ranbrant: In time, the GOG team will tease us with tantalizing tidbits to torment us.

That's what we really love dear fans and customers:) But to be honest, this is just few days, is it such a big pain?:) We have ideas for definitely more painful actions in future;)
Some of you guys were damn close or even had a right guesses. So the answer is within;) The answer is (as usual) not the easiest and definitely not the most obvious, though.
But hints were given. And this is gonna be the biggest announcement ever in the GOG history (maybe except the opening of the site itself but this is different category;).
This will narrow speculations I think;)
And soon, enjoy!:)

PS. Have you noticed small change on the main page, now the importance is more underlined;)

AlexY: Hmmm?
*meticulously browses page*
Well, I never noticed Our Thanks down in the bottom. (That's awesome, by the way. :3)
The copyright has changed to 2010. Does that mean something?
Other than that, I don't see anything else...
I'm so excited. :3

Come on that was the most visible part of the website:)
Here I can tell you more. Main spot with counter changed a bit.
Regarding main mystery I cannot tell you more. I gave some hints without consultation with the rest of the team. So better I tell you less than too much, otherwise I might spoil the masterplan;) Just read carefully and GL with guesses:)

Miaghstir: The top banner no longer switches between 5 different images, but stays as the counter?

Indeed. You guys rock. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't spot such a detail by myself.
Ok, I'm changing into silent observer;) We'll see.

Vestin: If unexcelled IS a clue, then it truly is Zork. That would be... a bit underwhelming, though highly amusing.
Other than that - we know it isn't obvious, so no SS2, P:T or EA...
LucasArts or Sierra ? Possibly...
Would be damn impressive to finally get our hands on the Monkey Island series, now, wouldn't it ?
The problem is - most highly impressive things are also the most predicted and thus - moot.
What was the most awesome and understressed thing we have come up with on these 18 pages ?

:-)
..The counter I mentioned just BTW (but rest not - read carefully;)
:-)
I couldn't be more precise, cause the answer would be too obvious. I thought that after my post it would be anyway. So I'm happy that it is not;)
On Monday, I believe, that there will be some bits and pieces;)
avatar
whatsupwiththat: All the games and publishes mentioned that according to the clue 'one of them is correct'.

:-)

Delixe: If it makes you feel any better this is Mikee right now.

good one :-D
..The funniest thing is that we didn't plan so deep in details to make it such a mind blowing mystery. Maybe next time we should really design adventure like quests and puzzles;-) That would be fun!:-) ..yeah we definitely should do it:-) and give some prizes for those who discover the truth.. next time;-)

Navagon: Well, we know the second or third announcement will be a publisher deal and a huge one. That is, apparently, fact.
And it's already been stated that this announcement won't be in the same category as the creation of GOG. So that rules out site updates/coming out of beta/some new service being offered through GOG.
avatar
DrIstvaan: So, it steers the chances to no.1, then? Interesting...

:-)

Mikee: :-)

DrIstvaan: Hey Mikee, I've got an idea (totally irrelevant to the guessing session).
Could someone of the staff (with the knowledge+authority to do so) make it so that the counter's background becomes clickable and clicking on it brings the user here, to this thread?
Just a thought...

Just passed it to our Master Chief Designer - Destro. Final decision is in his hands.
btw: You guys think that I only make fun out of you. True is that I've some fun:-) but mainly I try to help. Thing is that I cannot cross this thin red line after which tomorrow may be not so funny day for me in the office;-)

..and I also think that giving totally wrong clues without logical reason is not fair, who would like to play game like this?;-) Everything has to be somehow logical and a part of the bigger mystery, that is fun, especially when mystery is revealed and you can see that everything fits together. That is how I think this kind of stuff should be made;-)
..ok I shut up:-) and anyway everything will be revealed so soon:-)

Delixe: I really wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure we are now far further from the truth than we were when you first commented. ;)

hmmm...no:-) I think that in general it is getting warmer, and warmer:-)
not always of course, but few times was reallly hot:-)
I wonder how far will you go..hmmm..can you guys narrow a bit speculations taking into account what was said so far?:-)
Tommorow I'll disscuss with team how much further we can go with clues;-)

Arteveld: From the FaceBook:
"GOG.com - DRM-free classic PC games. Cheap. More clues! Where history overlaps with the present time."
avatar
gbarules2999: Yes. They posted it twice, but I see no difference between the two posts.
post one: More clues! Where history overlaps with the present time.

post two: Need more clues? Here's one: Where history overlaps with the present time.

We've double posted the clue with Tom, sorry ;)

Cook: We've double posted the clue with Tom, sorry ;)

Arteveld: Thank GOG it was a mistake!:D
The last thing now, after the "trinity" theory is one about "duality". ;>

But can you be sure that the mistake was unintentional? :)
You guys are going to kill us when we announce that this whole thing was all about our sponsorship of a Farmville item. :D Oh, and GOG-branded socks.
Hi All,
I wasn't here for a while (busy a lot with other stuff) I'll go through this "small" topic and give you some more feedback. The final hour is close;)
Oki,
Guys I spoke with Cook, and for some of you, we'll have some small gifts. We didn't plan it, but we really appreciate your efforts with guesing and we would like to reward you for that.
So, some of you guys can feel a bit lucky right now, I mean: cogadh, tacitus59, El_Caz, antifood:)
Please expect anytime soon (whis week) message from Cook.
There could be some more lucky users. Cook will go through this topic more carefully and look for more. The algorythm of choosing winners is a part of the whole mystery;)
Now, What do you think is the final conclusion? :-)))
