Z340 Cipher Alternative Partial Solution.

This was before I knew it had already been solved by a team; I was a year too late. So, here's my horse to their camel. I had the idea that the cipher was cut in half, starting between the hash marks. I only solved from the marks down. The solution which worked for the bottom half didn't work for the top.

"--This is the Zodiac-- speaking I will not end the game before I take what I killed on hunting trips Killing paradice servants wont end I need another victim Shame to wait as pests are out to spoil my fun -- I left hint at real name."

The last sentence was me just desperate to be rid of the game. I don't like it, especially since there's already the z13.

As I woke I had the idea that now I spin the cipher and flip --This is the Zodiac-- for the key to the second half of the cipher.

What was your process for extracting that message from the bottom half?

Trial and error. I have a double-sided whiteboard I drew the symbols on, leaving just enough space below each line to keep track of all the possible letters. Always keeping in mind that a repeated symbol could be the double L for Kill, possibly double Ss. I scribbled away in a notebook, too. Then it was just trying and retrying, staring and staring at the board until I saw words.
