 		Yea I didn't get one either. My best friend is shipping out to the Navy today so I was at his house all night. Right before I came home and went to bed I said "$hit!! the countdown ends tonight!" lol. As soon as I said that, I passed out lol. Oh well. I think there will be more keys though seeing as there are 4 more servers to unlock. As long as we're together on this thing I don't have a problem of not having a key. I just hope we figure out what we need to do with them when the time comes.

Same here... I'd monitored this forum near-constantly the last few days, and saw nothing but fruitless speculation. I step out for a few hours to eat and watch some Stewart/Colbert -- and return to see I've missed the key giveaway, the one event that matters. Now that I've caught up with the discussion and unlocked media, there's nothing left but... fruitless speculation. Sad


LOL, that's EXACTLY what I was doing. Except I had them DVR-ed so I was watching ones from last week. The #1 threat to America....... ROBOT BEARS!

Hopefully what a lot of people are saying is right and us lame-o people will have four more chances to get the keys to a brand new car... or a Halo... or something. Smile

 		I'd like to correct something I posted last night in haste. I misremembered the code-key entry sequence.

I did have to enter the long code key. However, I did so using cut-and-paste from the countdown site, and the first try at the spambuster "short key" didn't take. (It's case-sensitive, and I didn't use the shift-lock when I should've.) My second try on the short key, however, didn't require me to reenter the long code key.

Last night, when posting, I seem to have forgotten what I had to do to set up the first try.

 		I didn't get a long key until after I completed the spam buster and I never had to enter in the long key-it was just displayed on screen.

 		base64?
I wasn't on in time to get one of they keys, but if they all end with "==" then it sounds like they might be base64 encoded. I think it might be worth it if everyone who was fortunate enough to receive one would try to decode it. A quick google search turned up www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Decode/

Looking forward to seeing the results. ^_^

Don't know if it's been posted before or if we figured it out (still a noob sry) but I got 6 totally different numbers instead of BoonIsha's "90GH7j". Anyone know what it means? What should I do? Again sorry. I'm doing my best to try to keep up with everyone.

Someone is saying that those with keys will receive something. I doubt it. We will just have the opportunity to use them. That will probably help unlock another "history" or comic and everyone will have access to it.


To clarify, the first 100 people to enter their keys were told they would be rewarded. The exact message was:
Quote:

Key Received

93 more keys are required before this server's content is available.

For your participation in unlocking this Forerunner database you will be rewarded. More information will be sent to you soon.

This was after we entered the 23-24 character one. The other was just a standard captcha, though a particularly difficult one to read.

This all occured around 10 PM CST last night.

If you did not check the old countdown page before the Server was unlocked, you did not get a key.

Once the server was unlocked, there was no reason to continue giving out keys.
