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:

    • Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
