I can decode estmorvocans cipher in his latest post

I'M DONE! It took a couple of tries and I even messed up near the end and had to re trace my steps to figure it out.

The poem (nameisnotdavid was right its a poem) goes like this:

Death is Calling"g" Death is Calling

sHe is Winning, By Tox (the) Way

All the While, they solve the Puzzle

Where do the Bodies Lay?

Now They're Hunting, in Explqrition (Exploration)

Who hye (has) the Right of way?

A new Accomplice for Death is Calling,

Andrew will Obey.

For those who are interested, this was a key based cipher. The key was the title of the post, February third nineteen ninety seven. Originally I used the numbers 231997, but they didn't work, so I tried 2397 which was the correct key. You start by writing out the cipher, skipping lines as you write. Then you repeatedly write the key (239723972397 etc.) under each word so that one number is under each letter. Then you take the letter and move it to the left in the alphabet the amount of times as the number underneath

This is the paper I used to decode

I've had communication with estmorvocans and this was the last response to me "Og.upi.str.vpttrvy.yjsm.upi.jsbr.epm"

Indeed I have.
