The PRE game fun...

[SuperRob]

I can hardly believe I was right about the grand prize. Too bad I don't get a prize for guessing it right. I'm pretty jazzed now.

Hi,

I think we missed the last paragraph of that document:

Production Notes from location:

Bellagio test, very good. Projections system check out. Picture can dissolve on edges but [something]in [something]. Space reserved.

Greetings,

eXile.

That really was a great guess :D... I should have believed you but I thought there'd be no way they would ACTUALLY send someone to space... :p but you were right, and this is really really cool.. I can't wait to see how this all turns out

[davebee]

Nice - where did you find that?

Being an orginal decoder, message was delivered overnight to Hotel here in LV..

[rootwiler]

so the prize is that someone is getting sent to space? lol.. wow ^_^ have fun with that. Hows it is decided who goes?

I just tried to check on several of the pages on vanishingpointgame.com and I am getting a 404 message, have these been removed already?

Now the home page is blank all I get is the vanishingpoint logo

Clue from starfield:

> Every hour effects the stars. Will they guide your journey? Only time will tell.

Isn't this grammatically incorrect? I'm pretty sure 'effects' should be 'affects', right? Affect is the verb, effect the noun.

Ok, what do I do after I am done answering all of them?

Lokibots -- THEM -- the puppetmasters or whatever the title is of the people who work at 42.

Help with putting the meta squares together or figure out how to contact Loki. We can't give her the meta game answer if we can't contact her.

now im confused :s you saying you saw a bot in the members list, or are ya just guessing? We already know that loki is a member of the forum with the username lokivanishes

[PricklyPoo]

You're joking, right? You do realize that the contest is to PROMOTE WINDOWS VISTA, right? And that it's not a contest, it's a sweepstakes, so by "ruining" the puzzles, we're just ruining our own chances? And that we don't care, because the community is the best part of the game?

Seriously, 42 took the "community" into account when designing the contest. I guarantee it.

Oh my god, calm down! I'm here for you :laugh:

Sorry. We need to think like the creators of the game was my point.

[anonymousjon]

to be honest i don't think those little squares are to do with the meta prize, at least not yet. Why? because of this:

"When the time is right, I?ll ask you a question. For now, follow this trail to get the word it leads to."

[Apogee]

Where's SuperRob? Has anyone made progress with locating more of the meta squares or assembing them in some fashion?

[Dysphoria]

This is the stupidest game ever.... I cant believe how many people are falling over for this marketing plot.... BLA BLA BLA... Vanishing Brain . COM

They have to mean something. It's the closest we have to game in a game right? Maybe the 'other' word that pops up sometimes means there are other solutions to the puzzles?
