The First Annual Fodmodmadtol Code Breaking Competition

Ready?

No, you're not. You don't even know what's going on.

Welcome to The First Annual Fodmodmadtol Code Breaking Competition. The Competition proceeds as following as according to me. Round One will begin, and you will be given either a riddle, image, or a string of coding. Your duty is to decode what you are handed, and to figure out what is meant, where to go, or how to move on in The Competition. You cannot move onto another Round without completing the Round before it. If one person accomplished Round One, and they move onto Round Two, others are still allowed to attempt and accomplish Round One and move along in The Competition. However, only one person will win. There are a set ammount of Rounds, the number of which will not be disclosed. Your goal is to reach the Nebulous Criteria. If you win, the Nebulous Criteria which you meet will be the prize itself. I will not help anyone with this, in the matter of anything. If you cannot decipher what I say, then you do not move on to the next Round. The prize you win, the Nebulous Criteria, is a completely IC manifestation for II or NS, and how you use it is no concern of mine.

Ready?

Thought so.

ROUND ONE

Soviet Russia as described by Santa Barbara,
The Rosian Culture has nothing!

Mirror image inverted falls, half way foward half way back, upon itself entwined. Letters foward. Letters back. Cloaked in shadow opposite; Alphabet bent over back.
Where A is Z, and B is Y, and C's facade is that of X.

Damn right, foo. :p

Now actually make a round five, because I know you haven't yet. ;)

I'm surprised I got that far. No. 4 was a big of a mindboggler at first. Almost went on a tangent, but rectified my mistake. Anyway, looking forward to Round Five.

I got what he was trying to get us to do, but I didn't get the entire picture until later on.

FYI: You're not out if you get one wrong. So, like, keep trying. And if you ever get stuck on something, do a bit of digging through some reaaally old Threads, and read veeery carefully.

The Resi Corporation has exhausted all plea bargains, and will receive no further aide aside from publically broadcast messages such as this. All contestants have stalled.

Bump!

Pimp.
