Son of a gun, I want my goodies!
Even if I gave support at best heh.
Wow.. you live in an even more of an ass-end of nowhere that I do. Too bad these kind of swagtastic things are usually quite limited in global scale where doling out the goods is concerned.
Would be cool to get at least some Order related E-swag, like a few skins or something like that, only available via participation.

What did you even type in the mail? I'd like to send it but I have no idea what to write

Guys what if it's not an ARG at all, just a crazy person and he's going to dress up like a werewolf and try to eat you. I'm worried about you all. Be safe and maybe bring along a sprig of wolfs bane just in case.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
The people who are getting emails to meet somewhere are UK based.
Go UK-GAF
Go UK-GAF
yeah just saw that on twitter.. and it looks like it is today.. hope someone is going. I think I just added you on twitter dave,..
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Yep, that's me! I never tweet but I'll follow you!
I tweet.. but it´s mostly nonsense or one of my reviews.. lol
So you went..? What happened there..?
Yeah, I got the email about the place yesterday and was told not to tell anyone :3
It was really cool, they'd hired out a converted garage type thing. There were a bunch of guys from America who had put it together and a rep from Playstation who were all really nice. We got in and had to sign a waiver to be recorded so yay for that, I hate seeing myself on video haha.
In the place they'd recreated Ians flat in an area upstairs with loads of pictures and notes and blueprints and stuff. Crazy cool. Opened a safe and got a DVD which apparantly has tonnes of high res art and more stuff from the ARG. Got a code for the final game and also got some other little goodies which was nice of them.
Its freezing now, was in there about 2 hours just looking around/playing/chatting. When we left I'm not sure how many people had been but I hope more turn up because they've put a tonne of effort into it.
Getting something to eat and then heading back home.. long trip.

I got a reply but it was far too short a notice for me to get there, I don't know how many were invited but it's rather typical that the one time I actually am lucky to be picked for something like this it's nowhere near me and impossible for me to make arrangements with work/travel. Disappointed.

It must be the same company that runs these things. They usually seem to be UK based.

The Tesla's lab concept art is nice
It was pretty short notice tbf, I nearly didn't go but I figured screw it, I'd been working it out for weeks haha.
I shouldn't have? Or should? Confused :3
I don't think it was the same company. The guys were from the US.
Some interesting tidbits I learned.. The underground area where they filmed The Order's complex was over in Lithuania I believe. Then they put in various audio clips to make it sound like the London Underground was nearby. The replica's were done by Sony, through a prop company. The ARG guys got it sent to them in like a thousand pieces they had to put together haha.
I'm glad folks who couldn't make it still got the game and stuff
The pictures I took are pretty bad because of dim lighting but there's a few on the official twitter if anyone wants to have a look: https://twitter.com/TheOrder1886/status/562681380220731394

I recieved an email with a code but it shows as invalid
Does it become valid after the 20th?

I received two message today and a code, but we have to wait until the 20th to get it.
I have some Christmas gift card from Best buy, but they sold out of the Collector's Edition. Arhh...

I received an email with the code and a download for some concept art that was super cool.
edit: No I live in the US so the event was WAY too far.
nice.. did you send an email as soon as we cracked the "case" here..?

I was bouncing back and forth trying to solve as much of it myself as I could ......I think I was MANY hours after it was solved here......so not it wasnt immediately after.
I sent my Initial mail to the cracked e-mail about 2 or 3 hours after it was puzzled out.
I got a reply on 02/02/2015 20:48 (GMT+02:00) to which I then replied with my address.
Got my E-swag mail about 15min ago, Saying
And a link to somewhere that is blocked from my workplace. Have to wait 'till I get home.
Any idea what the code does?

Best case: A copy of the game
Worst case: The same theme you get for clicking on ten things on their website
Nice.. Still nothing for me..

The link contains a download for some artwork and as above, best case is the code is for the game since it's to be used on release date, could just be some extra DLC bits though.
I got the same but hard copies of both. 90% sure the code is the game, no DLC, just the base game

Got this late email too, here's hoping it is the game heh! EDIT: No code
It also has a lot of blueprints and stuff.
EDIT: what the heck do I open a .DS_STORE file with?

I got the code also not sure if its the game or not. Will need one of you to let me know on the 20th, I have a premium edition paid off so I would probably gift it to someone here if that's what it is.

That's just an artifact of someone on a Mac sending you files, ignore it.
Hope you all enjoy the code once you can redeem it.

So where did you see the code, guys? Maybe I'm too blind or something.
Ah, here I was thinking that there was more to it haha.

Ah, well. Nothing to do then. Thanks!
Got a mail last night.
But it is only a link.. Not a code.
What was your link to..? The evidence.zip file..?
Edit: I got to stop playing these ARG games, I have solved (and helped solve) more than 5.. I just end up dissappointed everytime anyway..
Yes, the link was for the evidence.zip file. The code was above that. Like I said, right after the bolded part. Same row as the bolded part. The link was below that.
I guess there was a first come, first serve basis for the replies? Or randomly chosen between the people who replied within a certain timeframe?... I guess I really lucked out with this, if both you and Juan29.zapata got zilch. Now I feel kinda bad about it.

I got a late email too, it also has a code for me to redeem on the 20th, surely its not the full game? my guess would be a 'making of' documentary or dlc.
Im certain I was one of the first to send an email. And I responded to the mail less than 1 minute after I recieved it.
I think it's only for us or uk people... Not some countries like mine that dosn't even show up on a globus. Lol
I will probably recieve a review copy soon, so it really doesn't matter.. But for once it would have been nice to be rewarded for my work on these Arg's.
Dude, I live in Finland. Sure, it's bigger than the Faroes but still far from being substantial where location or market size is concerned.
Ohh then I was mistaken.. Enjoy your vodka.. ;0)
