Smile Around here, we call that "falling down the rabbithole."


My question is... who are the man on the bottom right corner, and the woman on the bottom middle?



Theories include:

He's our new Thumos
He was an early version of Kai
She's Monica at a weird angle
She's an early version of Ariadne

Oh, I didn't recognize such a big mistery!!! Very Happy

The six athletes, including a Japanese "Noriko-san", send you information in their blogs!
Here's Noriko-san's blog

Nope, I don't think so. Edwin Moses is older than the guy pictured.

SUE MCDONALD'S FOR REMUNERATION!


Unfortunately, you couldn't sue McDonald's even if you didn't like your photo up there for advertising purposes. All the legal angles are covered by the Terms of Use contract on the main Lost Ring website:

Quote:
Your User Generated Content is not confidential or proprietary. You grant to us a non-exclusive, non-revocable, worldwide, perpetual right to use your User Generated Content in any manner or media now or later known without limitation including but not limited to the right to sublicense and assign and commercialize without any compensation due to you.


Basically, the Terms of Use contract states that any User-Generated Content you create is owned by the McDonald's Corporation and can be used in their publicity and advertising campaigns. Including, as we see here, your photo without your consent, or videos you post to game websites, etc. I am researching this aspect of the game's marketing structure and I'm interested in feedback from players. Contact: gamer.profSPLATyahoo.com if you have an experience you'd like to share.
