Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I might have it figured out. This is what’s known as “Truncated Phonetic Curry Code.” It’s a hidden message, or in this case, a hidden question.
The code works thusly: You are given 2 sets of sentences, 2 lists, and 1 ending word. Like this:
2 sentences:
When you've had your fun ...
and your work is done, you:
2 lists:
must not
must
1 ending word:
... succumb?
You’re supposed to do a letter substitution to get a phonetic message or question. You substitute the last letters in the first sentence of the first and third words. In this case “When” and “had.” You substitute with the last letters of the words in the first list: mus(t) and no(t). In this case, the substitution is “t” in both cases. That changes “When” and “had” to “Whet” and “hat.”
So “Whet and “hat” is the first part of the message/question.
Then you use the first and third words in the next sentence, just like before, but in this case the words are “and” and “work.” Again, you substitute the letters in the corresponding list (the second list). But since there is just one word, “must”, you have to use the last letter “t” and the first letter “m” for the substitutions. So the words “and” and “work” become “ant” and “worm.”
So “ant” and “worm” is the next part of the message.
You put it all together with the last word “succumb” and you get this hidden question:
Whet hat, ant worm succumb?
Now it becomes so obvious even someone with an IQ of 175 could figure it out. When your hat is wet (when it’s raining), what will succumb to the rain? The ant or the worm?
We’ve probably all seen worms come up to the surface of the grass when it rains because they can’t handle the rain. However, the resourceful ant just hides underground in a tunnel watching TV and drinking very dry martinis until the rain lets up.
The answer to the question is the ant. It’s that simple.
Brillant!

Yes, yes! Goddamnit man, you've won the world. You've pulled back the patch that has obscured the code of truth. If there is any form of sexual gratuity you do not deserve, please, make me the first to know but until then let's keep this whole thing going. We're onto something. No, you are onto something. I can't help but set you up for greatness because I lack the necessary greatness to execute, but not you. You're not lacking. You are worthy, and you will get yours, and when you do, not a single one will fail to come to the realization simultaneously with all others, and that's really what this is all about, but you already knew that. Let this serve as a proclamation of honor and gratitude. I expect others to come forth with similar proclamations lest they be "left out."
Two guys meet up in a bar. The first one asks, "Did your hear the news - Mike is dead??!!!"
"Woah, what the hell happened to him?"
"Well he was on his way over to my house the other day and when he arrived outside the house he didn't brake properly and boom - He hit the curb, the car flipped over and he crashed through the sunroof - Went flying through the air and smashed through my upstairs bedroom window."
"What a horrible way to die!"
"No no, he survived that, that didn't kill him at all. So, he's landed in my upstairs bedroom and he's all covered in broken glass on the floor. Then, he spots the big old antique wardrobe we have in the room and reaches up for the handle to try to pull himself up. He's just dragging himself up when bang, this massive wardrobe comes crashing down on top of him, crushing him and breaking most of his bones."
"What a way to go, that's terrible!"
"No no, that didn't kill him he survived that. He managed to get the wardrobe off him and crawls out onto the landing, he tries to pull himself up on the banister but under his weight, the banister breaks and he goes falling down on to the first floor. In mid air, all the broken banister poles spin and fall on him, pinning him to the floor, sticking right through him."
"Now that is the most unfortunate way to go!"
"No no, that didn't kill him, he even survived that. So he's on the downstairs landing, just beside the kitchen. He crawls in to the kitchen, tries to pull himself up on the stove, but reached for a big pot of boiling hot water, whoosh, the whole thing came down on him and burned most of his skin off him."
"Man, what a way to go!"
"No no, he survived that, he survived that! He's lying on the ground, covered in boiling water and he spots the phone and tries to pull himself up, to call for help, but instead he grabs the light switch and pulls the whole thing off the wall and the water and electricity didn't mix and so he got electrocuted, wallop, 10,000 volts shot through him."
"Now that is one awful way to go!"
"No no, he survived that..."
"Hold on now, just how the hell did he die?"
"I shot him!"
"You shot him? What the hell did you shoot him for?"
"He was wrecking my house."
"Woah, what the hell happened to him?"
