Title: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Daphne on January 27, 2018, 01:01:15 am Nicolette presents Daffyd with an unusual demand…

Psyched for the new chapter. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Haight on January 28, 2018, 06:47:35 pm Psyched for the new chapter. Me too. Super happy to see this on the calendar again. Only complaint is that this doesn't come out more often ;) I wonder if the decision has something to do with attacking Nicolette's husband? She probably is starting to guess that something is up with Daffyd's women... be pretty hot if she asks to join his harem/be turned into a massively busty slave willingly. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on January 30, 2018, 10:56:32 pm Yes!
More Nicolette. :o Only complaint is that this doesn't come out more often ;) I hear you, brother. :D Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Haight on February 07, 2018, 06:19:14 pm Loved Nicolette's willing submission to the spells in this one... really looking forward to when Bethany and Nicollete can spend some time together.
I think you changed the script again... what a bother lol Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: hereno on February 07, 2018, 08:17:19 pm I think you changed the script again... what a bother lol Definitely. Can't figure this one out. I'm assuming this is all meant to represent Daffyd growing more powerful with the Book. The Lovers card turned out to represent love after all. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Haight on February 07, 2018, 09:53:45 pm Definitely. Can't figure this one out. I'm assuming this is all meant to represent Daffyd growing more powerful with the Book. I think it's just to make life hard for us. Daphne traditionally likes actual mind control scenes/commands to be obfuscated to some degree, iirc.

Daphne traditionally likes actual mind control scenes/commands to be obfuscated to some degree, iirc. Well Daphne could have just used random Voynich characters from the start. But at the beginning, Daffyd just used direct letter-cognates; then as he started to really embrace his new lifestyle as a man of wealth and taste, the words became cipher-shifts. Now it's something else again, possibly random or possibly another cipher I'm not familiar with. To me that's a progression. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Daphne on February 07, 2018, 10:39:34 pm The only thing I'll say is that it is not a particularly hard-to-break encryption; we're not using AES256 or something. :)

Oh yes! Bethany and Nicollete together!I think you changed the script again... what a bother lol (also, yeah. I need to be able to translate the magic words) Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on February 10, 2018, 10:47:45 pm The only thing I'll say is that it is not a particularly hard-to-break encryption; we're not using AES256 or something. :) It's not a Caesar cypher... Beyond that, I'm lost. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Geo on February 11, 2018, 03:53:46 pm It's not a Caesar cypher... Time to fire up the CUDA farm and start Hidden Knowledge mining.Beyond that, I'm lost. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on February 11, 2018, 04:50:36 pm Time to fire up the CUDA farm and start Hidden Knowledge mining. uh huh, and what sort of a thing is that? Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: mns_95125 on February 11, 2018, 08:04:48 pm CUDA is a parallel-programming API provided by nVIDIA, which allows running parallel processing computations on graphics cards. These days it is commonly used for crypto-currency mining. Hence the "Hidden Knowledge mining" joke.
Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Geo on February 12, 2018, 10:25:35 am This is why you can't get a decent video card at a non-ridiculous price right now.
Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on February 12, 2018, 09:56:14 pm And yet, I still have no idea what magic words Daffyd is saying. ???
(feed me) Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Tony on February 13, 2018, 09:28:25 am The only thing I'll say is that it is not a particularly hard-to-break encryption; we're not using AES256 or something. :) I've always found the encryption to be easy when I had knowledge of what was being encrypted... Or which method was being used... Or the key for the encryption... Without one or more of those, it's usually not so easy. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Tony on February 13, 2018, 09:34:32 am And yet, I still have no idea what magic words Daffyd is saying. ??? And, I think, we have some new words. After all, we've never had a 5 character word/phrase before. Nor have we had a 20 or 22 character word/phrase either. The previous short words were 6 characters and the longest phrases where 6 and 15 characters. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on February 16, 2018, 05:19:10 pm Is it possible there are junk characters in these new phrases?
That would be just mean. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: GodWilling on February 17, 2018, 05:30:12 pm .
Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Daphne on February 17, 2018, 05:37:56 pm That would be just mean. I'm often cruel, but never mean. Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Geo on February 18, 2018, 09:22:55 am Based on the history of classic, epic-length MC fiction, Daphne could end issue 29 with a huge cliffhanger and never write another issue.
THAT is how you get people to keep talking about a MC story 30 years later. Or does that hit your definition of mean, Daphne? Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: ozymandias on February 20, 2018, 12:00:10 pm Is it possible there are junk characters in these new phrases? That would be just mean. There's a nine- or ten-character sequence that appears several times. I'd expect junk characters to show up in a string of that length, in which case the same junk characters would have to be being used each time. My guess would be that that string of characters corresponds to 'slave', with two coded characters corresponding to one decoded one. I was thinking maybe each pair might contain an encoded letter and a shift in the offset, but I've had no luck going in that direction. I have no patience with these things though. And there's always enough of a suspicion that we've gone back to Esperanto to dishearten me. "slavecunte", as I recall, was the dominant word in early issues (which were more easily decoded). In later issues, he went to more one-word descriptions of the desired outcome, so I don't think that's going to be helpful, but there you are. I think the best way to approach this is going to include a catalog of all the known commands and their lexicons... and I'm pretty sure I don't have the energy for that. :D Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on March 06, 2018, 04:36:53 pm and I'm pretty sure I don't have the energy for that. :D You said it, brother.Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Haight on August 12, 2018, 06:29:30 pm Just re-read this and remembered how much I enjoyed Nicolette's willing submission to Daffyd's control. Exquisite example of the kink.
Title: Re: The Hidden Knowledge #20 Post by: Dr. White on September 11, 2018, 09:13:14 pm I'm still struggling with the cipher for this issue... ???
