I haven't been following along, which city lists and what are they for?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At the University of Pittsburgh, one of the buildings is known as the Cathedral of Learning. There's a student lounge on the 3rd floor. I don't know if we're supposed to find something there, but I can check it out if you think so.

We are looking for wildfire industries flyers, judging by the message included before the hex that sounds like where we are supposed to look.

<sarcasm> Excellent. </sarcasm>

This completely contradicts something one of the AIs said when asked if an applicant could be successful from an overseas site. We were told that as these exercises are virtual there is no physical presence required. I can't remember if it was Firenze or the Rainman Group's AI that said that, but that's obviously been blown out of the water. having said that, I'm probably the only person in the southern hemisphere playing. Is there anyone in the South Pacific playing?

What time does Seraphina usually leave #wildfire? Will she still be in there in the next 30 minutes do you reckon? I can't see her on AOL to message her and ask.

ANYWAY enough opining. There's a live webcam at the university of Pittsburgh... and one that points at the cathedral. Unfortunately it's not inside the cathedral, but I thought it was cool, find it here

I probably can't go until wednesday, so if anyone else wants to check it out, be my guest.

That was Callista, Rainman's AI. Just because you can't go get a flyer doesn't mean you can't play. You know someone is going to scan it, and I'm sure there will be alot more stuff online compared to some flyers.

Plus, apparantly Delton's intending these flyers to serve more as recruitment than anything, going by what's been said in the IRC channel - being part of level 4's just a bonus, I guess, and he's probably counting on the info in them getting distributed regardless of where any current players happen to be.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Also, I actually got Minneapolis, MN as the last city in that list, after Fort Worth.

Miss_seph: Not only one in southern hemisphere. And not only one from New Zealand, either. Just my luck, you'll turn out to be from Dunedin, too. Wink Razz



Anyway, we had a visit in #unfiction tonight from someone claiming to have recieved a flyer with links to both Unfiction and Immersion on it, as well as links to ThisIsWI..


I'll try to find my logs, if I had them on, one of the other people in there, like SpaceBass, will probably have them if I can't find them.

[1:56am]« bagsbee » luckily I didn't have to travel that far Smile

Ok, the Wildfire homepage has changed again.

The page source now says:
Quote:
The 3rd floor lounge of the church of knowledge contains a secret. Mr. William Pitt left his copies where Deltina frequents herself, or at least somewhere in that area. Within San Diego there lies a jewel,
Where there's plenty of jolly beach and a children's pool.
You must hit the books first, that much I'll confide,
In a municipal building; the real jewel's inside.

506974747362757267682C2050410D0A476C6173676F772C2053636F746C616E642C0D0A53616E20446965676F2C2043410D0A546F726F6E746F2C204F6E746172696F0D0A46742E20576F7274682C2054580D0A4D696E6E6561706F6C69732C204D4E00


The page contains a short film, saying that hiring commences January 28th. There is writing on the page but it's so small, I can't read it.

Well the hex in the new paragraph hasn't changed:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Pittsburgh, PA
Glasgow, Scotland,
San Diego, CA
Toronto, Ontario
Ft. Worth, TX
Minneapolis, MN


and the new paragraph is the stuff that firenze said last night. 'you must hit the books first...' strikes me as a reference to a library?

And let's not forget: "Get Hired: January 28th" at the end of the flash animation.

flash movie numbers fly-by

hey guys--
you probably all noticed the new flash movie on WI main page. in the middle of the movie, a bunch of numbers flash by...I froze the file and copied them down. they are in this sequence:

0000 0608 4070 0010 0090 0080 2060 0040 0407 0790

I'm thinking hex, especially as the page sports two hexagons on the left side. translation, anybody? I'm going to bed.
