 		[UPDATE] Sentinel Letters (1 April)
The Letters Section of the Sentinel has been updated. The most important new letter is the last one:

Quote:

I am writing in response to your recent editorial piece "Kiteway Unfit for Office." In my view, as so often before, both the article and the headline exposed Sentinel-characteristic attitudes, revealing lazy, extraordinarily trite thinking. "Kiteway in Trouble," "Earth is over-rated," and other similar articles of recent months simply underline the Sentinel's lack of interest in one of the issues of greatest importance to the city.

This omission might have been forgivable in the past, but not now that that Earth has become so significant to us. We know the Cube is over there and soon we might be able to communicate with them individually! Instead of passing it off as just another fad, surely it's time for the Sentinel to devote some heavyweight journalistic resources and analysis to investigating the people of Earth?

Anyone who is willing to engage in an open and fair debate on this topic is welcome to contact me at [URL deleted].

Scarlett Kiteway


Thinking that this is probably related to the "scarlet" acrostic in the masthead, I listed the first letters of each word in the letter. I got: iawirtyrepkufoimvasobtaathescarlettkiteioraosaormsutsloiiootiogittc
tomhbfitpbnnttehbsstuwktciotaswmbatcwtiiopioajafsitftstdshjraatitpoe
awiwteiaoafdottiwtcmaud

Thescarlettkite.com is a real address.

 		Darn it you beat me to it! Good find though! And one t or two seem to both work.

Just sent her an e-mail, we'll see if I get anything back.

edit:

Here's the response, I'm assuming its an autoreply:

Quote:
Hi! Thanks for writing to me. I've been receiving so many emails lately, I'm not going to be able to reply to them all, but I will be reading every one Smile

Love,

Scarlett.

 		Good find! It's looking legit, but could always be an April Fool's joke. Whois showing it's registered through GoDaddy, and we see the infamous Domainsbyproxy there. Look familiar?

EDIT: It's also hosted on the same server as the Sentinel

I will, I can get my head around when it is, and when it isn't.

 		The url works with or without a 't', and with or without 'the'.

And even though it's on this day, it seems legitimate! The art is consistent with the rest of the game, and the url info is actually on the Sentinel page.

So they're playing a similar game over in PPC. An ARG to find the cube just like us? And the two games are coming together? Question Exclamation

I can't cope. I think my brain is going to implode.

Just in case some news station covers it?

It would be neat if the game play goes even there, though.

And you only *thought* the Unfiction bit about posts on unfiction now being in-game was an April Fool's Joke. Wink
