It was quite easy, but ym decipher had capitals only and too lazy to type it in small letters.

how are we supposed to discuss strategies if we are not allowed to name ciphers?
Well, here's what I tried without success:
1) character shifting
2) there are 5 lines, so I tries some combinations to build a SG link
3) tried some of the 5 char pairs as part of a SG link
4) some basic plain text decryptions with the first line as keyword

How can we decode it if it's ur code.. It will take more than 3 days..

I see you chose to do exactly the kind of puzzle I said I hate :P

WTF. I know only two words with only one letter: a and i. But, Is there any words with two letters and last of them is A or I?

i know that "Key" means. Just tried to analyze text, since i have no idea that to do with key.

So... given a key but no cipher- or plaintext an analysis of the cryptosystem is impossible, is it not?
So we need some kind of ciphertext, since it wouldn't be a puzzle after all with the plaintext given. Since the first line is the key, the rest of the message could be the ciphertext. Assuming the line "Rules:" and everything that follows is not part of the ciphertext that leaves only the second line (and maybe one or two linebreaks). Now the real fun starts :)
Another approach would be using "2oGC3frj" as ciphertext :)

It's two different types of puzzle. Hidden link's aren't fun to me, it's too much like work. It's like asking someone to install a new processor, so they could play a train sim. Not everyone knows how to go about both, and both are not always entertaining.
If it were an entire puzzle of hidden link's it makes sense, but tacking it on to any and everything is just... bleh

Just cause others do it, doesn't make it a good thing. You're just following the trend.
Most people? False... Look around, there's at least 1 post from someone without a clue. And there are others who don't like it for various reasons. Given the number of people who play, compared to a quiz without a hidden link, it's a clear majority that are either not capable, or interested.
It's your choice to use it. I just wanted to say it didn't add anything to this type of puzzle and has limited your audience. Maybe you'll consider not using it, or using it in a way that fits with your future puzzles, Cheers.

Surely the whole idea of puzzles is to limit the audience? :)

This is my very first puzzle on the forums, really wanted to do this from some time ago.
Its a Cryptography puzzle, yea if you don't know what that is then ITS TOO HARD for you.
Rules:
You can comment your ideas and strategies, but no actual answers, ciphers, or code. If you solved it please do NOT post spoilers!
EDIT: do not share game nor links either.
EDIT2: The giveaway will end on Tuesday 6:00pm (GMT -5)
Hints:
Don't bother with internet, books or anything, you wont find this form of coding.
I didn't forgot anything at all.
Real Hint 1: The first line is the "Key"
Hint 2: The key is an encoded representation of the alphabet
Important Hint 3: the key is also "part" of the entire message. once you come to the end of the key, keep going into the message.
with this i mean that you should assume that the message needs to be decrypted in order, one character at a time. Basically, the first character in the message starts you off (the A in this case). the next character requires information from the first character to be decrypted, and so on.
Important for solvers: I realized a mistake, when you solve it the second letter should be ¨capital¨ , my bad.
I will place hints as I see fit.
