I got

Rich Young Adults from Greenland

...

It seems to me that the pattern here is that all of these people might not be minorities in their own right, but are minorities within the given population. Thinking more on it, I dont think thats it, but it is a place to start, perhaps.

Edit: Another idea occurs to me. These phrases might be a key for a cipher for the main text, a'la WWI phrasebooks. The idea is, you take the key or keys and remove all duplicate letters, then line it up with the alphabet, and the letter in the key replaces the letter below it, like this:


RICHYOUNGADLTSFOMGE
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST...

And so on. The only two problems with this is that, one, we either have to do this with every key and translate the text and see if anything comes up, or the keys somehow interact, as in, you take only the captalized letters. Either way, I cant do anything right now with it due to laziness and other tasks getting in the way.

I can't see any obvious link between the locations so far. We've got continental (Asia), countries in Africa and Europe (I'm not sure if Greenland counts as Europe or North America), and US states.

In an attempt to find some kind of pattern or something from the locations, I've created a KML file which you can view using Google maps. You should be able to view it using this link.
I've titled them with the order they were posted in and the name of the poster. The description gives the key. I simply did it by typing each location in and marking where it showed me - I didn't zoom in or out for any of them.
I have no idea if it's going to be any use though!

You should also be able to download the KMZ file for use with Google Earth from here. I hope I've done these right Smile

Hispanic Women from Rhode Island

Also noticed the number 865 on the lower right of the signup screen prior to signup. It disappeared after I got my key.

It said 869 when I registered, now it says 871. Seems like its a registration counter.

Couldn't help myself

Screen had the number 871 before I signed up.

My key is: Rich Professionals from Guam

And the clue at the page bottom is the same as earlier.

on the source code it says "this is not a hit counter" so I'd bet it is a registration counter

Re: [TRAIL/PUZZLE] Choose Your Revolution
It's a simple puzzle, might be a trail for a bigger game

It gives clues when you sign up. I got "Homeless Asian Women".


Just to clarify...
Was it as you state, above, or was it possibly more like "Homeless Women from Asia"?

Not that it will be a big issue.
These are probably just what they say: Unique "keys" generated pseudo-randomly from a three element array.

The counter at the top?

There was a counter behind the the word "choose" in the header...anybody got a clue counting what? It was on 18, 417,650 when I tried to register.

Edit: Sorry, the counter is not behind the word choose. The page didn't load properly in firefox. Tried it in ie, it loaded and gave my key:

Middle-Class Executives from Connecticut

the link at the bottom of the 2nd column won't work in either browser
