Anybody else still playing this game?

I'm trying to do the Chapter 5 clue hunt, but it's sending me to a Chapter 2 game at ABC... the heck?

It worked for me...
Clue was:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Southfield. And the image was a box from the department of physics at Queens College. Not sure if they know they're being referenced in-game...


Also, I'm in the middle of splicing together the staticy bits of the latest video...[/spoiler]

You can always do the Australian version at yahoo7.
You will end up with a different codeword, but it will give you exactly the same clue at find815. I think they must have intended to have Australian and English based free-call numbers, but never got around to it.

So the game is up.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sam finds flight 815 rather than the Black Rock.

I believe the turn of events was this:
The Maxwell Group, for whatever reason(s), wants the search to be called off for good on Flight 815. So they plant a decoy at the bottom of the Sunda Trench, and they set out to go "find" it. However, who looks for a plane long gone that was LA-bound out of Sydney at the bottom of the Indian Ocean? To draw off suspicion, they search for a ship they know is gone: the Black Rock. There's legitimate reason to be searching for it.

They then needed a plant. Someone completely legitimate who desperately wants something, and is willing to go to the lengths Sam did to carry out the will of a mysterious emailer, also The Maxwell Group. He finds Oceanic 815 like they want, and recieves closure of some sort (the sort that isn't real).

Brilliant plan.


We still don't know what's what with the auth server though...

For whatever reason, there was a commercial for flyoceanicair.com on tonight's Eli Stone -- just aired a few minutes ago -- with flashes to Sam and find815.com. Dunno what it means, but the sites are both down/getting slammage.

Especially since it's basically game over for this one. There isnt any more ongoing stuff for it.

Yea, I noticed on the commercial it mentioned the "gold pass", but only briefly, with Sam's inter-cutting different then what's on FlyOceanicAir.com (stating "we found the black rock" and "these aren't good people" or something like that). Phase 2 about to start along with the series maybe and the business kinda keeping it from happening?

Yeah I saw the commercial on ABC too.

Is this the guy who parachuted in at the very end of the season premiere earlier tonight?

I was assuming given the timing of the maxwell group's auth server unlocking that we would get a clue in the ad as to how to get into maxwell's system, but I've picked through the ad frame by frame and found nothing terribly interesting, so I'm incredibly confused right now.

Find Black Rock

Am I the only one having problems with this stupid activity? I have done it a dozen times at least, and I can not get all of them in time, only 9! I think I figured out the right way to do it, but I still can not do it in time. What happens when you finish it? Anything?

You get a video. I'm told it's longer than if you just "continue story," but I haven't tried.

The ROV thing IS tough, it took me like 25 minutes to get it. Take a few tries where you know you won't win, just try to find the quickest ways to the different points (my trick was straight up for the three there, straight along the top, and then immediately along the left for the two dots before hitting the bottom and finishing with the third middle-dot.

If that makes any sense at all.

It seemed pretty easy to me. I narrowly missed completing it on the first try by about a second. The second try gave me plenty of time to spare. Remember to keep moving, try to avoid walls, and always be aware of your position and bearing.

My path ended up looking a little something like this:

You just have to keep trying, a lot of the activities were a pain in the ass. I hope we have a Phase 2 coming because i want more LOST ARG stuff!
