I could be wrong, but i dont think it's exactly a UK bank.


They're headquartered in London, and I think their main building is over at Canary Wharf. (Just found whole history is on their website, here.) It does stand for Hong Kong/Singapore. The connection is that Hong Kong was a dependent territory of the UK until '97.

...and maybe earn some cash that could be used in online perplex city sites for stuff that might help. you could build a whole secondary economy.


i wouldnt say a whole secondary economy .. but i am intrigued by your idea of playing game sto win lecks to buy other stuff. An entire economy involves using money fFor a vast array of things. But this owuld answer the idea of allowing people to setup and create accounts within the sentinel site. AND since every player would have to get their own money to read the sentinel on their own, every player gets to solve each puzzle or game on their own (instead of the common woe of a hundred people clambering to be the One who solves it)

No problem. XD The only reason I knew was that I had to go around Canary Wharf for a class I was taking, and I learned about the specific buildings. I'm glad it helped you. Very Happy

and (getting more on topic) if you read the HSBC history not as if it were earthly, but as if you were reading about some aspect of perplex city life, the tone seems to be fFairly in keeping with what we have. Or, that is to say, in doing research fFor how the perplexians live and organize their history, the PMs may have studied websites such as the HSBC history page. Indeed, PCBC may be modled loosely around HSBC.
