Wow. That's definitely the last thing I expected to hear. So who exactly said "It's the mooninites all over again"?
At the beginning of the year, the promo people from Aqua Teen Hunger Force put up basically Light Brights all over Boston with the image of the "mooninites" (the aliens from the moon) on them. It created a big bomb scare. Here's the link to the Boston.com story:

okay. We made contact in Dallas. My guy is with Macheist right now. Will update you as I know more. Sorry for the teaser!!! But at least we have something.
Diane, this case gives me a strange feeling... this is one of Cole's blue rose cases.

Berlin: Missed, but 2nd chance with mobile phone (if they can find the phone)
huh? Is that so? This heist started a long time after 2 pm on local time here (or at least it popped up on my screen just a short time ago). Sure it´s not tomorrow? Why then – I live in Berlin, could make it there. Surely not at 9 pm which has been an hour ago for me ...

Status so far:
Berlin: Missed, but 2nd chance with mobile phone later tonight
NYC: Waited for an hour, but no contact. MH Agent arrested?
Dallas: Made contact with MH Agent, awaiting update.
San F: Maybe

This whole waiting for a secret message by a pay phone was bound to get one of us arrested. I like the mailing thing better and at least Ben Franklin was a real person. I know, hindsight is 20/20.

Who was arrested?
The Heister from NYC who waited for the MacHeist contact or the MacHeist contact (who was arrested and therefore was a no show)?
January 4, 2008 9:17 pm
The MacHeist contact.

Wow, this should be an interesting story when it comes out... 
Turning GREEN waiting for the bundle!
WTF? LOL! OMG! ROFL!

I know you guys are gonna be frustrated, but I'm doing everything I can do. I'm 400 miles away from the Dallas drop off, and I'm at work and I can't save the friggin' world right now.
Here's the update from Dallas. I had two guys on the ground, and the Mac Heist contact missed them. He was driving around the block waiting for them, and somehow they missed each other. After leaping through more hoops than anyone wants to admit here, I made contact with the Mac Heist guy myself.
My guys were called into a meeting at BOA and were not able to get the package from the guy. HOWEVER, Mac Heist left the package at the security desk at the bank and my guys are going down to get it after the meeting.
As soon as I hear from them when they pick up the package, I'll get right back with you. Bear with me, gang. We've got the package. We just don't know what it is yet.

At least we know it's going to be picked up!

Wow - now that is dedication! 
How in the world did you get in touch with the MH contact from 400 miles away? I am sure that it is a great story in the making!

I don't see how we could be frustrated with you sending out your minions to do our bidding.

I'll have a MacHeist story to beat the band, I tell ya! After I have a margarita...
Sorry for sounding all huffy. If I worked at a cooler place, this would have been so much easier. My boss is intolerant, to say the least...
And just to bring some levity to all this, I think it's endlessly funny that a "secret agent" is dropping off an "unknown package" at the security desk of a major bank, which is being picked up by IT Security. That's crackin' me up.

Thanks for all the hard work Apt.

How did you get in touch with him?! Please tell!

Being the Devil's advocate here for 1 min...
1. Missed Berlin - calling phone from Chicago heist - which we have no idea if it even still exists, because it is in the hands of someone that we cannot get in contact with.
2. NYC - gone. Contact arrested - no further information or instructions.
3. Dallas - package awaiting pickup.
4. SF - forthcoming - no reasonable expectation of a heister being there at the moment - no confirmation of that anyhow.
Even if 1, 3, and 4 come through - with the missing NY package - I would have to think that the mission is a bust with out a key piece of information? I know that we are all putting a lot of effort into this, and that John and the boys put a LOT of time and effort into it too (btw - thanks for that!), but at this point is there any reasonable expectation that this heist can be completed?
eh - I know everyone else looks on the bright side, but if we all did that we would all go blind

A quick look at google:
Aggramar is a male Vanir Titan. The bronze giant stares down impassively, his body wrapped in a gold toga. A huge, oddly-shaped sword is sheathed across his ...
I don't know WOW

On the IRC it said there was an 'e' on the end ACCRAMARe - which is it? Sounds like an anagram to me....
It's easier than you think to be a little greener
January 4, 2008 10:37 pm
... sorry that should have been AGGRAMARe not ACCRAMARe

OK. In Dallas, a flower arrangement was sent with a note that read, "From your friends at Stormwind City"
Can't tell you what kind of flowers they are. THe guys are security IT guys. They know code, not horticulture, unfortunately.
Anyway... World of Warcraft, anyone???
Rock on.

Stormwind City is also in WoW - I think this is the right track.

January 4, 2008 10:48 pm
I know nothing about WoW. I just Googled Stormwind city and WoW popped up. Hope somebody plays and is ready to meet up. I'm not your girl for this one! Sorry!! Can't wait to hear how this ends...

This is why we need the other 2 clues. :-)

In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are not.

I haven't played WoW in about 6 months or so but Stormwind is easy to create a new character (human) and get to in short order - I would have to believe that someone here is still playing WoW since there is a Mac native install and all.
Go Team Green!

More than happy to help. Just wish I would have known a couple of dudes in NY and Berlin. I would have been ON IT.
Massive thanks and a huge chunk of credit go to Chris McClimans and Hinds & Shinowski and BOA. Couldn't have done it without them!!!!!
