Also yes those gumbled letter are a real code. Take you’r guess as what it says.

This must be what it felt like for the people watching the oracle at Delphi huff sulphur and spit out the future by talking in tongues.

Apollo spoke to me in a dream.
Aight I might be a dumfuk and/or I maybe it’s all an inside joke that I’m not a part of, but gonna assume otherwise and I’ll take the first step:
DO NOT OPEN IF YOU WANNA SOLVE IT YOURSELF WITHOUT HELP
What we know:
- The first cipher (Title) is “YFI JLJ GLZI ZLKYIU.”
- The second cipher (Paragraph on the left of the picture) is “EY OLXYIJ ZI YW YIAA TWR. E BLX’Y KYWQ ZT FLXD JUWZ YTQIEXG.”
- The letter “A” is the only highlighted character in the image.
- The word length looks unaltered, which hints towards a substitution-based cipher.
- Punctuation was unaltered, which reinforces the hypothesis of this being a substitution-based cipher that only handles letter substitution.
- Variations on the Caesar cipher proved uneffective to decode the text.
- The ammount of times that “IT’S NOT A GAME.” appears is 30. This number so far wasn’t helpful in any way.
I already made some progress but I don’t want to post it yet. It’s way more fun seeing people slowly inch towards the correct answer on a long ahh thread.

frequency analysis strongly suggests that ‘Y’ is substitute for ‘E’ but the sample size is too small for anything else to be gleaned
Already brute force’d it into a solution
Hint
How does each title begin?
chatgpt says “MY FRIEND IS AN AI TOOL. I WANT HELP TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS.” thanks useless ai for trolling me
I saw the words “frequency analysis” and I was like “yeah this guy tried chatGPT just like me lmao”
no i tried frequency analysis because thats a tech in hoi4
Oooh, fancy stuff!
Honestly I’d like to post the solution and guide but I doubt OP would enjoy seeing his ARG get solved in 20h lmao

You can send direct messages to me on the forums with you’r answer.
By the way this not a real ARG. Well unless you all want it to be.

Having community-wide ARGs for important community events (like a yearly anniversary of the game) with non-balance disrupting in-game rewards for the first few persons to solve the ARGs is something I’d be on board-with ngl

Well I’m not an admin so I cant make that happen. But I post these kind of memes on the forums from time to time. Maybe I will start hideing messages in them for fun.
