Great work everyone,

I have enjoyed this contest, it was a wonderful challenge (still upset at missing 1 whitebox in x-ray cards before submitting so not in the Meta challenge). Busy in the real world working this weekend (not in Seattle at the party) and opened the 4th box late. It was great to get feedback and listen to your thoughts. I'll be back here to work on other challenges. The people contributing here were for the most part very insightful (don't dissapear like LOKI). I think some needed more sleep than others at the end.

You guys are fast too, I had just finished the last waypoint and was working on getting to IVY (even though I wasn't officially able to answer) when the answer was post on this site somewhere. Wow!! No matter what happens, CONGRATS NEOWINIANS :bounce: .

i think as long as you were logged in and went to the lokiv directory it would have accepted a answer , i dont think the game was set up to restrict collaboration like that. which was cool even though i got all 36/36 and 48/48 , i probably still not even get a mousepad... lol

Here is a copy of my letter dated Wednesday, January 31, 2007 8:02 PM from LOKI <[email protected]>

Congratulations on a game well played, and thank you for helping us disappear.

You were not the first to guess our identity, but because you played our game,

we want to tell you our secret.

There is no such person as Loki - or rather, she is four sisters who decided to

be one extraordinary person.

Each of us has a unique talent:

Lorelei is our tinkerer. Clocks and counting, space and time: she is our

genius.

Odessa is our performer, our actress and magician, the girl we send in to dazzle

and charm. Odessa goes to meetings: Loki gets promoted. It's very convenient.

Kara is our reader. With a love of history and a photographic memory, she gives

us access to any fact, figure, or event at a moment's notice.

Ivy is our spy. She's the girl you dont notice, the face you don't remember,

and vanishing is what she does best. Ivy has gotten us out of more than one

impossible situation.

Together, we have presented L.O.K.I. to the world. Our mask and super-hero,

LOKI has allowed us each to be bigger than ourselves.

When we heard Microsoft and AMD were looking to give extraordinary prizes to

exceptional people, we knew LOKI could never find a more perfect job. This,

Odessa said, would be a trick we could never top. O, how we wanted this job!

(And what clever, unfair, underhanded things we did to the other applicants to

make sure we got it! But that's another story.) And once we got the job, we

all agreed that Loki's greatest triumph would be her last.

We created the Vanishing Point to reward the smartest minds (and communities) on

the planet - and still we underestimated you. We used our smarts and our guile,

not to mention money and connections and countless hours of time - and still you

humbled us. We knew the terrain and barely gave you a mapand that didn't stop

you. We built puzzles that should have taken you days and you solved them in

hours.

"Loki" is a genius: but you were far more brilliant. You were thought made

fire. You were lightning.

Thank you for your work, your talent, and your dedication. It has been a

privilege to witness: an honor and a delight.

For each of us to live, Loki had to die. Thank you, thank you beyond words for

taking her to the Vanishing Point.

Lorelei

Odessa

Kara

Ivy

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
