I will never forget my TRON missed-drop fiasco.
I have to travel from Kitchener to Toronto by coach ($26+ and 2+hrs travel, basically half a day or more to make it worthwhile), and there was one in Toronto. When the countdown hit, the direction was to an arcade. I was waiting in Union Station, the optimal central location to get to any downtown address fast, and the address came in - I just wasn't sure what the Station address was. So I ran outside, tried to find the address, even asked people, got no answer. Found a number, one less than Union Station. Was it to the left or to the right? I dunno!! I ran back in, looked around, asked where the nearest arcade was, to which again I got no productive answers... then I looked down the stairs of I was waiting at the top.

Arcade.
10 seconds from where I was waiting the last couple of hours (and didn't even think of looking around). And it was now 10-15 minutes after zero. I ran there, and was told the guy who nabbed it just came and just ran off with it. I was seriously bummed. Seriously. I hung around in case there was more to come, but alas, nothing. Later on we found out there was a problem with drop the itself, but still... There's nothing like that feeling of ALMOST getting a drop but missing it because of a stupid mistake or oversight, especially with no one to blame but yourself Sad

Similarly, I almost won $10,000 in a Dr. Pepper scavenger hunt, in a similar situation. Nearing the last clue to the location of a special coin, I went early to where I thought it would be, scoured everywhere, but found nothing. Went home, considering and hoping that it wasn't yet in place (though that would be an issue in itself). And you can guess what happened. Beating the reveal of the final clue, I took the first bus back to Toronto early morning, the clue came in transit; found a crowd of others mingling about, and found out that someone JUST found it with a couple of friends, and left, quickly (hey it's a $10,000 coin)... best part? It was <1m from where I'd been searching, but on the side of a fence that was on private property so I didn't search there. *fumes*

In these types of games, ye just have to get used to the fact that sometimes... you'll just want to HULKSMASH things. Razz

Has anyone gone through the document scan I put up of the Dallas drop? Most of the papers are things we have seen before but there are some differences beyond the sets of squares.

The RIGOR letter seems the same

The DNA charts seem to be different. It may be a red herring but there may be something else there.

Does anyone else find it weird that the hybrid site hasn't updated yet? Peeps in NYC are getting close to showtime..

SF isn't an IMAX screening.

Very odd that there's not specific instructions.
I guess you just walk up to the BO and ask for your free Spider-Man tickets?

Ugh. Total read fail on my part.

I can't go anyway.

Have fun everyone in attendance.
