Well the new video is certainly weird. I am going to have to check my mail today to see if the shirt arrived. I will let you all know if there is anything weird about it, and will take pictures if needed. I am curious to know what Kate means about "getting the size right this time" on the next package.

I am happy to see that my flyer went over well. Its funny how the things I make, which I figure will only amuse myself, keep getting used on the webpage. This is by far the most involvement I've had in game before.

I'm thinking that might be a hint to make sure you look at the tag in the shirt.

That seems like a logical thought. I guess you would want to make sure that people were looking closely. I was kind of hoping that it would be like a doll shirt, or maybe it would have three arm holes or something. I'll let you know what I find when I get home tonight.

Any thoughts on The Scientist's site? Could the shirts maybe lead us there?

I've been looking at that for the past 10-15 minutes and nothing jumps out at me as to what it means. So very cryptic. Hopefully I'll have something to share tonight, that is if the shirt has arrived. Maybe it will all make sense then.

If I am not mistaken, shouldn't there be a third shirt too? Who else is getting one?

EDIT: Has anyone noticed that Kate's location keeps changing on her page? I thought for a second that it might be due to travelling on the campaign trial, but in the videos and blogs she has never mentioned it. Also, all of her videos appear to be shot in the same place. Just something to throw out there.

the third winner was Polonia...
well, I've noticed the changing locations too, that's probably the scientist asked where she is actually from?!

and she some kind of answered our comments @Ifihadahifi in her new blogpost.. man, the Man runs her really hard... Sad
Poor Kate..

and the signs, well, I'm starring on them, but nothing comes to my mind.. looks like an alien font lol

Yeah, you have to feel bad for Kate. She has so many crazy things coming at her and you're right, it would seem that The Man keeps her very busy. Interesting to get a description of the person following her too.

Those symbols are very weird. It does look like an alien font of some sort. I can't wait to get home and see if my shirt shows up. It is driving me crazy wondering if there is another clue there.

Any ideas on finding the Scientist's Site? Do you think its related to the shirts, or are we looking for something else?

kate has a new post on myspace

Quote:
Hello. It's Kate again. I'm working very hard on Man of the People. Some of you have said I may need some rest, but please don't worry. I'm just fine. Really. Thanks for your concern. We have an election to win, right?

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do for Week Three's theme: Society. Go out and change the world for the better. That's what this campaign is all about.

Someone is definitely following me around lately. A guy with long hair and sometimes a camera. This morning, I finally approached him on the sidewalk and offered him a Man of the People flyer. He jumped back and said, "No! I can't touch that! Throw it away!"

It freaked me out so much that I just ran away. When I got home I thought it over and decided he's probably some kind of radical supporter of another candidate or something. I wish I knew what he wants with me.

What do you guys think? There are just so many things going on right now that I can barely hold them together in my mind. It's like everything's a fog. I'll be glad when The Man is finally elected and I can finally get a short vacation.



didnt notice it was the same as on the motp site

It is too bad that we can't tell Kate anything about The Scientist. Of course, at this point, it may cause he head to explode, like in that movie Scanners. Still, I somehow feel guilty for keeping secrets from her.

I get this strong feeling that something bad may happen to Kate. I definitely want to hear back from The Scientist though. So freakin' mysterious.

the scientist seems concerned, as Kate mentioned, that some people from us will receive a package (in the Radio Interview) (and he's also worried about touching those things, just like this ominous guy who follows Kate)
Maybe these signs on the shirts are used to control people? Kate wears that shirt all the time ..

Wow, that's a really good theory. Way to go, Lairosiel. It would make perfect sense that they would try to control people with the campaign materials. I am going through Kate's page, as well as The Scientist's to see if I overlooked anything else.

No idea how to contact the Scientist, but I've only recently joined the game. Perhaps earlier pages of the thread contain the information you need?

I've been thinking about the alien code (aka t-shirt code), and have been trying to analyse it as a basic cypher. Some of the symbols occur more than once, so perhaps, if it translates to four four-letter words, then we might be looking at an 'a'. Anyway, here's how things break down:

1234
5673
89*^
3984

Most common symbol = 3 (occurring 3 times). Symbols 4, 8, 9 occur twice in the code; 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, *, ^ only once.

Not sure if this is of use to anyone, but it is something to think about until we get a new update.

thought about that too, frequency analysis rocks the boat, or the vote or whatever Wink
