 		No donations
No at the top of this page, you can see that someone tried to make a donation, but got nowhere fast. I thought of the samething, but we must enter a word/phrase not a JPEG/GIF

Also, has anyone noticed, this thread has gone on for fourteen pages? Damn we're stumped.

 		I called and talked to Elaine Wu, the contact for over the phone donations, she said she had no idea what I was asking about when I inquired as to why their url was on a jpg image on ourcolony.net She then inquired which organization I was from, etc. etc. She seemed sincere in not knowing what I was talking about, especially since she indicated that I was the first call she received inquiring about ourcolony...anywho...

 		Microsoft's 25 year anniverary was on Sept. 5, 2000.

Not that that helps.

 		I thought there was a way to post JPG's to the site...where did all the images in the Image Gallery come from? Maybe it's a dead end, but it just seems strange that a real organization would be prominently figured in a game pic, if it had absolutely nothing to do with the game.

If Elaine Wu is really Out of Game, she's probably gotten more phone calls over the past two days than she gets in a month...LOL Imagine what the water-cooler discussions are like at the aaci this week...

 		Wait...Cord of 3 said that Elaine Wu told him that she hadn't gotten any other calls...does that make sense...or maybe he was just the first. I would think the phone would be ringing off the hook over there...

I don't know...maybe i'm obsessing on this needlessly...

On another note, the 502.com thing seems really strange, too. Especially since I can't get my browser to display the source. Thoughts?

 		I think we should all donate to AACI for Elaine Wu to appologize for all of the phone calls. He he he.

 		Interesting...there IS a 502.jp, but it's mostly in Japanese characters...I don't have the character set installed and can't locate my XP install disk, so can't see if there's anything there...

 		I found this while searching for November 27, 1998 (112798).

http://members.cruzio.com/~gypsy/gv/GV_1998_11_27.html

"Global Village" seems to fit along with the theme of OC, but I don't see any other frame of reference.

 		I don't mean to sound stupid or anything but doesn't it say "Your Colony has already answered this challenge" on the top of the page?

Yes, butbefore now there has been a challenge every single day, we are now on our 2nd day without any new challenge in sight. Also it says at the bottom:

"impressive, many have solved part of the challenge
have you seen everything?"

Which means that there is more to this image than we have found.

On a side not i just e-mailed the gamem8ker asking for more information because we seem to be stumped. Doubt he'll even read it though.

 		Most of what is being discussed here relates to those that have already solved the challenge and after the fact a new message from our pal gamem8ker indicated that we were smart, brave and all that but asked if we have seen everything?! as if there were more to see, solve, ponder, and pontificate...what have hundreds of people overlooked?

 		You know people have just said that they have the "Your colony has already completed this challenge" On their challenge page, what the heck did you guys do? I haven't gotten that and I have done nothing but put in EVERYTHING under the sun as a solution

 		Just a thought... as previously stated (I noticed it too) many of the numbers deal with car models... specifically Ferrari's. I know it's been widely assumed that this whole game was for XBOX2... but perhaps it is instead for the new FORZA Motorsport game that XBOX has been touting all over the place? It's supposed to be a one-of-a-kind car game. It's supposed to have the largest list of cars ever (Over 230) and many are Ferrari models.

I dont know... maybe the whole colony is for that?
