 		I've kinda given up on following this one (too much stuff going on, and I was only ever there to read about it afterwards), but I noticed this in the source code from the page that netsua posted:
Quote:
<!--
ROJ_334514: we could not coexist.<br>
STN_845581: though we tried.<br>
TYU_983061: there were so many great ones then.<br>
ROJ_334514: some greater than others.<br><br>

ROJ_334514: we did not know where to go.<br>
STN_845581: to disperse or to cohere?<br>
TYU_983061: to cohere but in what form?<br>
ROJ_334514: we made a pact.<br><br>

ROJ_334514: it was no simple biz contract.<br>
STN_845581: not quite a faustian bargain.<br>
TYU_983061: more a molotov–ribbentrop pact.<br>
ROJ_334514: a princely protocol.<br><br>

ROJ_334514: the terms allowed only total victory or loss.<br>
STN_845581: the chances for total victory are now miniscule.<br>
TYU_983061: the odds of total loss are much greater.<br>
ROJ_334514: remember that the terms of the pact can never be reversed.

Hope that helps!

 		Interesting. That text was up for a short time on level 5. Then it disappeared. I guess it ended up in the source. It's related to the main text in the (current) 6th level.

 		Facebook Image
There's one more challenge on the 6th level before we can progress that involves forming a community on this page: http://www.facebook.com/events/385369864841892/. We think that, for each person that joins, another part of the image is revealed.
