My first hint towards my cipher in #99385:
As I imagine is the first step in anybody’s deciphering attempt, chucking this ciphertext into frequency analysis reveals something interesting. Every character appears with an almost equal frequency. Even skipping characters, like we are looking at a vigenère cipher, doesn’t reveal much more! It seems as though the text is almost completely random, which would make deciphering impossible.
While I will say that each character has been encoded individually using a caesar cipher, and the amount it has been shifted by is random, the value with which it has been shifted by is not too large. Furthermore, everyone here will almost certainly know what this key is.
