The Televangelist

The current instagram profile picture.

### Affiliation

The Televangelist strongly disagrees with Stephanie's goal to integrate all the other alters, and believes that they should all have their own chance to 'vote' for the new host.

**The Televangelist** or Tsileht\*¤ge\*¤\*n\*¤¤\*aTelev is the alter that took over Stephanie's Instagram account. They only speak in code and have displayed anti-Stephanie sentiments. Their codes often reiterate these feelings quite pointedly, and on occasion lead to external websites that seem to expose or mock Stephanie. It's unknown if this is one entity, similar to the other alters, or a collection a select few.

Their profile image reads YCFTISGQLZ. As of yet it has not been solved but it is speculated to be an enigma code not yet meant to be deciphered.

## Profile

### Appearance

In all of the Instagram posts, the Televangelist is depicted as a humanoid with a television for a head, which often displays an image that plays a part in deciphering the code in the caption. In the artists' sketch, released after the discontinuation of the ARG, the Televangelist is depicted in a red 50's style swing dress with different coloured polka dots, black and white striped stockings, four arms (each of which seems to represent one of the four main alters) and a set of wings similar to those seen in the Instagram profile picture. The television's screen displays SMPTE colour bars.

### Personality

After the Televangelist took over the Instagram account, they were frequently online and available to chat with concerned users. Initially, the entity behind this account seemed suspicious of the interest in them and their account, and showed that they were insecure about the attention they were receiving, but could also send a variety of seemingly random emojis depending on what users were asking them or how the entity behind the account was feeling. They spoke in codes that needed to be deciphered, and upon this discovery, one user went on to communicate with them exclusively in binary code, and after 20 minutes the Televangelist revealed that they were not decoding what the user was saying, displaying a high level of sass and a fluctuating mood and temperament.

### Puzzles

The first image was accompanied by "2 61 11 97 47 73 61 11 2 37 37 97 3 11 37 23 11 79 23 43 17 71 19 23 67?" and displayed a woman in polka-dot with an umbrella and a television for a head. She's sitting on the amazon logo which is a hint to the prime cipher used. It then reads "*A R E Y O U R E A L L Y B E L I E V I N G T H I S*?" It was posted when Stephanie first returned.

The second is a weatherman with a more modern looking TV showing an old ad for bacon pointing at a weather map of england. The numbers are a short weather code that spell out R E S P O N S E S . this has lead to stephanielawsonstevens.faith/responses.html.

It was accompanied with "/b5K3ZBGj" which is tacked onto a pastebin address that lead to the code: "NNOOONOONOONONNNONOOONNOONNNONNNOOONONONNOONONOONNNNOONNNONNONNNNONNONNONNNNONONONNNONNOOONNONNONNNOONNONNNNNNONNNNONNONONNNOONNOOONNNONONNNNOONNNNOONONNONNNOOONNONNNONONNOONOONNOONNONNNNNNNNNOONNNNNNNONNNNOONNONNNOONNONONOONNOONOONNOO" Using a bacon cipher and the letters N and O we get the phrase "*W H A T H A P P E N S W H E N S H E U S E S T H E L O V E A G A I N S T Y O U*"

The third picture is a woman in another polka-dot dress this time standing on a television with a speech cloud saying "Golly!" The description reads "555065679846466446906790678398677856440667504667003570657687337955767877765547895458877378376976777074506676" Which is a nihilist cipher hinted at by Nietzsche on the television. Using the A-Y grid and the keyword Golly! you come out with http://memorial.yourtribute.com/S-L-Stevens/

Using a ROT cipher you'll get "*So graceful and lithe. The white swan heed no mind to those that couldn't fill their voidsome and bottomless hunger for more. Why not fill it with cement? It's sturdy and permanent and keeps all within safe and secure. Why not fill yourself up with cement and stay forever as perfect as you'll ever be again. The rotting process is painful. Your computer monitor is filled with cement*."

In the guest book a comment by YCF TISGQLZ with a profile pic of Flo from progressive reads "Xip ep zpw vjkpm arx duh xvmrk liv tmtyt qnpk zngz" and using a progressive caesar cipher you get "*Who do you think you are using her photo like tha*t"
