[D9] District 9 and Multi-National United (trailhead)

[sowasred2012]

just signed up for the email - it's pretty big and flashy, could be something good.

[Nighthawk]

Wow, nice site! The alien side of it is way intriguing.

Anyway, signed up as both species with separate email addresses.

Privacy policy has a link to another site:

and it's friggin creepy that they set this in South Africa, given that they probably just had to do a global word replace and add "non human" to some historical documents from that country.

It's a promo for a sci-fi film, District 9, due out next August. Judging by the info on the sites, the film is a feature-length version of the director's short Alive in Joburg.

wow, trixie little math aptitude test...

answered all the questions (uncertain about a couple)
always 9/10 right

ftr, these are the answers I used... been a while since highschool so some of my 'advanced' math is a bit shaky :
I'm not spoilering, because it does nothing in the end. It's just math equations...

1: 15
2: -1
3: 7
4: 5
5: 2
6: 100 (I forget the log formulas =/)
7: 0 and 8 (forget 'null set' - assumedly no answer)
8: (x+5)^2
9: 1,-2
10: totally forget

quality design IMO... on both initial sites.
signed up (and it's the same form on every site, even the maths one)

It's not a set ... set of questions. I tried twice and got different questions.

[thebruce]

ah, this would explain it...

went back to the page and wasn't able to re-take the test, it stored the previous results, which explains the consistent 9/10 correct. bah!
/me wants to clear cookies, but doesn't really want to either.

[madamimadam]

this looks really promising.. especially because the "privacy policy" says Sony Pictures owns the site..

[elvenkayt]

Wow, that is a really professional looking website. What a neat idea! I registered as a human. Though I may start a new email account strictly for a non-human character.

I can't wait to get started!

While looking around on the map on the Human side, I found an article on a convience store robbery. The picture showed some graffit. This website http://www.mnuspreadslies.com/ was part of the graffiti.

Now we need a way to decode that alphabet.

okay.. looks like aliens somehow made their way to earth, and were immediately put onto a reservation-type area called district 9 in north Johannesburg in south Africa. They apparently have no rights and are basically hated by humans. This is a result of propaganda put out by MNU, a large company that has reigned over technology for the past 20 yrs.
