Yeah, I saw that we did it at the same minute - but the 5:35 stamp on mine was from an edit! Very Happy Your title is better, tho.

Thanks for posting the number to call. I got the call, but my phone died before I could actually take it. I should really remember to charge it more often...

I didn't know which thread to post this in, so I'll just use this one. Has anyone else noticed something interesting about one of the questions? "If you were told that Harvey Dent was hospitalized for mental illness, how interested would you be?"






Very.

Yea, that was the line that got me. Looks like they are going with the Big Bad Harv angle...or that could all be a red herring such as the "hasn't paid his taxes" question.
The call actually woke me up, too, but I've still yet to not get excited when I get a call from the number showing all zeros. I'd like to see how this poll works in conjunction with Gordan's e-mail.
I think what this game's getting across, story wise, is how much of a mess Gotham really is as far as the conventional means of governing a city.

I have wondered about that, and though this is the only evidence I have found to back it up. I kinda thought it would have been cool is if the way Dent talked down Notaro at the hostage situation was by:

Notaro: "Dent, get outta here, what're ya doin'? Come closer an' I'll shoot her!"

And to take a line from the Animated Series:

Dent: "One problem... you're talkin' to the wrong Harv." Punch, kick, break-face.

Again, I don't have any evidence as they would have mentioned if Notaro had the crap beaten out of him. The only thing is this mention of possible mental illness.

I don't think this has any significance below the surface. There are robocalls like this during lots of campaigns. Notice it didn't make any allegations outright, but you now have mental institutions and corruption and tax evasion associated in your mind with Harvey Dent. They have the same kind of fake polls in real elections.

To be honest I think Harvey is meant to be whiter than white right now, as far as we're concerned.
I think the phone call was a puzzle anyway, reasons why and the solution are in spoiler brackets.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'll put this in spoilers, because I dont know whether this has been solved here or not, but putting in a certain combination of numbers brings up a message which appears to attach this survey to the smear campaign, a message directed to those involved. I think it was hidden on the Concerned Citizens for Gotham page somewhere (the code that is. It's also on the wikibruce as well as the message itself.) So it leads me to disbelieve what the survey was inferring.


If that's already come up so far on uF feel free to trout me to Kingdom Come.
