[META] McDonald's Ad

This may be of interest to those following the marketing structure of the game. Note the Lost Ring flyer in the background of this McDonald's web ad:

Football/Soccer is still THE major topic in Germany (and while I am writing this, I can hear people shouting and whistling and cheering and cars honking on the streets outside - VERY loud! - since Germany has won its semi-final match against Turkey some minutes ago ... I guarantee you, no one at any McDonalds restaurant here will mention or even think of the Olympic Games before these Championships are over!

I saw this ad and now I'm here...

Yeah, I'm new (to ARGs) and I'm mostly overwhelmed by this whole thing, kinda looking for direction.

Haha, yeah I think I've read most of that; the codex, Eli's podcasts, and Ariadne's videos. I'm just trying to figure out out what's going on now.

Welcome Unieek1!

What's happening now:
* The competition for who will be the fastest labyrinth running team in the multiverse is heating up, and all the Amnesiacs seem to be getting involved.
* We need another 19(?) City Labyrinths completed as soon as possible around the Globe
* The first of the five parts of that sculpture Eli talks about in his last podcast should hopefully be picked up tomorrow - leaving four more to find and intercept
* James has got his promotion up the ranks of TheO, and it's through his help we found the first one above, and will find the rest
* Markus may or may not actually have joined TheO for real
* Larissa is another step nearer to getting to her old friend Renata - having found Kentaro, what's happened since we don't know

Ummmm... that's all off the top of my head - I'm sure there is a lot more going on...

I think that there will be one part of the ring on each continant, but NZ was chosen over AUS because they have more players. (I think)

Alothou i could be made comlpeatly wrong when we work out were the next part of the sculture is.

I was wondering if the PanCosmologizer was figured out yet, for alternate world locations. I couldn't find a thread for it.

Welcome unieek1. Apparently McD's knows what it's doing advert wise if someone found the game as a result of that ad. Oh wait, it's one of our evil corporate overlords, of course they know how to advertise.
