The San Francisco Connection
|
General
- In most literal terms, this is a new link which is to connect Perplex City to Earth; specifically, the link will connect to San Francisco, California, USA.
- In a more pragmatic sense, this will be a live event in San Francisco, and will be similar to the London PCAG event.
- The event will take place August 12th, 2006.
- For information available pre-event, see: SFCon:pre-event
Website Information
- http://emergency.perplexcity.com/
- became available after a mass mailing/plea on Friday.
- http://emergency.perplexcity.com/main/main.php
- Became available on Saturday, around 10:45 PDT
Meetups
As a game, Perplex City has but one rule: Any occassion with more than 2 cube hunters must involve alcohol. In this vein, a number of meet-ups and organized gathering of masses have been planned, both pre- and post- event. As follows:
- A clearinghouse of event coordination is at the unForums.
- Mind Candy is having a "post-event thingie down near the Palace."
- From the event page:
Q: Will there be any social activities afterwards?
A: We are currently considering organising something afterwards. We're well aware that players will want to get a drink or meet up somewhere, and so at the closing presentation we will at least let all players know about possible places to go.
- Endgame - map - link
- Sunday, August 13th, 10-5
- Right around the corner from the 12th Street/City Center BART station (red/yellow lines).
What is Known
On the Ground
As per usual with live events, reports from the scene are slow to come in. Here's what we know:
Running around the city
Many of the players ran off to all points in the city, to sove sundry puzzles and riddles.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Back at home-base, a large multi-page maze was presented.
