Is anyone watching the two twitter accounts? Or tried email the characters yet?

The twitter accounts and character emails are fabulous, and if you haven't contacted the pirates, you should. Smile

Do they provide anything useful?

In my opinion no, the twitter accounts contain no content. At least not the Captain's. Mulligan's account makes some odd references to riding the 7 train, playing hopscotch etc., but I think that is just out of game chatter.

Again I really think that the clues (at least at this point) are not meant to be that hard to find. In the video they do a pretty good of job of signaling when something is a bona fide clue, i.e. by changing the audio, by using the word code, or by simply declaring that something is a clue. The transcript really highlights this I think.

All the other odd conversational bits and sly references to books or movies etc. are just red herrings at this point. They may pop up again later though, since the Captain clearly states that he wants the code they use to be based on "riddles only we four'll understand" which implies that the conversational in-jokes may be fair game later.

I think until Sunday we won't be able to determine much more than what the clues MAY represent. The first video does little to establish method. We will have a flurry of chatter then.

Hi, I'm new and also in NYC to help track down some clues. I must
congratulate many of you on your insightful ideas.
I just wanted to point out that the FAQ page states, " for the record�it's NOT in Central Park."

I assume they make such a point of saying it's not in Central Park because they knew if they didn't, after the first episode people would be descending on Central Park with shovels... lol

That is the normal police blotter news map generated by Gothamist. It has nothing to do with the game.

I am still looking to work with someone on this who live in NYC, PM me.

The newest thing I am working with has to do with clues pointing to another location. I had a hunch about this location at the start of this game. If anyone is getting anything to do with these clues: Luckiest Man Alive, Chinese Finger Trap, Tom splitting the wood, spelling clues, best medicine, cannon. If these clues are leading you to a location also then please PM me if you live in NYC and want to work together.
