Hmm, what about those who don't realise that this is one in a series of satirical 'graphs' and therefore involves neither researchers or reporters?

Epiphanies should generate hagiographies, not platitudes.

Well, then, time for you to get crackin' on that hagiograph dedictated to "W∴ Balboos".

Your particular volume, ultimately but one of many on the subject, will or won't be a platitude based solely upon you writing abilities.

The answer is teacup though i have no idea why, just got it from the storm bit.

HobbyProggy3-Aug-15 23:43

Yes its teacup!

Well i dont know how to "draw" a teacup with 6 characters Smile | :)

The first 3 should symbol a teabag and the last 3 the cup Blush | :O

Sh*t didn't see WSO. I haven't got a clue what is expected from me.

I don't know what FSOW means. Am I suppose to draw something in Ascii? Can I use only 6 charcters, no more no less?

I can't tell you how confused I am about this - I only got it from the hint, can you imagine someone getting the CCC on the hint alone with out understanding the clue they would just post random words the next day

Apparently looks like a teabag?

The rules are simple:
1. Pick a word
2. Replace every letter with a sign, where the same letter must be replace with the same sign
3. Add a hint

There is no logical/mathematical relation between the signs and the letters...

<:> -> Teabag
|_# -> Cup

With the Hint, it seems it was kinda "obvious"

The game is basically about choosing a word and obfuscating it:
E.g.

Stuff -> Could be 57_}} or $7v|| or whatever you like, yesterday we had an equation[^] you could even do that or something else cryptic.

It's up to you. The hints are given to describe what the word could be, it is about guessing, so there is no restriction on how it must be clear that the word reflects in the obfuscation.

Another example : face = (8-) is more the "symbolic" way to go, with the hint "everyone has one".
