  • So “converse” here could mean:

    A) the antonym of the words here (Impossible)

    B) the things in the question swap with the ones in the answer (“cleaved timber” “turret and safe”)

    I have a feeling we’re supposed to swap the current words with synonyms, THEN do option B. So cleaved timber could mean... Splintergraft? “Splintered” instead of “Cleaved” and “graft” instead of “timber”?

  • I had that in mind already, but none of the words here have an antonym... how else would reverse come into play here?

  • Do we have that? If yes, where? If not, how come? 

    To clarify, I mean a search bar where you can search up members of the site. All I’ve seen so far is the “recently active members” on the “forums” section  

  • @Live4vrRdieTryin Basically, GHAX SCPTAUCHRH is a homophone of PHASE STALKER if you pronounce GH as in “Laughing Sister”, A as in “Flame Elemental”, X as in “Xaril, Poisoned Mind”, SC as in “Disciple of C'Thun”, PT as in “Ravenous Pterrordax”, AU as in “Bladed Gauntlet”, CH as in “Dr. Boom's Scheme” and RH as in ”Tundra Rhino”. As you can see it’s easy once you know the catch, the real challenge is coming to that line of thought.

    And yeah, I understand where you’re coming from, but I still want to shake things up once in a while, since just rhyme formats get pretty boring after 86 pages. I really don’t think this one was too outlandish, it just requires a bit of a non-traditional approach to code-cracking

    edit: oh, @anchorm4n beat me to it lol

  • Told ya lol

    @JFK got it, well done! 

  • Alright, alright, here’s the final hint:

    Show Spoiler

    Try reading the names of the cards out loud

     

  • I have a final dead giveaway hint prepared, but I really want people to guess it before that

  • To further bamboozle your theories I’ll say that Dr. Boom's Scheme can also be replaced by Chromaggus, but not by Charged Devilsaur

  • Yes!

  • Wrong direction again. Xaril, Poisoned Mind could be replaced by Dark Inquisitor Xanesh and Xavius, and as mentioned, by Z (which then doesn’t require a card), but NOT by Waxadred 

  • Here’s a hint:

    Show Spoiler

    Ravenous Pterrordax could be replaced by Pterrordax Hatchling, and Dr. Boom's Scheme could be replaced by First Day of School

  • First spoiler is the way to go, after that you took the wrong direction 

  • Nope, but keep thinking on that. You’re on the right track with the X being interchangeable with the Z because of Xaril. Meanwhile, here’s the correct order of the cards (now with Xaril included):

    GHAX SCPTAUCHRH

    Laughing Sister

    Flame Elemental

    Xaril, Poisoned Mind

    Disciple of C'Thun

    Ravenous Pterrordax

    Bladed Gauntlet

    Dr. Boom's Scheme

    Tundra Rhino

     

  • No. Thinking back it could be a good idea to give them in order... guess I know my next hint

  • Nah I was just kidding lmao, keep trying

  • @MurlocAggroB got it! :0

  • I was hoping you’d make some guesses using that logic... but no, that’s not it

  • Another hint, let’s see if this makes it click:

    Show Spoiler

    by adding Xaril, Poisoned Mind to the card list, I can change the code to GHAX SCPTAUCHRH 

  • “Wrong direction” figuratively, as in “misunderstanding the riddle’s catch”. I will say that it’s not a cipher (cipher riddles just get obliterated by cipher decoders on the internet anyway)

    focus on the given cards, it is highly unlikely you’ll be able to cheese your way out of this one >:)

  • Nope. I can say fairly safely that you won’t be able to brute-force the answer
