I concur, I say we find MC HQ for 2 reasons
1) they said that people are going to try to find it, then did the zoomy bit into the background - someone with a dvd recorder get pics of that please

2) they said they are not the PMs - thus they are not behind the curtain, thus we can hound them as much as we desire

Not seen the show yet - I'm gonna go watch the tape shortly. If anyone missed it it's repeated later tonight, around about 11pm. Alternatively, for those not in the UK, *cough* I get the feeling you'll be able to get hold of a copy soon enough.....

EDIT: As for finding the location of MC, equally I think it's a good idea. Sadly, whois and netcraft aren't giving anything useful (one, a proxy registration, the other some anonymous server on an IP in the US). Traceroute was equally uninformative, and I don't see a real address or phone number on the site anywhere. Hmmm, guess I'll have to try something else.

OKay. I submit to your challenge.

So lets say we do work out where MC is. (which is likely to happen quite soon now we have more info). My second point still stands. What are we gonna do?

What will we ask them? Should we be making a list of questions now so we are ready for the meet?

Get you're thinking caps on guys, not that it will take us all very long to come with about a thousand q's we want answers to!

I'm glad everyone spotted the balcony, I thought I was imagining clues...although I'm not convinced that was the same one and I wouldn't put it past them to have hired offices for the day in Slough. I get the feeling that they were playing with us (which after all is their job) and sadly they aren't based in Liverpool.

Just to add though, Jeb..VERY nice, most puissant, a little bit Oxbridge at one point, but that's just sour grapes on my part

geo..think you're right, he looked like he was selcting bits to excise for the backs of cards. If someone can capture that it would help Mima and POTUS no end!

There is a possibility that the video will come up on Scarlett's blog.
Maybe the PMs have made a deal with BBC.

Okay, the hounding was a joke, I hate when people take me seriously. However, the point I was trying to make is that although the PMs are the PMs, to the in-game extent they are not - yes, in-game sente exists, and all the information is coming from his end. So, with the PMs being in game, surely that means that they are not off-limits to email, ask questions etc? I agree that there may not be much point to finding them, however it would be interesting to know where MC were based, and maybe to speak with the PMs in an IG way - maybe asking questions like how did sente first get in touch with you? Did MC start because of sente's communication, or was MC comtacted by sente after the company was founded? The fact that they explicitly said "there will be people online who will try to find out the location of the office from the window" - which at that point we could not see anything out of because of the focussing, followed by the camera focussing on the outside, says to me that there must be something to gather from their location.

Sorry about the length of that paragraph, and sorry if I ruffled a few feathers (yanka)...

And having seen the repeat just now, I agree that that balcony was probably the skyline photo

To paraphrase the Futures "It's a great week to chow down on some eel and cucumber sandwiches - anything to keep you from chasing wild geese!"

[JebJoya]

Apparently that was their real office, according to ^oo^ on the chat room, who apparently knows someone or something in some way behind the curtain. Possibly.

Erm, yeah.
