Uhm... this is just a game, what are you all troubling about...?
On the FindTheRings website it says that when you win you get a prize in the form of cash, because this is just some made up event, purely for having
fun finding "the rings"...
You can only find the "rings" somewhere on the internet, which means they don't exist for real (Else you may need to travel far far away to find
one, yeah right ... )
So about member "5", he's just screwing around a little bit and he's having fun creating a little chaos among you all
Do you really believe that some "catastophic thing" is going to happen if you got all "virtual" "rings" ...
And if those "rings" would exist, why aren't they founded yet ???
There are clues on the FindTheRings website to get closer to the solution, which means that the one who made up this "hunt" already knows where the
"rings" are (Otherwise you can't give clues...) and if those "rings" are so secretly and also dangerous (Catastrophic...), why would he share?
Maybe he wants you all to find the "rings" so that you can create a catastropic something and not he himself (So you all get dirty hands and he runs
away free

).
You decide what you want to believe...
(Maybe something i pointed out is incorrect, but i think that's because i didn't read everything on this forum...)
