[Code On]Lets make codes for the cracking!

The idea here is pretty simple. Devise a code, or use someone elses and post a message that uses that code for everyone else to figure out. You can give clues, like a codex of some kind or a cryptic riddle that is a clue to solving the code.
Don't worry about waiting for a code to be solved before you post your own, just post it.

Here is a nice, easy coded message to start things rolling.

    Awesome.

    I can't be bothered getting a PGP program for warlocks, so someone else can figure it out.... Does PGP even work that way?

    This is a real simple one if you know anything about (god awful) encryption.

    I have a good one I made up by myself.

    Three clues.
    1. Work backwards to begin with.
    2. Use this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp
    3. The answer is a number.

    These are encryptions and cyphers, not codes. Thread fails to deliver.

    I can't believe you limit yourself to such a code. HEHE, albeit you got 3 lives but who wants an extra 3 lives.
