Got 2 :) But I was really into codes as a kid, probably have an unfair advantage. ;)

Studied cryptography as a kid, now I wish I remembered more :< Throwing everything I have at #1, nothing yet...

It may take a bit. I did make it a bit harder, because a certain method doesn't work quite as well as it would had I done something differently. :)
Edit: "work" was missing from sentence.

That's for the cryptanalyst to figure out, isn't it? :D

I checked my work multiple times and am checking it over again to make sure ten times over!

I'll make sure to send you some Rogaine should you win. (Not a promise.)

Well, looks like that error you thought I had wasn't in my puzzle but in my selection of hair products. I meant Just For Men!

Got the second one, time to beat the first one :o

I lol at the person who said he solved the puzzle and when faced with the 'truth' deleted his comment.
E: yes yes...go on say whatever you want and then delete them again. More conversation and then after that, he deleted the entire thing again and you guys know how when a comment is deleted, all the replies are also removed. This here details almost everything for those who are interested. I should have screengrab the entire thing but I did not expect him to delete his 'defense'. I am putting this up so people can decide for themselves and so me and cyclone don't get a bad rep from him: "people like them screw up this whole giveaway"
Edit2: I am from now on, replying to my own comment so no one will delete them because I know I won't. In reply to his "its all your one sided story,", precisely because I did not partake in you and Cyclone's argument, is there no such evidence in my replies list. So what do you want from me? Whip up a story just like you did? If you want to show what you are saying is the truth and for the sake of transparency, show us all your replies list then.

And sorry totalanonymity, people like them screw up this whole giveaway. I guess i wont be entering the answers to get ur giveaway url, just to let that cyclone say im a liar for as long as he likes. Some people just dont get it that once u decipher a code, u just know its correct because u can read it.

You left out the screenshot to cyclones replies and your replies to my argument with cyclone . Did i mention ur replies in MY ARGUMENT TO CYCLONE? I THOUGHT U MENTIONED U DID NOT PARTAKE IN MY ARGUMENT WITH CYCLONE, but WHY DO YOUR REPLIES EXIST IN SAID ARGUMENT, and you didnt screenshot those? So now its all your one sided story, gratz

We didn't really even argue per se, it was fairly calm even though we disagreed. If you are telling the truth - I apologize, I just don't see the logic behind not entering your answers. I think your deleting your initial post should have stopped this where it started, since it isn't really a big deal anyway.

I feel you. Even when I look at them, knowing the answer(s), my brain fries. :D

Rules:
There are no hints provided on the puzzle. If it seems that no one can get it, hints will be provided via update to this post and nowhere else.
Which game is it, you say? Well, you'll have to solve the puzzle, won't you?
That's the fun of it!
Good luck! Ends Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 7 PM PDT.

Ended! Solutions were:
Question #1: Key/Answer: gladiator
Question #2: Answer/plaintext: this one is far easier to solve than the other one
NOTE: There was an error (by me) in the converting of the seventh character of Question #1. This was unintentional and for this, I apologize. However, to look at the bright side, it did help to simulate (just a tiny bit) the difficulty one might have had when it was solved back when the cipher was prevalent in use as there was human error and intentional errors. Future puzzles will be checked ten times over as well as being checked by a third party who will either know nothing of Steam or will be disqualified from entry.
You may wish to view the giveaway's page directly as there are some comments on there that you may find interesting from the first couple solvers: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/C6Bgh/fortix
