Vorax: I don't know what I'm missing, but I don't get it. I have a feeling the solution is much simpler than I think, and thus I'm not seeing the forest for the trees.
It is. As I said, I think there will be a few sore faces and possibly broken hands/desks when the method is revealed.

itai.sharim: Finally cracked it.

But, as I was interested in the riddle more than the game - I let someone else get it.

Nice one Xyem.
As Prydeless said, PM me the solution and I will give you the I-dun-messed-up prize.

Clue #3: There is a character different from all the rest which not only tells you which direction to go, but also betrays how many wear a mask.

Are these clues ok both codes or only for newest, bolded one?
I can't wait to see the solution. Somebody please redeem the code, and end my misery.

Still can't crack the unbolded code, but I suspect that not ALL of the clues apply.

Meh, well, my tries so far were based on this statement. So it seems I was at dead end all the time...

The clues actually (coincedently) do work for both codes, but only the bold one will redeem because the unbolded one was a mistake ;P
OK, so after talking with xyem I can confirm that the clues work for both codes.
However, I still find the bolded one MUCH easier to decode.

Confirming that itai.sharim has cracked the code, but (seems to) not want any prize for it so as far as I can tell, there are still 2 up for grabs :)
Is it bad that I haven't solved it yet but I know the code from memory?

Vorax: Is it bad that I haven't solved it yet but I know the code from memory?
Yes

Is it bad that I keep getting you and Vorax confused?
Is it bad if i can't solve this simple riddle?
xyem, i don't quite understand the "mask" part on your 3rd clue. Is that some sort of idiom or metaphor?
