Out of curiosity, what was the takeaway from all this, except a good time and sleep deprivation?

New email about Seattle training:
From: Prototype161 Recruitment
Subject: [Prototype 161] Counter-Espionage Training at PAX
Quote:
Prototype161 will conduct training in counter-espionage during the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington on August 29th-31st. Attendance is mandatory.

Agents and recruits may participate in two ways at the expo: Solving a case, or attending daily exercises at 11am and 3pm. To begin, visit your agent handler at booth # 462.

More information is available in the agent section at prototype161.com.



From the related page on the site:


Quote:
Prototype161 will conduct training in counter-espionage for agents and new recruits at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington from August 29-31, 2008.

This specialized training can be performed autonomously at any time during the expo. Trainees will explore clues and documents from prototype161's history which have been repurposed for the exercise. Participants may collaborate or work alone. Visit prototype161 at booth 462 to begin.

Additionally, supplemental training sessions will take place daily at 11 am and 3 pm. Agents will compete directly with each other in an exercise designed to test their skills in lie detection, information concealment, and social intelligence. Sessions last approximately an hour.

Sign up below for access to our Agent Network where you can form teams and connect with other agents and recruits. Registration is not necessary for the PAX events, but participants are welcome to form teams to complete the specialized training.

I was a member of one of maybe four or five groups of con-goers who completed this at PAX08. It was a very good introduction to the ARG format, designed specifically for those who aren't terribly familiar with what ARGs are, and was completable by a small group in about 5 hours of constant work. 'Agent Liminal', the guy who was running the game, was quite pleasant to interact with, and plays a great game of Mafia/Werewolf. I came across a post in their forums that they'll be running a 'case' in Belleview, WA around October.

 hmm..

I'm currently playing at E for All (retired for the night, ready to hit it again tomorrow.) I feel like I've been led to a nearly if not completely unsolvable roadblock. We've found:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
fusionreality.org, yocheckit.com, prototype161.com/bluefile, 2 voice mail messages

and all for a big pile of so what? Having found all 6 clues and solved all but 1 (still stuck on the caution tape puzzle) we have no idea what any of them mean. We have matched the 5 agents to their home cities but even that hasn't helped.

I will admit we had a ton of fun doing this today (spent roughly 5 hours and ended up completely ignoring the rest of the show!) but at this point I just wish it had tied up toegether better after doing so much. We'll get back at it tomorrow and hope for the best. Anyone else playing look for the 2 guys in black hats starring with great confusion at the caution tape if you want to talk!

Heh-heh. I stared at the murder scene for quite a bit of time trying to figure out the clue. I collaborated with others scratching their heads over the clue, and we eventually solved it. Surprised However, I won't be at E For All to help them complete the entire puzzle. It was fun working on it, though.

Ya, I played, I was on the couch.

as far as cities we have:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Eros - madrid, spain via the schedule clue site yocheckit.com
mallow - new york via the birthmark and flickr pick
terris - paris, france - via the pic of the glass pyramid and knowing she is not the london agent
dresden - london, england via the phone call asking and elimination
quantix - ???, usa (probably los angeles) via the flickr pic with american flag and the bluefile scar clue

oh and also it was fusionanomaly.org not fusionreality


I too would love to have that last clue spoiled. I swear there was 8 of us literally sitting there starring at it yesterday and nothing but many, many confused people walking by wondering wtf we were doing.

I'll get back at it today but dang it I'm playing Gears 2 first. I mean, I came to play video games after all...

Has anyone been contacted about the new event? Oct. 17, in New York. No pregame this time, but will anyone be there?
