And ourcolony.blogspot got updated almost the same time to "to forgive divine" or whatever.

So what are the odds that gamem8ker trying to prove its a real site, or that the person running that blog is trying REALLY hard to seem authentic?

the linking and references in this seem to be more subtle, being that they're clues and hints, rather than objectives to decipher (a-la ilovebees), but i'd still hold out for a direct link from ourcolony before taking it as gospel truth

99% agreed. Its way too easy for someone to set up one of these accounts for the purpose of misinformation. I just thought I'd point out the relative speed with which they both were updated, relevantly to each other, apparently.

yeah, i'll agree with you there. it'd be quite a determined hoax. i guess it's one of those things that will come out in the course of time?

So anyway, it's Tom Canty, what does that mean, does it lead us anywhere? didn't this start with us looking and finding a Caty/Canty in our midst?

character from Prince and the Pauper, i think on page 3 of this thread.
i'm taking it to mean that the gamem8ker on AIM that people are chatting to, is an impostor (possibly the blogspot, too?).
or at least that everything is not as it seems

coffeefilms, as mentioned further up, Tom Canty is a character in The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, as is Edward (as in Henry VIII's son).

So all the earlier speculation is moot since the PM errored. And once again we have a fairly straight forward hint.

ready for more secrets?
if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward


Tom Canty and Edward are from the Prince and the Pauper to summarize for everyone:
Tom and Edward look the same.
Tom is poor
Edward is the prince
They change places

So the hint is that we will uncover somone/somthing that looks like what we are looking for but is the wrong one, is a fake, isn't as good as the real one?

is it similar to the "when you are talking to me you aren't?" line?

So we aren't supposed to be looking to for the real truth, we're playing a game of spot the fake...at least, thats what it sounds like.

i'd just say the gamem8ker is telling us that the 'truth' we think we have (talking to him on AIM?), isn't the real truth, but an impostor.

without actually saying "hey, guys, it's not me, kthx"

that'd kinda ruin the mood

There's a number of other possible gamem8kers so it's not really that simple....hmmm

Unless none of them are the "real" Gamem8ker.
