As it says in the first letters, I'll "be careful" from here on in.


So the real Melvin is warning us.... the good kinda warning or bad?

 		I went back over everything that has been presented to us so far, and I just noticed something from the first email that Melvin sent to everyone: the first letters of the sentences spell out WATCH OUT. It looks like he was trying to warn us even from the start that something was amiss. I'd say that this probably gives credence to the notion that Mel and Sel are one and the same. At the same time, WATCH OUT probably isn't bad advice, either...

Lol, still, we basically noticed it at the same time Very Happy

I agree with what you said above, seems he was trying to warn us, even back then.

 		And maybe this is just reading to far into it, but on the hijacked screen The G and U are highlighted as the first two letters... maybe that is the code/cipher that the Underground uses? If so that would make Melvin a part of the Underground

 		Melvin and Selvin
Hmmm...
So we have a hidden "watch out message" in the first auto-response email to us from Melvin.

We also have an alter ego, Selvin, hijacking the site that Melvin is running.

We also have the same form of hidden message from Selvin that Melvin sent us.

Selvin's twitter account lists Melvin as the the primary name.

Seems to me that Melvin IS Selvin. And that he is secretly trying to stymie the launch of purity towers....for reasons that will be apparent as the roll out happens during this next week.

 		There has gotta be a code with the 1776 question...

"1776 this reached London. Tell me what it is."

My guess since Melvin seems to be using the same code in the emails, the answer need to be converted and then added to the website like before as well .... have tried 'declaration'... but nothing

EDIT: And I am NOT a code guy... as was made painfully obvious earlier... LOL!

 		Just to further prove the theory of Melvin being our man on the inside, I sent the following to the puritytowers address:

Quote:
Melvin,

Won't Party leaders be somewhat displeased if the Purity Towers launch does not go as planned? Having put so much into it, I can't imagine that they would be thrilled about any disruption. Evidence of such jealousy from this "Underground" cannot be cause for celebration! Rather, I would think that Party leaders might see it as a call to action. Events such as this must proceed at all costs, no?

This situation seems grave indeed. Our thoughts are with you as you work to remedy the damage done by the envious Underground.

Nevertheless, I am quite certain that the site is in good hands with you, Melvin. Obviously, you know exactly what you are doing. Whatever can be done to assist you, please advise me as to aid that I might offer.

~Thank you for your diligence in reading

-case


A response to this would be fantastic, and hopefully nudge us in the right direction.
