SuperRob Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 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.

_eXile_ Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 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.

malcolmst Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 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. 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/74/#findComment-588205353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

deffjeff Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) 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?

firth Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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.

Apogee Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Lokibots -- THEM -- the puppetmasters or whatever the title is of the people who work at 42. Ok, what do I do after I am done answering all of them? 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.

PricklyPoo Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/523893-the-pre-game-fun/page/74/#findComment-588210585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymousjon Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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."

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." 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?
