There were two groups of people going to the bowling alley and they got there at the same time and it got to fisticuffs as the teams couldnt agree who got there first, so who wud get the bag. Its funny, but sad at the same time.
Did they have a geek off to see who new more about batman and the new film an whoever won got the prize? lol. I'm guessing it was more serious than that tho...

I think the latter tho for the bowling ball escapade Empire didn't go til late but I think again that was on purpose - well I like to think so since they do know about these boards and no doubt check them!

Hey, have been very much watching from the sidelines during this viral campaign (in a desperate needy fashion, much like a dog in locked car on a summer's day watching passers by hoping the next person will be his owner and end the unbearable torture), however I'm tempted to get myself involved in this one and head down to Pall Mall. Unfortunately I am woefully unprepared (no oracle, or anything like that).
Is this a more the merrier adventure that casual bods such as I can tag along to?

I thought i should start the thread for everyone who is over here in the UK to play our london game for the 28th
I wont be able to get down to london which is a shame but i should be here for the online part of the game
so if you need someone online i'll give my number to someone privately the day before
so use this thread to organize everyone going down to St. James' Square in London. The closest train station to it is Piccadilly Circus!
UPDATE
now you must go around the corner from St.James' Square to a new destination. Directions are written out below but i have alos posted a link to a map showing the two points below aswell
the location has changed but only slightly down the road
here is a routed direction step by step from st.james' to the new destination around the corner
1. Head southeast on St James's Square toward A4/Pall Mall 322 ft
2. Turn right at A4/Pall Mall 0.2 mi
3. Slight left at Pall Mall 79 ft
4. Turn left at Marlborough Rd 0.1 mi
5. Turn left at The Mall
and you arrive at new destination a short 5 mins walk
click below for a map with directions
LINK TO MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=12099802679140781581,51.507450,-0.134600%3B16071321011767471727,51.506586,-0.131400&saddr=St+James's+Square+%4051.507450,+-0.134600&daddr=51%C2%B030'20.06%22N+0%C2%B0+7'52.06%22W&sll=51.505764,-0.131128&sspn=0.007132,0.014656&ie=UTF8&ll=51.505591,-0.134368&spn=0.007132,0.014656&t=h&z=16)

if you want to be a part of the online segment of this game i will be online but set to "busy playing joker game" so that only the people helping will be able to talk to me
we should all calloborate guys and get some form of structure going and a meet time for those on the ground.
this goes to everyone who is or wants to be in Mission Control
just be online [msn and add me first,internet whysoserious etc] 7-8 pm ready to add to the group chat. i'll will give all of you your certain job as i have a few and then we all figure out questions and puzzles etc to quickly send the info to a designated phone number which will be decided tomorrow
i will be following each step via internet maps [which means i would probably be on the phone to someone the whole time] and save were you guys have been and post it on here at the end
lets get out there and put a smile on that face

Are we still using MSN for London Oracles to communicate, as there have been individual city chats set up. You can read about it all here:
http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=14667059&postcount=71
Personally, I like the #tdklondon idea, as I think it is more reliable than MSN. My MSN tends to get very slow and laggy when there are a lot of people in the convo. IRC tends to be easier to log what has already been said too. Just my thoughts.
What do all you others think?

I've just learnt it - only takes 2 mins to learn what to do and it's a good idea to get acquainted with it in case MSN crashes. Let's face it, a night like tonight and you are gonna put your trust in Bill Gates' MSN?

I doubt some of our girlfriends or wives would go to the extent of learning it now when we've set everything up on MSN. Also, I would expect a chat room to be bombarded more with people not knowing what theyre doing than someone who has it at complete contro (Mr E Nigma)l. The original plan is there, I say stick with it and in the unlikely event MSN does die then it can be plan 'B'

Dunno really - the less people that kno before it happens mean more chance our COtGs (yes I will now be referring to them as COGs - lol) will get their jus-deserts. I think it may be on the 10 o'clock news which would be nice if it all works out :)

Anybody seen the latest news item on Empireonline? Does this mean only people with special Joker cards get in (although they do intimate otherwise). Any other chaps lucky enough to get this little pack?

from empire website...
If you've been following the Dark Knight viral campaign, you will know that the website www.whysoserious.com/itsallpartoftheplan is currently displaying a number of portraits which, when clicked, give directions to go to various cities across the world tonight. The London one is at The Mall. Click here for more details.
Well, we just received a package containing a clown mask, a playing card with a stamp on it and a note saying "Listen up clowns...you will need this playing card to get in and you will also have to go to whysoserious.com/itsallpartoftheplan to find out where you need to be. Be there at 10:00 PM sharp on Monday, April 28. (9.00 if you want to act like a clown)".
You can see the items in the pic below (we've blurred the stamp on the card, since we expect this is what marks the card as officially part of the campaign and wouldn't want anyone trying to fake it - paranoid, us?). So, if you're making your way down there later, we might see you. It seems, from the word on the website, that only 300 will make it in, so get there early (You won't need the card to take part – we don't think – we're just lucky).

Nah, we won't need the card - loads of press outlets have been sent those packages so I'm guessing those cards are press-specific. Thought about bringing my Joker card but didn't wanna risk losing it (it's a nice bit of merch!) - I've got my Joker phone with me though.

This may sound like a dumb question, but it the expectation that everyone who shows up will be taken to a screening of the trailer? I'm not going, but i am wondering when the darn thing will be online. Is tomorrow too soon to hope for?

Ready to get cracking Here are the instructions to relay to your clowns on the ground. Don't go losing your mind because you need to remember all the answers - you'll need them in about 30 minutes:
Step 1: By the "ubique-itous" statue with the alien friend, face forward and count every ground floor column to your right. Beware the policeman's black and blue stare.
Step 2: Up the stairs prepare for battle. You'll be greeted with open arms. On the island, discover those who died in the war and divide by the women who surround them.
Step 3: Go to the place of the frilly collar and count the number of steps you see in stone and light.
Here's the text from the site.

I don't know if it will be a trailer, since there are so many other cities to go. Maybe each city posts 10 second of the trailer, or a new pic or something?
Loneranger
04-28-2008, 03:14 PM
Step 1, 2, 3 are riddles that must be relayed to the ground people. Each answer should be a number, so 3 numbers in total; the combo to the safe. Does anyone have communication with those on the ground?

If that's all there is to it then why would there be various scavenger hunts at different times? I'm guessing there's more to it. Maybe each safe will give us a piece to the puzzle, and when we put it together we get the trailer. (figuratively speaking).
Who here is in contact with anyone on the ground?

Probably each city will present a prize; pictures, etc. One of these safes will have the trailer. Or maybe the safes contain a number, or riddle that will lead to unlocking the trailer.

Thats what i would call a safe bet, but i really doubt the trailer will be out this soon. They are about 10 more countdown clocks left with about 4 and half hours left on the last one. Wait till everything hits zero and then the world will gain its rewards ;)

We give these 'directions' to the guys down there in London and in the end we'll get some sort of combination which WE then use to unlock the safe, possibly revealing their final destination? An address perhaps? Maybe a cinema? They get the trailer, we'll maybe just get a little tease.

Thanks, got it. There's a note inside the safe with another clue for the troops of where to meet their contacts.
Got a feeling we'll get nothing, just the ground troops. Maybe once they're all open we'll see something...
"What does the J stand for? Are you retarded?

see...i knew it would just lead to more intructions
I wonder what the J stands for?My guess: we're going to need all the letters from each safe to put together a website address.

Thanks for the combination Surgemyster!!
Now, we have to wait for the other letters to form the URL, I think so...
My guess: we're going to need all the letters from each safe to put together a website address.
I think the J is just Joker signing his note.
I'm sure once the last safe has been opened the site will change to something new.
Screwpa!

People on the ground got joker cards. I think thats it.
