 		I think that the Rot +4 key was just a bad one. It's the same as the EscapeGravity one (look at the numbers), and they probably just had to leave it in since keys had already been sent out. It's also why Loki seeded the right key on NeoWin.net shortly after that.

As for the Rot13, I think it was already used. Rot13 is pretty common, I think that was the cipher that Caesar used.

 		Yeah, found that out too..
Rot-13 is the ceasar-decoding syst.
it means shift all letters 13 places
maybe the +4 is the other way around?
I'll look it up

 		Miss?
Don't know i read all 17 pages did you guys miss this one

http://vanishingpointgame.com/manifesto/

Quote:
Builders build. Writers write. Dancers dance.

I disappear.

In a few weeks, I will vanish. In the meantime, my job is to find—and reward—some of the cleverest people on the planet. Every week I will leave you twelve puzzles, ranging from easy to.....well, not so easy. Solving them earns you the chance to win some unbelievable prizes.

Impress me. This has been but a small taste of what I have in store for you. The real challenge starts both online and off when the countdown hits zero and the game begins.

Remember, countdowns usually end with a launch, and this will be a lift-off like the world has never seen.

Getting to this page means you're paying attention.
Keep it up when the countdown hits zero and you could win high-end laptops, gaming computers, media centers, software, gaming consoles, media players, and games

 		Thank you, but yes, we have those. When the Ignition video was released on Wednesday, we started it's own thread [VPG][PUZZLE/SOLVED] Video. If you register for unFiction you can do a "new posts" and you'll see when new stuff is posted since the last time you logged in.

 		It's much easier to find the signal in the noise over here. As ARG Forums Radio goes, unFiction always has the best reception. Smile

There isn't any best or only place for discussion. We're puzzle solvers and Alternate Reality Game players over here. Neowin is more technology oriented.

It's a quiet thread because the initial puzzle trail has ended. We opened a new thread when a new puzzle showed up (the Ignition video) after the topic was moved to "Potentials".

After the VPG event at the Bellagio, there will probably another new thread just for that event.

We will have people in the chat room relaying a phone call from the event (i.e. I'm going to be at the fountains and talking to Red Hatty who will be in the chat room letting everyone know what is going on). If I need information to answer a question, hopefully people in the room will have the answer for me and Red will relay it.

Welcome to unforum, Englez. We're a community filled with some of the best puzzle-solving minds on the planet (all of whom I hold in great awe). Trust me, when the game goes active, the new expanded thread will be rockin'. We have lots of experience with 42 Entertainment events. This is a fun place to play, you'll enjoy yourself here.

 		loki - puzzle - Space theories
I've looked on Neowin and on this forum, as well as wikipedia and the MS site.
Here's a search result for loki on the microsoft site:

Xbox.com | Outpost Kaloki X - Game Detail Page

Outpost Kaloki X on Xbox Live is the light-hearted space-station tycoon game filled with clever ... This title is only available to Xbox 360™ owners with an Xbox Live Silver or Gold membership ...
www.xbox.com/en-US/games/o/outpostkalokixbox360/default.htm

Apparently, loki has something to do with high points or outer space, and I've seen such indications and theories on the Neowin Forum as well. Somepeople are claiming that this game's prize a trip on a private space shuttl. I've also messed around with the clues a bit, nothing unusual thats not already posted.

Also, all of the math clues may have something to do with porabali and loci (plurul of porabala and locus, respectively.) If i recal correctly, one of the keys led to a page with a few mathamatical figures, I don't understand them b/c I'm in HS but I'm into computers, which led me to see this game. BTW, Whats all this about AVg's and 42? What is an AVG?
