list of keys

lokivanishes appears to have revisited her post at neowin on Dec. 29th and changed it slightly. Previously there was a jpg of the wh0isl0ki cipher box, now there's an attached file called Cipher_Key_1.jpg ( 67.3k ).
It's not new, but it at least tells us which key is number one. (I've updated the wiki with that.)
It also tells us that loki is very tricky, and so aptly named. It suggests that we have to be on the look out for things changing on us thoughout this journey.
Now, just in case the order of the keys hold a puzzle, here they are in order.
Assuming that the remaining key is #3. (That would be wrong if there's another key floating around out there, yet undiscovered.)

Does anyone see anything in that?
edit to add link to loki's neowin post. edit again, to add url names.

Well, if that list is right, it invalidates my "antepenultimate/zenith" thingy.

Embarassed lokivanishes may not have changed that post. That may have been a result of the neowin update yesterday. At least we know which key is #1.

Happy new years everybody!

I feel like there should be one more key. Especially if /antipenultimate is the 3rd to last.

[spec] What if the 1337 numbers in the words have significance?
wh0isl0ki = 00 or a total of 0
wh3r3t0g0 = 3300 or a total of 6
3scap3grav1ty = 331 or a total of 7
iw4nttwinyou = 4 or a total of 4
imm0rtaliz3m3 = 033 or a total of 6
Also, there's the matter of the "o" missing from "iw4nttwinyou"
It's just spec, but it might have significance, especially since some letter are changed to 1337 in certain words but not in others ( I , A , etc. )
Make of it what you will.

Other than the fact that the key names relate loosely to the content of those pages?

'whoisloki' = Loki's life story/biography
'wheretogo' = location of events (relates to 'circumambulation' too)
'escapegravity' = describes the 'vanishing point' (this is the weakest, although the 'ultimate vista' could be 'zenith' I suppose)
'iwanttowinyou' = describes what you could win
'immortalizeme' = describes how famous you'll be

I've English-ized the keys. I'm a bit bothered by the 'you' and 'me' parts in the last two. They don't quite fit. I might have expected "I want you to win" or "you immortalize me."

Well, the Numbers taken out of the Leet Words, (assuming that 3scap3grav1ty is the 3rd key), are 0033003314033. (or 00 3300 331 4 033, if you add spaces). It doesn't work if you put it into the Insert Key box, but perhaps it's a code?

curtis18, fubarz, and Seretar, i've added your names to the Wiki for the respective events.

Speaking of the Wiki, the countdowns were determined using the Countdown Timer Predictor. The only problem with this predictor is that it takes into account your computer's time zone. Therefore, to get the correct time for Sydney, someone in Sydney must use the Countdown Timer. I (living in the Eastern Standard Time zone), ended up calulating the time zones using good old math. Unfortunatley, my times might have been wrong. Could some people who live in the correct time zones please use the Countdown timer to find the times for the events in their time zone, and then add it to the wiki? Thanks!

I wonder if we're missing 2 logins since the subdirectories that have been discovered so far seem to be implying an alphabetical-ness. As in, we should at this point have 2 more puzzles accounting for words that start with "D" and "E."

Well, that would be the case, but look at "who is Loki"
It seems as though the keys are in the first person of a player.
The player wants to know who Loki is...
The player wants to know where to go...
The player wants to "escape gravity" (possibly metaphorical?)
The player wants to win (with "you" possibly being second person for the prizes? alternatively, second person could be the game itself)
And the player wants someone to immortalize them...
