Spoiler: I'VE WRITTEN A PROGRAM WHICH ENCIPHERS ANY MESSAGE

Augi won!

Some history for those of you that must must know!

This is known as a Caesar cipher. In short, all the letters are shifted in a direction. Here, the alphabet is shifted three letters to the right (note the solitary "d" in the message, a good place to assume it is either an "a" or an "i").

Code:
EPHL HLYE K VKCLKD VHJPCD. EPHL IYC
LHEL HY NDIYE IN FIG CWCY DHOPE YIB.
TCXDKL KDC LEDHJCM EI JDIECVE EPCZLCSWCL
NDIZ JDCMKEIDL. TCXDKL DGY AGHVRSF.
This one isn't a Caesar cipher. However, it is based off of a pattern that we use all the time.

Geeze I haven't made ciphering algorithms for years. Jocke, if you are into ciphering, you should check out Enigma@Home, a BOINC project, that works to crack the last M4 Enigma message sent by the Germans in WWII. There were three messages that were not deciphered, and only recently have two been cracked.
