FINAL PT PUSH: VER. 5 - Additional Achievements (Points) for casual or new(er) players, plus the game "story"
October 29, 2009 - 9:27pm
Version 5 (final): Adds Mark of the Marquis (Easy!!), Mark of the Broken Gear, Mark of the Thirteenth, Mark of the Watcher, Adieu! Adieu! Adieu! and don’t forget that you can get points if you invite facebook friends! (5 points to invite 1 friend which is all the time you’ll have left…) Also added a note that two of the first two eggs can be obtained by watching one of the winning videos this week.
If you are a new or casual player, you may not know that there are addition points to be had which are not accessible via the "this week" tab.
If you are interested in a little bit of extra work, these points can be yours. As an added bonus, you'll see the game's "story" unfolding.
For each item, I'll give you a link to the forum post which I found most helpful. (N.B. Some of these are in the general forum, so before you post there asking for help, ask in this forum!)
N.B. Other items build on this first one, so you really need to get this one before you'll have success for most of the others.

There are also a couple of "easter eggs" which are pretty much unrelated to everything else. They are just plain old fun (if you are a puzzle geek...).
Achievement: Uber Geek

Then there's a "two-fer":
Achievement: Hello World
Description: Look up from Broad St. countdown.
Points: 15
Achievement: Not a first, but a founder
Description: Rehatch an old egg
Points: 15
There are a bunch of threads on these, but I would go with: Egg two-fer
Now, the physical objects aren’t there for you to get these anymore, but you can “see” them if you look at one of the photos in this winning video:
Check out Bethyalamode’s video at about 1:45. it lives on...
In the place of the original two eggs is a final egg:
Achievement: Adieu! Adieu! Adieu!
Description: So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight.
Points: 15

Achievement: 1 less than three bees

Double thanks for this list, Rochrach. I felt at a disadvantage for coming to this game in Week 4. I had no idea what was available or what was going on aside from the web puzzles and the Sunday newspaper puzzles.
I have all but one of the achievements on your list. I looked, but I think that two-fer is gone.
