Hate to pour water on your fires of enthusiasm, but surely, this was always the intention?? That Mind Candy were in - game as well? After all, they specify on their site that their first clients are the Perplexians, and we know that there is a close link between the Cube Retrieval Team and Mind Candy - the cards reach us through MC serving as intermediary, although they were clearly 'written' by members of the Cube Retrieval Team.

Good to see them poking fun at themselves, I agree, though...

Although I sense a strategic ambition here - to head us off at the pass, as it were...

Still, Adrian promised many moons ago that this ARG was going to be as all encompassing as he and the team could make it, and this is another step on the way to ensuring that...

It'd be great if Mind Candy had employed somebody else to work out where the Cube had got without telling them, so that they have no idea of its exact whereabouts, either. That would be a truly meta - level of gameplay! Of course, it'd also be rather stupid...after all, how would we ever get any clues to help us find the Cube? Nurse, I'm babbling again.

I'm holding out for when Sente publicly fires them for incompetence.

Oh that's rich.

I wish I owned a printing company. I'd print a million long run of cards on credit.

Obviously part of the payment being to get a sneak peek at the cards you do print Wink
