Well, in my new hunt to keep you all entertained, and in the wait for Name Four ( ;) )

It's time for a new game.

The aim? Crack the code. I'll throw in a clue every day or so, and you can enter for a week from this post, after which I'll get a mod to close it.

Send me a PM with your answer, and I'll reveal the results after the week is up.

This one's a fairly simple one, it's probably too simple, the text used is from the good folks at Wikipedia.

amxlx lierr syrgi hirhs jxlia evwvm peroe wwxsg oibgl erkiv ikmwx ivihm xwwmb xllmk liwxt ivgir xekik emrizi v.

It looks difficult but there is very little encoding done there :)

So, does that mean if we pull out of both Afghanistan and Iraq, we'll spark a world economic recovery? :P

How long before the first clue? I have some obvious things to try, but I won't really have time tonight. These kind of things always seem like a race to get the first answer, but I have my very first day at work tomorrow and I need an early night!

*Looks around* No....

@JJ, considering how easy it'll be if I mention a clue, it may not be for a couple of days :)
