no, captain, be careful!
Got the code, too! I'd like to try and crack it, but I need more data! Hopefully that anti-unicorn group member will start talking soon, but please don't be too hard on them, Captain. o_o
ignoring any potentially solved codes because i want to work it out personally.
random gifting would've been cool enough but i'm impressed with how much work is going into this. it's also still all kinds of awesome. :D
editing with code solution.
deciphered code!
"ambush the captain in the ice fields"
really awesome stuff. i wonder what'll happen next.
holy cow, the plot thickens …

Brothers and sisters. For the longest time, we have kept ourselves in silence, silently spreading our work. However, it seems we have been gaining the attention of... certain people, so to speak. We are most pleased to find that we are making a name for ourselves, that people are starting to be aware. Unicorns are the most vile creatures to ever exist in our world. They are not even one of our natural species, but instead, the product of elaborate scientific research, bent on pushing its Agenda of Evil on the populace. They have only been perfected some time around the 1980's, where they have rewritten history to show that they have been present in the Tales of the Ancients. They as a species appear highly docile and innocuous, particularly gaining the attention of naïve and vacuous children who know no better. I cannot blame them, for I was once one of them. There are many deaths caused by the highly deceptive and manipulative unicorn. Some of these beasts have been seen devouring their own young. Our researchers have determined that the male unicorn eats its child, if it finds said offspring to be more beautiful than itself. They are a vain and proud species, one that subliminally corrupts the young through erroneous stories of "sparkles, magic, and friendship". In fact, they stand for the exact opposite of these, with subliminal phallic undertones that their horns emit, as well as the vanity they embody. Unicorns must be eradicated from our world. Join us, the UNIted Citzens Opposed to the Raunchy and New Species (UNICORN), an anti-unicorn group devoted to informing the Subetan population of the evils of unicorns. We are supplied by a benefactor with a way to detect unicorns in hiding, however, this technology is something that must be kept secret. Upon pledging to support our cause, we will send out a gadget with this novel technology, for you to detect unicorns in your vicinity. Join us in our fight. Save today's children, and tomorrow's hope! - Rev. A. Woo, United Citzens Opposed to the Raunchy and New Species (UNICORN) 2013
But... but... unicorns :( :(
our group is awesome, not to mention unique even i'd bet by subetan standards. :D
editing this to avoid double posting. just got given a dark matter short sword with the same grim accusatory message. i dunno, i'm not a unicorn kind of person myself but the captain seems sincere in the belief they should be protected, or he's under unicorn mind control. still keeping the pinklicorns safe until i get more proof because extinction sounds like drastic and literal overkill.
plot is entirely too amusing and fun.
i also feel compelled to visit the ice fields.
off topic field trip to the ice fields
I am confused! :P I got the deciphered code.. but, why is everyone talking to the captain saying to be careful.. just a universal ..thing? x) Annnd, is there a next step? scratches head and drools.

I'm a little late due to just getting online.
My Friend I thank for the service you have already done for the Unicorn Defense Squadron. I have seen your support and it inspires both myself and my men and fills our hearts with hope that we might put this threat to rest. I feel that we are growing closer to unraveling the mystery of why these scoundrels wish the extinction of the unicorns as well as how exactly they are managing to locate them. We recently captured a member of the group and while he refuses to answer any questions he was carrying with him a message. Unfortunately it seems to be in code. I hate to once again ask for your aid, but I have neither the time nor the manpower to dedicate to cracking this code. One of my men has told me that he believes this to be just a simple substitution cipher code. If you can research that and decode the message then maybe we can discover their next move before they make it. NZOHFU GUR PNCGNVA VA GUR VPR SVRYQF There has been word the many members of the Anti Unicorn group have been gathering in the Artic Frost, so that is where we are heading now. Once again I will update you when I can. Don't loose heart. Captain Horace Evergrove The United Unicorn Defense Squadron

"ambush the captain in the ice fields"
salutes I will crack that code for you Cap'tain, and I will put my all into protecting this little magical creature!
if you read the deciphered code then
read only after reading the deciphered code
you'd know there's a plot to ambush the captain in the ice field. hence comments like "captain, be careful out there man. they're planning an ambush!"
Yeah, I just find it weird that everyone is saying the same/similar things is all.
I was wondering if it was yet, another code of some kind or something. :P
[edit]
Got the last present with the dark matter sword... I sense a battle dome invite soon. Ugh :P

Suspicious suspicious! Where is the captain!? Oh ... a code?
most natural response? humanity is odd enough that phenomenally unique ideas can be thought of in detail and developed on opposite sides of the planet without the people involved having anything in common. if i remembered any i'd cite examples. happens a lot with inventions and development and occasionally entertainment. probably less notable these days because the internet makes a world wide flow of shared knowledge.
either way, it's less than convenient because we have no way to contact the captain.
I read somewhere that either the radio or the telegraph was an incident of parallel invention. :D I stop reading this thread for a while, and suddenly there's another cipher. D:
Hmm. I just didn't feel as into it I suppose. :)

Think this has anything to do with the captain?
