I think it is cool that you guys are planning a meet up. I wish us Great Lakes players would do something like that. However, I don't think that we will have to fly blind into a real world event. Those events take more time and money to plan and execute than probably any other aspect of an ARG.
If we need to be somewhere, we will know where to be. I expect a mass email that leads to a website, or a massive explosion of websites. Imagine if the entire world of Perplex City opened up all at once! Dozens of sites going live at the same time. Where would we start first? It would certainly have never been done before in ARG history, and would keep us busy for a while.

Maybe we are supposed to segregate by geography. Maybe they want us to formulate groups because it will help us to be ready for physical ARG stuff.

I'm in NW Ohio, do we have a map of 'who is where' so we can track and plan expeditions across the globe?

Also in NW Ohio. Although I dont think we're supposed to segregate by geography.

While that idea would be really fun and slightly over-awing, I don't think anyone would do that, surely. ARGs work by drip feed, right?

Typically they release only what info they want us to know at the time. But what if this one was different. By exploding that much infomation all at once, they could in a sense sit back and watch us devour it all until we reached a point where more updates were needed. Also sort of a way to make it up to us that there has been so little activity in the past few weeks Mr. Green

i'm starting to have second thoughts sbout anything going down in greenwich, but it'd be worth us londoners going, and jeb if he's in lndon that day, just in case....

as for a map of where we are, that's a bloody good idea. am going to start a thread where we can all say where we are and give an email address (not our main ones in case of spam). then someone with some design skills can whip us a map when we've got enough.

Probably time i 'fessed up that i live in Greenwich, though I can't get away from work on Fri! I tried to make time to check the library for copies of "Charlotte's Web" today, but got waylaid. I'll try again tomorrow.

I'll absolutely be up for doing some legwork in Norway - although I doubt they will set up anything over here. Wink

I'm in Sydney, and i've got a group that could act if a real life event happens here.Also I think Song of the phoenix lives here so we're pretty much covered. I'm of the opinion that it will be a web based start initially, but we may have to act fast and in concert to what the message is. We need to have people ready for both on the ground and internet events. On the other hand, the previous ARG's I've followed have had slow starts, but given the long pre-game, and the level of coordination and rapid response
recently developed by the Beekeepers in ILB, they may just decide to push us to our limits.

Whoa...there are too many similarities for this to be a mere coincidence. I'm convinced -- there's no way this isn't related. Great find! Very Happy

Ok my thoughts, for what they're worth

1. I have a feeling that Greenwich is a place, the wiki link posted by made me more sure of that

2. There has been a lot of talk about parks and inner city green areas in the sentinel (the sculpture in Polygon Park, Tokei's art in Azad park) this makes me think Greenwich park

3. I can't help feel that there is something in a copy of Charlotte's web somewhere.

and finally just because Sente is due to communicate "to a large audience of Earth inhabitants" Doesn't have to mean they all know about the game does it? I seems to me that there will be a large number of earth inhabitants in Greenwich park on Friday at 3pm.


Very Happy

That is one hell of a point... Especially given that they know we are a team here (can't remember the quote exactly) surely they'd say Sente was going to contact his team or something?

I need to convince some of my friends to go - I'm not going on my own, that'd just be sad coming from here Smile

Interesting to note that that's two syzygies on May 28th.
