There are 5 numbers and I do not know what to do with them... 😎

If you guys are at 5 numbers already, you're almost done. I'll give it some time before handing out hints.

Do you need to fully figure out the encryption method to understand the 5 numbers?

If you got five numbers without decoding, I'm not sure you found the right five numbers. I may have been premature in saying you were almost done. I think you haven't actually done anything at all.

Well, I figured out the messages, and got the 5 numbers from the messages. However, I only did half the work to decode the message. I don't have a full understanding of the later half, which is done by machine.

Okay, then you ARE almost done. You made it sound like you hadn't done any decrypting at all, sorry. There's still a lot of time, and since there's a prize for the first person to finish, I'm going to wait to give clues for people at advanced stages.

Probably not going to solve this as I have very little time lately, but I wanted to bump the thread, thank you for doing this and congratulate you on excellent profile picture. You are truly a gleam of light guiding us in the darkness.

Bump for stuck at 5 numbers (which might be incorrect though).

If you aren't sure where to start, I've added a hint in the description.

After decoding the messages, I have 5 numbers. I have no Idea what to do with them, though.
EDIT: I just recognized the pattern to the message. quite clever... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Added another hint. May help people stuck at five numbers. I think you guys may not have decoded the message correctly if you haven't been able to go from 5 numbers to the solution yet.

If it wasn't clear, the URL is hidden in the puzzle. Also, another hint is up.

Parts of the decoded message may not have been clear enough. In the second question, it would be clearer if 'former' was inserted before 'team'. However, I can't make that specific change because then you wouldn't arrive at the right URL code in the end(Oops, actually I could make that change and it wouldn't affect the URL code because it's far enough into the sentence to not make a difference). Also, the second to last question is referring to the English alphabet in general.

key gone = me gone :p ...but I guess with the clarification for Q2 it should be doable now, I believe most solvers had that one wrong...

Are you saying you just wanted Wasteland 1? There's still the actual GA, which is Talisman. Only 1 entry so far, so anyone else who solves it now has a good chance of winning.

I know, fortunately I own the Talisman already... but I solved it mainly for the puzzle itself and I really liked it! ...it's just that once the key for Wasteland is gone, I feel I can skip the last step even thought I believe I have now all that I would need for the solution

That's fine, I just wanted to make sure you didn't think the Wasteland key was the only GA here or something.

Here's a puzzle for a Talisman: Digital Edition giveaway.
Plus, there's a key for Wasteland 1 in the giveaway description for the first person to complete the puzzle(Wasteland key has been taken!).

Hint 1: If you aren't sure where to start, trying looking for pairs of punctuation marks. Can you find two pairs of letters? Where are there three of a kind of symbol? How many straight numbers are there?
Hint 2: You must decode the message correctly. Even if you can understand what it says, if you have even one or two characters wrong, you may not get the right URL.
Hint 3:If you've got 5 numbers and aren't sure what to do with them, think about what else there are 5 of in the puzzle. Try doing some counting with those numbers. And why did I choose to word the puzzle that way? The wording I chose is important for getting the URL. Also, are you sure you have the right 5 numbers? Someone may have switched teams recently.
