It's an original composition... I hope you like it.

Pretty sweet stuff. I never bothered to talk about my analysis on Scrag's sig because I thought everyone knew the drill already since BFNP was announced.

I had to put the punctuation back in - the last verse could be misread, otherwise, and it spoiled it.

You may need to refresh if you've seen it already.

In the last line of the third stanza, what does the fourth symbol in the first word stand for?

EDIT: NEVER MIND, I GOT IT!

Uumm, I can't read that...

You have do decipher it using either logical analysis of the text in conjunction with the language it is potentially using, or, in this case, use Hellscrag's signature, which you must guess, to find out some of the letters and fill them it. Once you do that, some words, though incomplete, will appear obvious, and you can fill in the missing letters. Once you do that, you find those missing letters' symbols elsewhere in the message (or poem) and fill them in, making more words even more obvious, until you have all of the letters needed and have replaced all of the symbolic letters with their alphabetical counterparts.

EDIT: A hint, some letter combinations are represented by one symbol in this particular alphabet.

I know what you mean. It looked freaking hard when I started to try it, but then I started pulling out letters at pace and eventually figured out all of the basic and commonly used letters and words, which made finding the combo-letters much easier to find.

Oh goddamnit, Scrag.

I should have seen it coming...

I've got enough deciphering stuff on student's tests, and now you're giving me this? No way I'm not gonna play with that. Oh no. I really have no time.

I just changed a few letters in the poem that I did last night that looked almost the same but were subtly different. The poem made me feel guilty.
