I will be vying for this too, but if anyone beats me to it, I want it to be you. I do not think it will be an all out rush at once, probably two cities at once starting on the east coast and moving west. When does the clock strike 0 per time zone. Last time phx went live at 3pm our time or so. Between this and the super8 hunt on friday, it seems too much treasure hunting so close together


Zero hour will be 1 our time. Make sure you know your TSN account's email, because if nothing else, you will probably get the Above and Beyond achievement on your profile. That is what happened for people with the Fac 3 drop. To the winner go the spoils! Wink

 		I hope no one minds, I put your names next to cities where you might be able to go (on the list in my earlier post). There are still plenty up for grabs!

 		AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN AUSTIN

I haven't been playing since Facility 1 because my life went crazy (I got spontaneously married to my boyfriend of 8 years because we thought he might be dying and needed insurance, among other crazy things, if that's any indication of what's up) ... but I just got an email and ICEFLY DROP IN AUSTIN TOMORROW

I have no idea if I'll even be able to make it because I'm at work, but I would soooooooo love to do this. Maybe I can make my husband do it for me. Smile

AUSTIN! AUSTIN! AUSTIN!

Hmm 1pm. Since there are 20 cities, I am assuming they don't this to go past 6pm in any time zone so there could 4 cities released an hour. But the question where to post up and 42 e. Has a habit to say a certain city, but the drop is in a next door city. Like they will say phoenix, but it could be in mesa or Tempe

I was oracle for Dallas in the first round of drops and it was actually in Dallas proper, not one of the suburbs or anything - and I'm pretty sure that that round was all in the cities they said they would be.

Not that the drop was without flaws that time, but it was accurate.

Man, I am so out of the loop, I'm not even sure where I should be checking tomorrow for them to post more information. Sad

 		Ouch, every time they've presented Philly as a voting option, I would have been ready that day. This Thursday, however, I can't make it.

Shame, but good luck to those heading out! Get us the next Facility! Twisted Evil

Thanks to my Facebook spy, we can link directly to http://www.survivalcode.com/lbp91a.html and I think that's where the links will go live with clues tomorrow (noon PST / 3:00pm EST) for the first city or cities.

BTW, here's the essence of an email blast that came from the HPP today:

The five senses are building to a crescendo. You have scoured the depths of human perception. Now it is time to rise to your ultimate sensory potential.

OH, here's an online version, with the pictures (which are minor-spoilery in a preview sense)

 		So hey, would anybody be available to be my oracle for Austin tomorrow? I don't have a smartphone, just a phone that allows texting, or I'd be all awesome and use the internet myself tomorrow.

I'm trying to dig up an oracle out of the people I know, but so far no good.

 		I have a pretty good idea where it will be dropped. Theyve been by parkish areas right?

 		Am I tripping out or is the drop not actually going to be noon tomorrow PST? The timer on Facebook says 12 hours, 40 minutes. It's 8:20pm for me. That means 9am. Am I just reading this wrong?

No, sir, you are correct. The counter has changed.

Look for launch tomorrow at 9am PST / 12 noon EST.
(I'm updating my post with the cities to group them by time zone)
