Would this be possible?

Dubbie | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:18 am     I was just wondering if anyone else has thought of this... Each year someone wins americas choice for the letter from home. What if you had a little code for your family to use thru the letter to find out who your alliances are. Very subtle, but here's how I see it working. First paragraph tells you who is your ally. Each sentence of that paragraph begins with the letter (or if there are two people whose names begin with the same letter then the first two letters). The middle paragraphs can just be family news, blah blah blah. The paragraph about the family pet is where you find out who your ememies are. Again with the sentences beginning with the persons first initial. So if Gerry, Lisa, and Dani are your friends the first lines of your letter from home are: Gee, we really miss you! Love getting to see you on TV sweetie. Dad and I are so proud of you. What do you guys think - besides the fact that I'm way too obsessed with this show. |
Zeyna | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:27 am     LOL Dubbie, obsessed? Now, who here could accuse you of that LOL. That's a good idea actually. You'd have to be lucky enough to win AC, but having some type of letter code would surely work. But, I wonder how many would think this up as most of them didn't really know anything about the show. However, Jason is another story.. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:06 am     That is actually what my parent did when he volunteered for WWII. They knew he was in the Navy and going in with the First Marine Division. They set up codes for every possible area and island in the South Pacific.. innocuous words that would only mean he was in that location if it was in a specific sentence of a specific paragraph. Stuff like "suitcase" = "Peleliu" or "Indianapolis" = "Truk". So she had a good idea where he was much of the time and no, she didn't share it outside of the family (she was with her parents, sister, brother-in-law and nephew for the duration) Those letters of course were censored so any actual location would have been cut out. It could work, I guess. I think the letters may be written early on.. I remember when Nicole got HOH, the letter from Jef was old, because she wanted some assurance about something but it was clear to her that the letter predated that event. |
