I'm not up at 4 AM to help escaped convicts, but you might...
Good luck, this looks kinda fun, even if it came across IM to me. And I did check News & Rumours, I don't see it posted by anyone else...

I believe, if I am not mistaken, that it has to do with this:

hmmm a new tolomy game? On close inspection it kinda looks like a whole new game.
In the photo album link he gave to Sin there's some screenshots of news websites which mention all of his previous games.
There are other pictures which mention "The final project" and "london southbank february". There's also a playing card (ace of clubs) with some writing on it.
and also:

I will say that it's pretty impressive that he escaped from what is essentially a maximum-security prison in only 11 days. Evidently it wasn't just me who was lazy over the holidays.
Some info about Belmarsh , including the fact that its main objective is to hold "Category A" prisoners, which are prisoners which would be considered "highly dangerous".
That first picture is called "clues.jpg". Does it mean the game is starting now?
TheFinalProject.com appears to be about a French TV show; .net and .co.uk are misses.

This also explains why the Żoung Inventor's Competition' has bleeded to death. Probably the invention that was stolen there helped Dave with his escape?

It is a whole new game, and Dave's told me it's supposed to last the whole of 2006. Altho from previous experience of Dave's games, they last about a week before he gets bored.
I'm gonna watch this from the sidelines

I hate to be critical, but wouldnt volunteers have contacted him, rather than him contacting them and calling them volunteers?
