I got one too, so I'm in. NYC is a bit of a long jog, so I don't think I can make the drop.

Okay so we need to pick a 'code' up, in London...

By the London Eye? If we can get a more elaborate description of what the code 'looks like' and how I'll be finding it. I'll go do it tomorrow/Wednesday most definitely.

Edit: Btw how are you guys getting the extra info? I got the initial trailhead email but are you conversing w/ John Stander? If so, what about?

Thanks.

Wish I was in New York

This sounds pretty cool. I'm in the UK, can't get down to London right now, but if there's ever anything in Manchester/somewhere else in the north of England then I'll definitely have a hunt.

@Leyton>> What I'm getting is that there are two drops, one in NY, one in London. We'll need both to make sense of the message. The NY drop is detailed, as much as we know, in the first post of the thread. All else is SPEC. The London drop is detailed, as much as we know, in the first post on page two. Ditto. I think for the London drop you would look for the poster at the coordinates listed. The NY drop says help is next to the elephant. That's a bit more of a crap shoot IMO. So, I think both drops are in place. A least that's how I read it...

[Leyton Stone]

Yeah gotchya it was really that simple Pan' lol.

Do you think the drop's ready or not? LOL that was all I was asking, okay cool - I'll take that one then, only it'll have to be either very late tonight or early tomorrow as I've got Uni work to kick off yet again.

I'll take it though, definitely.

Well if you dont want to go 'cos of your uni stuff I'll go. I can do it tonight round 7-8?

Ok, what's has me boggled is the "phase of norway" statement. Maybe one of the stores at that address is linked to Norway or is a Norwegian based company? Or a ling shot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Elephant

The king of norway is in the order... but I don't know what that would have to do with this building in NY...

New email from John Stander:

[Cleptomanx]

Well, the the Coords put this close to the southern tip of Greenland. We got anybody in Greenland that feels like taking a hike? LoL...

I don't know if we're really on the right track with having people going out to the locations given in New York and London. How did the PM's even know that we would've had anybody following this game from New York and London. Seems like a rather large gamble.

Could it be that we're considering these clues a little too literally and that there's another way to find the information without being there in person? I'm not saying I know a way, but I'm positing this theory so it's out there because it seems like nobody else has really brought it up (that I've noticed).

If we do physically have to be there... maybe we should ask ourselves is this interesting enough to commit, because it seems like there's going to be a lot more locations and coords. involved before this game is through. How much is too much before tossing in the towel and saying "more trouble than it's worth"

Well, that's my little rant. Hope you all enjoyed

What seems odd, it looks like a picture of the Sydney Opera House with a satellite on it. It likely is something completely different but I can't think of any other buildings that look like that.

Edit: Oh and the NY and London locations can be viewed by street in Google maps. I don't know if this is helpful, relevant, or if it isn't just stating the obvious but I'm wondering if that has what we're looking for?

[teh_lisa]

The NY streetview is so blurry though. I find it hard to make out much of anything there.
