So why is perplexcity.com still live?


[oog] it would be poor business practice to pull that site.. how many players (new or otherwise) would be turned off by the game if they couldn't access the site? [/oog]

Mind Candy Puzzles is still active as well.

 		Sssssh! Maybe 3P forgot about it. Don't draw attention it. That thing on all the other sites is kinda creepy.

EDIT: Actually, the "Story So Far" bit of perplexcity.com has the creepy goodbye thing, but the other bits seem ok.

 		Story So Far on PXC.com is gone, though.

For reference until we get our connection back (which we will!):

 		Why is mindcandydesign.com also down?
Can somebody explain why Mind Candy's own site has also gone down?See their site. Is this still an alternate reality game, or .....??

 		Good Question. You would expect MCs site to be working if PxC.com is... Perhaps they thought they'd blank out the MC site just for effect...

Their site probably doesn't have a measurable effect of PXCs web-presence, if people hear of PXC today/tomorrow and goto the PXC main site and are greeted by a "Say goodbye....", then they simply won't come back.
By keeping it they are ensuring that novice players aren't turned away.


But it is a bit lame on MCs part, it's all or nothing, not half arsed.

 		Does this mean we have no method of communication with Perplex City until the new link is up?

Not anymore, I am on the Story so far page, and i see it as clear as day. They probably didnt want anyone being turned off be the game. This is really creepy! Maybe this has something to do with "combed thunderclap" on the cards, or the numbers on the cards.

That's because it's a Mind Candy site and not one from Perplex City Rolling Eyes


Too reiterate look up there ^

Link cut at our end by 3P. We know they're here as they fly helicopters and everything.

 		www.mindcandydesign.com is still working... seems that earth based sites are up, and only PXC based sites are down.

Driving up to SF tonight.... can't wait!

 		Which means they haven't "severed" the link, only intercepted it. Or it could be that the third power sites are eathbased, since we know they are here on earth (although I'm assuming the former explanation).

Also, is it safe to assume we're going to be seeing more 3p moles in SF?
