Oh MAN...and here I am at work on a Windoze machine that won't load avatars. I feel like I'm totally missing out.

You're not missing much. It's actually a little disconcerting to look at.  smile

I'm actually quite excited by this mini 'live' heist, I'm in Manchester UK but it's really fun just watching what's going on!!
Arrests, missed calls, mobile-phone walkabout... It's the stuff of heist films!!!!!!

Keep it up (Oh, the software is awesome too, makes me want to buy more mac software from small developers.)

+1 to both quoted comments.  ptoal, you rock - great summary of 4 pages.  Too bad I didn't read it before I read most of the 4 pages... tongue

Susanabra..... playing with whips and chains when all this drama is going on? Tsk, tsk.  ;-)  I don't need restraints to keep me riveted to THIS story. The hoops that Dallas jumped through are fabulous!

I hope the arrested secret agent is OK.

Yeah, but I'm in Denmark. Old ladies who play with whips and chains are considered (fairly) normal. Old ladies who stay up all night heisting on a Mac are not considered normal. But I've been here for the last two hours, even if I did take a break and behave normally for a while. On the other hand, I may have to go to bed, just when things are getting really exciting. I am an old lady, after all...

Congratulations Agent, for reading this thread to this point!

In case your mind has gone numb from all of the finger-pointing, and flaming, here is a recap of the last 4 pages of posts:

1. There was a scheduled drop in Berlin, but no agents made it to the site.
2. The mole has given us a Plan B, which involves the Cell Phone used in the Chicago Mini Heist.
3. One of the Agents involved in the Chicago heist has the cell phone, but nobody knows how to contact him, except through his IRC nick: mav728.
4. The phone will ring at 21:00 ET.  If it is not answered, it is unclear on the next step.
5. There are 3 other locations where drops will happen in North America.
6. This is a _game_ people.  Have Fun.
7. The Troll that started the flame war has an avatar that looks like a D!*k-face. :-)

Cheers,
Wolf

Thanks for the recap. Reading through this mission thread reminds me of why I didn't have children. Warbrain, I like you, but you're a magnet for trouble.

As curious as I am about this, we gotta keep it clean for the kiddies everyone...

From macfoo on the Chat:

Met a character called Haigha, who says:

I have a message that the operatives of the directory will find valuable, if my tardiness ay be forgiven

An associate of mine wants to help you find something you are looking for, but requires a small task of your first

He asks that you acquire one gross of Shiny Red Apples and bring the to him in the Coldridge Valley. He is waiting for you. Good luck.

Apparently they have to buy the apples.

We have contact from the mole:

I have been attempting to ring you in Berlin for the last twenty minutes with no success.  I see that this is another failure to communicate on your part.  You are supposedly the best, I expect you to act like it.

I will provide you with a fallback plan just this once.  Several weeks ago I provided you with a cellular telephone.  I will call it at 21:00 ET.  I will only ring it once.  Do not fail me again.

IMHO, The concept of this mission was a complete failure.

Where did that come from?

The site is developed using RapidWeaver - any significance?
