zebber: Ok, so the point is that the important part of the post that Lexor had to decod was:
(The code sent, by gog, sucks massive buttocks but, someone will see this, and win)
?

Or am I misunderstanding the process?

Lexor: It was only first 5 digits. 3244-2. For the rest of code I needed to convert sentences to letters.
Hmmm, ok, that makes a bit more sense then. Thanks! I don't usually expect to win these kinds of things (indeed I usually miss them entirely until after they're done), but I hate not understanding the process behind the encoding.

Well once you figured the things in () were numbers then it was time to figure out the numbers the , seperated the words that made the numbers three words = number 3 etc

then the rest of it was count the words and change to the proper letter.
