The theme park of worlds, crafted in magic
Techmology opening gates so fantastic
Emagine the life one could have instead
If the Gods’ roulette wheel had lamded sn red
But the memories gained at this theme park are fake
Like dreams printad off for nostalgia’s sake
A dancer, a film star, a major claims mine
The folly of yeajning for joy predefined
Whot say you to a coliection of friends?
Sure, they may pay, but a journey extends
Into the stars, where trne glories abound
Some luxurious cabins rn which to astound

Misspellings spell out Major's Mine. Check that out for the reward.

Drunken Fist is a real thing.

So why not Drunken Cryptography? (although Cryptography is a bit of an overstatement, still it's a nice and simple idea of obfuscation that is good enough for the general player base)

 

[Frankymole]

I had to look up drunken fist. I thought it might be something to do with the recognisable Morse sending style of a person (I think "fist" is the slang for their individual rhythm on the contact).

mEmsadjoinr... doesn't seem like it.

mEmsadjoinr... doesn't seem like it.

Maybe a small glass of Baileys for that one

Would a good Single Malt be recommended for bouts of Drunken Cryptography, by chance?

Dear Mr. Frankymole,
I regret to inform you that your application for Bletchley Park has been unsuccessful.

mEmsadjoinr... doesn't seem like it.

Hey don't stress Frankymole....that's exactly what I got...maybe I'm too dumb for Bletchley Park too but hey, that IS what the spelling mistakes spell... I can see it in an anagram of those letters but if that's how you crack the code we'd be unscrambling letters all year to crack the other clues.

I'm as much in the dark as to how CMDR Seat Belt came up with Major's Mine. Is there a key...or do you just keep anagramming it until you come up with something that makes sense?

You need to drink far more.

Row 7 says "a major claims mine" but that's hardly hidden, is it?

 

[Ian Doncaster]

The article as a whole is referring to the Worldcraft corporation, which is linked to the Epsilon Eridani system, which helps with the decoding.

Certainly the hardest anagram of the three so far, though.

 

[sgurr]

mEmsadjoinr... doesn't seem like it.

I didn't see the 'd' ?

But yeah, the name's in the text anyway so don't get why they also put it as the anagram, and the other 2 clues didn't indicate the world, and if they did please educate me if I missed something!

I had good fun working it out though, looking forward to this week's batch.
Edit: I definitely appreciate that it's self contained in the game

 

[thirdeye333]

Yeah, once I had the planet the other clues fell into place...search for the planet, find the system, visit the system, find the settlement ... play with fireworks

mEmsajoinr then. Still makes zero sense.

 

[Zieman]

mEmsajoinr then. Still makes zero sense.

Anagram. Not case sensitive.

 

[Max Bothin]

I think it is "mEmsajjoinr" (one "major" should be "mayor" right? A mayor claims mine. anyway. The right letters would be "nInieyraluo". Anyone descrambled that?
