Caesarian shift using N=16 gives "DRAGON FRUIT DIES FIRST". I protect dragon_fruit35 based on that reasoning.

I feel like this sassy played in a previous game. I don't know who it is, so I'll be able to help you guys out. I solved the clue and then went back and realized that you all had already solved it :lol: . I have no idea where the 16 shift came from, though.

I think it's probably more fun to just play the game though :D

Where did the 16 and N come from? I agree with the protect, though.

The writing style is eerily reminiscent of an earlier sassy game I read...I can't remember which game it was for the life of me though..

N just stands for a value, 16 was the only number that produced an answer that wasn't gibberish.

I IS AN OFFICER NOW YAS

Anyways, back to business. I put "NBKQYX PBESD NSOC PSBCD" into a code solver and I got this:
FRIGHT BROAD FACE BARED
HAVING MAKES HELD MEADS
HAVING RATES HELD READS
TRYING BROAD TAKE BARED
CRYING BROAD CAME BARED
LAYING HAVES LEFT HEATS
FAMING HAVES FELT HEATS
PROACH FRUIT PIES FIRST
LADING HAVES LEFT HEATS
FAVOUR MAKES FELT MEATS

None of them are actually the phrase (unscrambled), but most of them involve either broad, meads, bared, and heats.
:idea:
