I still can't get over Little Sister's epic posts/day ratio(6days/781 total posts) ..... if you look at her profile here it looks like something to do with the rapture maybe? Did the one rapture guy ever mention penguins?

hmmm ... help the penguin fly is the clue
 
and we get a picture of a penguin crying ....
 
fly ... cry ... come on people lets gets this hammered out
 

Tm keeps this simple and every year we lose

I want us to win this year ... 3rd times the charm

Wait a minute ... just thought of something

Clue - help the penguin fly
Answer to the question - penguins don't fly or also PDF

I would like to see someone solve this part before I wake up in the morning

I sometimes think to myself: of all the things you could be doing with your time, why do you waste your valuable energy on a group of barely multi-cell organisms?

Could this just refer to our dedication to Folding in general and not part of the clue?

pain.asp
I suppose you help sparing me enjoying the golden years with my favorite dog.

And this ^ pointing back to the past contests : Golden Retriever, Hunting Dog

I think that is the best theory we have had yet. Now **** to do with that info.

I'm not 100% sure, but the frequency of my sighs over the course of time has increased as I read over this thread.
 
When I give a clue, I don't expect you to be a 7 year old brat that opened a present that was a new pair of pants and toss it aside saying "Gee, thanks..."
 
Look to the obvious, look to the past... maybe you'll stop flopping on the ground like a fish.

was looking in source code of:

http://www.evga.com/11/scavenger/
http://www.evga.com/11/wallpaper/
http://www.evga.com/11/game/
 
no penguins there, also didn't notice any comments...

/12/evolution..... anyone tried that? At work again on my phone

It seems we have to still try to figure out how the games of the past can be used with the info we already have.

trust_me
No more games, only pain.

!@ = 12

^?!?@)!! = 6/1/2011

Can't wait for June 1st to see what is up!!

Get ready for another EVGA Anniversary!!!

Knowing some stuff from last year I tried.
www.evga.com/12/
and eventually stumbled on.
www.evga.com/12/pain.asp
As AoD7 stated above 6/1/2011, I believe this page was active as of June 1, 2011, but I didn't think of it until the 3rd.

Just smacked my head on the desk and found this.

You fools

I honestly do not know why I put myself through this. Your pitiful attempts to make even the simplest word game successful have removed three years from my life. I suppose you help sparing me enjoying the golden years with my favorite dog. I sometimes think to myself: of all the things you could be doing with your time, why do you waste your valuable energy on a group of barely multi-cell organisms? What was once enjoyable, is now painful... like watching a penguin trying to fly .

12 is coming

Comment that confused me.

Blizzie
Help the penguin fly.

Until I re-read the source code.

rjbelans
I see where you got that now. *shakes fist* dag nabbit!

 
And then there was the arrival of the sad penguin. (Sad because he can't fly? Will he be happy once we solve "help the penguin fly"?)
 

xxrabid93
Might have just got something:

http://www.evga.com/12/penguin.png

Link works, and is a pic of a sad penguin. What does that mean/symbolize?

 
Then we didn't really get anywhere else, but trust_me did send a couple of PMs to try to get us to focus.
 

xxrabid93
Got this PM from trust_me 3 hours ago:

trust_me

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

(Note: title of PM was "Fly you fools!")
 
Which I think was in response to xxrabid93's other posts.
 

xxrabid93
Hmm, well i googled "sad penguin", and the first image is the same one in the above link, just on photobucket. Exact same dimensions too. Hmm... The user account is fritzer24, but there are no folding members or forum members named that.

It means the penguin is sad.

Well that's kind of obvious, lol. Do we need to cheer him up?

 
And I got a PM (and I think Shane was trolling around to see if I would post it.)

I keep seeing shane checking your posts, you guys must be making him nervous

Shane isn't the one we should be worried about ... it should be trust_me we need to be on the look out for

rjbelans
Maybe Shane has been waiting to see if I would post this PM from trust_me that came in just as I was getting to my parents house for dinner.

That's all I have so far.
 
Here is my earlier post with links to 10th and 11th annuversary stuff to look through.

***Ignore the contents of the PMs we've received. Those are meant to redirect us, and are not meant to be concrete clues. We should've been able to solve this clue only with the information provided on http://evga.com/12/pain.asp.

A bold statement.

Did we ever finish 4 of 6?  This is a long shot but counting words "YOU FOOLS", "HELP THE PENGUIN FLY" you can derive 4 of 6.  This does not account for "12 IS COMING".
 
I will now go back in time and review rjbelans links.  Thanks for these rjbelans! (It will take my mind off the Canucks)

xxrabid93,
It's possible, try anything you can think of.
 
CB2,
Looks like they're coming back home for game 7. I'll be watching Wednesday night.

So I was pillaging through Duke Nukem when my iPhone buzzes. Who could it be, Shane. Asking for me to come an help you fools with another torture fest. ;D. I am disappointed. I read 13 pages to simply find we only have found pain.asp.
 
So I am here to help. Let me remind you of what is important!
 
1. This post and every PM from Trust_Me. (this post alone, not any other, so stop posting to random posts)
2. This website (you will find no answers on Google, Shane is above that caliber)
3. Our past accolades. Decade, 11.
 
Shane has made it apparent that the only things we need  is the clue of this post and the knowledge of our past work.
 
I will do some digging, but until I have more please keep the topic on track for everyone's sanity.

This... does help. Penguins on the 11th Anniversary. So how do they "fly"?

No it doesn't help. That background was posted almost a year ago, it has nothing to do with this.
 
Sorry Lu, better luck next time.
 
Hey there Dude, sorry we had to upset Shane enough for him to have to call you in. If you look at my post above, it does have everything listed so far. I thought we could all get on track, but things seemed to die off once I made that post.
 
Now that you're here, lets hope this goes a bit smoother. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and help out.

Hey Dude! Thanks for coming back to help us again. I've started looking through some of that stuff from the past years but I couldn't figure out any connection except "flying high" might somehow relate to crank it up to 11? No idea though :p

See IV for inspiration.
Everything has been deliberate.
This is all new, not a continuation.
The painful part is still coming...
 
Looks like the painful part has arrived...

That is a good find. Not sure if it changes my theory yet, however it does fall in line.
