Guys, I'm only seeing a place to put the solution, but no challenge. Roz isn't even seeing that! It's like it was before we got 6 people in for her! It's very weird. You don't think we have to work together in some way to do this do you?

It won't show for me either now. I think Ferdinand was right about the XYXXXY being X box buttons. Emma's could be right about it having to do with Splinter cell. X's were blue, Y's were yellow.

I don't think so... Sketchqueen was 3rd so that blows that theory out... any more ideas?
Where's it show you the challenge? Is it a new screen or is it in the middle of the status screen? Can you post a screenshot?

OK - Jo what about loading up your x-brick without a game in it and just typing in those numbers... I doubt it will reveal anything but it's worth a shot. I can't see the challenge it just says get more members when I sign in - so we do need more - for everyone who signs up we get more points  |

I have no idea about X box games but I am trying to join to boost your numbers. But all I keep getting is type the correct number. I am putting the number it is giving me. Is there another number?

OK I've done some searching and discovered the answer is "Izuna Drop" - it's a special move from the game Ninja Gaiden. I googled xyxxxy and after looking thorugh enough results I saw enough of the same phrase to think that might be something to do with it!

In the first screen this takes you to you have to type in "play", then you move to another page, it says "join colony" click there and then type in our number
Right, well done Mark, onto the next challenge tomorrow. It looks like someone on our team will be able to see the challenge (in this case Dawn/ MorningAngel) whilst someone else is able to input the answer (in this case Mark).
I hope the puzzles get a bit more brain taxing and not old game knowledge based (but I am hearing that they do!)

OK I found some info: coring and game play Although so far little is known about the game, and there is no official objective, players have been encouraged to create teams, or colonies, and gain points. According to the website, ourcolony.net, the game is being run by Gamem8ker who posts challenges and awards points for accomplishing goals. A colony cannot begin to play the game until it has at least 5 members. Points can be gained through solving puzzles, called challenges and submitting photographs of the ourcolony symbol ( http://www.ourcolony.net/images/holding/ant.jpg) in real world places, similar to these ( http://www.ourcolony.net/gallery/). Players are also encouraged to make the game "their own" by submitting challenges, and bonus points will be earned if a submitted challenge is used. Colonies also gain bonus points for being the first colony to answer a challenge and for each nation that is represented by colony members. Official rules ( http://www.ourcolony.net/rules) of the game * Grow your colony and work together * Answer right and answer first * This is global, get people around the world in your colony * Make it your game * Show our symbol and shares |

Rod Stewart, Rod Steiger?
Or is it an anagram?

The game has an entry in WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OurcolonyYou can see some of the past questions and answers there and get the idea of the sort of things they ask! |
