Grand Opening

• 21-Mar-05 - The Newspaper Text was completed; The Perplex City Sentinel discovered.
  • Updates would occur weekly.
  • Past issues can be read here: http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/
  • This issue: http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcitysentinel.com/28.03.05/ gives surprising amounts of contextual setup for events which would continue to unfurl over the next year.
  • Updates to the Sentinel continue to this day, though the schedule has changed slightly over time.

• 02-APR-05 - Scarlett Kiteway, Sente's daughter, writes a letter to the Sentinel. In it, she embeds a clue to her own website: The Scarlett Kite. This site, too, has been updated continuously ever since then.

• 06-APR-05 - "Recon Eight Released from Police Custody"; we are introduced to the Reconstructionists as a radical group of religious zealots.

• 22-APR-05 - Sente sent us some mail promising a package. The sentinel scooped this story before Sente contacted us personally, actually. We were sent to http://www.perplexcity.com/email/ (which is now defunct). This simple action allowed people to get entered into the system to recieve their "333 packages". This appears to be the only time the 333 Leitmarks are ever to be given out.
