So im getting pretty bored sitting around the house during this quarantine. I'm looking for a job in my field, computer science, but nothing has come up yet. one of My specialties at school was cryptography, and since i havent had the chance to use it i figured id make a little game out of it.

the way this works is i will supply an encrypted message and tell you how many steps there are. I may also provide a key, but i wont tell you what step to use it on. I wont do anything too crazy like binary shifts or a block cipher encryption, ill keep it simple. when you solve a step you get 5000 viz, and ill provide a hint each step.

first lets see an example: pwhilpac, 2 steps, key=1
step 1 hint = inverse.
in this case the 1st step is to get the inverse of the letters via a reverse alphabet:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA

here we see it translates to: kdsrokzx

step 2 hint = additive cipher.

this is where we use our key of 1 and move each letter over by 1:

so
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
becomes:
BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZA

answer: lets play.

so now lets try a real round. we will do each step one at a time, but if you solve the whole thing1 or more than one step go ahead and post each step.

lets start out with something real simple:

BNMHO1MCUHUCCNGJQ

steps 2. key = 5.

hint: inverse

also the 1 doesnt need to change.

So I tried following your stuff hoping it would be easy like your original and the text kinda fits but also does not make sense to me.

Step 1 I tried reversing the alphabet and translating BNMHO1MCUHUCCNGJQ to YMNSL1NXFSFXXMTQJ.

Step 2 I then moved the alphabet to the right 5 which resulted in alphabet looking like this FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDE

Which translated above text to DHING1SCKXASSROVO which yeah you can kinda see how it makes out a certain someone someone that drag loves so much. If this ends up being right give someone else the Viz.

very good! you got the first step correct pokemon x.

so now the text has been translated to: YMNSL1NXFSFXXMTQJ

now its time for step 2

hint: additive cipher.

yes its the same as the example figured i should keep it simple, plus i figured anyone inexperienced might still have a little trouble with it. plus it has a little twist.

I got the answer to this, but I'll refrain from posting until pokemon x finds it, or concedes.

pennylessz : If you want to go ahead post. Still don't have much time today to do it and I guess this prevents you from double posting.

Edit. Found the difference..
You have to use forward and reverse alphabet to I assume make words that actually makes sense.

Answer partially THING1SCANASS I don't know the last 4 letters yet trying to figure out what word makes sense.

Edit2 I think the last 4 is ROLE so
THING1SCANASSROLE is my guess

Edit3 If this gets me banned ban drag due to encryption

THING1ISANa**h***

My work https://www.vizzed.com/boards/../smd/photo_album_pics/fullsize/127833-1596219534.png

In a bit I will probably show an indepth guide how I did albeit it should be pretty easy to figure out based on what all is said. But it will be on my last post in this thread.

Seems legit totally adds up.
I see that edit change to make it seem like it add up to right number of letters.

Here is my beautiful explanation.
