edit: Four people have solved it! But two mentioned trouble finding something. If you got far enough to wonder where the something is, you may already have it. Not every eight-character thing lives on itstoohard.com - some are at P_______. :)

There's no point giving a hint for the "Npao ao" stuff, it's a substitution cipher. You've seen them before. And I didn't even do any nonsense like make "J" the most common letter, etc. If you hit a road block this early, save your energy for a better giveaway... :)

Ok, all 18 who reached "Random Quotes" solved it. :) It's not supposed to be hard, it's a hint for the next part in case you don't recognise it.

Is the E..... M...... stuff the annoying part? I'd look for a download, since not all the online things work properly, or let you adjust whatever. Don't know where people are getting stuck, but perhaps "IkJ1Y2hzdGFiZW5rZW5uZ3J1cHBlIg==" will give an important caveat for this part. I'm guessing it's easy to overlook something here and miss the prize. Good luck! :)

Ok, puzzle is over, sorry everyone who didn't win! And sorry for everyone who didn't find the Dragon Age giveaway - but surely you'd rather be playing Fortix anyway! Explanation is up in the forum topic.

I give up already. It doesn't help that it is almost 7AM, and that I have been up all night, lol. I will try this once I wake up though, since it looks interesting. :)

Don't worry, my brain is stretched to the limit, which means I've probably screwed up somewhere and it's unsolveable... :)

Good luck! There must have been something in there, since most people got stuck on the next part... :)

Good luck, hope it works! :)

I'm new at this puzzle junk, can't tell if it's too easy or too hard. Probably too easy for the puzzle masters, and too hard for the bums like me... :)

I just decoded it, onto the next part.

That was nasty, I don't like you any more. ;)

damn. are you sure your encryption is correct? :)

Well, I'm falling asleep now, so any help I give would be wrong. :)

Everything seemed correct when I tried it an hour ago, but I will take a fresh look tomorrow. If nobody's solved it by then, then I probably screwed it up and will have to fix whatever's broken... :)

It's correct, just very difficult. At least, the first one is, if that's what your referring to. I haven't cracked the second yet.

You know how it works, check their profile when you find a hidden giveaway, see if there's any more... :)

Solved the first puzzle I encountered, there was already one solver... Not sure if that was you testing or if I'm trailblazing. :D

Probably just me making sure it worked, but somehow it always works for the person creating it... :)

I just can't figure out the settings for next type of encryption :(

Ok, somehow still awake here, tried everything from scratch and it seemed to work. It's possible in my ignorance I made a mistake creating the whatever it is, and repeated the mistake to test it. Will have to take a look tomorrow when I'm awake... :)

I don't think you made a mistake, just the settings seems unclear to me.

same, so far. i'm certain I know what type of encryption it is, but it's not used here regularly, so I'm not sure if I have the details right to solve it. I'll definitely check back in the morning though. Either way, thanks fifty! :)

I went further than I normally would, downloading programs to solve it. No luck though so i'm gonna flag it there. Already got DA:O anyway, as you (godprobe) know. :D

Ok, not quite awake yet but here is my try for a hint "IkJ1Y2hzdGFiZW5rZW5uZ3J1cHBlIg==" ...

Well... I learned a little more, haha. That's about it though.

Think I'll try giving some more explicit hints when the timer's run down, unless someone finds it before then, of course. :)

Suppose it's a common worry for puzzle solvers though, i.e. do I want to spend any more time trying to solve this thing, when I'm not even sure it's been made correctly. :)

I'm sure you did it right, just never seen one of these used in a puzzle before, and figuring it out is complicated.

But that's just me, maybe there will be some who can set it up properly.

Hmm, now that you mention it, if I had entered someone else's Fortix giveaway and found this thing - not sure I'd bother... At some point it's easier just to buy it... :)

At least I don't have to worry about anyone giving it away... :) But I'll feel bad if I need to remake the giveaway without this tricky part... :)

Yep. There's a reason this kinda thing spawned a whole industry. If this is something that's fascinated you for years then I guess it makes perfect sense (EG all the info is there) but I can't spend two days studying historical literature to do it myself. :p

Ahh, sorry... Might give some better hints when there's not much time left, just to frustrate the maximum number of people... :)

Well, i know what it is, but all I find is German pages with explanation... And I do know a bit of German, but not enough for deciphering this! =P

I'll try to cook up some better hints, but in the meantime, hmm, don't try so hard... :)

There's a wonderful something out there that basically gives the whole game away, and it's in English.
