LIke I've said many a time before: I haven't followed this much, and am jost now looking at this.

What happened at these "signings" in the past? Are there specific locations or are these truly fictional signings?

Up to now, they have been "dead drop" locations, where us players have "intercepted" packages containing construction plans, a phone and a thumb-drive.

Look through this thread, which documents what we've gotten so far.

Great find. Of course since we caught them posting the addresses last time, we HAVE to check the gas stations this weekend for the exact location.

Please check your local gas station for the exact location in Miami, Dallas, and Philadelphia.

If you are new and don't know what I'm talking about, starting 48 hours before a drop, Soren sends a message through his "Public Address" System of the locations and times of the packages we must intercept. The PA system is these gas station TVs at the pump, it will display a trailer for 2012 and the location will be there on the side.

The locations of the gas stations in this system can be found in the first page of this thread.

But my understanding was that that came from Soren's list, Shell locations broadcasting messages, etc... I'l talking specifically about the "Farewell Atlantis" book signings. Is there a correlation between the two?

Now I know two of the locations listed for Miami very well. Time for me to figure out when, I guess...

ETA:

And, yeah, I'm very late to this game... and I really don't have the time right now to read 16+ pages. I might later tonight, but my impatience and eagerness over a possible Miami drop tends to overwhelm that. Smile

The PMs made a mistake and put the addresses of the dead drops as the locations of the book signings, thinking we wouldn't see the correlation. We did of course, so they took down just the addresses, but left the cities and dates there.

So when they updated the book signings, we have presumed that there will be more dead drops, but this time they were of course smart and left the addresses off, but we know to check the gas stations for that info.

As far as the correlation between the IHC, ARC, and Farewell Atlantis, there really isn't much besides the book was used to decode a message and the book signing cities just happen to correlate with the dead drops.

OK, so if I'm understanding this correctly I should be at said viewing locations either from 8am-12pm on Saturday or 3pm-6pm on Sunday?

That's what it usually is, but it hasn't always done that. But it definitely shows it from 48 hours before a drop until the day of.

Nighthawk, just so it's clear:

1.) The Gas station TVs are to find out WHERE the dead drops are - exact address and time

2.) The actual DROPS are at the locations, which so far have been mostly comic book stores

Soren's blog confirms there will be the messages at the usual places on Saturday and Sunday, so it looks like the new drops are a fact. However, it appears there's a slight deviation from the normal timings for the info display:

Quote:
I'll signal you on Saturday and Sunday mornings, 8am to noon. You know where to look.


So, check those pumps!
