  1. For those of you who didn't take ARG Codes 101 a few years back, the first level converts to
    ---------------------------------
    ecaep ni tser ton seod eissac

    |||||||||||T||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||S||||||||||||||||E||||||
    ---------------------------------
    Horizontal lines are mine; the top line is obviously "cassie does not rest in peace" in reverse.

    The other part is non-intuitive to me, I tried aligning pipes both on the first line as well as by the letters, but I found no obvious pattern.
    There also does not seem to be any significant rotation of "TSE", other than possibly "UTF", but the data left is too uniform to assume it has anything to do with character encodings.

    The only thing I can see right now is that, through the reversal, the sequence "tse" also appears in the plaintext message as the start of reverse "rest", so maybe one is supposed to align the pipe characters on the plain text, count the resulting pipes for each row, and convert that number to a character. *shrugs*

    Alternatively, it's possible there exists a quotation/sentence of the same length as the second line which can be identified by lining it up based on the three characters.

    Lastly, it is worth noting that the tumblr this was posted on uses the header "tahneetas do it best.", which, if reversed, would start with "tse", and also contains additional t, s and e.

  3. Years have passed and this thing is still lacking an edit function...

    T, S and E are the 20th, 19th and 5th letters of the alphabet, maybe they're not meant to be taken literally, but to give numerical hints about what to do with the pipe characters.

    Alternatively, they could indicate a date or a time in some way or another (e.g. 20th of this month, 19:05).

    The reversed opening line could also be a hint that the solution requires reversal of something.

  4. Always a pleasure to see something like this if only for the fact that it brings you out for a comment, Ren :)

    If it is a cassie-esque puzzle, one would think that the header "tahneetas do it best" is an anagram.

    Cheers,

    Apo

  7. Here's a thought: What if there's no code at all? What if it's a plain matter of counting the pipe characters?

    11T98S16E6 or, reversed, 6E61S89T11 or 6E16S98T11, could be a short url, video ID, password, tumbler id, map coordinates, safe combination, twitter account or lord knows what.
    S16E6 could refer to season 16, episode 6 of some long-running series (Simpsons, Dr. Who, ...).

    In its various configurations, the numbers would plain alphabetically translate to:
    1 1 T 9 8 S 1 6 E 6 = A A T I H S A F E F
    11 T 9 8 S 16 E 6 = K T I H S P E F

    6 E 6 1 S 8 9 T 11 = F E F A S H I T K
    6 E 6 1 S 8 9 T 1 1 = F E F A S H I T A A

    6 E 16 S 9 8 T 11 = F E P S I H T K
    6 E 1 6 S 9 8 T 1 1 = F E A F S I H T A A
    ...which, again, could be short urls, video IDs, passwords...

    Then you can go and argue that, with the hint to reversal, maybe the original letters now need to be numbers...
    A A 20 I H 19 A F 5 F
    K 20 I H 19 P 5 F

    F 5 F A 19 H I 20 K
    F 5 F A 19 H I 20 A A

    F 5 P 19 I H 20 K
    F 5 A F 19 I H 20 A A

    If you turn the entire thing into numbers (i.e. count the pipes and convert the letters: 1 1 20 9 8 19 1 6 5 6 - 11 20 9 8 19 16 5 6 - 6 5 6 1 19 8 9 20 11 - 6 5 6 1 19 8 9 20 1 1 - 6 5 16 19 9 8 20 11 - 6 5 1 6 19 9 8 20 1 1), you also have countless of opportunities to convert the groups with the keypad of your phone.

    And as Apo (*waves*) pointed out, anagrams might also be in play.

    So yeah...without some indication of the direction this is supposed to take, this'll be more down to luck than anything.

    Going by everything we've seen so far, I'm inclined to believe a simple solution is more likely than a complex one, but "simple" is open to interpretation and depends on the person.

    Anyone up for a lucky guess?

  8. Well, "tahneetas do it best" is what eeka (Tahnee) has at the top of her tumblr, to which the anonymous comment was posted.

    http://tahneeta.tumblr.com/

    Nice work, Renegade. I got those numbers, but never thought to separate them that way:
    1 1 T 9 8 S 1 6 E 6 = A A T I H S A F E F, which anagrams to "a safe faith."
    11 T 9 8 S 16 E 6 = K T I H S P E F = "fish kept"
    6 E 6 1 S 8 9 T 11 = F E F A S H I T K = "fake shift"

    So...assuming we aren't being told to assemble at the Church of the One True Cassie to watch Cassie perform the miracle of fake, shifty loaves and fishes...intangible nonsense? We had also considered that it could be a location, since there's an E (east) and S (south) and numbers...but what would T be, and how would one arrange the numbers into a location?

    I think "anonymous" needs to give us more to work with.

  9. If there's one thing you learn doing this for a while, it's that you can interpret everything as everything. ;)

    "T" is a common member of timestamps separating the date from the time - so it's perfectly reasonable to assume 11T98S16E6 is the 11th day of the month, 98th minute of the day (or 09:08 o' clock) at 16 south, 6 east (which could be grid squares on a map...of Second Life, maybe?).
    (It is notable that the reverse fully-numberified versions of the string end in "2011", and therefore might very well contain dates.)


    But yeah, I concur...a direction would help.
