If the thread already exists just point me in the direction of it and I'll be on my way. Otherwise, maybe the ATOT community could try and tackle the clues as they come out.
First clue: "3000 Upside Down" which is just MMM in roman numerals. Upside down would make it WWW, the beginning of a URL.
Second clue: "FbWiFnRg" which could either be a search for FWFR on the bing search engine (which returns a file review site) or something to do with part of the URL for the answer...or maybe another clue will give a hint of how to apply this part.
Third clue: "You are now watching 370211931299"...pretty easy if you've ever been to Ebay. I put that number in and it gave back this. Seems to be nothing of importance thus far, may just be beginner clues to get people in the right frame of mind.
Fourth clue: "New clue: a predatory fish being earnest". Big WTF here, will update if I can make something out of it. Some people are referring to "a fish being earnest" with a loan shark which is the primary focus of a movie called "A Lousy Ten Grand" which is featured on FWFR here. Sort of a stretch but who knows.
Fith clue: "http://twitpic.com/835jr". It's a picture of a map that appears to be around Saskatchewan, Canada. The map is viewed via Bing Maps which is to be expected. I'm wondering if the focus is to be placed on the main town of Regina or not. Some are tying it in with Queen Victoria which the city was named after.
Sixth clue: "Use a crowbar to open the tun" Many are interpreting the crowbar as a "tool" that will be needed to open the Tun, which is also known as a wine barrel, or more loosely a chest of sorts. May be a metaphor as needing a specific plugin or something to view the winning page.
Seventh clue: "Jobiska made a drink for Ian. Or Arthur." This references a poem by Edward Lear called ?The pobble who has no toes?. The important line in the poem is
"And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink
Lavender water tinged with pink; "
The part that sticks out is Lavender water. It might tie in somehow with the region on the map but once again we'll have to wait for another clue.
