We got a report in chat (#tron on irc.chat-solutions.org) from jsailor that he was the 6th person at the Atlanta drop. All he got was “just a chance to see a guy playing video poker in a “Flynn Lives” shirt telling me it had already been checked in.” This probably means that only the first person at each location will be given the phone and wallet “prize pack”. However, since I haven’t heard any reports from persons 2, 3, 4 or 5 about being denied at the location, I can’t say for sure. So please think twice about traveling long distances to attend the event since the odds are poor that you’ll end up with anything.

At Noon (Eastern Time), the Flynn Lives Zero Hour page updated with 3 new cities. So if you’re still waiting for information, check it out at the top of every hour. The other cities are slowly being checked off, although I have no idea if this means that there is nothing else for anyone to do their or not. I would hope that there would at least be some sort of “second prize” for people who got their late, but time will tell.

Well the countdown on Flynn Lives hit zero and allowed us to access a new page where they have a list of cities and a place for 66 Operatives to enter codes. Unfortunately, at Zero Hour, only 3 cities had information posted, so if you’re not in Chicago, Orlando or Paris, you’re going to have to keep checking back at the website and hope that you don’t miss the window for your city. Of course, you might be able to game the system a bit by checking to see where the best arcades are in your city and staking them out until the passwords are released.

Update: The Cities have been slowly checked off on the Zero Hour page. I have heard no information about if late comers will still be able to do anything there, so please be aware if you are traveling out of your way to check these sites out.

Over on the Flynn Lives website, there is a countdown that will hit zero on February 24th at 11am EST. Below the countdown there is a slowly revealing list of city names. Current speculation is that things will be happening in those cities when the countdown hits zero, but it’s far too early to tell at this point in time. If you live in or near one of those cities, keep the countdown page or back here for updates within the next 5 days.

 

Update: So the image has completely resolved and all of the cities have been revealed. The original list posted was pretty close to what it finished up to be (the two switches were Detroit -> Denver and Indianapolis -> Minneapolis). We still don’t know what is going to be going on in those cities or exactly where things will be happening, but hopefully an update is on its way so those people who are contemplating taking off work will know if they should or not.

Date: December 22, 2009
Status: Concluded

The LEGO pods have moved out of the United States and back on the other side of the Atlantic. The next pod will be landing in Berlin “tomorrow”. Except, since the Bradford Rant website doesn’t date any of their front page posts, I don’t know what date the information for Pod #5 was posted, so I don’t know what date “tomorrow” indicates. And the twitter updates have been practically non-existent lately, so you have to rely on what is posted to the front page.

Update: They released a twitter update that states the pod will land tomorrow, December 22, 2009

Game: Exoriare
Type: Ham Radio Broadcast

Date: December 18-22, 2009 & January 1, 2010
Status: Concluded

After one final push, players of Exoriare finally managed to complete all of the ground stations in the Global Forager “game” and gained access to the CLEO satellite. After inputting the access code, the satellite discovered a secret alien moon base and then was given a set of times and coordinates when we are to listen to a communication at 1296.040 MHz (an amateur radio band frequently used for moonbounce communications).

1. 12-18 UT: 17:30:00 – 18:30:00 21°41′S ±90° 56°43′W ±90°
2. 12-18 UT: 23:00:00 – 24:00:00 20°59′S ±90° 136°36′W ±90°
3. 12-19 UT: 18:00:00 – 19:00:00 18°14′S ±90° 52°49′W ±90°
4. 12-20 UT: 00:00:00 – 01:00:00 17°16′S ±90° 140°8′W ±90°
5. 12-20 UT: 18:30:00 – 19:30:00 14°3′S ±90° 49°32′W ±90°
6. 12-21 UT: 18:30:00 – 19:30:00 9°26′S ±90° 39°25′W ±90°
7. 12-22 UT: 02:30:00 – 03:30:00 7°48′S ±90° 156°7′W ±90°
8. 12-22 UT: 19:30:00 – 20:30:00 4°14′S ±90° 44°9′W ±90°
9. 01-01 UT: 01:30:00 – 02:30:00 23°19′N ±90° 17°39′W ±90°
10. 01-01 UT: 12:30:00 – 13:30:00 21°43′N ±90° 177°2′E ±90°

This is going to take a coordinated effort to accomplish since I’m pretty sure most of us don’t have a ham radio stuck in the back of a closet just waiting to be used in an ARG. But it’s certainly possible that we do know someone who is into ham radio who might be able to help us out for an hour (or less than since the speculation is that the transmission will just be looping through that time frame). Please remember that the time frame is in Universal Time (UT) so adjust the windows accordingly to where you are locally.

If you are able to help out, a recording of the broadcast would be the most helpful. But even just a transcription of what was discovered would be appreciated. The players of Exoriare (myself included) have been working towards this for the past month and it would suck to fail at this point. So please, recruit those ham radio operators and let them show off their mad skills.
