It seems to me that the PM's are going to great lengths to create a TINAG feel for this "experience." So I was thinking that maybe we are looking at this whole image layering and stock photo use from the wrong angle. What I mean is that there has been alot of discussion about what the motivation of the PMs was in layering the images (i.e. place holders, etc). But maybe we should be concerned about what The Hanso Foundation's motivations would be for using stock photos for their employees (except for Mittlewerk) and why they would bother layering a supposed "real" photo of Alvar Hanso over a fake one. I guess what I am saying is that, if TINAG then The Hanso Foundation is responsible for building and maintaining their own site and not the PMs.

Doesn't anyone think he really looks like Roy-boy from Emergency! from the 1970's. The resemblence is uncanny to me.

I believe that the picture was put there to be found only by a few who play the game like some kind of secret easter egg.

Consider the following:
-When Hugh McIntyre appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, he looked different from the photo on the site. He elaborates, "I was supposed to replace that picture of my predecessor." | Perhaps something similiar happened with Alvar?

-If you called 1-877-HANSORG between 5/17 and 5/24 and listened to the Alvar Hanso section, a girl says, "What did you do with Mr. Hanso?"
Maybe he was replaced?

Maybe I have an idea what's underneath there:
text from the scrolling text box above

Try tabbing through the site and you will get a rectangle right inside the pollution map. It's just the link from the scrolling text box...don't worry, I fell for that for a second, myself. Laughing

I'm noticing that I'm seeing that falling line of text in various places depending on the colors on my monitor. I now think that's just a glitch in my monitor. But check out what I said in the LYCBYG thread another possible subliminal message on the main compass page that I'm positive has nothing to do with my monitor. I think the "subLYMONal" site link was just a means to let us know that they might give us a clue on one of their sites in the form of a subliminal message. There were also clearly subliminal messages soon after entering the password in the Peter Thompson bio, and I don't recall anyone cracking what those quick flashes of words read.

Is it possible that this picture and the faceless one from Hole2 are connected? It's just that suddenly two face-related pictures pop up from nowhere and both stump us...
