Sorry noideaforausername. I just wanted to point something else out.

On the main page:
Quote:

and so we begin Truth. you thought it was tough before? just like in the real world, pretenders will be owned by real Colonies. real Colonies work to make us stronger, and work together to make us smarter.


To me, this would indicate that there will be many false trails to come. This Prince and Pauper revelation was somewhat alluded to by this passage on the main page. The "pretenders" or Tom Canty's will be owned by real Colonies.

I took the "pretenders" bit to mean colonies that had been cheating, and the fact that they will be owned was demonstrated by the fall of the hammer Smile

hehe, yeah, that's fair, i was just getting a bit tired with people reiterating the same stuff, but things that develop or lead elsewhere, no complaint.
and you can all call me sam, too:)

Tom Canty grew up in Offal Court. He lived a wretched life, and indeed, knew no other. Every morning Tom was sent off to beg. If he came home emty-handed, his father and his grandmother would soundly beat him. So, often, when the afternoon rolled around and the boy reckoned that he had begged enough to avoid a beating, he would race to Father Andrew's monestary for the remainder of the day. Over the months, good Father taught Tom how to read, gave him some intruction in Latin, and recited wondrous tales of royalty. And because of his education, intelligence and grace, Tom seemed far wiser than others his age. People would frequently come seeking his advice, despite his low station.

But it was the beggar boy's greatest wish to witness a real prince all decked out in his royal attire; and one January morning Tom obtained his wish. He journeyed to Charing Village, the site of the King's majestic palace, and, to his amazment, inside the fence he beheld a young boy his age - a true prince. As he drew closer and closer to observe the little gentleman, suddenly he was rudely snatched up by a soldier. The prince, Edward Tudor, saw this action and came to Tom's rescue, and afterward he invited the young pauper into the palace. So, the Prince of Poverty passed the palace gates to join hands with the Prince of Limitless Plenty.

Safely within the castle, the prince gave Tom some food. Soon they were comfortably chatting back and forth about their different families and opposite lifestyles. On a whim, Tom and Edward changed into each others clothes. And when they stared into the mirror, a miricle seemed to have happened: they appeared to be twins - the same hair and eyes, face and countenance, voice and manner. Then, while still in the changed garments, Edward noticed Tom's bruised hand and went out to reprimand the guard who had caused it. The soldier laughed at the waif's pretense to royal wrath, instantly tossed him out thegate. Tom Canty was now the new Prince of Wales and Edward became the prince of paupers.

ourcolony.net has been linked to newscientist.com in many ways, including my previously talked about discovery (pasted below):


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

im on to something

on the colony page it says "ready for more secrets?


if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward

(to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error)"

someone posted the log http://www.ilovemyxbox.net/atm22.htm and it said about searching alex rosen, and finding the site newscientist.com...if you search alex rosen on that site you get a really weird thing about chaos etc....now i saw the "err" thing on ourcolony.net so i decided to search it in the search query...i got a few normal results...then these:

10. . . . . .
10 November 2001 From magazine issue 2316 Letters

14. Regrets, I've had a few...
Premium
31 March 2001 From magazine issue 2284 Opinion

18. To err is human...
Premium
...but a new generation of silicon chauffeurs is preparing to take to the road
20 February 1999 From magazine issue 2174 This Week

19. Ooops...sorry

There's a part of your brain that goes crazy whenever you drop a clanger, says Kathryn S. Brown. It's obviously trying to tell you something
13 February 1999 From magazine issue 2173 Features

20. To err is human
Premium
28 November 1998 From magazine issue 2162 Review

now the really amazing thing is this: some of those search results say "to err is human..." i clicked on on of the links that said this and the arcticle that came up says this (bloded important)

. . . . .

A recent experience with the airline British European proved rather more awkward than Quail's, when I was allocated seat 17A on a recent flight from Leeds to Belfast. Unfortunately the seating stopped altogether at row 14, proving once again that to err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer.
From issue 2316 of New Scientist magazine, 10 November 2001, page 55


err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer??? sounds like "(to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error)"

hmmm...do we have yet another link from ourcolony.net to newscientist.com?

try it! go to http://www.newscientist.com/home.ns and at the top type err... scroll down a bit and read all the strange and out of place articles...now to find out what it means by "if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward"...maybe a scientist that posted an article on the website?? hmmm...
_________________________________________________________
i made anothe link to newscientist.com from ourcolony.net IN THE SAME RIDDLE......google "misled by the error" (from the riddle "ready for more secrets?
if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward
(to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error)")

the first entry was a posting from newscientist.com!!!! this may be ABSOLUTLY NOTHING and just luck...but cummon! how can three different things from the exact same website all link to newscientist.com in a mysterious way?? it's a longshot, but hey! at least im going for the longshots in this game
