If this is anything like a normal Olympic event, we'll only have one shot at it.

And Twitter mobile would work for me.

This all sound good for Gaea, my main question is how will we communicate with the other competing multiverse teams to decide who has won etc?

Bring it on, Pangea! Very Happy

It's a good point about the dark - our guess is that NZ and Tokyo are most likely to be going early morn, while European teams will most likely be closer to night, so we'll have to start scoping out possible well-lit venues now.

Could we organise a mulitple-site video-conference live web-cast so that we could see all the teams going at once? Is there such a thing?

I asked Noriko a question, and she replied in her blog that an Asian city other than Beijing will run on Aug 23/24.
I wonder if there's no need to have Beijing in the daytime.

By the way, I wrote after the first synchronizing labyrinth (at 6am in Japan):
If there will be other chances of worldwide synchronizing event, setting the event two hours later will make the synchronization much easier for New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Then US will be 4-7pm, and it will be much cooler. Western Europe will be 23-24pm and a little difficult, but isn't it easier to hold an overnight party than an early morning party?

EDIT: I made a mistake - Western Europe would be 24-25pm with this proposal.

Aren't these final synchronized labyrinths supposed to take place during the Closing Ceremonies?

According to BeijingTicketing the ceremonies will be at:

[META] It's cool that this game is going clear through the olympics instead of just stopping at the beginning and telling us to just go watch.

Typically the men's marathon ends at the stadium shortly before the closing ceremonies. I'm imagining some Lost Ring Labyrinth running happening in the middle of the grass. That would be very interesting. With the vast majority of the viewing public having NO IDEA what it is (and probably just assuming it's a dance routine).
