I'm a systems analyst. It was pretty exciting to get the email from the Capitol saying PLEASE PROCEED TO YOUR DISTRICT

I was like, ahhhh!

Yeah, I'm not sure what else is in store -- there's gotta be more, it'd be pretty lame to end it with just the badges.

So I was looking at the D5 Facebook page and there was an additional image, along side the banner for our group (see attached)
Do you guys have any thoughts? could someone run it through the picture decoder thing?

The image is from when thecapitol.pn first showed up. Instead of seeing the seal it was a garbled image, and when enough people had signed up the image cleared to the capitols seal and the website started working. All the district facebook pages had this as their image and when they are getting their DIPS the page is sorta "unlocked" and they get their proper seal.

Also thecapitol on facebook has created an event for the 74th hunger games!

District 4

District 4 just got the e-mails. I'm officially a canner.

I think that's like the lowest you can go for District 4.

Hopefully after enough people like the facebook pages, well see the images unscrambled like they did with the Capitol's web-site.

Now what?

All of the districts have received DIP's. I hope the real action is going to begin soon.

So there are some yellow highlighted words in the ticker on the site:


District token
weapons
white roses
refrain from picking them
BLIND ITEM
something massive in store
peacekeeper
73rd hunger games
Tracker jackers
Seneca Crane

Maybe these will push us a little further..? Maybe the PM's put these in here to tell us something? I could be grasping at straws too :-/

Its just been a little while since everyone got their badges.. Game time?

 Officially In

Not to mix metaphors, but the sorting hat put me into District 1. According to my DIP, I'm a Vintner. Ironic! I don't drink, so maybe that's why!

I'll have to look through the words more carefully. Perhaps they put together a message? Hmm. Need to think about that.

Looking for Clues
But am I looking all the wrong places?

As I'm looking through thecapitol.pn website, did anyone else look through the "other data" for more clues too?

So far not so much, there's a calendar noting I think when the badges were unlocked? Then there's ticker for the movie (156 days to go!). I also see a pie chart for I guess gross domestic product for the capitol. Funny- just like the book- the first four districts bring in more "valuable goods" to the capitol.

I also notice that under the chart that says "Tesserae Claimed By District" there's a live date underneath. Is it being constantly updated, I wonder? And if so, are we able to take out tesserae? Hmm!

I'm really impressed so far with the book/movie details being put in. So far the district with the largest number of tesserae is District 12, which fits with what we're told in the first book. There are 913,708 so far- does this stand for a real number or something I wonder? District 1 has the lowest 1,748 tesserae which also fits.

Hope this action keeps up!

*EDITED TO ADD*

Hmm, found some screencaps from another website of the "live data" and at least since Oct. 5, the tesserae amounts haven't changed yet. Maybe in the future!

Well this arg is going nothing like I`d expected so far.
I looked for clues in all the same places that you guys are, but it seems to me like nothings there:(
I downloaded the flash from thecapitol.pn when it first opened up. The Tesserae claimed is just built in and not actualy "live". They did update it to show larger numbers when they updated the sites flash.
It's the same with the news ticker, built in and not live. It's been updated too and I can't remember what the yellowed words were before the update.
Looking for clues like this doesn't seem to be this games style though... and i really wish it were Sad I want to look for clues!

All the district pages on facebook have posted this message in the past couple days:
District XX PN Wear your District seal with pride! Upload a photo and show your fellow citizens how you define "District Pride." Creativity and uniqueness will be rewarded... May the odds be ever in your favor.

Yeah... Seems that is our current task? Sigh.
Anyone going to participate? lol!

Also, the recruiters on twitter were posting a link to a mibbit chatroom for people to discuss the game, here is the link.

My guess of how this will play out is that there will be a virtual reaping, and some of us will be picked as tributes. Just like they picked district recruiters. The rest of us will keep track of the events of the Hunger Games through twitter. We will have to support our tributes just like in the books. I doubt there will be clues to decypher like in other ARG's.
