Still puzzling over this.
Each sub-clue helps solve the main clue and all the main clues come together to form the answer.
Clue 4 says make contact with Aether-1 so perhaps all the previous clues tell us how to do that? Formulate a web address???
With that thought in mind the beginning of a web address would be www (worldwide).
"Tetris release (launch) for PC in 1988. The agreement with Tetris developer Blue Planet Software and the Tetris Company grants THQ exclusive rights to publish Tetris games worldwide through 2004 for console systems including PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameBoy Advance, as well as PC." Tetris is no longer a game contained on a handheld device but can be played online multiplayer across the world on versions such as Tetris Evolution.
MIR is/was launched as an international effort, also Russian origins but the aim was the world as a whole would benefit.
Launch means to set off, start off, release etc...the beginning...
www or world wide

still confusing non the less :/ kinda liked the idea of a space battle though with the coffee making warriors and the psychokinetic cavs
-
The project, sometimes called "Phase One", was intended to allow the United States to learn from Russian experience in long-duration spaceflight and to foster a spirit of cooperation between the two nations and their space agencies, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos)
In the elements earth fire, water, air and spirit. The spirit or Aether is symbolised as a circle and completes a pentagram of the elements
Spirit?

Ok going back here cuz it's time to put all this stuff together now.
Thalin's post is showing this now....we have only solved 1 of the 5 clues...we have lots of work still to do.
What is Aether-1? What do the clues mean? UNSOLVED.
Clue #1 discussion here. PARTIALLY SOLVED..
Clue #2 discussion here. PARTIALLY SOLVED.
Clue #3 discussion here. PARTIALLY SOLVED.
Clue #4 discussion here. SOLVED.
Clue #5 discussion here. UNSOLVED.
In order for them to contact Aether-1 they e-mailed them at aether-1@evony.com so what does that really have to do with the big picture?
Suppose it's time to go back and study the clues more.
-
has this anything to do with the LAUNCH prizes or CODiE awards?
-
Mir Publishers published a book about pascals triangle - maybe that is why clue 2 says solve clue one???
Find the launch point to base the drawing of triangles in clue2?
-
Launching a new game or a new software. The only thing I can get out of clue 1.
-
shapes?
4 sided and 3 sided

[QUOTE=ImInsane;1900132]I think I got what clue #1 means.
"Alexey Pajitnov was the major face behind the launch of Bullet Proof Software (which was actually organized by our American Troubleshooter, Henk Rogers), a software company that primarily produced Tetris-like games."
"The module arrived at the launch site on 6 May." - MIR
Launch of Bullet Proof Software May 6th!
Final answer on this one.

I can't help but sit here and think of the statement "Looked at the Past for the Future". Tetris and MIR are all part of the past...we are trying to figure out the future of evony...based on these items of the past.
I went back and did an additional search in wikipedia on Tetris and MIR...while I was doing so I came across this.
MIR (МИР) is the name of a series of early Soviet computers, developed from 1965 (MIR-1) to 1969 (MIR-2) in a group headed by Victor Glushkov. It stands for «Машина для Инженерных Расчётов» (Machine for Engineering Calculations). It was designed as a relatively small-scale computer for use in engineering and scientific applications. Among other innovations, it contained a hardware implementation of a high-level programming language capable of symbolic manipulations with fractions, polynomials, derivatives and integrals. Another innovative feature for that time was the user interface combining a keyboard with a monitor and light pen used for correcting texts and drawing on screen. It could be considered one of the first personal computers.
Still trying to make the 3 connect...Alexy Pajitnov, MIR and Tetris launching...looking at past for the future...how do the dots connect to come up with a new level of Evony?
