Title: A mysterious message for the residents of Vice City
Post by: AnAnonymousPoet on January 11, 2020, 09:04:49 pm
Citizens of Vice City,

Out there somewhere, I have laid a path. This path has many hurdles, forks, and whatnot. A journey, of sorts. With, or without your friends.
Think you can stay true to the path and get to the end? Think you have the brain and knowledge to keep pushing forward? What could await you at the end?

Follow those riddles and cryptic codes. Complete the given tasks, and you will succeed. This adventure will also involve going in-game. Are you up to the task?

Here's your first riddle:



how are things going?
by the beach i'm strolling
kurz mp5 is on the menu today
klaus just finished his burger for the day
EIGHT officers are about to log in
Eventually, server lag will kick in
Let's make the best of the day ahead
FIVE packs Nylez fished from the ocean bed

Paste this somewhere on the net
You've probably never been there yet

Addresses to the maker of the topic: Is the search stopping at some point? We need new riddles to continue the search?

probably we should post it on reddit, so other people can solve it, and this way we might aswell advertise the community, yes. But there might be some people that can figure it out, among us

the EIGHT and FIVE doesn't seem to make much of a sense.

There are actually three numbers; I know it may sound dumb, but there are. Kurz mp5

how are things going? - Nothing here.
by the beach i'm strolling - The eastern coastline. The only smuggle route to go along the eastern coastline is the lighthouse route.
kurz mp5 is on the menu today - The MP5K is illegal by law, so this might be a reward that a criminal got from the smuggle.
klaus just finished his burger for the day - Probably Burger Shot, but Klaus owns a donut shop. Klaus must have been the first person to be notified of the smuggle. And guess where the only Burger Shot in town is? North Point Mall.
EIGHT officers are about to log in - 8 VCPD officers
Eventually, server lag will kick in - Someone blames lag for their death/Fuzzie having 32685ms.
Let's make the best of the day ahead
FIVE packs Nylez fished from the ocean bed - Smuggle packs from the cops and/or the criminals.

Paste this somewhere on the net
You've probably never been there yet


Something that I thought of:
- Unknown number of criminals starting a smuggle
- Klaus either at NPM or Delicatessen and on duty and got notified of it
- Smuggle is using the lighthouse route
- Klaus called some reinforcements
- 8 officers log in and neutralize the situation
- Nylez comes in and hoards the packs.

I'm intrigued.

You are over complicating things. You didn't analyze the final part. So far, from the point we are at this riddle, we didn't need to enter the game at all. Good luck!

Wait.

I think this riddle alludes to the fact that Klaus missed the ceremony. When he goes into one of his AFK spells, people often joke about how he's munching on a burger. There were eight cops online during the ceremony, and only like two-three civilians.

IS the answer to this riddle the VCPD ceremony?

skip coding at work

Thank you, but next time, try typing the fucking codes out. I spent five minutes typing over and over again the Base64 message.

The first is a Caesarian Shift. The phrase is encoded three times - first three words has an N value of 17, the next three has an N value of 16, and the last word has an N value of 9. To decrypt, simply subtract 1 from the N value.

"Wsqrd gkxd dy rjmf vo ocz Qvfcrafnel?"

Wsqrd gkxd dy  - "Might want to" (N=17)
dy rjmf vo - "work at the" (N=16)
Qvfcrafnel - "Dispensary" (N=9)

"Might want to work at the Dispensary?"


The second is Base64. Nothing much, really. Identifiable by the two equal signs that someone forgot to remove.

ZXZlcnkgc2luZ2xlIFZpY2UgQ2l0eSBBd2FyZHM vT3NjYXJzIHdpbm5lcg==

"every single Vice City Awards/Oscars winner"


"mvbLs8Ahe1A".
This is... very strange.

EDIT: You might find this interesting. (http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/)
EDIT #2: I have visited both Dispensary and it contains... nothing? Buy menus does not show anything of use or cryptic, and there are no crates.

Here's your hint: you've gone off the road. Try finding a new place to go to.
