Wave 4 - Tiny microscopic writing found on Silver Right this is real small writing on the Silver boader of card #237 Roaming Identity
and says
"otpaaworldtdnia 1.56.29"

Congrates Mattyjh for being super observant. Shame you had no way of maynifying it to find out what it says
The search for more text is on....

If you can read that, then what about #097, 419 SCAM?
It has two patches which could be mini writing.

It all sounds a bit like this, doesn't it?
Rimmer: Er....what.. Captains message
Andy: The one in the microdot in the 'I' in Rimmers swimming certificate. That's the clue. Rimmer having a swimming certificate and he can't swim.
Rimmer: That's a clue !!!
Andy: A blatant clue isn't it.
Rimmer: A blatant clue to what.
Andy: A blatant clue to the truth behind Rimmer.
Rimmer: Which is ......
Andy: The truth to why he is such an insufferably pratt.
Rimmer: That's because of his parents, his upbringing, his background. The fact that he was never loved.
Andy: He was a hand picked special agent for the space corp and had his memory erased and was programmed to behave like a complete twonk so nobody would suspect he was on a mission to destroy Red Dwarf in order to guide Lister to his destiny as the creator of the second universe.
Off to find my magnifier and examine my (single) Wave 4 Silver. Well done on the find...

I don't see anything suspicious on my two wave 4 silvers, 253 (Sightseeing) and 254 (Escape) though I don't have a magnifying glass handy to check in detail.
I also checked my 240 (Elucidate), since it's part of the same set as 237, but didn't see anything there either. That said, it is a wave 0.5 one, so things may have changed since.

Right I've looked through my 30x Microscope and can see nothing on 419
Thick black line under Perplexcity logo.
To the far
left
right, just a line made up of colour ink dots
Hope this helps

The far left? I meant the one underneath the points.

Thanks!
I spent about 30 minutes squinting at it trying to figure out what it said but knew I needed a proper magnifying glass or something!
I remembered mind candy saying about using mincroscopic writing in some of their cards (I think everyone started desperately looking in the "shuffled" border) and so I thought I'd have a peek at the new silvers!
Seems there are a lot more clues in the new wave!

I'll try and get a labelled version but you can actually see where the text is on the scan in the card topic. If you look in the left hand border in the middle, half way up the card, it's just a faint grey line.
The text on the card itself (i.e not on the scan) is big enough to make out that its text, and not a smudge, but small enough so that you can't actually read it without a magnifying glass!
I think it would be pretty difficult to get an actual scan of it and it might be against the rules...
Someone suggested it as a postcode... although I think the full stops may indicate its something else... maybe a book chapter or passage reference?

Hahahaha! I've thought about this passage loads of times since I started playing Perplex City, and especially once it became clear that there were Risk references everywhere!
Worth looking at the thread for the card #237 too, there are thoughts on the writing on that.

EDIT - Well done JayJay for getting 2nd spot with no hints!

OK, agent Lex disagrees with me, but i'm thinking that 011-Revelation has tiny chinese/japanese characters on the top, and a few other cards from all 4 waves look like they could say something. *squints* yep!

I see SOMETHING, I'm not sure what though (btw, what version is your on?, mine is 0.5)

As I said in the other thread, to me it looks like miniature versions of the main image on the card.
(in case it matters, mine's not a wave0.5)
