[QUESTION] Server 5?

What happened that led to it being opened? I completely missed it.

(source)

* Just after 9pm PDT, according to the times listed on the artifact location page, GPS coordinates appeared beside each city. People in the area then headed to the locations to find ''something''.
* An hour later, the Los Angeles coordinates were 'corrected'.
* At 10:11 PDT, eccramer of UF discovered a projector playing a video on the wall at the Seattle location. Within this video was a web address to the Server 5 Bounce Path Control page. He reported it to Gigawatts of UF on IRC, and all 100 keys were then claimed within minutes.
* By 10:23pm PDT, 100 keys had been entered and[Server 05 was unlocked (though once again, not without technical difficulty)
* At 10:30pm PDT, the New York coordinates were also 'corrected'.
* The time it took from discovering the Bounce Path Control page (first key entered) to the 100 keys being entered took about 20 minutes - however, the first 5 keys spanned 19 minutes, at which point the BPC page link was posted, and within under 2 minutes, the rest had been claimed.

Thank you. I saw no mention of how this happened here and was wondering. I wasn't expecting server 5 this soon after server 4.

Eccramer confirmed it to just be the server 5 video with the URL for BPC added in.

Yeah, I reneged and said that it was different for a while, but that's just because I was exhausted and not all there in the head. I'll upload it later anyway, but it is in fact the same video from server 5.
