Domination Discussioncrackednut Posted:
Go here http://www.forumwarz.com/competition use the pulldown marked speedruns. Several of the forums have times (in seconds) listed for good, great, and incredible runs.
In my experience, my connection speed has played an enormous role in what times I can get for a forum. Sorry.
Edited to fix typo. (view post) |

How did YOU get to know about ForumWarz?Kingdom of Loathing wiki. ‘cause I’m a follower.
I’m having a ton of fun so far, and I intend to donate. It would be nice if you could buy something that enhanced gameplay without being disqualified from the competitive aspects of the game. I can’t think of what would be appropriate in the context of this game, however. Log in to see images! (view post) |

I’m fairly certain -5 will do it. I’m basing that on several ideas I submitted
EDIT: see post above, duplicate thread. (view post) |

ASCII Art does not work in tubmailThat’s funny enough to be nearly worth the trouble you went through to do it. Log in to see images! (view post) |

haxlrose's profile info - vague spoilerMrThePlague Posted: Thanks for the insight. I’ve been reading about how XOR works, and I can see why you’d use that before trying anything more complex. It seems almost useless in terms of breaking a “secure” encryption, but for an online puzzle it’s (demonstrably) adequate. EDIT: Evil Trout Posted: |

haxlrose's profile info - vague spoilerSkyreal Posted: Apologies, I meant that before anyone mentioned XOR, my brain just thought try inverting the binary. I didn’t have any knowledge of programming, so that was as far as my “cryptanalysis” went. Basically I got plain lucky. I’m a bit curious what prompted MrThePlague to use XOR and to XOR “each bit” by 255. Did he try other values as well, or did he try XOR by 255 because he, unlike myself, knew that that was the fastest way to invert the binary. Clearly, knowing what I know now, and with the code already posted, using ruby is far easier. (view post) |

haxlrose's profile info - vague spoilerI solved it using a different method. I was not familiar with the function of the XOR operator, I don’t have many tools on my system, and visual C# studio is great timesbersome.I tried, on a whim, replacing all of the 1s with 0s and all of the 0s with 1s, then using http://www.roubaixinteractive.com/PlayGround/Binary_Conversion/Binary_To_Text.asp to convert the output to text. I had to delete the last 5 characters of the binary code to make groups of 8(bits). Those with limited computing skills, like myself, can use a word processor to ctrl+f find and replace 1s with As, then 0s with 1s, and finally As with 0s, delete the last 5 characters (should be 1s) and feed the result into the binary to decode field at the site linked above. I’m fairly certain that wasn’t how the puzzle was intended to be solved, it just seemed the easiest thing for me to try. (view post) |
