[SPEC] Getting Secrets to the SP

In the updated contactme page, SP says she wants us to use images to slip her secret info that we're her friends (some sort of sign). Melissa wants us to take pictures this coming Axon Tuesday, since on recipe5 she says to bring digital imaging capability. So we use /those/ pictures to sneak secret friend stuff to the SP.

Plausible?

Down right likely really. But I'm interested in where she'll have us send the picks so they make it to her.

well the queen asked for us to take digital pictures. i think we just email them to the queen and the flea will intercept the ones with the hidden messages.

Where to send pictures

The Hotmail address is the most likely place, but it will sure fill up fast. Maybe FTP access will be opened on ilovebees.com. I'm more concerned about the time scale. My local Axon is 30-45 minutes away. If I have to upload a picture within the hour, I'm going to be scrambling.

You could all hold a sign saying "HI MOM PRINCESS" (notice the strike ). That would get her attention

Yes! Yes! With red balloons. I like it, I like it!

Actually, I think she wants us to imbed files and messages into our pictures just like the she does with the pictures on the web site.

I like the red baloons idea though.

Going against the 'embedded images within images', why would she want us to arrive at these axons with digital imaging capabilities? It seems to me like we'll have to snap a pic of something at the location that has some sort of meaning and then shoot it off. God bless camphones.

but if we hide info in the pictures do you think Melissa would notice distortion? blame it on crappy 21st centry techology? poor hardware? dancing robots?

If we assume the secret message to the SP should be the same in all/most of the pictures we give to Melissa, I'm thinking it has to be something very simple and something everyone around the country can do quickly and unobtrusively. Any sort of comon graphic or sticker will be hard to put together for everyone, so I think letters or words should be used if we go the route of a physical message in the image. Why not a post-it note with the letters "SP" stuck to the phone or the phone booth?

I really like the idea of someone holding red balloons in the pictures. That way the SP will know that those pictures mean something special to her, and for her to look in them.
Now we just have to agree on what message we want to send the SP.

This is awsome! It's like a reverse puzzle for the PMs. Or something. Razz

I like the red balloon idea. But how do we tell the Princess what to look for? She might not know that the red balloons are the secret sign.

Edit: Stupid question...
