 		I'm using Gmail, I wonder what the deal is because I still have yet to receive an autoresponder. The email changed before when the PMs did something in game, so I thought it would happen again.
But if you got the same thing then Gmail must just be slow.

 		THe video looks the same to me - just watching it.

My email had a typo so that's why I received no response.

 		graffiti
I'm even wondering whether the scrawled message "Hi Shaun & Stuart" (above and to the left of 'LOST') is a little ARG in-joke. Or maybe I'm stretching things a bit too far....

Then going to put them together in movie format, and/or zip the images up for people to download.

Example of my script running for not too long: http://whataboutpp.com/arg/ex/

Note: The images are saved in: 'hour.minute.second.jpg' format.

I'm going to try to run this for awhile as they are only 7k per image.. hopefully will be able to catch on to things that we may have missed being there at a specific time.


Ziot.... did you run the script? Where can we find the images? I'd like to see!

 		NOthing on that Ziot site has been updated, so the captures (if they exist), must be in another directory off of root. OR another machine,

 		looks like the graffiti on the wall is just a bit of fan art, maybe our lot leaving their mark on abbey rd?

also, we were trying to work out the relationship between dinah, talking about marketing the ARG n stuff, and sente and his side of the storyline, it all seems a bit complicated. especially now as dinah is using PPC academy stationary and also she talked about MC (spec'd as mission control now) which sente had originally mentioned on the postcard (we thought it might be mail carrier). not really come to any conclusions on where dinah fits into everything though, sente doesnt seem the type to be worrying about marketing techniques, but i guess we'll see more when someone posts the rest of the emails up

EDIT: they are up now, here, seems sente and dinah are in league after all...

rach =)

It was hosted locally, that was just an example.

Sadly, firefox froze at 7:43:31 EST

So I missed 17 minutes Sad I just woke up, so I haven't even figured out what happened, but i'll put the images together.

 		Just got back from Abbey Road, phew what a day (and bloody hot & sunny as well, for those people who still think that London is constantly under a vale of fog)

Have attached a couple of pictures of Dinah (very attractive she was too - hope all other PPC characters will be as nice as her Worshippy )

Am happy to answer any questions about today, if anyone has any.

On a personal note, just wanted to say it was cool to meet up with everyone today - you're a great bunch of people Very Happy

Well from our vantage point she just kinda turned up from nowhere, and sat on the wall opposite the zebra crossing, very close to where the main Unfiction group was (on the benches). She was carrying a large stack of envelopes, which was her main giveaway.

As much as I *hate* to blow my own trumpet (..........toot!!) I was the one who made first contact Cool
I asked her if her name was Dinah, to which she replied yes; I then told her the password ('Exchange'). At which point she gave me a big grin, and handed me an envelope.

We didn't ask her many questions - as someone else pointed out, she seemed to be just hired help, not actually involved in the game at all.

After that, she took photos of us all, said something to the effect of 'it was nice meeting you all', and buggered off.

 		Hopefully my bandwidth will bear this - the Abbey Road shakycam [10.9Mb]

Jesus, I laugh like a little girl...goddamnit.

Edit: SpaceBass has added MOV uploads to the forum, so I've added the video as an attachment instead to save what's left of my bandwidth allowance.
