It takes just one asshole to completely fuck up everything for everyone.
It's like you're having fun racing against legitimate players, playing tetris against legitimate players, etc. And then some FUCKER comes in with cheats, and suddenly everyone loses no matter what. It sucks. As a software programmer, I'm not sure how Nintendo could fix something like this, other than shutting down the companies that make the flash carts, and even then, that won't solve much.  ____________________  |

I haven't sent anything yet, I'm still thinking about the "5 steps". ____________________ |

I capitalize everything, and I use     and .
I also tend to double space too frequently. ____________________ |

Yeah, that step 5 really is an odd ball. I don't know if the Zelda freak part is supposed to be applied or not. ____________________ |

It seems like people might be annoyed that the distribution in the news table is out of date, so let me explain the easiest way to update OpenTTD to the latest nightly.
First, if you don't have any version of OpenTTD at all, you should download the distribution that's in the board header, since that contains the newGRFs we use, and the server is entered into the list already. Next, since we almost always use the newest nightly when we start a game, go here: http://www.openttd.org/nightly.php Download the zip that's for your platform. Extract the zip OVER the folder where your nightly is, and overwrite everything. You now have the latest nightly, and the files required to join the server. If you already have the nightly installed, and you need to upgrade to the latest nightly again, just repeat the above step, extracting the nightly zip over your nightly folder. The nightly zips don't overwrite your cfg file, so your settings and such will remain the same. Ailure most likely won't upgrade the newGRFs. If anything, he'd only update the TTRS, which is available for download here: http://users.skynet.be/florisjan/ttd/ttrs.html ____________________ |

Yeah, even if they solve this AR problem, there's a lot more that can be done, like HH said, hacks and such. It IS a flash cart after all, doesn't mean you can't put unofficial roms on it.
Of course, Nintendo could fix it by doing md5 checks or something. ____________________ |

I got a hint, and when Okibi gives me a hint, he gives everybody a hint. 
Here was my latest response:
To which he replied:
I guess now we've been given a path to follow. ____________________ |

This makes me glad I didn't choose to go to VT.
Today hasn't really been a great day here either because of the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WIND, but yeah, I'd gladly take the 60mph wind over the shootings. ____________________ |

I dislike the game because it feels like too much of a ripoff of YI. They pretty much ripped the graphics straight out of YI, made a few (bad) alterations here and there, threw in a bunch of crappy songs, and worst of all, they screwed around with Yoshi's sprite. Yoshi looks so much uglier now.
Yeah, I got the game for Christmas, played a few levels of it, and then moved on to something else. I'm not out of world 1 yet. ____________________ |

Can we get a two company coop going, so we can have at least a LITTLE competition going?  ____________________ |

I emailed it to him just now.
Sorry if I've been rather inactive with this, I got sick last night.  ____________________ |

Augh, it wasn't the answer! It was a really good guess though.
Anyway, he said he gave someone else from here a hint, so did anyone else other than me get a hint? He might be talking about me. I'm not sure if he knows that my e-mail address is me. Edit: To clear up confusion, I said it was a good guess, Okibi didn't say that. ____________________ |

I've beaten this before, it's nice to be able to finally understand what they're saying.
Also, I found a glitch:  ____________________ |

I understand how there could be concerns about this, but I really don't think we have anything to worry about. The only thing that poses a threat is the deadline, which is becoming sooner and sooner the longer we wait. ____________________ |

Posted by okibi zeldafreak knows more than he tells was and is important Also, I thought gzila was going to post this, but I guess I'll do it.
So I asked why he thinks it was a "type the answer in the url" solution, and he said:
Edit: No matter what conclusion I come to, I can't figure out how step 4 (zelda and "I am Error") fits as a hint. I was thinking step 1's hint was the "all you need to do is answer one single question" thing. I don't know if it relates to the triforce's location. I thought step 5's hint was that everyone got mislead, but apparently step 5's hint is the zeldafreak thing. step 3's hint might be "it's a fake", but it also might be "hidden in the symbol". I'm not exactly sure what step 2 was. Was it unzipping the rom? Either way, I have no clue what hint possibly could be there, unless there was a message hidden in the rom? and again, step 4, I really don't know what the hint here is. Maybe it's that you need to email okibi. And yesterday I was thinking that maybe there was another answer to "where is the triforce located", and I said it was located within Link, Zelda, and Gannon, but it was a wrong answer. Anyway, I'm not sure what he wants, but hopefully we can do it without hints, seeing as now he's refusing to give us any more. ____________________ |

I asked too, and got the lengthy response too.
The RO-Line doesn't sound like something I'd ever use. I mean, I like oldschool gaming, but I don't use the actual systems anymore. Emulation is more convenient for me. The RO-Line would also cover hosting costs, if you're being hosted on the site, but I already have hosting, thanks to Jesper.
So yeah, even if I signed up to this, I probably wouldn't use it much... if anything, it'd just decrease all of the other members' profits, so I declined to it. I kinda felt bad for declining, so I told him that I'd understand if he didn't want to give me the hint because I declined. However, if he does give me the hint, I'll post it here, pronto! Edit: Dammit! You edited your post right when I posted mine! 
Either way, at least Okibi's being honest about him advertising.
So anyway, this is pretty much what I suspected... "To win the grand prize, all you have to do is answer one single question..." So what is the one single question? "My question for you is... where is the Triforce located?" Is that it? The answer he wants can't be The Golden Land, can it? We already tried that answer, and it only just gave us another hint. ...unless we just answered it wrong? Also, I wish I knew how Zeldafreak ties into all of this. Ok, I just now got my reply, and mine says: "What Step are you on? Wrong. You are on Step 2." But mine might be step 2 because I usually referred to step 1 and step 2 as the same step. ____________________ |

I just did, here's the response:
"Haven't we already established that by entering that into the archive for a password?" So that's not the right answer. So what is the question we possibly could be answering? The 5 steps are 5 hints. What are the hints? Because the zeldafreak thing in step 5 actually is important, the hints can't be the answers we gave. Where is the triforce located? Where did the triforce come from? What do these things mean? Zelda freak knows more than he tells. ____________________ |

While you're at it, you'd might as well add a tile editor too. ____________________ |
