Well, I was almost late with this one, but to my credit, it is still technically Saturday in the states! Anyway, did a little bit of a hunt for you guys to find this one (it should actually be a quick one, but I’ve been wrong before). I wouldn’t say that it’s hard, but you might have to do some thinking on this one. First clue:
“I want to keep things private.”
Clue 2: “There should be a policy against that.”
Clue 3: “That was the highlight of my day.”
Clue 4: “I’ve been searching for that video he uploaded.”
Sorry, a little too late! The answer was sparrow.

Hmm
#2 by The_Nmac on February 5th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
Something tells me we may need another hint.
#3 by SubMonkey on February 5th, 2012 [ 475 Points ]
Agreed The_Nmac. Agreed.
#4 by Ceidz on February 5th, 2012 [ 15287 Points ]
+1 on a new hint ! That is a hard one !
#5 by ZFM12 on February 5th, 2012 [ 1455 Points ]
I have yet to guess a FPS >.<
#6 by Isli on February 5th, 2012 [ 32985 Points ]
I think that perhaps something is missing in this due to site issues Jay.
#7 by The_Nmac on February 5th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
I’m close. Something is not making sense though or I need another hint.
#8 by SubMonkey on February 5th, 2012 [ 475 Points ]
I just keep thinking that the answer is something that we would never think of. Another hint would most likely help.
#9 by premiersoupir on February 5th, 2012 [ 16490 Points ]
hrm…I found what I thought to be a code word… but… I’m not sure what to do with it now!
#10 by The_Nmac on February 5th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
I’m at that point too.
#11 by Jay on February 5th, 2012 [ 83046 Points ]
lol, the new clue probably won’t help you, then, but maybe the 4th will give it away to you guys
#12 by The_Nmac on February 5th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
does that mean clue 4 will be on the way soon?
#13 by Isli on February 5th, 2012 [ 32985 Points ]
Apparently I’m the only one that can’t access the page the first clue is even on >.>
#14 by The_Nmac on February 5th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
Turns out I’m good. No need for clue 4. Finally with this and superbowl points I have crossed the 5K. Here comes 10K next.
#15 by kennygk on February 5th, 2012 [ 13140 Points ]
Hmm almost 100% positive I found the answer, but its not working for some reason when I try it..
#16 by dragon290513 on February 5th, 2012 [ 7218 Points ]
i got nothing other than the fact that the old clue or “answer” is still there
#17 by wolfkin on February 6th, 2012 [ 10493 Points ]
i need like a wheel of fortune hint.. is it a game? or just a word that’s gaming related? is it not gaming related? unfortunately I’ll be in class till 6. I’ll try to actually research everything I know about Jay when I get out then.
#18 by oly1kenobi on February 6th, 2012 [ 130828 Points ]

#19 by pedrolabate on February 6th, 2012 [ 39949 Points ]
Jay, you should be a detective, this was not easy in any way.
#20 by Isli on February 6th, 2012 [ 32985 Points ]
Only easy because you made it and you’re the editor here :p
#21 by UniFork on February 6th, 2012 [ 2610 Points ]
Ice-cold FPS this week, Jay. Ice-cold.
#22 by oly1kenobi on February 6th, 2012 [ 130828 Points ]
lol shoot guess my chat hint gave it away lol
#23 by Isli on February 6th, 2012 [ 32985 Points ]
Jay’s meds are making him sadistic and evil I think.
#24 by Isli on February 6th, 2012 [ 32985 Points ]
OR, his beard has finally taken over his brain, and his beard is secretly evil.
#25 by pedrolabate on February 6th, 2012 [ 39949 Points ]
Isli was going to get his 150 points by commenting 30 times on this post.
#26 by The_Nmac on February 6th, 2012 [ 20393 Points ]
I liked it bit of a mystery. A good challenge.
#27 by premiersoupir on February 6th, 2012 [ 16490 Points ]
whoa, tough stuff. needed that fourth clue to figure out what to do with the crazy code. the protocological format of the code never would have occurred to me. apparently it was meaningful to the five people ahead of me, though. good job, cats!
#28 by T0SH on February 6th, 2012 [ 796 Points ]
That was a tuff one. Good work Jay.
#29 by dragon290513 on February 6th, 2012 [ 7218 Points ]
damn it!
#30 by EdEN on February 7th, 2012 [ 107333 Points ]
Still drawing a blank. Can I have some of Jay’s meds so I can be on the same wavelenght? Hahaha.
#31 by dragon290513 on February 7th, 2012 [ 7218 Points ]
^seconded
#32 by oly1kenobi on February 7th, 2012 [ 130828 Points ]
EDEN! you should have this easy…
I seriously got it with 5mins, but it’s because I post a lot of clue 4
Pedro “Isli was going to get his 150 points by commenting 30 times on this post.”
LMAO
#33 by Jay on February 7th, 2012 [ 83046 Points ]
Clues 1 and 2: Go to the Privacy Policy link at the bottom of the page.
Clue 3: Highlight the Privacy Policy. You’ll see this at the end: UgNeq9V1BmM
Clue 4: Go to YouTube and find a video. Change the v=(with a series of letters and numbers) and replace that with the above to get to the video I uploaded (which isn’t listed) with the secret word.
The secret word is “Sparrow”. First come first serve with the last 3 entries!
#34 by wolfkin on February 7th, 2012 [ 10493 Points ]
yeah I’m smart… but not really. :sadface:

#40 by kennygk on February 12th, 2012 [ 13140 Points ]
