i did that too

Fantastic game one and all.

I'm overwhelmingly impressed with the quality of collaboration and intelligence here on ATS. We worked hard to try and build a game that was simple to play, but also had a high difficulty level.

A tenacious and resourceful ATS member, sillinous1, deciphered the final puzzle to find the confirmation page and enter the answer to The Final Answer To Everything, which is:


listen

And he received this message:

You have satisfied the gauntlet of questions, kept your wits, and had the understanding to consider the 40th answer.

Indeed, we all must learn how to listen, as it is the final answer to everything that plagues the human condition on this planet.

Your reward, is the domain, thefinalanswertoeverything.com

If all has gone well, it is now a very popular domain name with hundreds of websites linking to it, and thousands of people aware of its unusual beginnings.

Use it for the greater good, or for profit. It doesn't matter which, for you are now, the one worthy.

Great job sillinous1, and great job ATS.


I know there are lots of questions about this game, and how it went. So we'll open a new thread a bit latter to have a Q & A session, as well as some hints about the next game.


Thank you all for a very enjoyable event here on ATS.

UBERAWESOME!...for me, it's all about the journey, not the destination, and what a wild ride this has been!!

Many congrats to sillinous1!!!

Any suggestions on what to do with it? This feels like a puzzle in itself lol.

I always thought about getting a domain, but now that one is right here, I don't know what to use it for! lol

Just a stats update on the site:
Yesterday, it had just over 12,000 unique users and nearly 200,000 page views.
There are over 200 websites with links to the domain, which makes it a very valuable domain with search engines.

If I can I will try to include you guys being you all helped.

Thanks for the GREAT game, ATS!!

Congratulations go out to all that have reached the last page, and especially to sillinous1 for the victory. Well Done!

It was fun, and I enjoyed every minute of the time I spent on it.

Thanks to all the participants here, you all did a great job!

Now, at last, we can get our lives back to normal, whatever that means.



Can't wait for the next one!

hi everybody
so i leave you 2 hours and you finish the game
congratulation sillicious1!!!!!
please tell me what happened after the question; it is to humans... ?
what were the answers???

I like the sound of this Q & A. Sounds fun to me, I look forward to it.


Hooray for finally being able to have a life again!. Oh, how I missed sleeping, and eating.

Yes. Great game. Before this game, I would visit this site once a month - if that - in hopes of finding some cool leaked alien documents in RATS.

I'll probably be a LOT more regular now because of the sense of community I felt within this thread alone.


Great game guys, congrats sill, and looking forward to the next one!

Grats sillinous1...

So obvious....but my head was spinning.

Speaking of spinning, didn't SO say there's going to be ANOTHER game????

What to do with it is up to you, if you need help in how to start a site or design or ideas, just post on ATS, as the users have shown on this board, they are creative, smart and always asking questions themselves.

I personally would keep it if I had won it (and I'm even in a bind financially). It's kind of like a token of the work you put in on this thread.

I think it would be cool to be some sort of game site or something a bit lighter than ATS or iDenied.

Take your time with it

Congrats sillinous1!! Well done. I wish you luck with your new site and look forward to see what you do with it.
