Just so people know, SonicWarp has a VeRO agreemnent with eBay.

As per the terms and conditions of the Isis Adventure, anyone who is caught selling ANY information to do with the Isis will be banned from ALL Isis Adventures.

This includes solutions to the clues and the solution to the isis itself.

2 people have been banned so far and more are on the way.

This is not up for debate. And eBay is checked daily.

Furthermore anyone who attempts to extort SonicWarp (pay me

Gotta agree with you Icicman, I am not the greatist puzzle solver in the world but I am working my way threw the isis and it has a greater grip on me than I can remember anything before, I am constantly thinking about the solution and thats before I get to the hunt itself.
Based on that I woukld protect its secrets like life depended on it, as I feel that once I have comleted it I would get some enjoyment knowing there are other people going threw the enjoyment, frustration that I did.

Its typical though, there are people that invent/create something new and there are people that attempt to coin it off the back of someone that has done the work for them.

It's a shame that people seek to profit from the enjoyment of others.

Curiously, I've seen a number of people blogging about the Isis, and in some cases solutions to the Clues have been posted on websites (etc.). Most notably (as I remarked: http://www.isisadventure.co.uk/forum/vi ... =4628#4628) someone took the trouble to X-ray the puzzle.

Would SonicWarp be encouraging folks not to post such 'freebies' online, lest the enjoyment of the puzzle be diminished for those folks who'd like a good crack at it? In particular, the author of the X-rayed Isis is happy to have his pics removed to prevent this 'spoiler'.

Kind regards,
Gopha.

That is indeed very sad, seeing such a thing. But then again..
1) This is eBay. You can pretty much expect anything to turn up over there for sale (didn't a teen sell his soul to an old woman in DesMoines, once ?). Information is something you can sell too - if we needed yet another proof of this, here it is !

2) Then of course, people wouldn't put up such clues for sale on eBay if there was no demand for them ;)
