    Exclamation Fortune favours the bold...

    Preface:

    This is a typical "clue hunter" contest.
    For those of you forumers old enough to still remember, one of our friends DanielRH (known as Daniel Reiss Harris) once posted a very convoluted message with a bunch of cryptograms. The prize was a then-incredibly rare and valuable holiday item.
    Here's the link: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...Hunter-CONTEST!

    Today, our friend Daniel is no longer active on the forums, but instead plays a remarkable role as the CEO/Founder of his own company and pursues a CS degree at one of America's top universities, Harvard.

    When the holiday season started this month, I returned to the forums with the intention of reviving the Ambassadors of Alterra video I made a few years ago. It has become a sort of forum tradition to show this holidays video at the end of each year to all new and returning players...which I will post once we get closer to Christmas.

    But I also wanted to recall our friend Daniel, and so, through the spirit of the holidays and some remembrances of a great friend, this competition of monstrous proportions was born...

    I) Both parts are codes. The first one is not too hard. The second is of a much more complex nature.
    II) This 'game' is played with two parts. Part II gives the answer, and Part I tells you what to do with it.
    III) The screenshots are clues, and hints to the prize.

    IV) "From the moment we are born, we begin to die."


    You have until the 25th of December, 2014.
    If you are successful, great things shall unfold.

    Good luck,

    Here's some context...

    What I've posted here is a pseudo-riddle type of 'game'.
    There are multiple parts, and I will reveal more steps once a few people successfully solve the preceding step.
    The 'game' should end by Christmas time, and prizes will be awarded over the following few weeks.

    If a current step is too hard, or if no one shows any sign of progress over the period of 3 days, I will post another hint.

    Good luck!
