    Unbelievable! You deciphered my 42nd 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: AARG!_GET_TURKEY_BLAST_RELOADED_SAYS_I_MEM_RECOVER_42

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

    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!!

    !!!

    CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN AGAIN STAULCUB!!! :)

    WOW!! DO YOU EVER REST?! :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!!!)

    7. da shiz wiz 19
    8. warcrack
    9. KoOne23

    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!!

    I think I have it figured out, there's two of you arn't there!?!

    Congrats! staulcub....and I feel your pain cloudcastles.

    I wish I could say I missed this one cause of not being able to put Turkey Blast Reloaded down but alas I was sleeping again. Not to say I haven't spent a little time messing with the game. I was actually up at 3 this morning for a bit and then got up again at 6, right after the puzzle was posted, but I didn't realize that until I checked things at 7 and it was already solved by then.

    I agree. There's gotta be more to it. A key that maps images to letters or something like that.

    Well, it's pretty clear that the black dot is the joystick controller, and the black lines are the hover board jet trail. Still trying to figure out what the red circle is trying to indicate. I'm thinking it may be color.

    My thinking exactly. Color seems especially pertinent after looking at the first of the five sets. Finally got a sec to see whats going on here, but probably won't be back for another 3 hours.
