    A cryptogram is a phrase or quote that has been encrypted
    by simple letter or number substitution. ~Wordles


    [​IMG]
    As stated from the definition of Cryptogram above, it is a type of puzzle game that consists of a short piece of encrypted text/phrase.
    Was not originally created for entertainment but for encrypting personal secrets or military information in the past.

    This is a Daily (One Day Long) Forum Event where I will be posting a Cryptogram in the scheduled dates (written below) and whoever successfully solve the puzzle wins that particular round.
    (Similar to the last Summer Scrambler Event)
    Our Cryptogram theme?? HALLOWEEN!!


    [​IMG]
    To win this event you'll have to be fast in solving the puzzle!

    I will be posting a Cryptogram and all you have to do is to fill in the letters that correspond to the numbers below the blanks to solve the phrase.

    At the top of the phrase is the KEY that lists all the alphabets from A to Z.
    Each of the letters has a corresponding number from 1 to 26, placed in each letter and totally random. Some letters are already given out to make it easier for you. These are the letters that you need not to bother solving, rather to use it as a guide to solve the other numbers.
    Don't know how to solve a Cryptogram? Here's a very easy guide to help you out:
    How to solve a Cryptogram


    All the phrases that I'll be giving out are from a diary of a Daeva about how he spent his Halloween.
    In-game screenshots will be posted as well together with the Cryptogram to serve as your clue.
    [​IMG]
    Everybody is allowed to join, even Staff members.
    Only ONE (1) winner for each round.
    You can only win ONCE in this event.

    (That means, if you already won from a previous round, you don't get to join and win on the next rounds, again. This is to make sure we are giving chances to others. And don't even try joining with a dummy account. We'll be keeping watchful eyes on every participants of this event. However, the BONUS ROUND is an exceptional.)

    Answer:

    [​IMG]

    Few decoding tips:
    • The most common letters in the English language are: E, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, L, U.
    • Consider letter position. E, for instance, is more likely to appear at a word's end than its beginning.
    • Punctuation may provide clues. A single letter after an apostrophe is usually S or T. A comma is often followed by a conjunction; if a 3 letter word, try AND, BUT, or FOR.
    • A letter standing alone is almost always either A or I.
    • Double letters at the end of the word will often be LL or SS.
    • Double letters in the middle of a 4-letter word will often be EE or OO.
    • Don't hesitate to use some trial-and-error guesswork, but don't hesitate to abandon your initial guesses if they are not working out.

    [​IMG]
    After you successfully decoded the puzzle,
    Send me a Private Message with the correct and complete answer
    and don't forget to follow the format below:

    [TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 300, align: center"]
    [TR]
    [TD]PM Title: [Date] Halloween Cryptogram Entry
    PM content:
    Character Name:
    Server:
    Answer:

    (Just the complete phrase. No numbers, whatsoever.)
    [/TD]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]

    Important Note:
    Make sure to follow this format (at least the PM content) when you send your entry. I wont be accepting any entries with incomplete information in it even if the answer is actually correct.

    You can send more than one entry but ONE ENTRY AT A TIME!
    How does that go? Simple.
    When you send me a PM with your first answer, wait for my reply before you can send your next entry.
    A reply from me will mean two things: Your answer was wrong or your entry is invalid.
    When I informed you that your answer was wrong, that's the only time you can try some luck again.
    If you didn't receive any reply from me? It will mean two things: You won. Or someone else did. So make sure to check the event thread to keep yourself updated.

    [​IMG]
    The first forumer to send me a Private Message of the correct answer will win:
    One (1) Normal or Advanced Prize of his/her choice from this list:
    [New] Forum Event Reward Prize List

    Note: Be informed that prizes chosen by the winners will only be mailed by the end of the month
    (when the event is over).
    [​IMG]
    This is a One Day Long Event that will be hosted on these
    following dates but on random times:
    [TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 400, align: center"]
    [TR]
    [TD]October: 13, 15, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 28, 29,
    November: 1
    [/TD]
    [/TR]
    [/TABLE]

    A particular round will only end if someone successfully figured out the correct answer for that round's given Cryptogram.
    The winner will be announced in this thread together with the answer and that will be the end of that particular round.
    This thread will remain closed however, I will update and "BUMP" this thread when the next round is up!
    Make sure to check the dates to find out when I will be hosting this event but keep in mind that the "time" for each date is totally random.

    [​IMG]
    The first person to send me the correct diary content will win ULTIMATE prize below:

    *Note: Those who won from the previous Cryptogram rounds are free to join this bonus round.
    *Note 2: Entries are valid and acceptable only when sent after announcing the 10th Cryptogram puzzle and its winner.
    *Note 3: After determining the lucky winner of our Bonus Round, a video will be posted along with the winner's announcement for another PLOT TWIST.
