seekingferretOh, hey! On the bright side, I'm not on any team so I don't have any qualms about speculating publicly ahead of time on who M&P are. I don't care if my team's brilliant insights are revealed to other teams.
So here's a few thoughts. MP are the initials of Metaphysical Plant. One likely possibility is that M and P don't mean anything at all, they're just names chosen because their initials match the team running the Hunt. And because by not showing the full names Plant gets to fuck with you.
Also, it says Massachusetts Institution of Technology instead of Institvte. M and P are also the initials of Mental Patient, and I'm sure that given the demographics of Hunters, insanity would make a delightful theme for a Hunt.
Also, it's not impossible that M & P mean something as simple as Mysteries and Puzzles.
Or Madame Psychosis! She does work at MIT, per Foster Wallace. Wouldn't an Infinite Jest Hunt be fantastic? Anyone? No, just me, I guess.
Mater and Pater (or Ma and Pa) also come to mind as a longshot possibility, a wry and kind of obvious bit of wordplay. But that could only kick off a time travel-based Hunt, and we've done too many of those lately.
