View Full Version : Treasure Hunters
There is a hidden treasure.... hidden.... deep within the Virtual Magic Kingdom.
The clues to get to it are all around us... simple oddities that we think nothing of...
Many say that VMK and VMK Forums are not connected in any way... they are wrong... VMK connected with them when the treasure was created... certain things were put on the fan site... for the sake of the treasure...
Certain members... were told certain things...
Now... are you ready for the most epic adventure of your online life?
Treasure Hunters!
A huge epic treasure hunt game in VMK and VMK Forums is about to begin! Hosted by myself, players will search the kingdom and the fan site for the clues, so all of the puzzle pieces fit together... so then they can find the treasure, which consists of rare VMK Prizes! The game is based off of NBC's new show "Treasure Hunters". NOTE: All connections with certain players, fan site/VMK, etc. are FICTION and are not to be confused as actual happenings.
There are will be six teams of 3, creating a total of 18 players. These teams will elect a Team Captain, who will communicate with me via the PM System. Players will compete for the treasure in 5 scheduled hunts. At the end of each section of the hunt, a team will be eliminated. In the fifth and final hunt, the last two teams will race for the treasure, but only one of them will earn it for themselves!
The game involves code-breaking, problem-solving, advanced-thinking, and some complex riddles. You need to know some VMK History as well as a bit of VMKF history. To sign up, please post, but once you sign up, YOU ARE COMMITED. The last game I hosted had players dropping out midgame, so please only join if you are really into this and plan to play the entire game. Once we have 18 players, I will organize you into the 6 teams of 3, and then each team will elect their Team Leader. Following preparations, the first part of the hunt will begin, and will be carried out via the PM System. For people just wanting to watch the game and see what happens, I will do my best to post updates after each section of the hunt.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up for one of the greatest epic adventures of your virtual lives!

No problems with that... most of the parts will be afternoon/early evening EST. Please anticipate that I have Part 1 all ready to go and will begin ASAP.
-skippyskippy
CaptainZeke 06-24-2006, 11:57 PM I would be happy to join! Sign me up! :)
Added you... remember players, if you'd like, invite a friend to play with! I'll do my best to match up friends with friends (while keep the teams equal in strengths).
-skippyskippy
Schmoofy 06-25-2006, 12:15 AM I can help you, skippyskippy, or I will play.

(if you want me to explain why please pm me)
Schmoofy and Pink, I'll sign you two up. Pink, most of them will be on weekends, and it's not the end of the world if you happen to miss one.
-skippyskippy
xKawaii 06-25-2006, 12:39 AM Sign me up Ski! Sounds exciting, just like the show Treasure Hunters. Please try to pair me with Bella, as I will definitely make her join haha. Pink as well :D.
Heh, I'll put you and her on the list.
And like I stated in the first post, this is based off of the new NBC show "Treasure Hunters".
-skippyskippy
xKawaii 06-25-2006, 12:45 AM Whoops, didn't read that part of it, skim-reading. Well I do love that show, so this should be a blast!
And before you remind me another time, I'll try to post in VMK Cafe asap, LOL. *5 years later...*
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 12:49 AM Just a Question: Will we have to be "In Game" for the hunts?
KrazyBella 06-25-2006, 12:49 AM LOL well like regret said, she told me to sign up.. as i was reading the first post, i took a double glance when i saw my name already on the list, LOL well ty for adding me and ill be happy to play.. :D
Yes, there will be portions where you will have to journey into the kingdom to check stuff out.
-skippyskippy
cavowonder 06-25-2006, 01:14 AM Oh, this really looks cool. Sign me up, and I will be more than happy to get a couple of friends together for the match ;).
-cave
Please do, cavowonder; I'd like to get started as soon as possible. Added ya.
7 spots left!
-skippyskippy
Oranges 06-25-2006, 01:20 AM Hmm...sounds like great fun!
I'll take a whack at it! Please sign me up! :D
~ORANGES
Done and done!... Looks like we'll have a great variety of people participating in this game!
Note to all: Teams will be organized as soon as we reach 18 players. Then you will send PMs to me electing your team leader ASAP. As soon as all team leaders have been decided, Part One will begin and PMs will be sent to the designated leader. Part One will carry over into tomorrow if necessary; try to get your team members to complete it tonight for a big advantage... teams that finish parts first get to start earlier on the next section of the hunt!
-skippyskippy
bazooka_ 06-25-2006, 01:26 AM I will be glad to join, also i am on every day so i think i would be good for a captain.
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 01:27 AM Are team leaders team leaders for the whole thing?
Oranges 06-25-2006, 01:27 AM It sounds fun! The TV show looks good too, but I haven't got to check that out yet.
The only thing that could be hard is the whole "meeting up" in VMK thing. Is it all-for-one or one-for-all? In other words, does the whole team get a prize, or is it just one person?
~Oranges
soccerkidtlk 06-25-2006, 01:29 AM Ohh Ohh !!! I want to join !!!! Ya Ya Ya Sign Me Up!!!
*_* Soccerkidtlk *_*
The team leaders carry out for the entire game unless the Team Leader turns over his/her position to someone else, or the other two team members "impeach" the leader, meaning, they feel that the leader isn't doing enough and they're basically firing him/her. Any change of leader status must be reported to me via PM or posting here. Good question.
And that's a very good question as well Florida. You will be meeting up in VMK to carry out the hunt. It's not all for one, but rather one for all. If your team wins, you each get a cut of the loot. My reccomendation is to connect via Buddy list and get on each other's VMK friends list. Organization is vital for this game.
NOTE: For you lazy folk out there, you will NOT recieve any reward if either you missed WAY too many parts, or if you were lazy and just didn't help much. Your team and I will be the judge of that.
EDIT: Added Soccer and Bazooka. 4 more spots are available! Take 'em while you still have the chance!

m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 02:09 AM Wow. You should write an entire rule book for this, and then put it in PDF format. =D Jk.
Exoxus 06-25-2006, 02:48 AM Im on almost every day. ;P Can I join?
Of course you can! Added. I am currently testing out Part One, and if we don't get three more players it may have to be delayed until tomorrow.

PS: My VMK title is SherrytheFairy
Yikes! I go to bed and look at all the requests I recieve! Unfortunatley, I can only accept the first three, so that means ladycop, SuperJaekizzle, and MagicStarPower. BUT, you other guys and girls will be put on backup, in case someone backs out at the last minute or early in the game.
Part one begins TODAY at 12:30 PM EST Time! Please arrive in the VMK Town Square Instance South 5 minutes prior to that time! Thank you!
Also, there are many other willing players that would like to play, so if you don't think you can do this (which sort of includes today's challenge) please quit NOW, not LATER. If you can't make it to today's challenge, I'm going to reccomend backing out so one of the other willing members here can. Thanks.
Teams are being finalized as we speak, and will be posted momentarily. As soon as it is posted, start discussing who you want your Team Leader to be. If their is no decision by 12:30 I will decide for you.

-skippyskippy
AwesomeTom 06-25-2006, 04:06 PM I cannot join... :(
Sorry Awesome... not enough space. :( You're on backup, though...
PMs have been sent!
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 05:05 PM Hello hunters! Skippy wanted me to announce that the hunt will start at:
2:30 PM EST
1:30 CST
12:30 MST
11:30 PST
Be there! =)
JustOh 06-25-2006, 05:06 PM well, neither gligar or me can be on today. Sundays are not good :) GL Oranges
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 05:08 PM well, neither gligar or me can be on today. Sundays are not good :) GL Oranges
I can be on now! I love coincidences.
EDIT: Oranges, PM me about how we will pick leader position.
Yes, the hunt now begins at 2:30 PM EST time due to some real life complications. I figure this is for the better anyway, as it means most people going to Church should be back, and more players will log on to see their PMs. Please realize that the PMs are INCORRECT as of now! And sorry you can't make it oDavido, I think gligar can now with the new time change.
-skippyskippy
JustOh 06-25-2006, 05:11 PM cool gligar and oranges gl :) I hope this will be the end of sunday's :)
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 05:13 PM Coincidentally, Treasure Hunters premiered on a Sunday...SPOOKY.
Jurassic park fan 06-25-2006, 05:16 PM Please move me to backup. Slow computer causing trouble logging on to VMK, and I always sign on reaaaally late due to these problems. I do not want to face an angry skippy. Sorry that I had to announce this, evil slow connection! :(
MagicStarPower 06-25-2006, 05:16 PM I HAVE TO BACK OUT!!! Some plans came up that I cannot control!
Thanks anyway,
MSP
Magic, that's fine. Thanks for backing up now rather than later.
JurassicPark, are you sure you really want to back out? I would keep trying, seeing as the challenge isn't until 2:30... it seems a lot of people are having trouble getting into VMK right now. I don't think it's just you. Worst things worst, you will help do the Forum stuff (yes, there is a bunch of it) and let your teammates get into VMK to do the in-game things.
-skippyskippy
KrazyBella 06-25-2006, 05:33 PM :oh task is moved.. yeah vmk isnt exactly working for me right now either. well thats good its moved now cause i can go eat lunch! heh imn so hungry...
AwesomeTom 06-25-2006, 05:39 PM coolcrabtoo, please clear your message box. I would like to send you a pm. Thank you :)
SuperJaekizzle 06-25-2006, 05:59 PM VMK is not working.. :(
Patience. I'll bet by 2:30 it'll be up and running. If not, it isn't exactly necessary to get into the Kingdom (no mini-games or anything) it just helps to check out places.
-skippyskippy
KrazyBella 06-25-2006, 06:06 PM ah.. so sorry but it looks like im not going to be able to make this task :( i need to go somewhere and we should be leaving in about 10 minutes, so if we get back early enough and the task is still going on ill join in :) i just read in the post above you said its not exactly necessary to be in the kingdom, so im guessing we will work it out on our own, so when i get back ill check in with my team. once again so sorry!
That's okay Bella, I'm sure JustAnotherRegret and sorasapple can handle it if you're not there!
Please decide Team Leaders, the only confirmed leaders so far are Gligar and xKawaii (JustAnother Regret). Tentative leaders are Schmoofy.
AwesomeTom has replaced MagicStarPower.
NOTE: Team Leaders, and everyone else, clear out your PM boxes prior to Part One! I will be communicating with you via PM and obviously you won't get clues if your box is full!
-skippykskippy
SuperJaekizzle 06-25-2006, 06:13 PM I am trying to get some idea of if caveowonder and Schmoofy agree on Schmoofy being leader but i have got no PM what so ever.
Well, check to see if cavowonder and/or schmoofy is online. Cavowonder was online in a minute ago...
...and VMK is working for me. Are you guys using Internet Explorer?
-skippyskippy
Exoxus 06-25-2006, 06:45 PM Skippy, we decided on AwesomeTom as captain. ;)
ladycop67 06-25-2006, 07:17 PM jurassicpark said he cant make it, also have not talked to captainzeke, so not sure where my team stands
CaptainZeke 06-25-2006, 07:18 PM (Sniff sniff) Sunday mornings are not good for me... any time before 2:00 EST won't work, so if that's when most will be, I will back out now... :(
The time was changed, Captain! It's at 2:30! You're still in it! :)
-skippyskippy
EDIT: So, these are leaders:
AwesomeTom
xKawaii
CL_PinkPokaDot*
gligar
CaptainZeke*
Schmoofy*
*No leader officially chosen... leader chosen by me.
Is that right? They are in no particular order.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 07:21 PM Woot! Almost time! Skippy, I may be late because of loading.
I'm having Black Screen at the moment as well. Try to log on, now, everyone, so by 2:30 we're in.
-skippyskippy
AwesomeTom 06-25-2006, 07:25 PM Actually, me and conduitman discussed, and I am team leader LOL. Reasons I couldnt' get crab is because his pm box was full...
Okay everyone, please start arriving at Town Square, North East! Someone get Captain... he thinks he missed it...
-skippyskippy
technogirl 06-25-2006, 07:28 PM Can I still join a team skippy?
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 07:29 PM LOL, I was looking for everyone.
AwesomeTom 06-25-2006, 08:03 PM I cannot figure this out, and crab is gone, me and conduitman are thinking our brains off LOL this is hard...
Exoxus 06-25-2006, 08:42 PM EDIT: Nvm! I was helped! :D
cavowonder 06-25-2006, 09:16 PM SKippy, please clear your pm box when you get around to it, I have something important to ask.
-cave
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 09:17 PM GAHH, did anyone finish the whole part of the game?
Exoxus 06-25-2006, 09:22 PM Tom's gone, and I am off VMK now. I haven't a clue of what you mean by the Discussion Archive one.
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 09:26 PM I'm done for the day. Will start up again tomorrow...if I'm still in the game.
AwesomeTom 06-25-2006, 09:54 PM Everyone seems to be putting this to the side until tomorrow. I will join you LOL
Exoxus 06-25-2006, 09:56 PM Yeah, I think it is too hard. x)
There are so so so many threads! Which one!?
(HOST_Lily, here I come! Ahaha!)
Oranges 06-25-2006, 10:23 PM Sorry gligar. I disconnected once and then I kept getting the black screen.
It seems like a lot of people were quitting, LOL :D.
Skippyskippy, when you give more riddles, could you please make them a little more specific? I mean, don't give out the answer, but give enough information that lets people distinguish between rooms. Like, that one question about secret number 65, that could have been a lot of rooms. I think a lot of other people had trouble with this too, because all the Autopia Tracks had speed limit signs that read "65" on them.
I'll try again tomorrow.
~Oranges
CaptainZeke 06-25-2006, 10:32 PM I think a lot of other people had trouble with this too, because all the Autopia Tracks had speed limit signs that read "65" on them.
I'll try again tomorrow.
~Oranges
Uh... I always read them as "6.5"... I may be wrong, though. @_@
Oranges 06-25-2006, 10:33 PM Uh... I always read them as "6.5"... I may be wrong, though. @_@
Even if it was, it would still confuse people. If you weren't looking close, you could easily mistake it for 65.
CaptainZeke 06-25-2006, 10:35 PM Even if it was, it would still confuse people. If you weren't looking close, you could easily mistake it for 65.
Too true.
Anywho, I don't feel like participating anymore today. I'm having some... Troubles on VMK, and don't feel like going back on.
Eek, eek, eek. Where to begin. There were several flaws in the system that I had not anticipated, not just in VMK/VMKF, but in my own computer.
1. Flood Control. I could only send a PM every minute.
2. Minimal PM Storage. I had to continue to empty.
3. Sending PMs. I had all of the clues written out in a Word document, in addition to Flood Control, it took me a minute to find the user that needed to be sent to and then actually send it.
4. VMK Slow. VMK was very slow today for some reason. At least I could get on (many couldn't), but it was as slow as molasses.
5. Lunch. This came up very suddenly and without warning. It caused a delay.
6. Connectivity. Unfortunately you must not have listened when I said connect with your teammates. (Well, a few of you did. I thank those who did.) It's near impossible to do this unless you are on VMK Friends list and/or buddy's on VMKF.
7. Server Too Busy. We encountered this on VMKF and it caused a slight delay.
8. Crash. My computer entirely crashed; I had a lot of programs open and was trying to continue. I eventually just crashed.
9. Difficulty. Yes, this was difficult. It was supposed to be. I applaud Captain Zeke, cavowonder, PinkPokaDot, RedJenny, and Jaekizzle in particular for their excellent teamwork in solving the clues. There were also some things in rooms (such as the 65 sign in Autopia) that I had not forseen. Thank you for enlightening me on those, Florida.
So, as you can clearly see, there were LOTS of problems. But I suppose that's to be expected. This has never been done before. So, I'm going to do my best to fix these problems.
1. Flood Control: I will use PM system sparingly, only when it is abseloutley necessary (numbers). Most answers will be delievered through trade window next time, unless it includes content that can't be said on VMK.
2. Minimal PM Storage: See above.
3. Sending PMs: I will try using the multi-send feature more. This should cut down on flood control.
4. VMK Slow: From now on parts of the game will be held on weekdays at most. This is because often VMK is less crowded on Monday-Friday.
5. Lunch: LOL, I'll probably just have to do the part immediately after a meal.
6. Connectivity: I'm going to try to get a link directly to sending a PM to all of you. You guys need to connect with your teammates, and possibly me.
7. Server Too Busy: See #4.
8. Crash: Basically, the less programs and flood control the better.
9. Difficulty: Per suggestion I will make the riddles a bit more specific. Otherwise, you're on your own.
I apoligize for all of the confusion. We will pick off where we left off tomorrow.
-skippyskippy
Oranges 06-25-2006, 10:48 PM Thanks for saying all that, skippy. I was having problems even staying on VMK. I disconnected once and then I got the black screen from then on. Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow. Hey, it was the first day. Every great event has flaws, and it'll get better as we progess.
Good luck to all tomorrow, because the Oranges will beat you. :Tongue:
~Oranges
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 10:48 PM Can we work on the clue we left off on for the rest of today?
Yeah we will beat you.

-skippyskippy
Yay! :D
But our team was having difficulty because -name removed- was fighing us because he was getting mad. He kept saying he was leaving for good, then 'jk'. About 5 times. We and Tom are friends in VMK, we had not much difficulty at all. Also, we never got the Clue after the Star Traders one until much later then the others. Everyone kept telling me we are way past that, but not until later I got the clue from you. :)
We're going to begin at the "average" clue that we left off on. Meaning, people were who were slightly ahead will go back a bit, and people who were slightly behind will move up a bit. We'll just start from there.
Thanks for understanding guys.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 11:02 PM What time skippy? By the way, if it is before 1:00 PM PST (that's 4:00 PM for you), please give CL_Florida Oranges the clues until I get on. Give me a copy too. =)
CaptainZeke 06-25-2006, 11:03 PM Heh... If it's weekdays, I can't do it the rest of this week unless it's after 5:30 EST... Many plans lately. :(
I'm sure BestJurassicPark can help ya while you're absent, Captain. I'm thinking a 5:30 time maybe? It may actually have to be delayed until Tuesday, we'll have to see.

KrazyBella 06-25-2006, 11:13 PM ok so for those of us who were not there, and have no idea what is going on.. you think maybe you could fill us in? I got how you were having problems, etc, LOL but if everything continues on from each other, its not going to help not knowing the beginning. Also, where exactly are we going for the next thing and when?
m0nk33b0y 06-25-2006, 11:41 PM Skippy, can I write an evaluation of Clues for what happened today?
Hmm, okay. Stop at the part with the Home Button, though.

m0nk33b0y 06-26-2006, 05:53 AM Our First Clue Stated:
The secret lies with 65…
This clue was very ambiguous, it could have lead to many places, but the place we needed was the Inner Space Shop.
The next clue said:
Now, journey to the Inner Space Shop. Inside you will find Star Trader. Click his register.
When you do this, Inner Space Shop will not come up… it will bring up another shop, and then quickly switch to Inner Space. This is thought to be a bug, but the developers had a secret meaning for this…
Visit the shop that came up first. There is one regular furniture item that appears somewhere else. But where?
After going to the shop and clicking Star Trader, you very quickly see Small World Imports and then it switches to Inner Space Shop. This should lead you to the Public Room Small World Imports. After going there, you will see many items in the room. The item we were looking for is Lumiere. Of course! Lumiere can also be found in Nautilus Grotto.
The next clue had us finding a connection...
Continue to the Nautilus Grotto. There is Lumiere! But next to him is a portrait. The next link to the treasure was linked from VMK to VMK Forums. Find the connection here.
The connection has to do with the picture and VMK Forums. The picture is of a pirate. And there is no where else on the forums than the Home Button at the top of the page.
Next time on Treasure Hunters:
Teams will use the Home Button to find new discoveries...
EDIT: I am finding the pictures to put in the guide. If you want to see for yourself the inner space thing it works! And it's really cool.
That's a really nice guide, gligar. Thanks for putting that together.
Bad news, guys! I can't do the rest of Part One today, something came up. I should be able to do it tomorrow around 5/5:30 EST.

PrincessTmkttt 06-26-2006, 02:05 PM since i did not post in time to get on the list can i be back up ? pm me if you need me
tmkttt
m0nk33b0y 06-26-2006, 04:18 PM Thanks Skippy! I just realized if you keep me in the game, I could do more of these! =D JK. But if I get out of the game before the final hunt then I would be willing to do these for you, just send me the clues after that round is over.
Skippy, I can be on tomorrow. Just send me the clues.
EDIT: Where do we meet? Do we save all prior clues?
AwesomeTom 06-26-2006, 04:23 PM Wow, that really helps my team out. We were stuck at the connections part... LOL
KrazyBella 06-26-2006, 07:01 PM Thanks a lot! Now im not so lost.. LOL ok so that's where everyone left off then correct?
Well, a couple teams were one step ahead. Think of it as a reward for working hard.
I think this could happen tomorrow at 6:30 EST PM.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 06-26-2006, 10:38 PM So if we got ahead, we start on the "average" clue but we know the answers so we can go faster through the race, right?
niclk 06-26-2006, 11:30 PM i dont get what you are saying
KrazyBella 06-27-2006, 01:05 AM well wait i don't get how teams could be ahead.. if the last clue was the "home button". how would people know what to do with that, if they don't have what they are actually looking for in the end in mind..?
m0nk33b0y 06-27-2006, 01:21 AM Okay. Some teams got ahead of the "Home Button" clue. This whole section of the race was supposed to end on Sunday. Instead, he is splitting Part 1 into 2 Parts. The teams that got ahead of the average clue still start at the average clue, but know the answers to the clues after it because they either finished or got ahead of that clue.
WOW. Like an essay.
KrazyBella 06-27-2006, 01:38 AM LOL ok..i got the two parts :), but what are you considering the "average clue" like what im trying to say is exactly what you just said.. how would they even Know the clues AFTER the "average" clue if this is where he stopped, with the home button. you mean to tell me that other teams actually figured out what skippy's next clue was going to be?? i can see having thoughts of what is to come of the next thing, but how would they know answers to a question that hasn't been asked? unless of course you are leaving something out..
m0nk33b0y 06-27-2006, 02:07 AM He meant to finish the part of the race on Sunday, but couldn't. He had all of part 1 ready, so he used all of the questions. Some teams are farther in, some teams are more behind. In other words, he didn't stop at the home button and he gave some teams more clues than others because they solved clues faster than other teams.
Wow! I thought this was a game, not advanced psycology. LOL
We'll meet in my Underwater Animation Academy tomorrow at 6:30 PM EST if all goes well.
-skippyskippy
AwesomeTom 06-27-2006, 03:24 AM I can make it skippy LOL, but I am very busy doing nothing, so who knows ;) LOL
Evoulie 06-27-2006, 11:00 PM Add Evoulie to The Story Please.
m0nk33b0y 06-28-2006, 01:22 AM Wow. These clues make my head hurt. OW.
For the record, Part One is still going. Nobody has completed it, but Jk and Cave are on the last clue!...
For those teams who did not show up, one of you will be randomly eliminated once Part One is completed.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 07-02-2006, 06:01 AM Who are "Those Teams"?
CL_PinkPokaDot's team, AwesomeTom's team, and CaptainZeke's team. Still no progress from you guys... it's still going...
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 07-02-2006, 04:17 PM Yeah. Can't make out what counts as a shadow and what doesn't.
Look carefully... I thought that part of the clue was obvious.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 07-03-2006, 06:23 PM Did anyone finish part 1 yet?
cavowonder 07-03-2006, 06:39 PM Did anyone finish part 1 yet?
I don't think so. Right now, SuperJaekizzle and I are on the last clue, but we can't figure it out. Maybe Skippy should call together another meeting, that way everyone is refreshed and ready to continue.
-cave
m0nk33b0y 07-03-2006, 06:43 PM Did anyone get the "Shadow" clue yet?
Happy 4th of July, everyone! Here's some help for you who are stuck:
Gligar/TrinityWhitch: Pretty much everything is dark in the Forbidden Temple... but light forms a "shadow" that is shaped like a certain animal next to the large skull. Look carefully!
Jk/Cave: Try PMing one of the older Mods. The Keyholder hardly gets on anymore, but here's a hint... it's a HE and he's a MOD.
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 07-05-2006, 09:25 PM Thanks skippy. Wasn't sure what shadow you were looking for. =D
JK and Cave have completed Part One!!!
-skippyskippy
m0nk33b0y 07-09-2006, 07:08 PM Woot, finally figured out the shadow. Still waiting for clue though. Is the game still going on?
