Vanishing Point Game Seattle VIP Party!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! If you accessed the Vanishing Point site between Jan. 24 and Jan. 26 18:00 (6 PM), you may have seen an special VIP Party invitation on the Puzzle Box 4 page. If you are planning to attend the party please let me know!

The reason I'm posting this topic is the fact you had to reply to [email protected] with both the subject and body saying "yes" before Jan. 26 18:00 (6 PM). I have already done that and if you have too, congratulations! However, I forgot to print off the page which if I remember correctly, I had to do that to get in.

If anyone already has the page printed off, please send post a link of a scanned print of the page or if you saved the site, a link of that for all the people who couldn't print it off. Thank you and I will still be attending even if I can not get into the Party. Thank you and I hope to see people there!

My first post here. Seen the invite and sent my reply in time. Live on the east coast and will not be going. If I receive a reply, any one is welcome to it.

That would be great since we already have the babysitter for the weekend and Hotel accommodations that can't be canceled now. I thought the event was just after the clues were given and not special invite.

The invitation says:

Date: Saturday, January 27, 2007

Time: 1900-2200hrs P.S.T.

Locale: Undisclosed. Transportation will be provided from event coordinates.

The event coordinates are Gas Works Park in Seattle.

I called the parks dept. and yes indeed, there's fireworks scheduled for there tomorrow night.

I just got my RSVP Confirmation today! I'm printing it out right now. I'm really excited since it's like 8 minutes from where I live. In terms of where the party will be held is unconfirmed however the transportation is "provided" and all you have to do is come to event which is at 6pm at GasWorks. For everyone who successfully got in and are planning on going to the event, I hope to see you there. I'll be the Asian kid with glasses ^^.

Remember, you need to be over 21 for the VIP party.

If you're going to broadcast the events, why should I show up live?

Each live event will be amazing. I?ve arranged some spectacular feats that the world has never seen before and should not be missed. Plus, for those of you over 21 who can show up at the final Seattle event, I?ve arranged for an extra special celebration.

I got what seems to be a generic response from "Sheri Sullivan" at Microsoft ([email protected]). It's probably a generic response because I specificially indicated I could NOT attend:

"Congratulations! Your RSVP for the celebration has been received. See you at the party."

Attached to the email, below the sentence is a java .gif link to this page:

Wish I could go!

I was wondering why the invitation says 7:00 and the box coutdown says 6:00.

I think the deal is that the clues are going to be at 6:00 at Gas Works Park - maybe in the fireworks. Everyone and anyone can go, just as in the prior 3 boxes events.

Then we'll be transported to the party, where you'll need the invitation, probably to get on the bus or boat. Originally it was saying 21 years old probably because of alchohol but the invitation said 18 - so I think they decided to just screen for age/alcohol at the party,(21 is legal drinking age in WA state). The 18 thing probably has more to do with WA state gambling and contest laws.

I can't think of a large facility in the area for a party except there is a large old stationary ferry/boat nearby that rents out for functions. Hah, it might actually be on a boat. There's a local boat company that has boats for parties and they're docked across the lake. Yep, that's my bet.

Now says 18.

I asked about bringing guests, and here is the response I got:

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
