No your not giving up your chance, your only improving it more that you would be guaranteed to have a puzzle during the release date and get them before everyone else.


it says that the award zone won't be open until general release. This is fair, as Cornett so elequently said, this is an opportunity for real fans and supporters of the adventure. If it gave everyone a massive advantage over normal buyers, and those that coudn't afford to buy in, then Puzz could potentially see a diminishing market, and I don't think that is the spirit or intent behind the offer. Having your puzzle early & opening it are very different to solving Puzz's end games !!

Deep breath, Steve. Deep breath. :D

Does everyone want a better adventure for the masses? Yes.
Does everyone want great puzzles on the first go? For Sure!
Is the 500 Club a unique way to help out with this? Absolutely!
If I am the first person to figure out the ISIS V (HA!) and find the reward (DOUBLE HA HA!), do you think I'm gonna claim it? You bet your sweet @$$!
Is that going to happen? No. Never. Nada. Zilch chance-o-rooney.
Do I see 500 Club as being a way to invest in SW and the adventure... Yes sir, Yes sir I do.

I don't think anyone is looking for an edge.. or thinking 500 Club is going to push them closer to the rewards.
It's for puzzle lovers and frankly, I'm interested in what goes on behind the scene. Any glimpse...
If Puzz said, "sign here stating you will never win a prize", I'd sign right now... as I have no aspirations to win. It's all fun. Winning is an unexpected side effect of the game (I reference Andy Darley as an example). I do however hold z3r0san1ty as being the luckiest SOB I have ever known. Win once, good for you, win twice.. wow... and anything beyond that... you are just friggin amazing.

I think the fact that ISIS took me months to open (and even then on a technicality that might not have been there if getsis had been in the 500 Club back then) and my Ramisis is still laughing at me. Taunting me. Rolling it's beady little placenta at me. (STOP IT! STOP JUDGING ME YOU DIRTY FILTHY HUNK OF METAL! YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME! I WILL BEAT YOU! I'LL HAVE YOUR LITTLE BALLS IN A VISE BY THE TIME I'M DONE WITH YOU!)... Wow... okay... I blacked out for a minute there. I'm back.

Anyway... everyone is here for their reason... but I doubt that anyone is rubbing their hands together like an evil scientist thinking they will be first to the finish line; 500 Club or not. So hurry up, cash in your IRA and get your butt over here to start testing puzzles! 8)

(and if you're good, we might just put two bullets your in your shirt pocket for ya!)
(in case anyone doesn't get all that shirt, bullet, nip it reference stuff... It's Andy Griffith... great old American TV show... look it up)

Lol I believe cornett and bit have the same mentality as me to some extent, when I locked myself in with this 500 club I thought to myself ok having all the puzzles in advance paid for helps me in the long run for the fact that come time to release ISIS V it may be too pricey for some people and they could possibly back out of the competition because they can't afford it when time comes so less ammount of people I would be fightining against come to the end of the competition. But at the same time I'm not completely convinced I am even going to be able to win that grand prize but that doesn't mean I won't be giving it a chance to try and win but at the same time I realize I have never seen any puzzles like this before that are so unique and amazing to just look at so even if I never do even come close to winning that grand prize, the fact still remains in my body is that I have 5 amazing puzzles to show my friends and family and watch them attempt to try and open it and become as frustrated as I have been with the Isis and Isis II. Having the 2 gold coins in general was a prize all in itself for me to be satisfied but at the same time there are still 3 gold coins still roaming around, so I could not be the only person with 2 gold coins, a person with a gold coin from a pyramid could just as easily find the gold coins still in the UK somewhere and be just as lucky as I was when the day did come for me to find them.

this is so freakin tempting, if the stupid empire state building was open i could have gotten the gold coin from that and would join this no questions asked but no... now i have to figure out a way to scrounge up the money, being a poor college student sucks!

the gold coin is worth 200 pounds not 500 pounds, US money would be about 800 to buy into this offer not 500 usd

How do we pay for this? Do we pay through Paypal? If so, can we select our funding source (something that didn't work when I ordered my Ramisis)?
Don't mess around with really dense objects like things made of neutronium and black holes. It will only end in disaster.
What is the shape of things to come?

On the www.sonicwarp.com site is a button for 500 Club.

Going through there, you can process the order as either card card or PayPal.

I ordered by Ramisis with credit card and did 500 club as PayPal (so I could use my Discover Card) and it worked for me both ways through the sonicwarp main site.
