 		[SOLVED] Puzzle in SF Event Ads on Federated Media
Spotted the SF Live Event ad on BoingBoing and noticed an odd frame right before the end.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's Braille, and it translates to: Say goodbye to Perplex City


The Random Spec Monster is already loose in #syzygy. Razz

 		At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what exactly about this is [SOLVED]? Are we sure this is the end of PXC?

Noticing it and translating the Braille, of course. Story speculation isn't really considered a "puzzle" per se.

 		so is the new theory that the cube is in san fran, or the new connection is going to somehow destory pxc or render communications with them impossible?

One of the specs in IRC was that it was a threat and that we have to thrawt(sp?) the plan to destroy perplexcity.

 		I just wrote Mind Candy an email 'warning' them, to try and determine whether this was indeed in game threatness, or out of game hypeness.

Is this goodbye? wrote:

Dear Mind Candy
A couple of us have seen your advertisment for the San Francisco event, and spotted a hidden, almost subliminal, message in it towards the end. It reads "Say Goodbye to Perplex City". We are all rather concerned about this - we have recently had to say goodbye to one beloved character, who knows the devastation to the community that losing all our friends in Perplex City would bring? We were wondering if you knew anything about these messages, and if not - we thought we should alert you to them, in case the same people who have been tampering with the cards have also been tampering with your advertising graphics, and this is perhaps a threat? We would all hate to think that the Third Power might be planning something that will ruin your big day in SF, but perhaps some sort of preparations for such an event might be in order?


They're probably uber busy so I'm not sure I expect a reply, especially if it *is* out of game, but will let y'all know if i do :) They seemed to love being asked about the metaness on the cards on Monday, if just for the excuse to tell us emphatically that no, it wasn't anything to do with them, so maybe this is similar? well we'll see..

rach =)

 		so maybe we won't find the cube this season? they may try and milk it for all tis worth, it woulden't surprise me if we loose communication with them, spend a season trying to get it back led possibly by a converted 3p member on eath and then later figure out where the cibe is.

 		But then we won't get the 200,000 dollars! That would totally suck. Thats Mind Candy's biggest marketing strategy, and to not get it! *shudder* But my spec is that when we get the cube, we will send it over, and Sente will go mad a blow the city up with the power of it's awesomeness!

 		I'm guessing that some sort of 3P tampering will attempt to disable the links.

Perhaps some sort of mass puzzle that'll disarm whatever device is being used to fiddle with it.

Or, maybe, the focus might move onto some of the other cities on the other side of the divide.

 		Don't worry! I put in a call to Homeland Security and there will be black helicopters hovering all about. Cool
