Weird Key Info at [spam link removed-vpi] This "Blog" seems to have something to do with this. I keep going back to this site and it is getting weirder. I think they have something to do with this key. [spam link removed-vpi]

So since you have the key, you should know what you are supposed to do with it. Can you reveal that here? Wondering if it is worth the trouble to try and get a key.
Edited: On a Blog comment to me, they gave me a new video. I still don't know what to do. The comment was directed at me so have no idea.

I can't hear very well what he says - can anyone else hear what he is saying?

GoFindTheKey The OneKey is Everywhere To find the onekey, you must search for it. It is hidden. Clues will continue to follow. [spam link removed-vpi]

websites As previously mentioned, Potawatomi Casi no and gofindthekey.com are registered to the same IP Address. Another odd thing is that Marty Y has posted in almost all discussions about gofindthekey.com. Martin Yanick is also the administrator for bionicbeer.com.

I was driving to my grandmother's today (I live in Brookfield, her in Racine) and saw probably 4 billboards for this (gofindthekey.com and a picture of the key, nothing else). I have also seen an ad on TV for it...has me very intrigued. I haven't gotten a key yet but I will be going to the "05.17.08 770 Springdale Road, Brookfield 6:30 – 8:30 p.m." one and seeing what is there.

Re: gofindthekey ebay
OK, so here is where I am at with this. I have always been warned by many organizations, including the states attorney of my state and the federal government that if a contest is asking for money it is most likely a scam. So therefore, I am careful on paying money to a contest; there may even be laws in some states against that (paying entry fees, etc.). I admit, I don't know the laws in WI. So this is making me think that the bionic site is not actually "In Game". So I e-mailed with a question to the seller of this $17.00 key:
I asked why it would cost me $17.00 to buy the key, and asked what the key is actually worth, and asked why I would have to pay for the key. I got this answer:
"You are paying for instructions on how to use the key once you find it."
So wait, I thought I found it because the description of the ebay ad says
"You found the key". So this sends a red light as well as the charge for the ebay ad sent a red light.
I am all for capitalism and making money as long as you are up front. If this person has inside info on how to use the key given out at the certain locations advertised, OK - but tell us that and maybe we want to pay $17.00 for a shortcut - that would be our decision. But I would be forewarned that if you have the money to blow - fine go ahead, and if you don't - that's OK too; just be careful and be forwarned that it may not be ingame. If it is ingame, I challenge to prove it.

Yeah, that seems pretty much like a scam to me. Considering it involves a gambling operating, I'd be especially wary - there's enough money to be lost on gambling alone, and many people know the addictive quality of gambling and try to exploit it.
I suggest someone try to contact the owners of the gofindthekey.com site and inquire about the eBay item. If nothing else, it'll alert them to it if it is a scam and not a profit center of some kind for their 'game'.

I'm getting the distinct impression that bionicbeer has no direct relationship with the 'game' and is being gamejacked for traffic, which would make all this constant blasting of links to it in this forum outright spam.
So I'm watching...

I agree. His blog and the guy seem like they are trying to scam people by taking advantage of this. Stay away from bionicbeer and Marty Y, neither of them are affiliated with the game. Most like all guest accounts that link to something of his are also fake spam accounts.

New disclaimer on the "other" site.

You really do have to wonder. You can't possibly spend the money that is being spent on the billboards and such, as well as have 7 dates and times to get keys, if there are only 50 of them as claimed on the website that people have been mentioning. I won't bother to mention it since it will only get more people to visit the site. It's also interesting that "Martin Y" seems to be posting his messages everywhere, all pointing back to this apparently unrelated site. I highly doubt that the two are related. Too many things about this just don't smell right to me.
Local radio station WMXY is doing a promo from the Majestic theaters in Waukesha as part of the promotion, but their site says little more than that they will have one of their DJs there for the event. There is no way anyone would go through all of this to just give out 50 keys.

Scammer!!! Here is the latest disclaimer from [spam link removed-vpi]
The onekey that you are all looking for is only available through gofindthekey.com. You must follow the instructions exactly in order to receive a key. Additionally, the onekey on eBay has nothing to do with this marketing campaign. If you decide to purchase the onekey on eBay, you do so of your own free will.
