Ludiquest 2 - Last chance!

I am posting the Ludiquest puzzle one last time. Whoever sends the proper one-word answer to the correct e-mail address will win a new copy of Vegas Showdown or Hollywood Blockbuster (your choice). The puzzle has several steps and you will learn the e-mail address as you progress through the puzzle. I know at least one person has gotten extremely close to solving it. The hints I've previously revealed are included below the puzzle and I've added a new one. If this isn't solved by Saturday, I'll start revealing steps until someone gets it. Good luck!



With Roman count "as 102"

You’ll read the writing on the wall,

But you will need to change your view

Before you make the proper call.


57 76 57 48 57 55 57 57 57 56



Hints:

Where does c = 100?

Where does 1000001 = 65 = A?

When does pi = 180?

Where does L = 5?

The last word will be found by location, not by sound

Other puzzles and prizes

Yehuda Berlinger has a gaming blog that I read fairly often. He posts a lot, which means there’s usually something new to read. The reason that I mention his blog is that he will also be posing puzzles and giving out prizes, although on a much grander scale. His latest post mentions over $300 in games that will be up for grabs to those who sign up to his Google group. If you’re interested, hurry...you need to be signed up before this Sunday.

Puzzle Contest

All of my posts are signed MadPuzzler, and I’ve decided that if I’m to have any credibility it’s about time I provided a puzzle. In order to encourage anyone who might actually be reading, I’m providing a small prize. Whoever first solves the puzzle and emails me with the answer will have a new, un-punched version of the game Hollywood Blockbuster shipped to them via the least expensive shipping method available (it likely won’t make it in time for the winter holiday of your choice, so don’t plan on that).

The puzzle hearkens back to some of my treasure-hunting challenges, but is a bit more involved since I expect you to have plenty of time and on-line resources at your disposal. Figure out what the message says and proceed from there. If no one has solved it in two months, I’ll replace it with something easier, but I don’t expect that to be the case. If someone does solve it, it’s likely that I’ll eventually post something more difficult.

Here is the puzzle, which is a prime example of an elementary cipher. Make of that what you will.
