Win a copy of Lost: Via Domus
Note: The competition is now closed!
A little bored with Lost not being on your screens? Want something other than the ARG to satisfy your Lost addiction? Well, why not play Lost: Via Domus - the official Lost game! Explore the Island as Elliott Maslow, a survivor suffering from memory loss after the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Along the way, interact with all your favorite characters, including the Others. Uncover your past, and try and figure out how to get home!
We're offering one user a free copy of Lost: Via Domus for PC. Note you'll need a relatively new computer to run the game (check all the tech requirements here). As for legal mumbo jumbo - the winner will get a copy sent to them anywhere in the world, but whether I do priority mail or normal mail will depend how much it costs :) I also can't be held responsible if the prize suddenly gets lost itself in transit. All rights reserved, you agree that upon entering you relinquish rights to sue, I will protect any personal info given to me, yada yada, blah de blah.
Anyway if you would like to enter the competition, read the riddle below and tell me which Lost character I'm talking about. It should be relatively easy, but if you have trouble, I'm sure you'll be able to get some help in the Forum, IRC Chat or in the blog comments section. The competition will close on the 28th (a week from today) at midnight BST time. To enter, email the answer to nickb123ATlostpediaDOTcom, along with your online name, email address in the message (I know it says at the top, but it just makes it easier for me) and a rough idea of where you are (e.g. Spain). I won't be replying to messages to tell you you're right, but I think when you have the answer, you'll know its correct. I'll announce the winner next Friday. Good luck! Here's the riddle:
You'll find me in the middle of the night, but also just as the dawn ends
Curious, isn't it, that I appear during both, twice, though I guess it really all kind of depends
Because, to be honest with you, I am actually a little bit two-faced, I lie
Though on the surface of things, I'm sure you think I'm a nice normal guy
Deceitful is my middle name though, my last being pure success
I work in silence, survey you closely, and take glee in your distress
You honestly have no idea, that I am always in decided watch
The skill in my trickery, I'm sure you'd agree, is certainly quite top-notch!
Really all you need now is one more clue, a mark, a symbol, a sign
Figure out who I am, quickly now, before that prize of yours is mine
Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Like Trackman71, I'm gonna ignore 95% of the clues and say it's the letter "N".
Please send me my 5% of the game immediately!

"line"
hmm, the word 'guy' is throwing me, since the term refers exclusively to human beings, which means the subject must be a human. otherwise the 'riddle' is just flawed.hmm...
Well he said in the rules: tell me which Lost character I'm talking about.
Crying out loud. Trust me not to read the part about it being a character.
Yes Dee I was a little confused to see the answer "12" in your email
Is anyone else as confused as I am? I think I'm pretty knowledgeable about the series, and I have a few ideas--but much of this riddle seems ambiguous and some of it seems like it may be red herrings.
Clearly it's Ben Linus
Not so much.
YEP, ITS BEN.
It's Locke.
tbi already have Lost Game... i think everybody have the game... but i think is...
My answer is Sawyer...I think...
I would haev the venture that it is Jacob
I'm thinking that it's the torches they carry. I'm probably wrong.
Nick,
are there going to be hints for the puzzles in your mini-ARG-clues-game??
and i think u should define some rules: for example,
only answers which include the explanation of the steps needed to get to the answers will be valid (not a random guess)
only answers sent to your mail will be valid
i think that the users who sent more than 1-2 mails should be disqualified (this is also to prevent random guessing) or in your words: "when you have the answer, you'll know its correct"
i don't think i'm gonna solve this one without any hints, but i am looking forward to solving your other riddles (+ i have a copy of Lost:Via Domus, but my video card doesn't support it)
Steff - only one person has answered correctly, and its made me feel a little weird about giving hints - as that one guy was very good to have solved the clues and worked it out, and so a part of me feels like its unfair on him. However, I will give more clues, and what I might do is give that one person who got it through no clues at all a little extra something (if he doesn't win the prize draw anyway)
ok, if someone has solved it, then i'm ok with no clues for this one
Darn, I think I sent my entry in too soon (I went with my first guess) Oh well. Here's to hoping it's right.
it probly ben... i think
Its Alex
Nice riddle
It's Ana Lucia Cortez.
i think its either charles widmore or ethan rom
I believe that it is Jacob.
So where will the clues be posted? Here on the comments section or in another blog post? I'm all for some clues please! And definitely an explanation once the competition has finished!
On another note, does anyone want to explain to me how to 'recruit' people to the DharmaWantsYou ARG? I want to get some Dharma points and know how well my group is doing!
Cheers, and happy ARG-ing! (no monaing!)
Well, umm... so... I have no idea... so where are the clues?
OK - how about, that its a HE.
And that he is very to the point.
How many people answered correctly?
Is my answer correct? i sent my answer via email.
No, sorry Pawel.
I'll give one last clue... that this guy always makes a case, and is sharper than a Swiss army knife.
I think i know the answer now but can i send to you another email?
Go for it.
Now, Is my answer correct?
Yup
:) Great, I have one more question: how many people answered correct so far?
I've been constantly going back and forth...was my answer right?
Er Darkknight I don't think you did no. I've had so many, so I've just been deleting incorrect responses. I also checked my trash but there's literally loads to look through (couldn't see a sender darkknight). What other names are you known by?
It was from the email alxfdrmn
Nick....what's the answer???
The answer is Goodwin, be sure to check http://blog.lostpedia.com and you will see the latest post where I explain the answer and announce the winner.
OH....didn't know I had to go there obviously....I never posted here before...thx :)
