It's called the 'internet', I think.

Crikey. On the same note as above, but only about 5% as insighful;

THinking about the views from the roof on the programme last nigth - it doesn't really seem to fit with the buildings in that area.

I'll go and check it out on Wednesday; I'm at a meeting on the next street then!

In the guardian article it claims that MCHQ is in south london, whereas the address that is registered there is out to the west.

In which case, either 1) the address shown is not that of MCHQ, or 2) the guardian reporter was asked to lie about the location.

tbh, I don't think we should try to find the HQ, as i certainly don't think that is an In Game objective and additionally it will probably just mean that if we did locate it, they would be forced to move the HQ somewhere else, thus slowing the game down even more!

that address is probably just a mail room that would forward to their actual location. I'd go with it being in South West London seeming as thats where the parcels were posted from.

I don't think finding MC HQ is a bad idea. Assuming someone figures out where they are, I see two possible outcomes:

Team UnFiction Member knocks on office door. It's opened by a MC employee.

Team UnFiction Member: Hi, I'm looking for the cube. Do you have any clues you can give me?

Outcome 1:
MC Employee: No, sorry. Sente was really particular about how he wanted the search to go. He says the PCA has done studies on this type of thing, and they say that the best way for people of Earth to find the cube is to slowly release information and puzzles. Then when there aren't any more puzzles and clues to release, our minds will be properly conditioned to make the logical jumps required to actually find the cube.

TUFM: Oh, okay. Thanks anyway.

Outcome 2:
MCE: Actually, we have some PPC artifacts / physical clues / maps / stuff we don't/won't have time to put on the internet that we need to get out. If you could help us by promising to make sure everyone finds out about it, I'll let you have it.

TUFM: Anything to help find the cube.

Even if we find their place and get outcome 1, I don't think they'll be all that upset. If they really don't want us to bother them, they can put a sign on their door telling all cube searchers to go away b/c everyone at MC is busy getting clues out to us so they don't have time to talk with us personally.

Well they both seemed coquettish, nay, come hither in the interview.

"They'll never find us. titter titter" Okay - not an exact quote but you get the idea.

What about this location? Try the south london link ... (Clapham)
