Happy happy joy joy!! The game really seems to be on the move now!
The thing i think i love about the new site is that I will can read it at work and it looks as though I am reading any other online news site...superb!
Doesn't look like we can subscribe for the rest of the site yet - see here . And possibly we need to get hold of some PCL before we can do so!
So yeh.....much fun to be had.

Here's a question. it's sort of rhetorical at this point. The question is simple enough. How often is the "external Edition" updated? The 'about' page says it is a daily newspaper. But that doesnt mean the version we see will be updated daily. Or maybe it will. (wouldnt that be impressive tho?)
I'm thinking it will probably only be updated at certain intervals. This begs the question: WHO is doing the updating? Presumably sente. The 'Kiteway Unfit' article says Earth is only percievable by people at the academy, which means this external edition is presented fFor our benefit alone, outside of the scope of the rest of Perplex City.

[SPEC]
Well, there is mention of 28 March from Nuru's publicist : ""These allegations are completely false, and we trust that Nuru will be restored to his place in the competition upon appeal." A hearing on the affair is scheduled for March 28."
This is in reference to the investigation into Nuru's use of "cognitive enhancers" (SPEC - Ceretin??)
Perhaps we'll have an update on 28 March (which would make it a more-or-less weekly update)

could this mean that Sente has altered the page from it's original format in PPC. How do we know they have a internet. Can we really expect people from a parallel world to use HTML code. perhaps the reason it's taken so long to prepare for the cubes retrival is that every piece of communication has to be made compatible with our world and it's unique technology.

I hope its updated frequently! how fustrating that you can't subscribe yet!
I think its safe to assume that Sente has some how transferred the PC Sentinal into HTML, as it would seem that some if not all of the people who are not linked with the academy seem to be dubious even of earths existance!! Although in the video (www.perplexcity.com) It does talk about the similarities between our cultures!! Who can be sure of anything yet?
and I know its probably irrelevent but £1 stirling = 150 Perplex city Lecks? maybe?
And by the way PCBC (the advertised bank) is defo not at PCBC.com

Anyone noticed that the background of the banner is of the postcard we got. If Sente sent the postcard then the spec that he is maybe running or forwarding the sitte could be on the mark.
EDIT: I also just noticed another obvious link, The site is called the (Sent)inel and our guy is called Sente too

where the LECK did you get that from? approximated from the prices of subscriptions?
anyway, about registering and subscriptions, see my post on the first page of this thread, i think that explains it all.
and no, i don't think that the pm-s will have us spend our money on Lecks- come on, where do you want to get exchange? i mean - go into the bank, and say "Hi, could you change me some Lecks?" ?! and again - we didn't have to spend our money on the pm-s. papers, alright [we hardly bought them, anyway], but that wouldn't wander into the pms' pockets. and this money certainly would. no. i think we won't need to get Lecks. there'll have to be some other way.

I can see it now you've said it!!. It would then make sence that it is indeed being forwarded by our pal sente, but if that was the case, why hasn't he given us subscribers privilages? lol. We also have to look at the possibility though that it is mearly very famous artwork and coinsidently is used as the sentinals banner!

maybe the login on the paper is a certain 24 digit code...

Reading the sports coverage link from the front page, I think that sports in Perplex City are mental challenges - puzzles or something like that. The guy that has been suspended "did place fifth in the Conundrum category", and someone else had been caught using "cognitive enhancement markers".
I think we may well be able to get our hands on some lecks later on by competing and winning some prize money.
I wonder if caffine is banned!

Innes ran the paper at a loss for the first 10 years of production, mainly owning to the large-scale puzzle contests he personally bankrolled
from http://www.perplexcitysentinel.com/about/
This kind of explains why Sente and the others are pretty open to the fact its a arg,,
It would appear the people of Perplex City are greatly impressed by puzzles and games (hence a whole section on the sentinel) and believes we are aswell. Openly using the puzzle/game method to use us to help find the cube is pretty neat
