	Oh my god, finally got it, but Jesus, that was difficult. Can't wait for the next one! Kudos to the entire Escapist Puzzling Staff!

	It took me an hour, but I'm there. Cheers to all involved in making this, it's been brilliant.

	cobra_ky: Dammit all, now i have to figure out what to put in there! Hint on the answergoeshere-url Is it possible that so many people have overlooked this?

	Since I couldn't figure out how to get to the page with the oddly bolded words I just did things the hard way and made a random guess... and it was right? What. The. Hell.

	fallouthirteen: Well, I've been looking at those pictures, read the clues, researched the people in the pictures, tried multiple things on the answer pane, and even with what sound like very explicit clues to the answer I just can't get this. I'm either thinking it's outside my knowledge base (unlikely) or my brain simply doesn't work using this link of logic, sort of like how it's impossible for me to get the message within message puzzles, yet day 3-3 and 4-2 were unbelievably simple and the only time it took to get them was the actual translating work. Guessed the answer from someone's earlier post about the subject's achievements being overlooked despite his being the biggest contribution to a certain subject. Made the connection from that post and a giant leap to guess the game's name. Also don't really see how the whole website in the hole really relates to the game in the slightest. NOW! I am finally done and I can go get on with the rest of my life. -Tabs<3- P.S ;) good luck.

	Finally... I... I got them all... I'm free! brain leaks through ears This was great fun. I've never seen so many people here banding together towards a common goal. It was awesome. Many, many thanks to everyone, your hints were vital for me. I actually feel kinda bad I didn't help much. Can't wait for a second one. Though if this becomes a regular thing, my school and social lives are screwed.

	alligabbi: I'm still stuck way back on the review on Amazon. I just don't know where to go from there. The tags on that page will light your way. Find an article that maybe shouldn't stay. -Tabs<3-

	-CarcharotH-: cobra_ky: Dammit all, now i have to figure out what to put in there! Hint on the answergoeshere-url Is it possible that so many people have overlooked this? Well that explains why I couldn't make that leap. everyone was skipping a couple steps and getting lucky. :(

	Ok, I need some help here with 5:1. Spoiler: Click to View What now??? Can someone plz PM me?

	GrymZero: havass: I don't feel guilty about adding all the hints up to solve the puzzle now, because i've never played that game before. Maybe I should go get it now. And I find it amusing how I've tried entering this game multiple times for yesterday's puzzle. Oh well. Now that's over...I have to start closing all the various tabs that were required for this ONE puzzle. Hint: A little obscure, but if you know what the phrase means..PHA+RGVjYXkgb3ZlciB0aW1lLjwvcD4= I love you so much right now x.x I spent two hours...TWO NARFING HOURS trying to figure out what the last clue meant, but this...this finally made it click in my head. Oh and, side note: My brain is now made of porridge. Kthnxbai. Now, I'm going to go to bed. Wake me up when the world stops being all blurry and painful to look at. HAHAHAHAH. I tried not to make it too obvious, but i'm glad it helped you. We wear these badges proudly, mods!

Come on Mods, part of your precious puzzle is already about to slip into oblivion (or something)! Save it! We all got away too easy!

I don't know actually O.o I guessed the actual final answer from the hints in the forum. I want to figure out where to go from the "site with the black background"

	LinedGoat: Ok, I think I understand a part of 5-1 ... Spoiler: Click to ViewPHA+TnVtYmVycz88L3A+ But I have a hard time understanding what some of the pictures are aiming towards. Edit: Also, who's the actor? Spoiler: Click to View See anything that's similar?

	I have conquered the mountains!

Chapper	1667 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:28
	I am so close, I can feel it. Alas, I don't have the mental fatigue to walk up the staircase to victory.

Ophiuchus	1668 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:28
	Old post retained for context EDIT: figured it out... damn.

Darth IB	1669 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:31
	Yeeees! Finally did it! My brain won't recover from the exhaustion again for another couple of hours, but it was so worth it

Fire Daemon	1670 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:31
	YES! Just got the last one. Making the connection was a bit hard at first, but after thinking about it, what over game could it be? Massive thanks to everyone who worked through these puzzles over the past week, I wouldn't have finished it (especially the last one) if it weren't for some of your hints. I feel kind of bad starting with 48 pages of help, but oh well. Also, the people who put this together should be really proud. You guys did an awesome job making this.

Chronarch	1671 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:34
	Ah, I finally beat day 5. Well the Escapist, great job on the puzzles, though some of them were a bit sadistic. Also thanks to all the people who posted hints as well. I would've never figured some of this stuff out without the hints.

C95J	1672 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:37
	I am no good with puzzles. What do I do?

ThatLankyBastard	1673 POSTED: 17 Dec 2010 14:38
	Jesus... Day 5 has me... Can I haz hint?

	Made it this far, now I'm stuck on the final hurdle. Spoiler: Click to View and I have no idea what to do. The previous ciphers don't seem to work either.

Yeah, I've tried number-> letters and then looking for a cipher, but no luck so far. Yeah, I'm puzzling with those right now too, and I'm stumped. Did anyone actually figure them out, or did everyone guess the game before this step?

Did anyone actually figure them out, or did everyone guess the game before this step? I made it here and then took a guess because I was stumped. Arrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!! Took me AGES! AGES I TELL YOU! A bit of advice: if you're seriously stumped, take a break to clear your mind. When you're somewhat relaxed, come back and look at the problem through another perspective. It helps.

	Yeah, it's dinner soon, and maybe after that I can come back... TO THE MODS: My last exam is tomorrow, and if I fail because I didn't read enough, I'm blaming you!
