For Feedback and code work for my knucklehead from nCw, Freakke. I appreciate good constructive criticism and hope future puzzles will be entertaining to look through. I know this first one isn't spectacular but its a start.

I'll say the binary was an interesting touch, and actually stuck out to me.

If you want a tip on cracking it, it's an RSA encryption scheme. and in the fairness of the game the modulus is 117142508437523922180644366921266397776529544793825813090149482538162274981784170863236513642624030060408004550954939107313407882672524089845312521553472159328000217954071182401739754324531960598880555439323733929456451035540661778838616641798246983132340714006239401265902865253621007047156756535244016632492324423951682108372080148778181018453952292842757203978967297989156858188414025910769529523050404870287801989220397484523428887949065130443102649221675430639055030600424612451
and the exponent is 104729
Figure you like encryption ;-)

I like encryption, codes, and cyphers, but in this particular instance, what we're going for is an ARG. I've done some work on a few and interesting codes are always fun but I have to leave is as being solvable for most folks. Nothing too deep. Just enough to make it fun for everyone. I'ma look into the RSA thing though. Like I said, I definitely like me some codework.

You might appreciate this, but you can actually convert letters to binary using only five base 2 numbers. you just need to pad them up to five, for example. a=0 base2=00000 and so on. turns out to be substantially easier to form one-time pads and the like. Computationally it is far less "expensive".
for example c in ascii is 01100011, in the other convention it is 00010 or 0*2^4+0*2^3+0*2^2+1*2^1+0*2^0, so no need to memorize the ascii table(which is a pain in the ass for cryptography).
