"If you're chatting with me, you're not chatting with me" - the new mesage on Ourcolony must be deliberate?

It figures since they'd need permission, it'd be interesting to date the pictures to the ourcolony game. If there's nothing to link each non-devkit image (such as the Ian Britton images), then gamem8ker must have photshopped them in, and the relevenace of what the pictures are actually showing is actually irrelevent to what has been added.

im so sorry if this has been posted already. but the white hart pic is now linked by ourcolony...

http://www.ourcolony.net/images/gallery/227438.jpg

its def in game and has 6 numbers before the .jpg file extension. i am now thinking that the sixth (definitively) will either show up, or prove to be the beware picture.

Some are saying this could be the 6th pic. I dont beleive it though. Nor do I beleive that it is really what it looks like.

Shadowspawn

Just to toss out some additional details:

The flowers picture is scaled down from the original by 65% in height (the width was cropped).

The White Hart image has not been scaled at all, it was just cropped and the sCt letters added. I also noticed that there were two small red dots in the windows under "Hart" that are grey in the cropped picture, but these look like they are probably just compression errors since they are some other dithering artifacts too.
