After reading back in the thread and doing some research I guess that symbol for men of taste is the seal of the Palaiologos Dynasty. Sort of backs up my idea about men of taste being part of the Russian Oligarchy. The symbol in the middle of the seal of the dynastic cypher, but I cant for the life of me find anywhere that tells what it means. Not really sure if that would be relevant.

So what is this supposed thread connecting the meta? I'm a bit slow tonight and this PDF is pretty dense.

Alright, so ive read everything on this forum and on 58.

Here is what I gather so far.

Everything is very linear. One thing leads to the next in the story.

Junko messages everyone
Seteny messages and calls us bastards
Junko disappears
Junko reappears with the NSE site
Site leads to Japan new health, but also provides a creepy flash file that gets "hacked"
Going back to the site, you get the error message
error message leads you to fake google and tells you to search by a name
fake google search the enemy, you get the name
fake google search alfa tsentr and get the video feed
redirected to facebook fan page.

After that it kinda gets blurred as to what the next logical step is. As aforementioned, everything before this is very very linear in motion. One thing leads tot he next. The Junsui page though DOES talk a lot about oligarchs and how they are going to resist. You whois the alfa-tsentr page and get Men of Taste (Oligarchs?)... going to men of taste, fancy that, just a link to Alexander Dubrovins email. Which lead to the transcript that The Junsui are actually terrorists. Here you learn Junkos image is not real, she is just an advertisement personality that these terrorists identity theived.

I think the whole thing with Patrick and him being in danger was just kinda to throw you back into the game... a weak attempt at saying "hey, im not really the PM, just keep playing... here is some stuff to make you think this shit is real." I did find it a little bit creepy though that the junsui pretty much predicted the attack in the north caucus region.




Sofar here is how I believe the story pans out.

The men of taste want these perfect women... probably for sex or brides perhaps even for breeding or racial purity reasons. They hire the Japanese company to create the perfect women. Being very rich russian oligarchs, they have access to lots of money to pay for the process, and probably own the military company Alfa-Tsentr to carry it out. The Junsui is a sisterhood of pure women... in an area hotly contested (chechnya, georgia, north caucus region.) It wouldnt be too outlandish to think that there could be prisoners taken from these regions by the Russians. So, the Men of Taste use their military power to abduct the Circassian women to perform the japanese experiments on them at mt. yamawhateveritis. And really, who better to create perfect model women, than the Circassians? The Junsui knowing what is happening to their sisterhood are rebelling now...and they are resorting to extremist violence. They are getting people to join their plight. Committing terrorist acts. We (the gamer) are recruited by the Sisterhood to support them. Now, the Men of Taste are spinning it back stating they are dangerous terrorists and thats kinda where it... drops off. Perhaps an attempt at creating alternate paths to go? Choosing sides? Guess we will jsut have to wait.

Yes this is pretty much what I was getting at, I agree.

Men of Taste Symbol

The thing in the middle is a swastika on top of a helix, or half a chain of DNA.

Way to rip off Heroes, PM.

No that symbol is old, it was used by the aforementioned dynasty and the Byzantines. The rest of the stuff associated with it is in greek so it makes sense that the one symbol is a lambda, i just cant figure out the other one.

another interesting social note:

looks like people are more likely to comply with a group's request when the group is portrayed as an oppressed individual (putting a face on it, as it were) instead of a large faceless corporation
