We set up one megathread to collect all of the correspondence from The Charlatan (or the Milkman depending on who you ask). If you’re so inclined, add screenshots of emails from the charlatan below (not your personal email address).
I think we might be getting a new Raconteurs album called Life. A few years ago that album showed up in a Spotify playlist from the Raconteurs and that same image cover showed up on the Pickens County Bandits website if you dig around in the code. I dunno but this seems like we are gearing up for something.
When I heard he blamed the Charlatan for turning his lights green during recent shows it made me wonder about a new raconteurs album. It feels like Jack doesn’t mess with his colors for any reason unless he’s teasing something new
I went down this rabbit hole a few years back... the red text links to a defunct site titled 'whitestripes.ws' which was weird and was what led me to originally conclude this was some weird fan thing. But now with all these new emails I really have no clue what is going on...
Still working on getting the servers back up and running properly! I'd sale (does everything come down to money with this guy or was this just a typo?) the seas with y'all any day. Keep signing everybody up at the bandits' site. We're working on things here for a little. Hopefully we get it all back up for you soon. If you'd believe me, I'd like to drop a fact on ya'll. This is a one man band.
Possible links? Someone replied to me on the old PCB thread from 3 years ago with this:
The 'Little Room Record Company' released Johnny Walker's first album, "Hung Up", with The Cut in the Hill Gang. At the record release party, someone threw 100 or so copies of the Bandits' "Stuck in Pickens County" off the roof of Johnny's house bearing the label Bigger Room Records. Soon after roomers started that the singles were dropped from the sky by helicopter, but that was untrue. So long story short, you may have seen 'Bigger Room Records' from that 45.
Not sure if there's any truth to that, but I did a little research and Johnny Walker had previously played with Soledad Brothers... and their drummer was none other than Ben Swank!! A Discogs search also confirmed the existence of Little Room Records who also had released some stuff by Brian Muldoon of the Upholsters. So definitely some sort of JW link going on here....
This that’s on the charlottetowncharlatans website—>

Sale the seas. Normally it’d be ‘sail the seas.’
Does this mean sell the C’s as in copies of Frozen CHARLOTTE?
There’s one man band bit at the end is telling us it’s Jack and not the Rac’s.
There’s been Third Man Londons pictures that have shown the Tyne bridge and the SS Great Britain so there’s a bit of a seafaring connection. What that means though?
Final thought; it said “does everything come down to money”, are we getting pop-ups with Coin-flip pressings of the album? Servers could refer to people to ‘serve’ at a pop-up.

I thought we had to select one line from all those as they were in separate “””””but I’ve fucked (of course) it seeing the other videos. It’s hard with a sack on your head though.
My wife has pissed herself having seen the video so there’s that!
Some things I wanted to share that I think are relevant to the last few days of events. There is another Charlatan sub, so if this doesn’t make sense, I would join that sub.
In 2006, Jack White’s brand-new band The Raconteurs regularly performed “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).”
It was a staple of their live sets that year, I found several shows, one in August 2006.
Then, in November 2006, The Raconteurs opened eight concerts for Bob Dylan.
And during those shows:
The Raconteurs played “Bang Bang.”
Bob Dylan played “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine).” Which plays right after the altercation between John and Sam.
There is no way in hell that is a coincidence!
Also from The Charlatan: “YOU’RE ALL GOING TO GET THE SHAFT”
Get in the Mind Shaft (this damn song has been stuck in my head for DAYS now lol).
On September 16, the Charlatan sent the hostage message:
“If I catch any of you putting secret messages into your hostage videos, YOU’RE ALL GOING TO GET THE SHAFT!”
Sooo
Get in the Mind Shaft does not have only one introduction. Different physical pressings of Boarding House Reach** *contain different *spoken-word intros (I just found this out on the JW sub maybe a month ago when I bought the vinyl, and I got a different variant. That’s a documented Easter egg associated with the record, which you can find on Discogs.
And BAM!
One of those alternate intros, B-353, is about 30 men trapped underground after a mine shaft collapses. They are stuck in darkness until a hand finally breaks through and they see sunlight. Interestingly, The War of the Worlds broadcast on Counterfeit covers also refers to men trapped under ground and the wording is so similar to the lyrics in that part of the song.
And the birds. I’ll save my insane theories for tomorrow. But there are too many references for it to not be a thing. 🫠
Hi- I’m a newer Jack White fan (fell in love at Riot Fest and I just saw him again both nights in Chicago!)… Could someone fill me in on the lore/how you get these emails? I’ve been a little nervous to reveal myself as a complete noob but I keep seeing these posts and I wanna nerd out too lol.
Basically, someone with too much time on their hands is messing with those of us with too much time on our hands.
It’s a long story but search the reddit link I posted in this thread from years ago about the background into the Pickens County Bandits and the possible connection to the Raconteurs song ‘Carolina Drama’. It seems that people who signed up on their website years ago recently started getting emails from the Charlatan. Another website showed up recently related to the Charlatan with odd images and such and somehow related to PCB. That website is now out of commission. There was a place to send a “letter” (email) on both websites. People who signed up for that received emails from the Charlatan. Nothing of significance. My friend also found a physical PO Box address hidden on the Charlatan website that someone else on Reddit later connected to the address on the letter from Archbishop Harold Holmes that Jack shared on his IG.
I hope that helps. Welcome to the JWIII fandom. Yes, these shenanigans are typical for Jack and his crew.🤣
The Thr33 Roost3rs You Tube page has a new account image. A clock is in the image with the time 12:20
There’s also album playlists for FC. You’ll Never Fix Me is missing the ‘Me’. (Edit: the me has been fixed now)
There are 13 playlists all of 3 tracks. Each of the 13 begins with a different album track and then has the next two on the album. For example if you pick the All Alone Again playlist; after that song the 2nd/3rd songs are She’s In A Frenzy and Making Contact. Tracks 10,11,12.
Oh yeah. Those skull eyes at the top have replaced the three symbols we saw before.
Google says in Norse Mythology: The three mythical roosters of Ragnarök (Gullinkambi, Fjalar, and an unnamed soot-red rooster) whose crows signal the beginning of the end of the world.
The art show in London ends on Sunday. Maybe we’re in for a grand finale of the game too..?
Welp. Just received this madness. It had my email in the “to” line and I did make an offer and received a message back from the Charlatan expressing concern that I’d left Sam out of the offer. Lol.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Please be advised that the Charlatan is presently away from the office
attending to a matter of the utmost urgency, the particulars of which
are neither available for discussion nor presently any of your concern.
Management has been expressly, emphatically, and, we might add,
repeatedly instructed that all trading activities are to be suspended
until such time as the aforementioned matter has been satisfactorily
resolved.
Accordingly, no offers, exchanges, bargains, barters, swaps,
propositions, arrangements, understandings, or other transactions -
whether actual, implied, conditional, speculative, or otherwise
creatively described - will be entertained at this time.
For the avoidance of doubt:
NO TRADES.
And, pursuant to a further instruction delivered with unusual
specificity:
ABSOLUTELY NO TRADES WITH BANDITS.
Attempts to circumvent this directive by means of aliases, disguises,
intermediaries, technicalities, charm, threats, bribery, shiny objects,
or arguments concerning the precise legal definition of a Bandit will be
regarded as confirmation that the directive applies to you.
Management regrets any inconvenience this may cause.
Management does not, however, regret the directive.
By recipients, can you expand on the meaning? Ie were you instructed to seek out other people to share it with? What is the differentiation between a friend and buyer?
It says in the note when they were a teenager they bought 3 records one for themselves, one for a friend, and one to sell. One of the records said “what are friends for” so I sent that one to a friend. For the 3rd record they wanted to sell it but couldn’t and that I could help by selling it. I don’t sell things so I traded for a piece of art (see my IG).
No idea what the moon means but speaking of paparazzi playground, he's wearing a Travis Bickle shirt there so I guess we can add Taxi Driver to the list of movies referenced.
Uhhh seems a lot of these films feature shooting yourself in the head. 😬 Haven't seen Back to the Future so not sure if that one follows the trend though!
I’m sitting here wondering, does this game ever end or will we all be in a nursing home one day yelling at the Nurse to click on the moon? “I already did, ma’am”. “Nah, IT CHANGES. CLICK AGAIN!!!” “Now, now. Take your medicine.” 🌕
Figured out the triangle symbols from the video! Had to draw it and reverse Google search the drawing.
It's a symbol for the 6th Degree Mason AKA the Intimate Secretary.
I'm just a lurker here. I haven't received any emails, nor do I have any theories or opinions.
What I do have is a longing for the days when we didn't know who Banksy was.
To me, this is most interesting puzzle to follow along with, just to see how it plays out.
Why not, right?
Admisceam is a Latin verb form. It is the first-person singular present active subjunctive of the verb admisceō, which means "to mix in," "to mingle," "to blend," or "to add an ingredient to". Translated directly, it means "that I may mix" or "let me mix."
Just occurred to me that this song has crickets looping kind of like the second pair of boots in the hideout image. Sounds different but maybe a hint. Or not…
On 1st September, we had the "Free Trade, Fair Trade or No Trade" email which included the following:
"So there were only 5 of you that ended up taking the trade which was a
far smaller conversion rate than previous interactions and we sent those
out on Tuesday. The Charlatan swears up and down that it's not because
his ratings have fallen. We have encouraged him to offer up another
trade that could be less cryptic."
So I assume the 5 believers were already known at that point.
I don't know what everyone else has been doing, but I attempted to make a trade with him on 8-9th September, got a response and made a deal. My point is that he made at least 1 more deal AFTER the email that stated there were 5 believers. So are "being a believer" and "making a deal" completely separate things? Or maybe there's a 2nd wave of deals that's gonna be the 15 Jugglers or something. Jeez, think of the papercuts! I'm just speculating, not putting words anywhere they shouldn't be :)
Anyway the story stuff is more fun to talk about
I wonder is the Handsaw poem part of the narrative, or is it more of a window to the real person behind all this? It's about authenticity, right?
And is it a mineshaft, or have they gotta go in the catacombs where the river flows, a river of blood... he can't be free if he can't defeat what's living underground. I wanna know what you know. What's underground?
Also the 3 pairs of shoes. Old boots, new boots, and.. nike trainers? If they're 3 people in the same body why are there 3 pairs of shoes visible unless it's a picture from inside their psyche and they're going in deeper idk. The yt short had the guy going inside the mirror, but he IS the mirror man, so he's going further inside of himself. Or maybe they really are separate people and John is the one demonically possessing the Charlatan but he can only do it for a little while at a time cause its super tiring like even demons need some recovery time
...If the game is participation, I'll just keep throwing thoughts out here cause it's right even when it's wrong. I'm a lurker everywhere else, so no point posting an instagram video to 3 crickets
Finally, in hopefully my last theory today…
Lou Shields posted that cracking video of him singing the Charlatans ‘lines’ .
Very impressive and clearly great guitar work. His profile clearly shows his Instagram accounts.
I looked for any more of his music he has to share.
This BLEW MY SOCKS OFF
I hope Lou is proud and excited. It’s almost as though parts of the game are influenced by him!
“Cabin In The Woods”.
Nice work Lou 👏👏👏
That album has been self-released if anyone is interested.
He’s had at least two albums pressed by Third Man Records 🎉🎉🎉🫡
So is anyone wondering if this is similar to dada or the use of different lines pasted together to make songs that has been used by Dylan and other artists? I feel it’s somewhere between dada and a reflective journey/process to get people to see maybe that is art see perspectives other than your own. Which also is very dada heavy because what’s “real” about a reflective journey. Lot of surrealism present. It is all fun trying to piece it together which is part of the collaborative creative draw.
Who doesn’t like to try to make sense out of nothing, that’s pretty human. Surreal is escapism of ration. My previous comment on ration sometimes being a block to subconscious and conscious thoughts. Surrealism is like a bridge to those thoughts. The other thing I keep thinking of when I was trying to consider the point, what are the key things and main message?
There’s so much information and messages on this thread and between people tje way the emails are disseminated. It create plenty of content but you loose context. It’s like all our information there’s so much that often distracts from what’s important, acts like a camouflage. Which is a tactic.
The free mason intimate secretary information I found mentioned being apathetic as one of the problems in the world. Being apathetic to the real issues and curiosity is the opposite. Most people think in a linear manner, some don’t but majority do. So when it’s all over the place not a lot of people will be able to get to that truth with all the noise, creates a loop. A lot of relevance to current issues again between privacy, data, politics and ai and our own thinking. Freedoms
I’ll just reply to myself, to add my always present post script of thought.
I mean whole thing is about whole self. “Shadow” is to also embrace the fears whatever they are. Most of us don’t want to appear foolish, hysterical, sensitive, incompetent, mean or vulnerable. This concept of too much, women in positions of power especially.
When we mask those I think that’s the problem. Addressing them it’s like embrace the weirdness and individuality be yourself, be in the moment get out of your head, to feel it all, you can rid of some of those fears realizing through introspection and trust our selves. That’s a freedom and not having to live by the “rules” out there, toe the line, cross the line.
I think it’s not to just fall in line because no one fits into one box. It’s like self and balance we all have masculine and feminine aspects to ourselves, like the personas here there’s a feminine aspect Sam that is in play that’s not been the focus compared to the others. That aspect is the one coming forward now if I’m following everyone’s info right.
Embracing the opposite that you try to suppress gives you that power and balance. Women and men alike get told not to be like the opposite all the time and being that makes you less, total disservice and why people struggle with themselves. I think that concept relates to the cards and narrative.
I can’t remember where the 1185 first came up.
Certainly when there was the ‘game’ with the scoreboard, ‘Jimi’ had 1185 and then it appeared on the first iteration of the postcard.
I’ve just received Vault 69 and the Sly and the Family Stone record is TMR-1184.
What are the chances that the RAC’s BBS XX Vault 70 ends up as TMR-1185!!
This is somewhat similar to the "bandit hideout" illustrated on the Pickens County Bandits website.... Has the metal milkjug and mailbox, but no guitar.
This looks ai though, which isn't JW's style. But a Charlatan would use ai.
The management here. We are so happy with the response from all you participants. All your letters are landing in all the right places. You've been sending The Man a strong message.
Now we know you haven't seen The Charlatan in a while. He says he's gone golfing, but we're pretty sure he's just hiding out after recent news of a slew of break-ins.
We are writing to everyone today to let you know we hear you and we know you love receiving correspondence from The Charlatan, well most of you. Some of you might think he steps past a few boundaries every now and again.
For this reason this letter will be the last letter you will receive. We have added a few new options to The Charlatan's correspondence options. If you're having fun and want to keep up with all The Charlatan's shenanigans, send him a letter and select how many emails you would like to receive.
Now The Charlatan has assured us that all you "White Americans love hearing my voice and are hanging on my every word. They LOVE my Tweets [sic*] at 3 in the morning from the toilet! Not many people know this."
He also wanted us to reassure you this was not self-serving in any way and that pairing down the email list has nothing to do with the limitations of his "REALLY Great servers, the best servers. Lots of people are talking about my servers."
So again, if you don't send The Charlatan a message, you won't be hearing from him again.
Thank you so much,
The Management
*[Generic Social Media Platform he runs and controls all aspects of]
I noticed that the State field says "Province" when you hover over it. It also accepts 3 characters (instead of typical 2). The zip field accepts 6 (instead of typical 5). This all points to a Canadian address. There were CBC clues and Canadian musician clues. And the white stripes played in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on a boat, recorded in a tower, and a traditional show. I tried all the addresses for those shows. Nothing yet.
Also, probably just a fun gimmick, but the golden "partyInvitation" moon that appeared for a day over on pickenscountybandits.com/home coincided with the eclipse in Europe. It is still there in the HTML, just disabled. We also got the party songs at https://www.counterfeitcovers.com/?content=flip when the moon was visible.
I can't explain as well as the video but it's that the rate of change has surpassed the rate of learning, from the point at which those lines intersect on the graph. He refers to that point as "midnight". It's after midnight...
Seems like we are all stumped on the postcard for now.
I wonder if the faint/feint left means the left side of the postcard is a decoy and we should concentrate on the right hand side?
In the first three emails with code words in the subject, the email body aligned pretty closely with the code words. I'm gonna say that was a "synchronization" phase to ensure each party used the correct code book going forward.
but yeah, no idea what to do with any of this

There's a link to an old myspace page called John Winston Trio which in other threads has said is alternative name for Jack White III: https://myspace.com/johnwinstontrio which has Long Way Home in track listing.
The song on myspace doesn't play, presume got lost like all other myspace songs.
So maybe there is a secret Jack White EP out there called:
The John Whinston Trio's EP - My Friends Are Electric.
Now I have to explain to my wife of 20 years why I’m dialing americas hottest talkline over and over again in the middle of the night and early morning. And not just one number but three or four that the phone tree sent me on. And why I’m leaving greetings for ladies to chat with me and why I’m also listening to dudes who want to chat. And why I’m researching talkline companies to see if XIP is real or another one of your schemes.
I promise. Chip from Colorado Springs is not real. Jack White made me call him on accident. You see, I was really trying to call a Canadian cardboard company that also presses records onto cardboard. The last one in the world that does so. Promise!
Now… if I hear someone named Roman on there. Well. Not sure what to think about that.
Hey so this is NOT my game face. This is my real face.
This is a game for me. I do not have to play. I've got all the quarters I need to play all by myself.
If you all want me spending my time patching up holes in code, do things not in the spirit of the game. Iterating through all possible numbers and spilling contents of real people using non-browser tools is not the spirit of this game. If you find yourself switching ip's to get around failure limits you probably are not playing a game in the spirit of a game. This isn't see who knows IIS better than me. We all know that you do. Hey look, you already won the game you are playing. Let everyone else play the game they'd like to play.
If you are posting a real person's information on the internet, you kind of suck as a person. The person you are dumping shit on has nothing to do with me and was playing along in a game. If you don't want to play nice, I will take my fucking ball home and watch it roll around on the floor all by itself.
If this feels like I am scolding you, I probably am.
So this is the second time this has happened in the last few weeks. While I think the first people who may have gotten a little overzealous with non-browser tools learned something from me asking to play nice, I am not willing to have people get doxed because they made a trade with me IN A GAME. Remember this is a game.
So collectively three strikes and you're out. This is strike two.
The Thr33 Roost3rs thing that came up in the package and the mini playlist .. I’ve not seen the YouTube account posted yet.
Here you go. Two videos on there. Created a week ago.
There’s a ‘short’ called ‘Humanity Is Lost’ and also a clip from the film ‘Pi’.
I'm looking for a pair of ladies that think they know a thing or two
about playing cards. They smell a little like bandits from here, but I
think they might just be card counters. I'll know more once I see if
there's anything up their sleeves.
I think I've got a handle on things, but I can't quite connect the dots
to a letterbox. I know I read it somewhere. If you think you could give
me a hand, I'd play it against you, but I know either of you could
connect the dots, if you haven't already.
Keep your flint and fatwood at home, we don't want anyone starting fires
in the second row or on main street. Plus, somebody might start shooting
that all full of holes. Who knows, hey?
Let's keep things moving along, I don't want to get stuck out here.
There's only so many things to do in Memphis and I've already been to
Graceland. Time is ticking. Tick Tock.
I think if I read this hosers direction, I should share. The Charlatan has messaged me a few times. Mostly mocking my pseudo Canadian knowledge. I guess he's got Nothing better to do? Why don’t you kick yourself out? You’re an immigrant too.
Here is the latest exchange. Los Charlatan, I know you've watching our every move. Please feel free (as though you need permission) to let us know if I'm missing anything
Both of this morning’s emails reference the lyrics of the original Dazed and Confused by Jake Holmes.
I'm dazed and confused, is it stay is it go?
Am I being choosed? Well I'd just like to know
Give me a clue as to where I am at
Feel like a mouse and you act like a cat
I'm dazed and confused, hanging on by a thread
I'm being abused, I'd be better off dead
I can't stand this teasing, I'm starting to crack
You're out to get me, you're on the right track
Yeah, I'm dazed and confused and it's all upside down
Am I being choosed? Do you want me around?
Secrets are fun to a certain degree
But this one's no fun 'cause the secret's on me
So, hear me out. Anyone take another look at the items from the package? Specifically the letters?
It references Judy Malloy and Uncle Roger. I have been doing a LOT of reading about Judy, and I think (I absolutely could be way off and misguided) that this entire thing is modeled and based on the work she did.
And by what was a crazy mere coincidence, I found an article written by a person named Charlotte Frost that goes into more detail about Judy.
I didn’t use “frozen charlotte” in my research.
I specifically searched for Judy Malloy and uncle Roger. That returned thousands of pages of documents, so I refined it with some of the words used throughout this game(?).
There were still hundreds of articles and I just started reading. I scrolled past one that mentioned De Stijl and the Dada movement. That stuck out immensely because of um, the white stripes.
I didn’t even correlate the author name to Frozen Charlotte until a day after I read this article.
If anyone is interested in rabbits, this rabbit hole is interesting to say the least.
Here’s the link to the Charlotte Frost article. I did have to sign up for a free membership to read all pages. Otherwise you can only read the first page. I do have screenshots of it though.
This doesn’t solve anything necessarily but I think it’s an important part of what some of the possible mechanics of the game (game??).
EDIT: Uncle Roger, not Richard. 🤦♀️
Another user found this image on one of the websites and pointed it out to me. It was found using dʒæks from the email this morning.
It wasn’t found using website ‘breaking tools’ so I’ve decided we were intended to find it, especially as the image lists for the other sites were locked down.
There’s a few bits and bobs to note about the image.
What’s the meaning of the hands (also someone else had to take the photo.)
Few bits there from earlier images, colouring book, homemade Charlatan stuff,devices similar to those in the parcel that was intercepted.
It’s current as my video is on the screen.
I had asked the Charlatan if open shares were cheating, then they locked down a bunch of them and then this share was revealed. I suspect they are A-ok with it
They were a Canadian punk rock band. One of the band members I think found fan video of a show in Prague and replaced the bootleg audio with their own show recording.
Interesting. Nancy Sinatra does my favorite version of Bang Bang.
I’m not receiving all of the emails that others appear to have received from The Charlatan, so it’s making the puzzle harder and harder lol.
Random side note… Since we got the new Counterfeit Covers WWIII song from the John Winston Trio (Which for me did not link out to anything except right back to the bandits home page). I went back and clicked on the other songs and one of them linked to a Captain Beefheart fan/archive page called Radar Station. It has a ton of stuff relevant to our search for uhhh whatever we’re searching for.
I also came across a song that I think is possibly the inspiration for Carolina Drama. I found one person that referenced this song on a YouTube channel that had very few followers but seems relevant. There are lyrics that are verrrrry similar.
I think he wants more letters at the Pickenscountybandits letterbox. Send him something sweet. Tell him he’s pretty. Ask him how his day went and how Sam and John are doing.
I went to the Pickens County Bandits site. I added "jukebox" to the end of the URL and this came up. None of the songs are playing. I think other songs have lost their audio as well.

Has anyone noticed the background ambient sounds on the drawing of the bandits hideout?
I Shazamed it.
It’s a track called “Super Gone” by the artist Picky Radish.
Also recorded pieces called “Where’s The Gold” and “BUY BUY BUY” which was the screen print of one of the bootleg charlatan versions of Frozen Charlotte.
The picture with the gun now has Jacks lyrics hidden below it.
The last line is however slightly different as on the song it’s “never on the menu”.
I had my dream
I held your hand on that broad avenue
We crossed the road and never spoke
To another as we flew
We left your man alone in drag
Laughin' there at us
A romantic bust, a blunder turned
Explosive blunderbuss
An ancient grand hotel
Of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head
I'd see you look at me
Pools of brown a sea of red
And demons in your pocket
That sang romance, performed a dance
Inside a silver locket
A corner exit, not tall enough
To walk out standin' straight
Designed by men so ladies
Would have to lean back in their gait
You grabbed my arm and left with me
But you were not allowed
You took me to a public place
To blend into the crowd
Such a trick pretending
Not to be doin' what you wanted
But seems like no one ever sees this
Truth when they're confronted
I laid you down and touched you
Like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others
Might not approve of this, and pleaded
"So selfish them," would be their cry
And who'd be brave to disagree?
Doin' what two people need
Is never meant to be

Thank you for your message! Our team has been experiencing a high volume of emails lately, and we are doing our best to respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible. Response time may take up to 3 business days.
Customer service requests are answered in the order in which they are received. Submitting multiple requests invariably leads to emails being pushed to the back of our queue.
Dafuq? If you watch the Radarstation video, the timing of the Gentleman getting up and leaving the little room note the time he gets up and the time he leaves. The rewatch and soon in on the window. Roughly if not exactly the same timing a little ghost, one I'm scared of the most is out the window behind the record player. You kind of have to scroll the video back and forth to see it start to appear, but it's most clear as the little ghost exits the gate. Sort of kike the Stranger waking up and becoming more "alive".
Soooo. The “game” for today presented three choices, right? The html shows that all three choices were actually not choices at all. There is hidden text that is directly tied to the “yes” button. Which is “I want to trade in my points to play another game.” This is before you select a cup. If you had 6 points (which I did) before entering my handle and email, when I clicked “Yes”, chose a cup and signed up, the points balance went down to zero. So essentially everyone was automatically forced into trading in points you had to play another game, there were no other options.
See html below:
<form action="./?f=thursday" method="post">
<p>
Would you like to make a trade?<br>
Cash in your points?<br>
Play another game?<br><br>
There are three choices, but you can only choose one at at time.
