I'm definitely going to be subscribing this round - granted, the first round could have been a lot better, but it was their first attempt at creating something that would appeal to old hands and newcomers.
Yes, they could have done a better job (on a scale from A to F, with F being the lowest, I'd put the first episode around a C/C+ overall - A for effort though), but I had fun.
Besides, I want to know how Kevin's side project is going - the one I inspired with my little note about "Nobody gets left behind"!

The site is now live and accepting registration codes after an initial downtime (which lead me to this blog).
I've completed all the puzzles for Madame Z, bar the crystal ball. I'm suffering a mental block and can't figure out what type of puzzle this is. Anyone have any pointers?
EDIT: Nevermind, I was trying to be too clever. Solved!

yeah all straightforward, although like you I'm stumped at 1 (just started looking)

it was the extra letters that threw me...
Edit: What was your question to MZ ? I've asked

Any help with the puzzles would be appreciated. I have been working on them but I have only got the binary and morse code one. Puzzles are a bit of my downfall when it comes to ARG's. =)

I asked Z if she knows where I left my car keys. I can't seem to find them anywhere...

A gentle hint for the color puzzle:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Consider the names of the colors, and consider that in old HTML color names grey is considered silver.

Yeah, that's where they're getting all this stuff. Send a line to Madam Z, she should get back to you pretty quick.

Ha! That colour one was a real surprise. As soon as I saw it I just said "Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me! There's an answer to this?" - and then, as so often happens, inspiration struck me. Such a simple solution to a seemingly impossible problem.
