Hmm. "Always to have lessons to learn" in base 64 encryption, printed on the front (vertically?) in black and white?

Because "QWx3YXlzIHRvIGhhdmUgbGVzc29ucyB0byBsZWFybg==" is so catchy.

Just a quick note that we may want to be careful of copyright issues here... Even though we're not dealing with a "company" here as far we know, the PMs might not be too jazzed about us using "in-game" stuff, and we don't know exactly where the whole game is headed in terms of possible marketing, etc. (For example, they may be planning on selling t-shrits designed on the game, but they may want to wait until it's over).

It's probably not an issue, but it's just something I wanted to point out.

Or just share the designs now and wait until the game is over, giving the PM's the choice of selling their own T-shirts when the curtain is raised to make some money back..

Yeah... I agree with you there Eshan. I think we'll be fine as long as we don't just go get the Metacortex logo embroidered on golf shirts or something... thats probably a breach of copyright. Smile

I'd be happy to wear an "I survived the Metacortex Conspiracy" t-shirt...

Just a thought though: golf shirts/ polo shirts might be a good idea for those of us who can't wear raglan tees to work, but still want to advertise our obsession.

Who is doing fashion design here? We're bound to have one or two people... god knows we've got everyone else here... Very Happy

No Metacortex ARG T-shirt collection would be complete without a "Release your Inner Dolphin" t-shirt.

I heart Wongmo.

Can I suggest a logo for those of us that don't heart Wongmo? Wink

How about "Find your Inner Dolphin... In a can between the Tuna and Salmon in aisle three"?

Huh?

Huh? Catchy aint it?

How about if all proceeds were donated to charity?

I can almost guarantee that none of the PMs would have a problem with that (surely not...) if no-one was actually turning a profit from their hard efforts.

My vote would be for Amnesty, personally.

That way all we'd have to dance around is commercial-strength copyright, like the Metacortex logo, or Matrix references.

Black T-shirt with plain white lettering (think "got milk")

On the front: "FIND THEM"
On the back: "heismissing.info
sheismissing.info"

OR

Front: "Who is James Avery?" (or Ethan/Ryan, whatever)
Back: "heismissing.info"
And possibly the pic on the page
