What the heck is the Uber Geek achievement and how can I get one of those?? LOL

It's an easter egg. Easter eggs won't be listed on achievement lists - half the fun is finding them. :-)

Ha! Figured it out. Love it, guys. "30 lives" indeed!

Konami had something to say about this a while back!

I'm embarrassed that i needed these hints to get it. Some geek I am.

who the heck is konami?

google is your friend.

i second that thought :-)

Geez guys, we weren't trying to make it THAT obvious :) We're glad you guys enjoyed the easter egg, and it'll one of many. If you're going to share hints though, do it in the faction forums and make the other factions work for it!

I got it and I have absolutely no idea what I did right. I had some ideas and was randomly typing in guesses. Then I switched to another page and I got that Facebook thing that comes up when you get something.

Could someone tell me through private message what it was? This is going to bug me to no end.

@ Vickie P: me too!

These forums need some hint moderation PTI Staff!

We have basic moderation features in place to block sharing of solutions, but we've agreed that sharing hints is something that's virtually impossible to control.

However, I'd like to stress again that helping out members of your faction in the individual faction forums is far more productive than sharing in the general forums where everyone can see! Helping other players out is great, but this is a game after all :)

I don't understand what the clue was with the Egg. Yesterday I got a text from SCP giving us a headz up that we would be receviing a code. I got the SCP code and got the acheivement but then I saw the Egg Achievement up there on the top 10 Leadership page. What was the clue? Did everyone receive a text? Or an email from a FB page they are a fan of like Kodak, Foodlink, or WXXI?? i don't understand. I only got the points/achievement becuz I got some help from fellow faction members but now I see there is another Egg Achievement....how does one know how to figure it out if they received, saw a clue anywhere (other than the Leadership board)???

I did not get a text or an e-mail. Was I supposed to?

Why is this measley 5 point UBER GEEK killing me. I have tried everything I can think of from the wiki related to konami,the code his name , game name, etc. what am I missing ?

How did players use the code in other games?

Same way.

In games where you'd get killed off by the monster/bad guy/whatever, you could use the code to get 30 extra lives and thus get to play the game longer.

It was so long ago, jeez louise, we seem to have been playin this game for MONTHS, lol I had to be reminded what it was, lol, yup, its only 5 points, but go to the submission page and put that K-Code in and dont forget to enter after it! Micci

you 'literally' have to 'do it' to be an UBER GEEK

I used the arrow keys

Thanks...I finally understood!
