Second post.
hmm...so i think the first code is something to do with...
+ Show Spoiler +Punctuations. This quote On April 29 2010 16:51 TheDominator wrote:

triggered me to think...there is no need he had put that comma there...he could have just said somewhere on this post. So that led me to think along the lines of punctuation in that paragraph. I excluded apostrophes just because it wouldn't work that way. I listed all the punctuations, ignoring the text and equated each punctuation to the code...we know the first 5 letters to be code1...that becomes the key for the rest of the code.
Fingers crossed 
Oh also I haven't attempted this one yet, but I think the second code might have to do with...
+ Show Spoiler +Inverting the text and numbers in spoiler 1. There has to be a reason that the L is capitalized in the first spoiler and I'm thinking that it could stand for a 7. I got really excited when I looked at the code upside down and everthing made sense till I hit c...didnt make much sense upside down, but it could part of the code2...I will look into it and post any further ideas I have.
Good luck everyone ^_^...or rather for Sean Plott, I should go 8>.

Well, I actually PMed a code in the form of code#x, but it turned out to be wrong. So I'm giving up.
|
I also PMed an answer but still no reply..

well, I just received the 2key mail, so I'm off this competition
good luck

Yea, at this point I feel like I'm one of the guys working on a super bad consiracy theory...
I like the idea about the punctuation thing. It is definitely something strange in there...
I still don't know if the whole thing is a research issue or a decoding thing (see spoiler #1)...
Maybe the guys that already received a WRONG reply post what was on their mind to give a bit of impression and inspiration
Happy guessing!
EDIT: Don't really think it's something with inversion in spoiler #1. I tried some google search on some parts of the spoiler, but no page I landed on, contained "code" anywhere. Also, I tried to find some "system" within the spoiler #1, but since I got no idea about encryption (which I doubt that it is actually any sort of super dooper awesome encryption...) I did not find anything yet.
This included looking at capital letters only, at numbers only, etc...

I am 99% confident you will find both codes in the first paragraph. Everything else just looks like it's extra blabber to draw newbs away from the important stuff. I don't think any of the 3 spoiler "clues" will help you find the codes at all.
BTW, the extra 1% that prevents me from having 100% confidence is the fact that I don't know for certain that these codes exist.
This post can win you a beta key; just solve this puzzle!
Codes will help you get your key. They're on this post-
somewhere, dying to get found. This is a tough challenge; even 1 is hard to find.
Obtain the 2 codes, and the beta key is yours. Remember, they're on this post-
somewhere, this post.
Just look how there are both "1" and "2" in this paragraph. And they are used awkwardly, where "one" and "two" could be used instead. And the idea that you need code1 or code2 to start with supports this.
If you want to know what exactly I did to find my incorrect code, which ended up being "code1xxxx" just ask. I'm thinking the real code has something more to do with the two sentences " They're on this post-
somewhere, dying to get found." and "Remember, they're on this post-
somewhere, this post. " but I'm sick of trying to get incorrect answers so here's all the info.
Edit: I'm not even sure if it needs to be rot13'd first or not. Or something else entirely.
Also, if you ever need to crack a playfair cipher, just ask. Not that that's relevant to this contest.

Thought it might be a songtext or something, because "dying to be found" sounds pretty much like it  But so far nothing promising. Again: I already got a key, so I'm just throwing in ideas and thoughts. Like a band called "the codes" does acutally exist but nothing with any promising song text...

There is no "1" in the code is there?

That is just the letters without numbers or caps lock, thats painful when looking at it and try to read it i get around 5 words.
But spent to long on this, brain hurts.
EDIT: code2bob

Yes, there is. The two codes are code1ANSWER and code2WHATEVER.

Fifth post and counting...
Is dominator still posting in this thread? I haven't received a wrong reply though dominator did say if he didn't reply, it would mean it isn't right...but I'd rather he replied  ...
Apart from that, gl everyone :D
|
So, is it over? What were the codes and how are they divined?

explain this please

It surely is bit arbitrary... Take an apple, replace the apple with an orange and you get code1
But still, we need more guessing games on TL
