That's all I got for ya.

That's all I got for ya.

Hint: The answer has nothing to do with alt codes. Stop recoding and start decoding.

Hint: The answer MAKES SENSE. It is a coherent secret message.

[Jim]

Hint: I dont really want Portal 1

[Glip]

Hint: I dont really want Portal 1

Hint: Then stop trying to decode the secret message.

[Jim]

Is that 2 ip adress?

[Brendan]

glip you can't just change the rules like that.

[Fatalis]

The answer is 42, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of the Universe and everything

[Glip]

glip you can't just change the rules like that.

I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.

[Fatalis]

So you are saying my answer is wrong?

[Glip]

So you are saying my answer is wrong?

While that is the correct answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, this is not that question.

I already said the answer isn't a number.

It's a sentence.

Hint: It's a basic code.

[Glip]

This has been necro'd so that Brendan might more easily attempt to earn this copy of Portal (that he's banned me from the Skype Chat for).

Or anyone else that wants Portal is also free to try and decode the secret message.

[Slaol]

My guess.
Stool ll . Nyc bushy .excercise.

Give me the prize.

[Glip]

Give me the prize.

I am sorry, but your guess is incorrect

[Slaol]

I am sorry, but your guess is incorrect

Is any portion of it remotely close?

[Glip]

Is any portion of it remotely close?

You are closer than any of the other guesses, but that's not saying much. At all. I would say you're still not remotely close.

[Slaol]

You are closer than any of the other guesses, but that's not saying much. At all. I would say you're still not remotely close.

Lol. Working on new guess then.

[clementine]

Spoiler : My guess :

798868.550.10.692088749.13393764796

Counting number of digits:
6.3.2.9.11

Simple cipher:
F.C.B.I.K

Fill in periods with unused vowels in alphabetical order:
FACEBOIUK

So my guess is... "faceboiuk" which is how you pronounce "facebook" in Glippian.

Am I right? :P

Haha, an interesting and inspired answer, but unfortunately not the one I'm looking for.

This is the next random group of letters I got from randomly trying something that is probably wrong.

[Damus_Graves]

Damus already has Portal and therefore knows the answer but Damus shall not speak a word of it to anyone.

[Fatalis]

damnit this is hard

[Fatalis]

portal one is extremely spectacular

I think I just solved it the same way creed did, but I got a different last letter:

798868.550.10.692088749.13393764796

798868 (mod 26) = 18 = R
550 (mod 26) = 4 = D
10 (mod 26) = 10 = J
692088749 (mod 26) = 1 = A
13393764796 (mod 26) = 22 = W

RDJAW

Which obviously translates to:
"Robert Downey Jr. AWWWWW!"

Which is TOTALLY Glip's secret message because everyone thinks Robert Downey Jr. is cuter than a kitty.

amirite ;)

That's what I did. Except I got RDJAL for some reason.
Close enough. :P

Haha, you always come up with the best answers, but they aren't the ones I'm looking for :P

If no one finds the real answer soon and you actually want it, I'll probably have to give you Portal.

You should look at the previous "hints" I've given.

[Fatalis]

portal one is extremely spectacular

My answer is wrong?

[Brendan]

If nobody solves it, I should receive it for meeting your original criteria.

[Glip]

My answer is wrong?

That is wrong, but it is now the closest guess so far in that it's actually a coherent sentence.

Besides that it's completely wrong.

[creedkingsx]

The cake is a lie?
LOL

[Glip]

The cake is a lie?
LOL

Nope, but closest guess yet. Although that still really isn't saying much. You're not that close, really.

[Fatalis]

Give us more clues Glip :P

[creedkingsx]

well Google wasn't any bloody help.

[Mugy]

well Google wasn't any bloody help.

Oh wow.

[creedkingsx]

Is the first word, Glados?

[Damus_Graves]

well Google wasn't any bloody help.

Aren't you popular Glip?

[creedkingsx]

Is the first word, Glados?

If so, tip to everyone on my thoughts, look:
798868.550.10.692088749.13393764796

798868
glados

8=asd which are all next to each other on the keyboard.

My current working theory is the code is based on groups of letters on the keyboard and each are assigned a number to spell out the words. Presumably, as we all have, the periods are spaces. They might not be, but they are our only current sense of word separation.

You current working theory is very, very wrong. Aside from the fact that the periods are spaces.

The first word is not glados.

I've already given you all the best hint I can that won't directly give the answer away; It is a basic code.
