ARG Puzzle with 3.5 BTC Private Key Prize, Game Over

[S4VV4S]

EDIT: I also wonder how comes we had so many new accounts all with clues.......
Could probably be wrong, but wtf?

I noticed a lot of new users just repeating stuff others had already said, but I assumed they were just trying to weasel into any shared bounty, if the winner was being generous.

You are probably right....

The server just closed... It told us that our time was up.
EDIT: NVM. It's open again. I guess that was a restart.

[S4VV4S]

The server closed...

So who has the next clue? Or solve of the puzzle?

Just check after the restart, if anything changed?

Mby someone did destroy a vital block and it was restored?

Or does it not work that way.

The settings don't seem to allow anyone to make any changes to the map

and also

The server resets every hour. lolololol OP is evvvvviiilllll

[mirth23]

So now I and others have to depend on those who actually play MC?

OP: Sorry but you lost it. ARGs are about knowledge, mostly.
Not having to play another game to continue yours.....
Disappointed at you girl......

EDIT: I know you are reading this Alice, so, ARGs are also about freely available info, so long as you know or know how to search for them.
Once again, disappointed at you.

Maybe I feel differently because I know and like MC and bought it a long time ago when it was cheap, but I think it's cool that we're had some of the interesting jumps that we've had. I've also played ARGs that require small amounts of money to play, or at least to get past certain steps.

My one concern about MC is that the server is deformable and I showed up late to the party, so I have no idea what the world looked like in its original state.

edit: and that concern is apparently not a real concern due to the regular server reset! heh.

There are NSFW pics on here, so just a note. lol

Ups that was not my intention, i apologise, edited...

[Kprawn]

Update 6/28:

Do not rely solely on Users for solves, double check solves for user errors: #checkuser404

Lots of clues of as today, but no way to verify... pitty.....

thanks to MC

I wonder if it was the OP that paid the bounty or the creator of MC.......

EDIT: I also wonder how comes we had so many new accounts all with clues.......
Could probably be wrong, but wtf?

I posted this on another forum, and linked it to this thread, so there might be some of those people, who came to help.

I also emailed some of my friends, and I think they joined, will ask them tomorrow.

micaman : Np Man, they got to grow up, some time

Just because you and many other people like MC doesn't change the fact that this is not ARG anymore IMO.
Like I said ARGs are based on FREELY available information.
BTW, you seem to have just joined when the game started and actually provided a lot of valuable clues....
Thank you for that

[Mitchell]

A map maybe?

[shorena]

more QR code!

Status: 4/4 of the QR code



and 180°



1st part just for reference



If I find more I will edit this post to make it easier.

A map maybe?

MC hints:

MC Hint:

Falling through the rabbit hole,
the end is surely nigh.
I turn to take a final glance,
a distant fading sky.



IMHO we will find the final answer "in the end"


Here is the album of the black and white version:

It helps to be an expert in QR.. I figured out the size, mask and error correction level......



Decoded ....

Dude, don't be so butt hurt. I'm sure this is just a piece of the puzzle. Chillax, bro. http://www.unfiction.com/compendium/2006/11/10/undefining-arg/

I think the small pic is a map of the minecraft server itself, showing which quadrants the four QR clues are in.

So, what about: Having to play another game to continue another makes me butt hurt to you?
Have you ever played ARGs before?

[raganius]
