I know it's gone dead! Well I might as well take a stab... All the "u" and "k" in the postcard makes me think "nuke" but maybe its the news.

No one has broken the bic pen cypher/code... that could be a key date or location I think. Too bad I am awful at them!

Anyone in the NYC who got a key, message me. Maybe we should take a field trip soon.

Received a job placement email from Meg Sarah Street with subject "Congratulations!". Leads to what-the-shirt.com. Nothing hidden in the email

Interested if people were given different job placements or if t-shirt designer is the standard.

Looking over the site now.

Ok, noticed that the site didn't work, and clicked on other links. Saw more Urdu. Inquired at the email address provided and they replied with a doc of the Urdu. Ran it through Google Translate and this was the result:

The most merciful Islamic Greetings 20 July 2011 This is my will: I want to be Salim Khel evidence service in this land my last world, if I have failed. I saw that my country azazyl West Bank Act a dog is great. I very much fear in Pakistan alliance between Zionist Israel is America's soldiers. This is my commitment, transfer of Allah willing, that is the balance of power in the region.

As you can see, it was not quite as clear as the last translation.

Decided I would join since the filter at work now allows me to access the full features of the site and I hate double/triple-posting so the editing will be a bonus.

Interesting capitalization in some emails so not sure if they are trying to hide something or not. Figured I would quote the back and forth for future reference. I decided to take myself further into the game and act as if everything is real, so the below is the result of that.

Hey guys so ages back I looked on kevin stones website to see if there were any clues here and i saw a whole bunch of websites in his webdesign portfolio that looked a little suss. I googled them and couldn't find anything so i just dropped it, but now that we are directed to this what-the-shirt site, which was amoung them, i think there might be more to it.

Now that we know this is part of the game, maybe we can get some further clues as to where its going from the other sites on the site, which is kstonedesign.com

One site that stood out to me is the New York eagle site, which has a heading typeface that looks like it may be the same as the one on the top of the newspaper article about John Smith that was received in the initial sent out package.

I emailed, got the same response but with the following capitalization:

We founded this business Six years ago. Just Two artists and a dream! Working Nine to Five, missing birthdays, bar mitzvahs and many many anniversaries! We struggled for Three years, but finally we made our dream come true. We strive to be a cutting edge, family based company, and we're always looking for another member!

So 6 2 9 5 3

So I clicked the t-shirt page at what-the-shirt in that order and.... bam!

Card deck!!

Very Happy

Nice. Funny how the numbers were staring me in the face, both from Salim's id, and that email, and I thought nothing of them.

I reckon everyone will get t-shirt designer. I like how most of the shirts on the site seem to be references to what's happened in the game so far.

I got to the cards on the site but can't figure out for the life of me what to do with them. I'm wondering if they could indicate some sort of order again, but i really don't know what for with there being such a limited amount of different cards.

Here's the layout of them anyway;
