Tobibot coded message
From ARG Guide/Trail Wiki
Someone or something called tobibot>/font> logged in during a conference with Thad and left the following message:
tobiibot: /2[98|40|122|12+88|40|154|122|148|126|136|138|12+90|134|40|158|12+92|150|40|108|136|122|128|4+90|40|114|122|148|126|136|138|12+90|134|40|122|12+86|12+86|40|12+92|132|40|158|12+92|150|4+90]
The first /2 means number must be divided before decoding the string. Then we get:
49|20|61|6+44|20|77|61|74|63|68|69|6+45|67|20|79|6+46|75|20|54|68|61|64|2+45| 20|57|61|74|63|68|69|6+45|67|20|61|6+43|6+43|20|6+46|66|20|79|6+46|75|2+45|
Each number is the hexadecimal value in ASCII for the corresponding letter. The sums were used to avoid using the letters A-F which would have made it obvious to anyone with an understanding of hexadecimal.
So the solution is:
I aJ watchiKg yLu ThadC WatchiKg aII \f y\uG
The funky letters in the first line are the direct translations of the sums. Using common sense to correct them we get the final solution:
I am watching you Thad. Watching all of you!
