 		[TIAG] What if...
... the Cube was destroyed?
Hi all... this is my first post. Most likely my next will be in a Cube Hunt subforum asking something along the lines of "how the hell do you start with three years of information to catch up on?"

But in the mean time -- I was discussing this game with a few friends and coworkers, and they raised some interesting points. What if a nonplayer were to inadvertently find the cube and keep or destroy it? What if a malicious player were to find and destroy it? This might even be a valid ingame question as well -- what would the Perplexians do? I'm sure this has been asked before, but I didn't see a post about it on the first page, so I thought I'd ask.


Also -- I'm allowed to Stick a topic? Wierd... seems like a mod-only power to me.

We there good and bad news here. the bad news is that the cube has almost/may have been found. so caching up is a bit academic at the moment. Sad

But there good news. Smile That is Perplex city 2 will be starting on the 1st of March so i just start from there if your what to get into it from a easy point.

I did notice that, in a few threads on these forums and others, after I posted this topic.

Where do you see this information? I've apparently got really good timing... I should be able to just read and digest information for a while until Season Two starts.

(I also noticed there isn't a specific "cube hunting" forum, and I can't think of a better place to post this, so...)

Where can I find info on what the card solves have led to? I've seen lots of lowres card scans and transcriptions as well as the solves themselves, but is there a compilation about what information the solves have provided?

EDIT: Oh, and what about the sections of the Sentinel that are blocked due to an inability to verify a subscription status? I tried subscribing, but it takes me to the same page. Do all players experience this?

 		The wiki should have loads of info on what has been solved, and where it all leads. I'd recommend that as a good starting point at least.

Re The Sentinel: As we are on Earth, we get limited access to The Sentinel. Those parts which require subscriptions can only be accessed by Perplexians using their keys (apparently, Von said "those on Earth should think of them as a combination of: 'a phone, a TV, a video, a computer, a stereo, an MP3 player, a bank card, a passport, a house key...' and some other things he couldn't think of a good analogy for.")

There was an eBay auction for a Season 2 box whose text looked like a press release, and it listed the release date as March 1. There are a lot of vague hints that Season One is ending within a month, but Mind Candy has not confirmed anything yet (though we expect something big to happen today!).

Additionally, when I saw that auction I contacted every store and distributor I knew of and asked them if March 1st was the day. All but one confirmed it as March 1st. Jaffasworld said April 1st, but they were quoting information that they received in December. The others had more current information (last Wednesday - Friday).
