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.

Website Information


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:

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).

On the scene

In IRC

"To aid your progress, it would be wise to collaborate with your fellow helpers. In order to do this, you should join the chat room called #pxcsflive on irc.chat-solutions.org. If you don't have an IRC program, you can connect online here by typing "pxcsflive" into the channel box."

That is largely in-game. Meta and spec can take place in #pxcsflivespec also on irc.chat-solutions.org.
