    If anyone can solve the following puzzle within a week, I will give them my spawn plot in Creative 2 (2;1). If no-one solves the puzzle within a week, I will lock this thread and (possibly) create a new puzzle some time in the future.

    How the puzzle works:
    The puzzle is a cipher, meaning that a message has been passed through many different layers of encryption. Your goal is to find this message.

    Each layer of encryption uncovers a hint to how to remove the next layer of code.

    The code is a sentence, and spaces have been removed to prevent guessing attempts.

    This is my first try at one of these puzzles, so don't get mad if there are mistakes.

    Rules
    • You may not use any kind of decoding software that processes the encrypted message.
    • Please do not give others hints towards the solution.
    • IMPORTANT: If you think you have found the solution, PM me and DO NOT reply to this thread with it.
    • You may only submit one guess.
    The Puzzle


    On the day of Caesar’s Ides lies his cipher.

    Good Luck!


    Update: If you were having trouble with the second hint, there was an error which I have now fixed.

    @Konohito solved the puzzle and turned down the prize..... so....

    I guess I'll create a harder one later today.

    The answer was:

    "Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall"
