anjohl: This is more about persistence than talent, I think. Persistence and deduction, or is it reduction?
I have no talent.. And so far, my persistence has failed me...

Most cypher breaking consisted of mundane legwork, nothing more.
What I am going to do is post private messages I receive from users that are stuck, and post hints regarding their issues afterwards. Hopefully this will help people.

"ive gathered 3 code fragments
used your caesar code cruncher
puzzled over page 86 of coins
all variations of numbers to shift by (focused on single digit)(3 and 7 make it pop up)
in various combos of shuffling. . .
the three words mocking me "You got it!"

as to your question im completely sure im doing it wrong."

1) I heartily laughed at the thought of someone puzzling over 86 pages of coins, lol! Anjohl, like Santa Claus, can be in multiple places at once.

2) It isn't *my* Caesar code cruncher, it is just *A* cipher, nothing more, nothing less. The site is *filled* with different types of ciphers, the Caesarian variety is just the simplest, and thus, the first on the page.

3) Often times a great undertaking will involve first assembling the tools, arranging them to make them accessible, and then using them in the correct way. Of course, stumbling blocks will present themselves, sometimes at the beginning of a journey, but more often than not, at the end. They say fortune favors the bold, and that an incorrect guess is better than no guess, right?

I think I'm stuck at the same place as adambiser...

I'm at a lost after decoding all 4 pieces of text that I found..
yar i nabbed
Empire Earth: Gold Edition

i found it in your youtube post whilst hunting the 4th code fragment.

thanks for Empire Earth: Gold Edition!

Where? Can you post a link to it?

I think ErekoseDM is referring to this post..

There was still a copy of the game in the code after I saw his post..
So maybe it's some other post that he is referring to...

edit: Maybe it's this one..

Ah, I see it. So ErekoseDM was not referring treasure hunt code. Has that been solved? Doesn't appear to be...

I don't think it's been solved...

I, myself, have no idea how to go on after decoding the 4th piece of text...

Moonbeam: Just tell me the answer when someone cracks it!

anjohl: Sure thing. SOMEONE will impose order, eventually.
anjohl, when you give the answer, would you mind giving a breakdown please. I am now really intrigued.
Thank you
I can't find the 4th piece of text, but I feel somewhat confident that I decoded the first three.
I'll explain the.code after.redemption via pm, as I may wish to reuse some elements in future draws.
I'm with you dude

Soyeong: Maybe I'm slow, but I'm not even sure what it is that we're supposed to be trying decipher.
Yah, I'm with those who found 3 parts of the code. Could never figure out the 4th. Nicely done by those who could solve even if it seems like it was only the one person.
Some hints:

1) Every part of the code is on gog.com, somewhere.

2) Every tool required is on the site linked in the first post.

3) The text in the code is important.

4) Don't assume you are reading the sentence as intended.

5) Neverwinter Nights II. Blunt, but perhaps it will make the search worthwhile?

6) A CD Key has 16 digits.

7) Number crunchers often have to take chances.
did GOG go offline for a few hours last night?

i think taking chances number crunching netted me a GOG-lock
