For those that don't know...

After the 12 and final shutdown key was found, plans were made over the weekend to enter them all 'at the same time' to trigger the shutdown sequence. When the 12th key was finally entered, an email was sent out saying that we had triggered the final lock for Chain Factor.

From that point, a countdown for one week went up, along with the cumulative scores from the Power and Survival games. The Error Codes around 121 show that there will be different outcomes depending on what which mode wins. Right now, Power is winning by a large margin, so it appears that we're on our way to destroy the world economy - that is if you believe the email that was sent out when we triggered the whole thing, and that Frank didn't set up some other safeguard against it. We'll find out in a couple of days Very Happy

Why did you guys have to trigger the shutdown? I am hard core addicted to the game! I hope the flash game will still be available after tomorrow.... Wink

I am contributing to the Power score, because I like playing with sift, thrive, and tilt. What are other good combinations?

I like tilt / thrive / promote -- it may not help with my score much (I rarely break 200k) but it makes for a fun game.

Considering the investment CBS Interactive put in this game (with the media buys if nothing else) I'd assume they'll leave the game online even after the countdown runs out. Especially if we succeed in helping spectre destroy the world's economy Cool

If you check out the High Scores tab in the game, you can see which powers everybody used to get their scores.

Frank at area/code still reads the Chain Factor forums and answers questions. I liked his response this week and just wanted to share it here:

TV alert! Tonight CBS is repeating the episode of Numb3rs which featured Primacy and led us to Chain Factor. (10pm, check your local listings)

Next week, Chain Factor is showing up on the NYU Class on ARGs discussion list (along with Lawn Games for Life). I'm looking forward to reading their responses to it on the class blog.
