[Spec] The parcel from Sente I'm willing to bet that the parcel that 333 people are getting will contain puzzle pieces that we have to put together for somesort of picture clue.
I believe that each peron will get some pieces (there will be enough duplicates to account for lost in mail packeges) and we will have to work together to assemble it.
What do you think?

Since the answer was'puzzle' it wouldn't surprise me. I'm 90% sure there will be a postcard in there. Which would bump my collection up to three, i'll probably give one away if thats the case.

That's a great spec methinks.
Everyone knows about me registering 333 email accounts - right? I have a zombie army of machines and spammed the webform so I could get most of the packages. They'll be appearing on eBay soon.
Ok, just kidding. I think you are totally right about redundancy. Maybe we will each get 3 things. A task, a riddle, a souvenier?
I hope several people get special one-of-a-kind items too - just to see the human drama . . . This is cool

Yep nice spec. Not necessarily a picture tho', could be a segment of text that has to be assembled into another article, just like the newspaper snippets. I'd probably be a bit disappointed if it was tho' - i'm hoping they have some more original ideas than that.
I'm actually really hoping that these packages contain keys - now wouldn't that be nice (that is, assuming i am in the 'magnificent 333' - otherwise it will suck )

Reason, if you get another postcard, and I do not get a parcel (have only just got my details on ) could I possibly have the spare post card? Please, please.
Thanks

Where did you find your first postcard?

Ooohhh!! Wouldn't that be so cool! I mean, obviously it wouldn't be an intuitive hardware that would work with our brain or something like the PPC version, but wouldn't it be cool if we got something that allowed us to see into the PPC world a bit more!? Anyway, cool spec, although knowing the way spec is going with the solve keyword, that "everyone gets some pieces" idea is looking more realistic.

We all gave our addresses. Maybe Sente's henchmen are going to pay us a late-night visit to 'persuade' us that he didn't steal the cube. Eek!

I'm hoping that the timing of the puzzle was deliberate in order to collate addresses, print labels and post the parcels asap to ensure we get them in the post either tomorrow or Monday.
Assuming that MC is in the UK, those of the 333 that are abroad may get their parcels sent from an MC outpost in their own country to ensure we all get them at more or less the same time.
I'll cross everything for a delivery tomorrow.

Problem - if it is pieces of a puzzle, isn't that gonna be a major hassle cos we are in different countries etc? Unless we post them all to one person (or group of people)?

i suspect it will be a key for the perplex city sent, but not the hardware solution as issued to PPC people
Also they will include some random shiz, probably a postcard

I'm willing to bet 333 Lecks there'll be some kind of mini puzzle for the individual to work out/post up here, with the solution being part of some bigger solution we all need to contribute to.
Man, I hope I was fast enough...

Well, if it is a co-operative thing, then you will have to wait for my solve, if indeed I did get the riddle answer and code in time, because I won't be going to the address I filled out for another week or two. I bet that'll put a twist in someones unmentionables if that's the case. *somehow, that makes me happy*

My spec is that they will be sending out 333 iPods with messages on, and this is all to advertise apple.
We can but hope.
