Well, Flipa posted it in another irc Channel to us, who found it at Unfiction. So, we need to find out how the guys at Unfiction found out.

I'm stealing this from CI, but it looks pretty legit.
Snypr did NOT get 96 keys. Unfiction beat us to it. They had a guy in Seattle go to the spot and saw the Server 5 video on a billboard (or whatever you call those big tv things) with the BPC address in it. He took out his phone called his friends they posted it on unfiction and the key maddness began.
Eh kinda.

A guy in Seattle got the key at blockbuster, the projector they had set up was broken and the guy just said the link to the site to get the keyes, he then called his good friend and then called me, I was #3

BTW seattle has no big billboard screens other than on the stadiums and at the exhibition hall.

Yup all we just got lost in the fury of madness and selfishness.

HERE IS A SUMMARY OF TONIGHT'S EVENTS IN #HALO

*Siege88 goes to the NY location, but finds nothing (Coords are later updated and he apparant had bad coords)
*eccramer goes to the seattle location and sees what is now the server 5 video playing on a projector, but with the server 5 BPC key url on it
*eccramer calls Giga, he gets him and eccramer keys and then posts the url in #halo
*Key mania
*The end

Meh, boo. Everyone will forget abotu the swag when Halo 3 comes out. There's a veritable treasure trove of new speculation to be had over these servers, and they whine about not getting their XXL t-shirt. Sure, it's fun to say you were part of unlocking the server, but free stuff is a less-than-stellar viewpoint of this ARG's benefits.

I was half asleep, but grabbed the url immediately. When the BPC page came up I stupidly clicked on the mp3 download link instead of grabbing the key- the 5 or 10 seconds that took excluded me from the 100. lol! Good game guys... but the irc channel was out of control last night. I've never really gone in there, but man, there was a ton of spam- "go dark" meant pretty much nothing. :(
