That just made it ridiculously easy. I was just sifting through clues and it gave it away almost instantly.fallouthirteen said:
Thanks.
Now, on to 4-1!
BWAAAAAAARRRRG! Piss weak crappy lappy! My phone has more memory than this crud. I know what I need to do and got the most obvious one. Decoded that easy. Way too many games with that word in the title.Ophiuchus said:
Snaps on the whole thing, though. I only got on to this today and smoke's comin' outa my ears.
If something is in a spoiler tag, be careful clicking as it might... Spoil things. Also, please be crafty with your clues. Some on here have all the subtlety of a heart attack. And if you give out the answer, or the answer's next of kin - I'll kill the post. I'm modding from my iPhone at the moment, and editing posts isn't possible. Crushing them is. 
Sweet, did 4-1 with practically no help. That made me feel great.
Now, 4-2 awaits...and by chance, I just got Google Earth! Lucky me...let the brain-rape begin!
EDIT: I got 4-2, too! But damn, i needed Google maps for that...at least i think. And i did not know how to use it, a bit frustrating.
Looking forward to 5-1.

Sooooo, do I need a numeric key pad for the "contrary" bit or what? I'm pretty sure I know what I'm supposed to do cos I got the "doomed" thing no probs, but the other 2 don't wanna play nice.
Ah screw it, I'm gonna get some sleep. Working 2-4 out possibly gave me brain cancer...

I have a laptop. Why? Was it a tehnical problem? Because I can't get it to work, either. And I know I got the right codes.Ophiuchus said:
It took me long enough but I finally figured out puzzle four on day two. Once you figure it out the clue: Translation, location, vocation really makes sence.
These puzzles are awsome, if not frustrating. I still have a lot of catching up to do, but I have a day off today to catch up. Good luck to all the other puzzle solvers out there.
Translate the code for infromation, which will give you a location, and if you know the mythology of the location you know the job title (or vocation) that is the game's title!
Not a bad idea, really. And it wouldn't be that hard to organize, we'd just have to change what we gave away and how. But it's totally doable.brunothepig said:
And folks, I'm going to say this again: PLEASE be more aware of how what you say might spoil the puzzles for other players. I know you're just trying to be helpful - I haven't seen anyone just giving away answers to be a jerk - but telling someone how to solve the puzzle spoils it just as much as telling someone the answer does. Just use spoiler tags, please.

There are hints. Like "If we live by these codes three", and the fact that this is the original version of this cipher, as used by the guy after whom it is named today.
And that makes day 4!
I'm praising this community for its intelligence and cooperative spirit. We gonna beat the TheEscapist Staff, aren't we, lads?
Day 5, ho!

Fun fact: I'm on a laptop and the codes for 4-1 worked fine for me. I don't know why a laptop would be giving you issues. I think I'll wait till I get home from work to work out the name of the game for 4-1, though. I think my co-worker's ready to murder me because I've been attempting to cipher and answer the phone at the same time.
I got 4-2, though, since it's easier to play with my laptop and answer the phone simultaneously. Many thanks for the clues! Sadly, I have none that haven't already been said.
EDIT: Got 4-1, too! See you all in Day 5!

Got halfway through doing 4-2, then randomly entered the name of a game into the answer box. It was right, I'm feeling kinda depressed that I don't have to work it out now, still stuck on 4-1 though.
Got 4-1, wasn't too hard once I realized I was inputting the code wrong.
I'm stuck on 4-2 though. I've tried inputting every game I know that has a mission in that place, but I can't seem to get the right answer. Maybe it's just a game I've never heard of?
Edit: Also, I did 4-1 on a laptop, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to.
Edit2: I got 4-2, I've never heard of the game. I must've input the wrong coordinates, since a quick google search told me the answer.
