 		I've tried several different combinations of "Declaration of Independence" in the URL, encoded and unencoded, to no avail. I've also sent an email to Selvin:

Quote:
The Declaration of Independence arrived in London in 1776. Are you making a Declaration of your own, Selvin?

-case


This generated no auto-response email, so I suppose it's wait time again.

 		Maybe we should tweet Selvin the Declaration thing, though I'm sure the email case sent will work.

5 minutes ago from web


It says: On this day, news of the Declaration of Independence reached London.

Edit: I sent the same in code to both accounts, since it really seems like Smelvyn is one person (the puritytowers one just gave me the old autoresponse. But, I am playing catchup before coffee, so I might be imagining they are the same person. *shakes her fist at smelvyn*

Edit 2: I also think that @melvinsmith is oog, but followed him anyway, just for hecks.

comment: do not mess with your system clock. it will screw up your entire morning.

 		Case said:

Quote:
Used the code:

http://puritytowers.com/71815209114.html

And in the source for this page:

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

Declaration of Independence, maybe?


Great Work!!

I too think it has to be the Declaration but some other things caught my eye as well as happening in 1776 and with the Grotian references am still thinking philidsophical:

from: http://www.historyorb.com/events/date/1776

Jan 10th - "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, published

Mar 9th - Publication of the economics book "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.

May 1st - Adam Weishaupt founds secret society of Illuminati


Hehehe... had to throw that last one in....fnord! LOL!!!

EDIT: And after recieving the New e-mail from Melvin Smith... I guess you guys were right above in saying that that 'Selvin Myth' is a part of the Grotian Underground mocking his name...

 		So, I wonder if Grotian Underground was once part of Purity Towers, and has "declared independence" from them, or something.

I think that's right because it is suggested by the GU logo with the tree growing/branching out from a brain.

 		Sorry for the vague post earlier; the email that I sent was to grotiangateway@gmail, which is the Selvin address. I didn't think it would be prudent to make contact through "official" Party channels, so I avoided the puritytowers address.

And thanks, Syncopal. It certainly appears that all signs right now are pointing towards revolution or revolt, doesn't it? I'm definitely hooked already; here's hoping that my first ARG is as engrossing as it seems to be!

Best wishes, Jane. Even as I tackle this web problem, I am receiving an influx of supportive messages.

Celebrations for Purity Towers are still planned. Anyone who is interested in more information will definitely get responses on Monday. Rest assured that you are not being ignored! Every citizen is looking forward to this week. Future updates will be sent as soon as they are possible. Understand, please, that this snag is simply a minor setback caused by what we believe to be pranksters. Looking forward to getting to know you better!


Okay, I'm sorry I shook my fist at you, honey. *makes nice* As it says in the first letters, I'll "be careful" from here on in.

 		You can trout me if this has already been said, but going back to the first email (the mailing list one) that we got, the first letters spell "WATCH OUT"
