    Unbelievable! You deciphered my 38th encrypted data packet!

    Thank you - you deserve a reward!

    To claim your prize, you need to be the first person to post the following to the official Hover World Alternate Reality Game thread at TouchArcade.com:

    1. Password: EZONECRAZYSNOWBOARDHDLITE_MEM_RECOVER_38

    2. Precise details of how you found this page (be sure to mention this URL "iphone.ezone.com/mission4")!

    3. At this point you have a choice:

    You can claim which Ezone.com app you would like as a prize, and earn SOME eligibilty points - which go towards your chance of winning the grand prize (A really cool hovering Parrot A.R.Drone).

    or

    You can forfeit the Ezone.com app prize, and earn EVEN MORE eligibility points towards your chance of winning the grand prize.

    or

    You can be really nice and selfless, and forfeit the Ezone.com app prize AND nominate another Hover World Alternate Reality Game thread member to have their eligibility points increased SOME (this in turn will earn you EVEN MORE MORE eligibility points!) Good karma and all that! :) PLEASE NOTE: Once YOU nominate someone - YOU can't nominate them again for the duration of the contest... Unless you've nominated everyone once already! :)

    Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, someone else may be posting the winning entry right now!!

    I nominate cloudcastles as I believe that he is the only one in the top ten that I haven't nominated already.

    Heeee's Back! Congrats staulcub!

    My iphone dinged about 5:40 this morning, but I didn't check it to see if it was a message from garbot, I figured I was going to be getting up in a little bit anyway. I crashed hard after that and missed the contest totally.

    Well its off to vote and then to work.

    Rank update!

    Congrats again staulcub!! :D:eek:



    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering, who was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row, who has spoon-fed the answer to other players, who has been spoon-fed the answer by other players, who has raced in at the last second and used the answer that someone had just provided without realising that they had just provided it, who has waited for everyone to go to sleep in order to solve the puzzles…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    4. jwcasser & cjsbug
    5. cloudcastles
    6. da shiz wiz 19
    7. Daldaris
    8. warcrack
    9. KoOne23
    10.speed4mee

    Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there!

    If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)!

    Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread!

    Good luck everyone!

    Be on the look out for more puzzles!! :D

    I'm kinda guessing it is, but not much is coming to mind to solve it, atleast of the things I've tried nothing has given any results. Its kinda tough when your not sure it is a puzzle or just a long reboot process.

    Perhaps it has to do with the number of stars

    I'm going to feel really foolish if it turns out this isn't a puzzle at all but only garbots way of resting.

    Not sure what this is worth, but there is an ezone app "Crazy Zapper" that references shock therapy and powering down.

    But then again pajo could be right about garbot1 resting :D
