I looked at the "Updates?" thread, and I noticed a slenderman reference.

If anyone's going to be at the Penny Arcade Expo, there's going to be a live event there - Citizen One has published reports of a convergence of phenomena in Seattle, as well as announcing that the Citizen Skywatch will be having a recruitment drive codenamed "Operation Poppa Alpha X-Ray".

Given that Poppa Alpha X-Ray is signal code for PAX . . . yeah, something's going down at the Penny Arcade Expo.

Unfortunately I can't make it to PAX this year, but some of my friends from the 2K Forums are going. If anyone is attending make sure you check in at the XCOM booth on Friday.

I wonder if said friends might be able to get multiple items of swag from this event.

(Hopefully said friends will be kind enough to provide us with photographs for obsessive kloo analysis!)

Bulk swag is probably unlikely but I've harassed them enough about pictures that they had better come back with something Wink

I hope they do manage to get duplicate items of swag. (Maybe not pockets crammed full of 2K/XCOM swag, but a few duplicates here and there.)

If they're not, *handwave* pictures WILL do fine.

Here's a quick look at what's going on at PAX. http://www.gamespot.com/events/pax2011/video.html?sid=6331516

Also, Codex from the 2K forums has told me that she'll be writing a full "in game" summary of the events when she gets back home on Monday. Stay tuned.

I'm not gonna try for the in-game flavor of summary, but after walking by the Citizen Skywatch booth and then later this guy (http://t.co/znG6Xsq) all weekend at PAX, I finally caved and stood in line this afternoon.

They had a number of people acting in-character and reams of props, including a chalk board and a couple bulletin boards (1, 2, 3).

The morse on the board reads

Also, check out this thread on the Citizen Skywatch Bulletin Board. I've posted several pictures there.

To anyone here who attended PAX, did you happen to get one of the blue cards from the Citizen Skywatch booth with a message on the back prefaced by the number 1.

Over on the 2K Forums we've solved almost all of the hidden message, we're just waiting on the key phrase to unlock number 1.

I was at the PAX event. I have one blue and one red card, but I don't know which ones I have. I'm at work right now, and I'll check them when I get home tonight.

EDIT:

Boo, I have Red card #5 and Blue card #10. Not helpful.
