It seems most everything was found in the IRC channels. Thats why it seems like we missed some steps. As explained before, someone found that if you added profvol49 to your msn messenger it was IMBOT. If you asked the right questions it would give you the link to the bounce path. Although there was some reverse engineering, it seems it was unlocked the way it was suppose to be. The only thing I don't like is it's first come firs serve. All it takes is one person to figure out the riddle and then its every man for themselves.

In my opinion, that's kinda cheating, but since there's no other logical way to come to the conclusion that you should type in boomerang, I guess everything's fair in love, war, and crappy arg's

Yeah, these things hit really quickly.
I hope they have some sort of general swag at the end for those that couldn't be one of the lucky few. Not something like the packages that get sent out, but just something so people can say "I was a part of this".
I myself wouldn't mind a SOTA Shirt or a Glyph shirt.

I'm sure this has been stated elsewhere, but since I haven't been following this whole thing too closely, does anybody know exactly what this "reward" is if you happen to be one of the fortunate 100 people who activates a key?

It carries a code for a gamerpic on XboxLive, a shirt thats the wrong size, and something that varies (book, poster, etc)

Wait, how do you add profvol49? Don't you need @something.something for MSN to accept it?

your mistaken, i was in the chat the whole time, and it was actuallly pretty complex
anyway the boomerang site isnt related to server 4 opening, i guess thats part of server 5, we just got ahead of ourselves - the password boomerang can be found in server 4, its the name of the coonstallation in one of the images
so it does go together nicely, its just us who mess it up by brute forcing ip's etc

right. I see why so many people hate this now. I spend weeks studying the previous clues, analysing the evidence from server 3 to the maximum extent of my abilities, and it all turned out to be useless.
I'm not so mad about not getting a key. Even if i hadn't been out at the shops I probably would've been too slow.
Ah well. I'm not interested in this anymore.

If their "ARG" wasn't so lame, predictable and boring there would be nothing to brute force nor any desire to.
Especially when you start tossing an offer of free swag in there people stop considering it a game for fun and it becomes a competition win "by any means necessary".

i agree, infact i felt the same way after server 1 and 3 opened, at least server 2 had a puzzle, and with server 4 i got a key.
but yeah this arg does have a unfair sucky feel to it, but my point was that the boomerang page isnt meant to be found yet nothing else, the server 4 stuff didnt need to be brute forced
