not sure what i'm missing here, but i think i'm gonna give up lol
part of it isn't clicking for me, and this may not even be the end of the puzzle!!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh no, it's too early... I'll give some hints here and there.

It's a code for sgtools link, which means it must have the form:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012Comment has been collapsed.
i must be overthinking it. my problem is that sgtools links can only have hexadecimal characters in them (so numbers + abcdef) and none of the ceasar shifts i tried actually give the needed result
s4k1s please tell me if this comment is not okay and i'll remove it
also i'm not asking for a hint, just venting 😅

If you decode the highlighted ones, then the rest will be easy. Also, hints are allowed.

Slept on it, figured it out.
had the format right, error elsewhere

Seeing others figure this out after a while really does wonders in teaching me humility.
Comment has been collapsed.
I definitely overthought about it for a bit.
also... the classic human error portion from me that boned me in a different puzzle >>

🤔
Start from here:
The 41198 is repeated four times. What else is repeated 4 times in any link for sgtools?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank for your GA, s4k1s!!
I'm not really familiar with sgtools. So let's suppose I have an old link. If I insert your "decoded" part after /giveaways/ should I get to GA? Cause right now I'm redirected to giveaway dashboard.
Sorry, if it's asking too much and actually it's part of the puzzle to figure out! Will delete my comment at once, if it's detrimental to the event :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah that's what you have to do. The challenge is decoding the given string into the correct one that follows the stools format.

I was late to see the question, but Almostn33t answered it correctly. When a link is incorrect, it redirects us to its dashboard.
You don't need to delete something, it might be useful to someone else. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I knew and applied it from the beginning, but I keep going back to the dashboard ....... I think I either misunderstood something very minor, or it was garbled, or I copied and pasted. Oh, there was a small space inserted when I copied...😂

We're overdue for a Bump!
For anyone discouraged: It's really not that hard... don't give up!

Congrats and thanks for celebrating! I'll have to ponder this one. lol
*edit - I thought I had it but I don't. I'm missing something on the second part. lol

Congrats on the-soon-to-be 100th giveaway, and thanks for it. :)
I will try to wrap my head around that puzzle later.

Congrats on the milestone, s4k1s! And thanks for the puzzle and giveaway! :D

Solved, but not eligible. rCV=7.1 ;(
Congrats with 100 happy people. Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
since i still can't find the answer after so many clues, you get sad bump from me :(
Comment has been collapsed.
look at a bunch of SGtools urls.
you might see what you have to do when you have a bunch all next to each other.
since hints are allowed, you will see a specific pattern in a part of the urls that might help indicate what you need to do
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh. Ok, i think I see what you meant. Completely missed it before.
Just not sure how to solve it at the moment...
Comment has been collapsed.
Still at a loss as to how to get the proper hexadecimals >.>;;
Five more days to try to solve it...
Comment has been collapsed.
Major hint:
If I were the link, I would have to be written as: 19d11a19
Comment has been collapsed.
congrats on your 100th giveaway and thanks for the fun little puzzle :D
i did not pass the requirements, i didn't know my rCV was this bad :(
Comment has been collapsed.
works now, thanks! did you change the requirements?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, so you can take part. I didn't want something that happened 9 years ago to become an obstacle.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh, that D: teenage me did not know the butterfly effect back then :(
thanks for turning a blind eye for me <3
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for solved but don't meet requirements. Cool puzzle!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm very sorry, but between reducing requirements or giving a little bit more obvious hint, I chose the latter.
Comment has been collapsed.
Solved! 😤😤😤
I wasn't sure I was going in the right direction but s4k1s's hint helped me to push through.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't say it that way, but thank you, anyway. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, I think it's pretty straight forward but I can't get the link to work so I'm sure I keep making a stupid mistake somewhere...
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe some part of the string is not properly converted?

Link is fine, 26 people solved it successfully (you can see that if you click the OP's profile)

SGTool have link like:
https://sgtools.info/giveaways/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
(4 last characters seams be always numbers)Comment has been collapsed.
I just came here and I'm was too week to try so solve this without having at least a glance at some of the hints... I did not look at all of them, but the gist of what I saw made me solve this easily. And I'm fairly certain that's not a route I would have taken without them. Thanks!

This will be the 100th game I'm giving away. Yay!
But this time I have set a limit of
rCV>1rCV>0,75rCV>0,7 and level>=5, so that the slightly more generous will take part. If anyone still thinks it's unfair, leave a message and I'll think about it. The puzzle may seem difficult and may take some time, but I think it is relatively easy. Actually, very easy to be solved in 10 days.Please, if it is solved by siblings, couples, friends or groups in general together, I would prefer that only one of them participates.
And for spoiler lovers, the game is: The Talos Principle 2
Finally I hope I didn't make any mistakes, so without any further ado:
