New style ISIS keys

[Toxophilite]

I've just received the key for a Signature ISIS that I purchased a couple of weeks ago and it is completely different to my original ISIS key that was received late 2007:



Original key on the left, new key on the right. I remember reading of a problem with the Cornwall pyramid being withdrawn for fitting of a new lock. I'm no locksmith but these keys appear totally incompatible so which one actually fits the pyramids ?

Also I understood the keys to be an integral part of ISIS V, so how is that going to work if there are two versions in circulation ?

errrrrrrr........ What the hell

Could it be a special one becauseits a signature isis ???

Actually lets ask the all knowing KAREN !!!!!! whats going on mate !!!!!

That new one opens any virtual pyramid, no problem.
You will have to use the original one to open a real pyramid though.

Good thing is the new one actually looks like a key 'as we know it'.

So the key that doesn't look like a key, but is a key must be in short supply so that people who already have them are now sent the key that looks like a key but isn't a key.

Then the procedure for a second gold coin attempt on a real pyramid would be to give the 10 digit number on the key that looks like a key to the keeper, phone through the password, then use the key that is a key to open it.

It gets more complicated as time goes on.

You will need both at one stage or another

I think I'll take a jemmy aswell, just to be on the safe side

They always were in short supply (remember monkey_stainz record wait?) because they are produced/engraved only after an Isis is formally reported open. Maybe the new key can be produced cheaper and/or faster?

... to give the 10 digit number on the key that looks like a key to the keeper...

Does your key that looks like a key actually have its number engraved? It looks too small to have it.

Yes it does have a ten digit number that I have concealed by the cunning technique of turning it upsidedown

[matt_p_dales]

I just like the fact that you are going to need both keys at one stage or another through out the adventure

I see that Lou has two of the original keys :



So how come I've been short changed ?

I've just heard from Puzz

Hi Karen,

The new key will not fit all existing pyramids, but that’s not a problem as I confirm all passwords for live pyramids in real time, and if someone does get a pyramid password correct then I will freeze the pyramid and send the pyramid keeper a key that fits that pyramid. This will allow either the person to return to the location, or for the pyramid keeper to open for them if they don’t want a return trip. Unfortunately we were unable to get the old keys, so that’s why a new one was introduced. Both old and new key however will fit isis V. The new key lock will also have a combination key code for those that hold the old key. Proof of old key would be required before key code was provided of course.

It's a little more complicated than it could be, but it will all work in the end.

Thanks for sorting that out Karen.

So its both keys, a jemmy, and a sawn off shotgun if the keeper still doesn't get the message.

.... Both old and new key however will fit isis V.

ISIS V is going to look like a flash card reader

I have a question, If they can not get the keys anymore does that mean the the Copernisis and ISIS IV will not have keys in them !!!!!!
