Yes. I believe both myself and Anton P. Nym entered our keys. At least thats all I know of.

Let's find these "Wells of History" and I'll share with you what I find there with my key.

I entered the 5-6 digit thingy but didn't enter my 23 digit key.

That's exactly my situation Angri, I entered the code to get my key but didn't enter my actual key anywhere

My "long key" was already entered... but the "short key" (probably a gadget to prevent the intrepid from 'botting servers 2-5) I had to enter myself.
-- Steve even blew the first try... it's case sensitive, y'know.

The first 100 get something. Cool.

Well, I guess it can't harm to at least identify who all got keys. I wonder how many Unfiction folks got keys.

Well, it only matters for the people who entered it. If you got a key and didn't enter it, it doesn't matter. Only the first 100 to actually enter it will get something.

Entered my key when there were 28 people left to put in their own. Then I refreshed the page maybe 5 minutes later to see if anything had changed. I had to re-enter my key. Hopefully it didn't make it invalid in doing so.

I think we're getting our keys mixed up. I agree with Anton P. Nym's thought that there was a short 4-6 character key for a gadget. But as far as I know, no one had to re-enter that long 24 character key they got.

Okay so no one actually had to manually enter that long 24 or 26 character string that was specifically labeled as The Key?

Everyone worried about the Birthday anomoly.
Correct me if I'm wrong but...
When you went to the site a "key" was probably associated with your ip address as soon as you typed in the 4-6 digit thingy.
The BDay issue came up as the page tried to show you the next content.
You were not allowed to see it yet you probably activated your code.
I hope you wrote down or copy/pasted it somewhere.

I got to a page asking for my short capcha key and the long unique key. I was unable to save it as my computer crashed directly after I started interacting with the server. So here's hoping I don't need the key sequence anymore and it remembers me as the second person to enter a key! (It said they needed 98 more keys after I entered mine.)
