Hello everyone! Last chapter we got a sneak peek into the privatters, and today, we are going fully in depth!
Each character in CORRUPT has their own stats! These stats are found through various methods, but it all links back to the privatters. I will be going in the order that we found them in so it doesn't confuse anyone!
The first stat we found was Jimin's, and this link was directly in the book. In the chapter "System Starting...", there are words and numbers that are in bold compared to the rest of the chapter. For example:
It is easier to see the bolded letters when you don't have the background in black (yes I usually read with the tan background >:) You can see here that the number 5 and the word eight are bolded, which are parts of the link.
When gathering all of the bolded numbers and letters in order, it gives us 5822858. As in the other chapter, all privatter links start out the same:
https://privatter.net/i/
Sometimes the "i" can be a "p", but the author usually specifies when it is a p. Since it is not specified here, the link is as so:
https://privatter.net/i/5822858
When you get there, there is a hint that asks, "What is your name?". This name has been mentioned throughout the book, and it is what Lea calls us. Therefore, the password is "Anomaly". Remember, the passwords are always caps sensitive!
By putting in the password, this is what we get! Their stats will most likely effect how the game will play out, and it is very important to always factor in their traits when voting on a poll.
The next one we found was Namjoon's! The AI bot account, DecidophobiaMaker, often posts random numbers to their message board. These are always going to be privatters! They are often posted after a chapter of CORRUPT has been posted. For example, here is Namjoon's link:
https://privatter.net/i/5823204
The hint on this one is, "TestRunMV?". Leah and I only knew this one because we follow the author, Lea, on Twitter. She tweeted some privatter links before CORRUPT was published so we can test them. I do not want to go back through the millions of tweets she has posted, so trust me on this one. The password is, "FilmOut". There are no spaces, and it is caps lock sensitive. This brings us to Namjoon's profile!
Seokjin is the one we got next. However, the author messaged me the link personally as a hint, so normal readers were not able to get it.

The hint is, "Banner of CorruptionBot?". This refers to the DecidophobiaMaker account!
The letters are very big, but it is easy to infer what is says. The password is, "GAMESTART".
Batter up, it's Yoongles next! This link is found in the CORRUPT story, in the "Jungkook's Activites" chapter. This one was a lot harder to decipher...
I was very confused at first, until Lea told me that she told me about what kind of code she used. Thankfully, I saved this screenshot in the general hints channel of the discord server!
Here is a quick picture of what Cistercian numbers look like!
It is hard to explain in words, but you follow the order that the arrows at the bottom point! For example, if you look at the first character of Jungkook's letter picture, it looks like this:
It is easier to look at if you separate each part:
I went in the order of the arrows, which is, bottom left, bottom right, top left, and top right. You can look back at the chart if you want to convert each symbol by hand, but I personally stuck with the decoder website! The numbers here are 5823. Okay, it is time for the second symbol!
Separately, they look like so:
This is 212! If you are doing this all by hand and the chart, you have to ignore all of the zeros places after the first number!
All together, the link is:
https://privatter.net/i/5823212
When you go to the site, the hint is, "D-2 Poll Result". This result is shown in the D-2 chapter, and is the Poll 6 result:
The vote was 50/59, therefore, the password is, "Tie".

The rest of the profiles will be in the next chapter! I am nearing the picture limit, so it is best to do Hoseok's, Jungkook's and Taehyung's next chapter! Remember to leave comments if you want someone to clarify anything you don't understand! Thank you for reading this, and once again, let's continue to have fun!! (:
