Hmmm... cue the Sentinel...

Quote:
Disaster in Hunt for Cube

Earth's greatest minds reached a stumbling block today when one of Sente Kiteway's imaginative plans met with disaster. Kiteway, the square-headed target of many a stinging barb from this very publication, had employed the services of skywriters to pass on a message to the people of Earth. This message was designed to point the treasure hunting rabble of Earth in the right direction with some sort of cryptic message, or possibly a "big-assed arrow pointing to where the cube is". It did neither of these. It would appear that in all his plannings, Kiteway forgot to factor in one of nature's little quirks. That quirk being wind.

Kiteway was unavailable for comment. Well, to be honest, we didn't really look for him, we went straight to his daughter. Violet Kiteway is already known to be very outspoken when it comes to her father, having accused him of stealing the cube (possibly prompted by the previous article by this correspondent), so she was first on the list for a comment.

Unfortunately, what she said cannot be printed here. Sufficed to say, for all you puzzle-lovers out there, she claims that her father is something that rhymes with "a duckmit".

It's in several places describing who's doing what at E3. Here's a link to one:

Part of the recruitment programme from last year. Doesn't give much away but it's interesting. None of the links work on it unfortunately though.

 		You didn't get yelled at in that topic you've linked to... it looks like the mod just suggested that line of thinking got left unless something points us to it later on. Which it has. Good work in finding it though, don't be cross and growl : )

I just feel special to be important, and right!

Usually the reason PMs use domains by proxy is that they don't want people to find the real registrar. If they wanted us to find the registrar by whois lookup, they wouldn't go through the effort of getting a private registration Wink Not to mention the fact that mindcandydesign was a protected site at the time you posted it, and that pretty much meant that it wanted to be left alone (lest the all-too-happy hax0r types would take up on their favorite bruteforcing passtimes).

I don't know what you ended up doing to find mindcandydesign, but if it was anything like what you suggested in that earlier thread, then it was either illegal or bordering on illegal. Any time you are hacking an OOG website to get information about the game, you can be rest assured that you're doing something wrong. Posts/threads about that, and/or about attempts to hack the game will most likely be locked down in the future as well Smile

 		All I actually did to find the site was request an email address. I saw that the email was *********@mindcandydesign.com Smile





Bringing this up wasnt really important, it just makes me feel special to have found this before the rest of the players........even if it WAS a little wrong Embarassed
