 		NoahBoddy is LIVE, and a apology of sorts from the Push Team
Thought this was nice and gave me closure and took the bitterness out of the Push fiasco...

An Important Message from the Producer
As you can see, the contest is officially underway with the update of NoahBoddy.com and the posting of our official rules (see the "Game Rules" link on the main site).

The contest IS REAL.

There will be:

6 winners
6 Final Solutions
6 Grand Prizes

We have been reading the posts and flames from the fans of Push, Nevada and elsewhere and we understand your concerns. The reason we have not had the official rules up and running was because only within the past 72 hours have they been completed.

It was our (myself and my small, unpaid but dedicated team) sincere hope that we would be able to run this Internet Experience under the auspices of LivePlanet, but legal difficulties have made such impossible. As such, a new company has been formed for the process of this Experience—an experience that we hope you will enjoy as we continue to experiment with the Internet and how it best can be used to bring entertainment to an audience.

As I said elsewhere, the experience of Push, Nevada was an inspiration for me; the chance to interact with its fans a revelation. I felt the audience deserved better than it received and that the show deserved a chance.

So while the show itself was cancelled and the final solution for its storyline forever left unanswered, this is what I could do for its audience—a new story, taking the strength of the Internet's audience and giving them a chance to solve something new.

Something with more determination, with a sharper focus and a promise to deliver puzzles and hints and clues that are geared for the voracious Internet audience. No more concerns about 'are we over thinking?' We are going to do everything we can to make sure you are not even close to thinking hard enough.

You will notice that the Grand Prizes are to be disclosed later—there is a reason for that. We here at Noah Boddy Productions (the new company comprised, literally, of those that wanted to do this during their off hours) are still working on them. If you have gone through the trouble to solve them, you want something spectacular—and as this site was a spur of the moment decision on our part (although the story is actually one that we've wanted to tell for a while), we are still in the process of putting together the necessary pieces to give you Grand Prizes worthy of the time. We think you're going to be happy.

And with that, the contest begins—yes, I know some of you are still going to be wary, and I understand why. This is an experiment for everyone—you and me. It may well fail. But I think if you stay with us and give this a chance, you'll find the story a great one and the contests far more challenging.

I sincerely hope you will stick around. We are going to try something different—and we would love to see what you think of it. If the amount of email that's flooded my account is any indication, you certainly WANT another, better puzzle. That's what we intend to give you.

Sincerely, The Noah Boddy Team

P.S. Yes, Noah Boddy remains behind the screen for now. Your job is to find out who the Noah Boddy in the STORY is—but we promise, the real Noah Boddy will raise his or her neck before the final curtain.

Makes me feel good that they do give a damn...LET'S FIRE IT UP!!!!

John

 		I soo hope that unfiction takes this one on.
You are so organized, and user friendly.

It seems that the NB game may have multiple threads to lead to six solutions, and if there is nowhere to organize them......
well,as a newbie, it would turn me sour on these types of games.

Please, do with noahboddy what you did with Push. But,only if you think the game is legit and worthy.

Just my two cents.

 		I agree, what say you SpaceBass? Can we set up a Forum for Noah Boddy? Or should we use the catagories allready on the board for Push since this is Push related, albeit loosely, from the original...

And I for one like the fact that this is a freebie...I'm not cheap mind you, however I'm not going to pay $10-$15.00 dollars a month or $25.00 dollars a quarter to play an online game...yes, I understand that they should be compensated for in some way for their time and effort, but I also believe that as much as I hate them, let the pop up adds and Corporate America pay while we play...after all, if Information Wants To Be Free, why not Entertainment too?

 		Do you guys want a full category organized in the same way as the Push category, or just a single forum to start?

There are only 23 words in Matthew 5:16, not 37.
and only 22 words in Acts 6:15, not 35.
Of course, I may not be looking at the right version, but I scanned 14 versions of Acts 6:15, and the only one that had more that 28 words was the Wycliffe New Testament.

 		Try these instead

http://www.htmlbible.com/kjv30/index.htm


And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die

He that hath an 1ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were 1tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Let your light so 1shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made 1manifest to his saints

For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed

 		Word association
My first instinct on hearing optometrist is "The Great Gatsby" Fitzgerald kept mentioning the eyeglass sign. Just a random thought as the game kicks in.

 		One forum works for me...allthough if you went two, then I would suggest General Forum and a Spec Forum or three forums being the two suggested plus a Website Addies and Updates (seeing as this will be 100% web played may not hurt)

Now as for Optometrist, WHERE IN THE HELL DID YOU PULL THAT OUT OF THIN AIR FROM???? LOL...seriously, I'm totally clueless...I see how you came across it, but um...how did you come across it? Where are the numbers from on how you arrive at those letters....HELP!!!

 		This game really isn't related to Push, and the apology really isn't from the producer's of Push. The people at Noah Boddy Productions were playing the game of Push, and were just as disappointed as the rest of us at the out-come, so they started their own company and their own game. The apology is NOT from PUSH!!
