 		Ookay so let me get this straight... Stander wants me to pay £15.17 (The equivalent of about $23.00 USD) To take a ride on the London Eye?

1st - NO PM should be expecting their players to pay for something unless there is a chance of a cash prize and/or they know 100% they'll be fully reimbursed.

2nd - What are the odds, I'll be the next in line, as the correct Pod (AKA The one w/ the supposed poster in it) comes around? Well if we're talking literal terms it's 1 in 32.

So theoretically, I'd have to shell out between £30.34 & £485.44 (or $46.18 & $738.83 USD). Just to make sure I find the poster... ?

No thank you.

 		Add that to the fact that I asked people working on the wheel and they said they had never seen it?!

As did I... I asked 3 separate people working on the wheel, each one just gave me a funny look and said 'it's nothing we've got around here mate, sorry'

- It was in fact one of those workers who said it looked more like graffitti and sent me to the local graff' spot down the road to have a look there.

I mean even the NY Drop clue has changed. First it was "Help is next to The Elephant" - And now suddenly the 'cell phone' is inside the building of Elephant Ride Inc... ? - Right-e-o!

In closing: I don't believe there's anything to this... I'm leaving well enough alone now. Unless someone can convince me otherwise there really is a cell phone at Elephant Ride Inc... And a Poster w/ a code on the London Eye.

Additional note, to the "PMs" I apologise whole heartedly if this really is an ARG you guys have set up... But, I can tell you now you're going about it all the wrong way - Expecting players to pay out of their own pocket to pick up a clue? - That's 1 rule right there, you're technically breaking... Not to mention making people go around places where so far, nothing is to be found.

 		Okay so I picked my gf up from Waterloo station tonight and (yes I know, stupid considering I don't believe a word of this anymore) I took my Binoculars.

I asked her to come w/ me to the London Eye as it's only five minutes around the corner from the station and I promise you, I was there for a good quarter of an hour at least looking through the damn pods...

There is no poster, in the London Eye pods!

I hate to suggest even such a thing - but looking at this response we got from Stander it doesn't say anything about the London Eye. His latest comment suggests its "inside the wheel".
Maybe there's a bit of English that doesn't translate one way or the other across the pond, but to me wheel - doesn't mean Eye. We were the ones tha kind of assumed the poster would be in the pods, around the eye, on the building etc.
But I'm guessing that if it were in plain view - it wouldn't be for long. Does a wheel make sense to anyone that's been there?

I'm one of those (along w/ Cog) who went for the drop, I've now been twice. I live in London lol. - The Wheel = As Natas said.

If that's not what they're referring to, they'd best be more specific and stop sending people on wild goose chases.

Unless they expect us to search every wheel-shaped object within a kilometer of this thing.

 		Its known as the London Eye or the Millennium Wheel so it could still be one and the same. But I know of no other wheels nearby. Only place there may be a wheel Is in the Namco centre But I Checked there.

Plus whats the point in worrying about the poster when we dont have a phone?
