[ANNOUNCEMENT] Win an Nvidia Geforce Titan Black in our in-game Scavenger Hunt

So, there are three likely winners so far, am I right? And we still don't publicly know the name of the station, and people are already calling it quits? More like Elite: Crybabies IMO ;)

wasnt there a confirmation of two sales prior to the three people who found them tonight?
 
Of course, you stand a good chance of being one of the 5 who get happy. What a surprise.

It was a contest. A sort of game. I understand feeling that disappointment that you didn't win the game, but turning on the guys who did win is very poor sportsmanship. We all had a bit of fun chasing our own tails across the known Galaxy looking for a golden ticket. We got our hopes up, slumped our shoulders, then tried again.

Congrats to the winners!
 
Congrats to winners! This contest was nice change to "normal" routines and seemed to inspire some nice theories about the station that had it. "You cannot always win, not even every time" :) Take care, Commanders!
 
Can confirm that Meow was legit. I just wound up in his instance and he gifted me one outside the station for nothing which I docked and sold. Probably too late, but still an amazing gesture.

Guys... For my knowledge... only 3 confirmed ... that reddit guy is definitely fake. Meaning that not he or his friend hadn't find anything. Obviously we can't be sure that other people that do not share their thoughts here, eventually did not find it, even before that these 3 guys (including myself) and just kept their mouth shout.

I FOUND IT TOO! Plus I recorded it as well and boy do I feel dumb.

Hey that was me! I found TShriker's place and it was there. If Anyone wants to find it as well, I'd suggest following that route. It's completely random at 215 ly from Godel Ring.


Yup, the reddit guy was a fake. This is what it looks like.

That makes at least 5 of them...come on guys, let me know how far off or close i have been.
I am at work and can't wait to know.

edit: And of course, Congratulations to you all!
 
Taking as a moot point that it was random: FD seem to have this habit of wanting to do nice things for the community and then somehow plucking defeat from the jaws of victory... could have been so much fun and a truly entertaining challenge, left people feeling bitter because it was left to chance.

I wouldn't be bitter at all if they had said from the start that it was all chance, no skill.

If I found out that someone else cracked the code before me, I'd be kicking myself. But appreciate the winner for the skill.

Now, the winners deserve congratulations for being lucky, but let's not pretend that it was a major accomplishment. It was luck, nothing more, nothing less.
 
Space Texan indicated that his friend Darth got one in too, so that makes six, we'll see who the odd man out is.

And i have to admit that i am quite sad that it is over.
After some argueing with my wife this weekend, I spent a nice evening yesterday with her, trying to solve this riddle.
It was a nice oppotunity to show her the game and for the first time, she saw what i saw.
She got interested and we already planned to continue our search this evening.
So put aside that we can't win the card, it was a pleasant experience and i am thankful for that :)

A similar thing happened between me and my gf three hours ago, but she is one of the most impatient people ever so it didnt last very long haha
 
Crap... If only I wasn't so impatient to leave the comp. and go out exploring lol.

Congratulations to whoever the first 5 people were. Who knows, maybe the actual first 5 people didn't post on the forums or reddit, and everyone here got ninja'd xD
 
Are any of the winners willing to given up the location now? Will you really make us wait until it's announced before we can say "ahhhhh, I checked the next system over!"
 
I'd say there's a very good chance of it too; the news spread like wildfire and there were a lot of people looking. I only just joined to confirm the information, presumably there are others not on the forums at all.

I'm half expecting it to be over by my former "home" systems, just to spite me :)

What this has taught me though is...the game doesn't care where I am. I make no difference whatsoever. My "home" systems won't have missed my presence nor changed in any meaningful way when (if) I get back. I'm as good jumping from system to system as I am "settling down" somewhere.

That's a little disheartening to realise (I knew beforehand, but this jaunt brings it home) but the human part of me (as opposed to the logical side) still wants to have a "home"...is that odd?
 
So then what was the whole point of the Reinhold intellisys nonsense then.. It just makes no sense, really crushed that this was just random..

PLease learn a lesson here FD about what the community wants to see in the future. This was a well conceived competition, executed poorly. So much missed potential.

Guess it's all just speculation until we find out more detail. Can't blame the compo winners for not wanting to reveal anything just in case.
