO-8859-2: yúÍÎÁ Windows-1252: yúÍÎÁ yúÍÎÁ seems to be the best candidate. Will check this out.

"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred." is what it says, PK.

Bitterness and hatred, huh?

Really? That’s...... Unexpectedly fitting actually.

Raven here seems to have a habit of posting things relevant to the thread in question. First coffee in Caffeine Cave, and then something vaguely related to Nexus's thread's theme. Also, yúÍÎÁ is something I'm running into a wall with. Some of my decoders hate its symbols.

Vigenère... ah, the Vigenère cipher. Many thanks.

We'll need a keyword for this. This cypher requires both a keyword and the regular text. Any suggestions?

Another thing: Raven, I suggest not posting in other threads. You could get banned for spam.

Onto their profile itself. The binary is Vigenère. However, when entering Raven's coded name on Google, it came up with their profile... which has a different initial description. You get the result seen above if you actually click on the link to the profile, but the google search page shows this: 3 hours ago · [1]A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. [2]A robot must obey the ... Three laws of robotics, I assume.

They posted those a while ago in the anti-robot force thread

I see. Further confirms the theory of them posting topic-related stuff in other threads.

Something else to note: this thread's title. Log_1 is always equal to 0, because any base to the 0 power is 1. Not sure if this has any significance.

So what codes were tried on the scrambled text?

I just tossed it through some stuff with not really much thought. But from the odd capitalization, I'd say there's a shift. Also, three one-letter words of different letters, yet the only one-letter words are I and a.

Also gonna double up on that, the dream comment seems to be a quote from MLK

Try nevermore, the first post is a quote from that, it’s a raven, and the ravens say “Nevermore”

That... worked! "i think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, i hope, with a steady eye."

Ok I think the capitals did not transfer over, but they seem to overlap as “TOSS”

I guess ill put this info on the wiki so its in one place
