Louis, not knocking the idea of a contest...
Posted By: Someone you may know, maybe notDate: 10/16/03 3:02 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Honestly, seems a bit much for any contest (Louis Wu)

And I'm smart enough to realize that the clue/hint via the Google search would have been most likely within the first ten search results. Glad to hear people are having fun with it. I for one have been spending my time playing the game instead.

I have to commend for a difficult and unique way of having a contest, just not my cup of tea I guess.

Ta!

: The first winning entry came in 33 hours after the contest went live. The
: grand prize was a HELL of a lot more than a copy of Halo. (In fact, if you
: turned in a solution right now you'd win a strategy guide, a mini master
: chief, 2 t-shirts, and some stickers - considerably more than 'a copy of
: Halo that you already own'.)

: The last one of these that we did had, at its end, scans of some of the
: original papers used in the designing of the game of Marathon. Notes from
: the developers, discarded ideas, that sort of thing. Took over 2 months to
: solve, and involved 400 people (and several thousand posts on a forum
: dedicated to the search). Folks were doing it for the FUN of winning.

: If you think it's not worth your time, don't bother looking for trinkets. If
: you think you have to search 3 million web pages for solutions, you're not
: really our target audience; you haven't even bothered to read the
: information we've put out about the contest.

: Whatever. Play, or don't play. There's cool stuff to win for those who like
: puzzles. Nobody's holding a gun to your head.
