I just found the following in the source of http://www.proscriptparty.com/get_involved.html:
PPP wrote:
<!--Recruiting the President's People! Prove your sharp eye by emailing a list of typing errors on the website. Do it quickly; these will be changed in a few hours. We will talk more soon. This is top secret.-->

Will send email now.


Edit: mail sent.
I wrote:
As requested, I have compiled a list of typing errors on Party websites.


On http://www.proscriptparty.com/history.html:
"coexistance" should read "coexistence".
"kingdom-" should have a space before the dash, and an emdash instead of an endash.

On http://www.puritytowers.com/:
"cyber terrorism" should be one word.


Signed,
Lord Asphodel Storm.



Edit: I got a reply.

 		Nice find Asphodel.

New video up by President Jameson but it gets very loud in the middle so be careful!

Got another email from the President's assistant regarding the PT application:

Quote:
Helo applicant. My President tels me that he is still awating some finle informashun befor he can make his disicion. Something about people with sharp eyes. Best lcuk.

Thank you very much.


I keep wondering what's with the extensive spelling errors by the President's assistant. Is he a Grotian that never really learned how to write?

That would explain the very unsteganographic "informashun".

Proscripts are honor bound not to read the following:

If so, could we possibly recruit the assistant to the GU cause? It could be very valuable to have someone on our side in the President's office, reading and replying to the President's mail.

 		Just a note in case anyone missed it, President Jameson said in his Proscript Party Day video:

Nor this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Followup: I just noticed that Jameson's email (yourproscriptpartySPLATgmail.com) is separate from his assistant's email (puritytowersSPLATgmail.com). This suggests that emails sent to his assistant very plausibly would not reach Jameson. Does anyone want to try swaying the assistant? (I'd rather not risk my trusted position with the PPP -- there may not be more than two or three of us with that 'in'.)

 		New e-mail, new address. Wasn't sure whether to give it a new thread:

Quote:
From: Living on the Inside (insidepuritytowersSPLATgmail.com)
Subj: The Sword

I hope none of you did this.


I know you wouldn't.


We need to find out who did so that we can clear the GU name. I'll be out of contact for the rest of the weekend. It's too crazy around here for me to get deeply involved. I'll check in soon. Hang in there.

Here's the link instead of posting it all here... there's also some ciphers that need looked at too...

 		The "between the lines" message in the blog entry for the 24th is all one big simple substitution cipher.:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The entire weekend. All night and all day. From the moment President Jameson announced that the Sword of Flames had been stolen until early Monday morning. That's how long they kept me. Using their "advanced interrogation techniques."

I must have listened to my stupid audio spot playing a thousand times in that cold room. You know how you feel awkward when you hear your own voice? Imagine that feeling, only your voice is saying things that are nearly treasonous, and you're in a room filled with authorities, and you haven't slept in two days.

That's where I was this weekend.

They got Archie Rebel, too, but let him go shortly afterward, while I was forced to spend the night twice, answering questions throughout even the latest hours. The egotistical actor was worthless to them, but not the nerdy biographer, for some reason. My voice recording was more direct, more sincere. His was self-obsessive and meaningless. They saw no use for him.

This weekend marks one and only time I'll ever officially wish I was Archie Rebel.

I don't know what they asked him. But in my interrogation room, they wanted to know where Levi Waltershield was, where the Sword of Flames was, who was a member of the grotian Underground, what I knew about the resistance, and what their plans included.

There was nothing I could give them, and eventually – finally – they had to accept that. I can only imagine how quickly it must have become clear that Archie Rebel wasn't a source of any useful intelligence.

But I wasn't let go as a free person. Not completely. I used to be a freelance biographer who wrote mainly for the Party. Now I write for the Party only, at their command. In order to prove my allegiance publicly, I have to publish several articles about the Perfect, Pure, Pleasant, Peaceful, Popular People's Proscript Party. I have to do this. I don't know what they will do if I refuse.

I don't condone theft, and I hope I do not know the person who took the Sword of Flames. Stealing is wrong, even if you are stealing from someone you oppose. But I've seen some tactics and some personalities in the past few days that have turned me cold. I can only imagine what the grotians see when we're not looking.

I am on your side, but not publicly. That's not an option anymore.

Thanks Rogi! Thats Awesome! I'm so not a code guy! LOL!! Well It looks like Melissa now fully understands whats it like to be the underclass... maybe we should try and convince her to somehow write about her experiences as long as she can do it safely??

EDIT: Ok strike that last part... seemed kina dumb after reading it all again...

 		Now if we could just convince those dragons to only eat Party members and leave those innocent Grotians alone.

Oh, wait, what's that? The Grotians betrayed mankind all those years ago? Shocked
