 		And guess what? Someone from menoftaste.com seems to have posted on a wired thread about FOIA: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/04/dear-dod-please/
Quote:

Hello Paul,
Would it be possible to arrange copying of your DVDs? I am coincidentally in search of such materials for university research. I do not have time remaining for FOIA request processing. I could compensate you for these gladly.
My e-mail is merchants[AT]menoftaste.com

***META WARNING - SPOILERED!!!***

First row center of the home page:

What's interesting is that the above was discovered because I searched for "menoftaste.com", which no longer appears.

They did post in an OLDER thread that is no longer there, titled "Chicks-Slavic, Scandi, or Latina?"

Hi there, PMs!

Theory: they worked on "Frenzied Waters", and now they're doing one on their own. This is a "proof of concept". These production values sure look good on a resume, no?

 		*** META ***
Wow, tonight has been meta night, hasn't it?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


To the PMs: I'm damn impressed. Nighthawk and I made finding you into a meta game and it was the most fun I've had in a while. Kinda sad if you think about it, eh?

Thought process brain dump: http://pastebin.com/m263f002b
Christ.


Everyone else: keep playing and have fun! Read all the spoilers if you want a nice peek behind the curtain.

 		 skeptical still
No big offense Nighthawk, but I find your powers of deduction on this one a bit wanting.

Just because this company menoftaste.com was posting in a popular design forum which the Junsui Project was later featured on by this chapter3 guy (who appears to be an editor) you think he is the PM?

In searching for clues I have actually seen the site featured on a few design blogs (e.g. http://styleboost.com/ ) and advertising tweets these past few days. Does that mean they are all PMs? Razz Wink

Actually, this is big enough that they might be!

EDIT: Another crucial bit of information that was overlooked on that same WHOIS is the technical contact address.

(Not sure if this is IG or OOG at this point)


WHOIS:

Quote:
Men of Taste
500 Brightwater Ct
#502
Brooklyn, New York 11235
United States
+1.3474014205

Men of Taste appear in the Whois information of alfa-tsentr.ru, they have the same logo as on the alfa-tsentr webpage and Alexander Dubrovin told Nighthawk that Junko has been captured by terrorists !?

For me this seems that Men of Taste is more IG than OOG. But I never played a similar game like this where the border of IG and OOG was so blurred.

 		Great Job, everyone (also in Meta level). Your brainstorming is just genial!

Note for me: when Google Waves will come, we can make our meta discussions in a very great ways!

And also I have admit that christenberrys concerns about relationship between the games sounds very reasonable. I found myself also often beeing about to connect two various projects, misleadin by some similiar hints or places where these projects are mentiones together. But anyway, who knows?..

So, at mennoftaste.com there is this sign:

named "paleo-pechat.png".

In Russian, "pechat" is for stamp. And Paleo - this sounds interesting, since it is for "ancient".
Reading about double-headed Eagle I have more and more doubts, it's - even in this context - an old Russian monarchy symbol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle

But most significant thing should be the swastika alike seal on this Eagle. I'm trying to decrypt it.

And: the image is .png. Am I only one who is thinking about steg with mosaiq? Has anybody tried to find in this image a code?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Meta.
About the design of a seal, perhaps I've found its designer:
http://profkilljoy7z.deviantart.com/art/Preacher-T-shirt-design-130038814


Another question: after Alfa-Tsentr, also in menoftaste.com there is this meta tag:

Code:
meta name="verify-v1" content="Z7MhNtCiU1cTEvJM+sTXQRn3roPZX6a+utKGFDvl7Uc="


Does somebody know, what is it for? I tried to decrypt it with base64, no result yet.

Oh yes, definitely! Thank you.
I'll look whether the signs have some significance.

That's why it's "paleo-pechat" = "Palailogos Seal"

children
progesterone
quiescence
? (toward)
social stability
? (end)

Progesterone also known as P4 (pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy (supports gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species.

Quiescence may refer to:

* The G0 phase of a cell in the cell cycle; quiescence is the state of a cell when it is not dividing
...In behavioral neuroscience or zoology, quiescence refers to a behavior where an animal is vigilant but relaxed and immobile.

perhaps this is gonna turn into a Xenogears-type thing (if anybody's played it I'm referring to the Miang cycle, Ourobouros and genetic memory)

perhaps one of these companies is trying to re-awaken some dormant code in female dna?
