Today's game has a small twist. More security... If you get a message saying you can't get in, just hit F5 to refresh your page a few times and it will work.

I kind of phased out after the same game every day (which I assume has the same outcome whether we play or not) and the USA only videos but it's worth mentioning that Hiro posted a new puzzle.

It looks a little like this:



And has a list of questions:

6. Glenn, 600 A.D.

14. Flare caster
15. ^0
16. A Lucas, Coppola, and Disney collaboration
17. Germanic relationship, Susie Q and Jojo
18. A Japanese meeting place, Yojimbo and Tsukino
25. Burnt cacooo
26. Qapla'
27. Ka____x2: Puts out mountain fires
28. Episode VII character?

39. The Traveling Salesman Problem in the Euclidean plane
40. Kitty family

44. Unicorn saint
45. Japanese fishing pants or a European camera

DOWN
1. A not so crowded Hawaii minus the wonder?
2. Like Geller's creation
3. Mulligan's aunt, a Diego
4. The world
5. Talks in lisp
6. Adobe's, not GNU

32. Brown stormtroopers
33. Parabrahman
34. Japanese mora

It's fairly easy this time round, I already solved it and the arranged letter reveal a hidden message. If I wasn't so late for work I would go through it, but I'm sure the answers will turn up here eventually.

videos!

If I knew how, I'd put them up on youtube for y'all.

The story so far with the videos, for all y'all non-US viewers...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

This part of the game is being played out in a player flash shooter-type game. The non-player portion is watching a set of teleconferences between two programmers and the head of the election authority. Over the period of the week, they have to validate the voting to make sure that everything's fine.
The two programmers are hired by Linderman. Hana stole Linderman's login info and used it to break into their rigging program. She's then having us, the players, go through and delete as many of the fixed votes as possible. The voting counsel doesn't suspect anything thus far. This was an immediate success and the programmers have been trying to ramp up security for a solid week. They succeeded on one day with fixing the votes, but Hana has since broken back in. Tonight, they are all meeting with Linderman to discuss the election.


::Edit::

We beat them. no election rigging for Mr. Linderman.
Looks like they're taking the weekend off and will be ready to go again on Monday

Poor Brian. He's so screwed. That's okay though. Less bad acting now.

Cool. Malcolm McDowell AKA Linderman was in the latest conferrence call.

That's a pretty major actor for an ARG character. I mean, this dude was Alex de Large! And probably some oher iconic character too. I hear was in a film called Cyborg 3: The Recycle... Seriously.

Anyway, that's still very cool. A character in a major TV series showing up in an extended reality project. Most shows find a way around that kind of thing like Lost or Prison Break.

I should clarify that I've only had One video not load for me. All the others have loaded almost fine. The major problem I have is that the video's don't stream right and are ridiculously blurry.

Which is what gives heroes it's edge, the guy behind the series has said that that's what he wanted to do, Ie; for those that just wanted the show, you watch the show but if you wanted extra he was going to try and deliver and these little things are doing just that.

I have a theory about Brian actually, but I'll wait and see.

Personally I don't think his acting was all that bad, mainly because when you're in that kind of environment, that's exactly the kind of crap that can happen.

it probably won't be online until later tonight, EST. I guess that NBC figures that people will get this message while at work or something (think about their target auidence) and go to the site when they get home or after watching the show.


nevermind, it's up!!! Im gonna start searching the site. there's gotta be a clue or hidden something here. it looks way too clean.

An anagram, perhaps?

Gotta love the bumper stickers. http://www.votepetrelli.com/downloads.shtml

Actually, pretty slick campaign site. Hits all the right buttons. Family, military, tragic story, selfless committment to public service. Sure makes him look like a political wet dream. Wink

Isn't this funny?

Check this out, on Petrelli's "About Nathan Petrelli" page, he's talking all about "Fair Voting" and he says "...report it here in the 30th district." Of course, there IS no 30th district in NY.
