Well, since my dog couldn't make the jump. We where just stuck at the little rock and my dog started to say something and we was just standing there and holding each other just like Shaggy and Scooby doo usually do when they are scared of some monster. So my conclusion was: "Aha of course, this is just Scooby doo!" :doh:

First, I had to find the key word. Playfair cyphers depend on words to be in pairs. The only combination of letters that doesn't make a pair is in the title of the post: w0av8ec. Seven letters means that it's likely the key word. So we put that in our playfair square, which is now 6x6 because of the inclusion of numbers:
W | 0 | A | V | 8 | E |
C | B | D | F | G | H |
I | J | K | L | M | N |
O | P | Q | R | S | T |
U | X | Y | Z | 1 | 2 |
3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 9 |
So now we can decipher the rest of the combinations.
And now we're left with the final combinations of words:
8eorjuds
6va605pb
qcrwtrbv
ywad4kcv
rj6ooulb
Now what do these mean? Well first, we replace the numbers with their corresponding letters of the alphabet (A=0, B=1, etc.):
Ieorjuds
GvaGAFpb
qcrwtrbv
ywadEkcv
rjGooulb
Then, using some knowledge of text-speak and word shortening, we expand the message and reveal the truth behind this post:

- There is probably a parallel universe in which Jaden Smith plays Doctor Who. This is probably also the worst universe to live in.
"DON'T BLINK OR IT GETS YOU!"
"But How Can We Blink If Our Eyes Aren't Real?" - I should start a thread on DreamViews about people's random shower thoughts.
