Prince Gulag = Gulag
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulag wrote:
The Gulag (Russian: ГУЛаг, tr. GULag, IPA: [ɡʊˈlak] ( listen)) was the government agency that administered the main[1] Soviet forced labour camp systems. While the camps housed a wide range of convicts, from petty criminals to political prisoners, large numbers were convicted by simplified procedures, such as NKVD troikas and other instruments of extrajudicial punishment, and the Gulag is recognized as a major instrument of political repression in the Soviet Union.
GULag is the acronym for Chief Administration of Corrective Labour Camps and Colonies (Russian: Главное управление исправительно-трудовых лагерей и колоний, tr. Glavnoye upravlyeniye ispravityel'no-trudovih lagyeryey i koloniy) of the NKVD. It was officially created on April 25, 1930 and dissolved on January 13, 1960.[2] Eventually, by metonymy, the usage of "the Gulag" began generally denoting the entire penal labour system in the USSR, then any such penal system.

I was thinking Polarlands would refer to Poland, which was invaded by the Soviet Red Army

Also, I'm guessing this is the comic Mysterio said we should use to work it out.
[Host]: you should be able to use the comic and my notes to decode it now

Something to note
The Shop says AVAILABLE NOW
And then all the products say COMING SOON
Also when you leave the store and return to the ship and try to reenter, it doesnt let you. It's possible that they released this a little early by mistake

cheers! I was expecting a trout, but a coelacanth would be much nicer!
I've been a bit slack checking on the RP site recently due to having to use Chrome, but luckily since downloading Firefox 4 Google searches have been crashing it, so I've been keeping Chrome open for as and when I need it.

Just a thought, but would that keyhole shape on the STIES image fit over any words?

Well I've thought all kinds of things about this ARG that were wrong - so there's a good chance I'm wrong about this too - I think (like MrFett above) that the STIES plot involves the Moby Dick comic. But I will look at the letter and Coop comic and see what I see. Sometimes I see things that aren't there and sometimes I miss things that are right in front of me - so...
EDIT: gimmypig - I didn't see anything that looked like it fit - doesn't mean someone else won't.
