You decide that it's time to take this secret public. You're going to pay a visit to the Secret Agent to figure out the best way to do that. "Well, Mr. Forrest, this is a juicy secret you have here," the agent says. "I'm thinking I could get you a book deal at least, maybe even a movie or two. But I don't work for free, y'know. It's a rough business, if I guess wrong I could lose a lot of money. So I need a little guarantee that it'll be worth my time even if the secret doesn't pan out." Dang it, you knew this would be a problem. The agent's fee is pretty ridiculous. How are you going to get that kind of money, Forrest?

You're not going to bother watching Forrest Gump, you're going to watch the documentary on Mother Theresa instead. But this line is ridiculously long. At this rate, the movie will be half over by the time you get your tickets. Isn't there anything you can do to speed this up?

You've looked over the map again, and you're drawn towards one conclusion. East Fogel and West Fogel are the nations you need to draw into a war with each other. If either of those falls, North Fogel will be sure to swoop in and take on the weakened victor. But that will only draw South Fogel into the fight. And Central Fogel is sure to get involved somewhere along the line. If you play your cards right, you can then unite the warring nations, and prop up a puppet ruler to do your bidding. The rest of the continent would have a tough time standing up to the new Nation of Fogel. All that's well and good, but there's one key detail still missing. You need to actually start the war. And East Fogel and West Fogel have had unusually good relations for the last decade. How are you going to get them to war? The entire plan hinges on this, you'll need to think of something cunning.

Still, there's a lot your opponent could do while you're aiming... Enough waffling. Even in the worst case, you shouldn't be out of the game after this. You might be in a tough position, but you stand to gain a lot two. You opt to spend three turns aiming your shot. The opponent seems baffled. They weren't expecting this. That may be a good sign, but it could also mean they're considering a risky play that's a lot safer with two free turns. Finally, they decide. They spend one turn charging up a spell, and on the second, they cast a Sphere of Darkness spell. Your third turn comes up. You're done aiming, but there's a problem. With this Sphere of Darkness, the photo's not going to come out well. Still, your camera's going to stay in position. If you can figure out a way to dispose of the Sphere and keep your opponent from moving the subject until you have a free turn, you may just make it out of this, and with a big point bonus from the photo. So what's your next move? Think carefully now. (11-15-2012, 02:54 PM)cyber95 Wrote: »Allah Kart You decide to challenge the alien leader to one of your favorite games, Allah Kart!

And it's in all caps, that should serve as an excellent clue to the importance of capitalization in the story. Hmm. But it occurs to you that the puzzle might be a little too difficult to solve. Perhaps you should include a hint. But what should it say? (11-21-2012, 06:18 PM)cyber95 Wrote: »Eh in autocorrect tu fr yir message a Ross Yes! The perfect hint! Once the readers realize the significance of the fact that there are only two capital letters, they'll be on track to solve the puzzle. You post it and quickly get a number of suggestions. But they seem... oddly out of place, except for two that just quote the message and the hint. Guess those guys are trying everything. Also, it looks like one guy accidentally posted an update to his adventure in there, what a goofball. Looks like a copy-paste error, since he included your coded message in there. But wait. Maybe you can still use these suggestions to point the readers in the right direction. You'll need to craft the update carefully to do that, though. What should it say?

Of course, they may need a hint to figure out what the "2" means, since you haven't covered numbers. What subtle hint should you give that won't make the solution immediately obvious?
