Jpydson, we are currently working on IRC details at the moment, I'll PM you when we have finalized plans.

Also I plan on writing an new IRC guide once we finalize the changes so keep your eyes peeled.

This should all happen fairly soon because DrTaru doesn't get knighted (modded) until he gets it done.

What is mac heist

This being my first post...I'd like to say that the 'MacHeist' concept is very original, and I can't wait to get involved in what appears to be a very challenging Heist!

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he has learned in school" - Albert Einstein

It will happen as soon as I get home, I am currently stuck at a relatives house due to the fact that I got four teeth ripped out of my head on Friday.

So most likely things will be finalized either Sunday a the earliest or Tuesday at the latest.

I see that you still have your fundraiser link on your posts.  You still haven't got a mac?

strong handshake to the lead designer.

As a noob to all this can you tell me how frequently the heist challenges are set?

There's not a set schedule or interval for the heists.

Thanks having read more of the forum I have the definite impression its all about wait and see

How often do the briefings come usually?

newb, so if this is obvious...

i finished the three puzzles, got 4 downloads (shovebox, valentines templates, process and .. something else) and got to the debriefing.

now what?

Wait.

Hi,

I joined MH when the Giving Tree started, so I don't know much about the Heists. I solved the mission a month ago with the help of the Wiki simply because I started it late and didn't know how long they are available. I'd rather solve them myself, so can anyone tell me how long they are open usually? Thanks!

I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure last year each heist was available until shortly before the new heist was launched. Of course, this could all change this year with the nano Heist and whatnot. I would be surprised if there was a time limit of less than a few days on each.

Life is like a box of chocolates; often good, sometimes disappointing, occasionally orange flavoured.

That's good to hear, I'll take my time with the Heists, then. Thank you, hanlonj!

I had to get help with the earlier one but this nanoheist was pretty easy.  Fun stuff.

This is my very first MacHeist and I can already tell my week is going to be consumed by it. Thanks a lot!

Just got to the nanoheist - was there one before that?

yes, there was one mission before, you can still play it...!

I'm new to macheist and so far it's been pretty easy. Maybe I'm just good at puzzles

wait for the real missions, they'll make you cry...

I hope I win... Macheist is a great thing. Talented people creating value for the rest of us, contributing some of the proceeds to charity. Awesome.

Hope you win? Do you mean complete all of the missions or be the first to finish?

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

How do I get to play that?  I can only find the nanoHeist and the new one.

this is my first MH and first MH post. i think it is rather fun. it is great to see apps that may otherwise not receive this level of attention, but i gather that is why developers join.

the (unofficial) podcast was an interesting listen. and lurking the IRC is comical at times.

the software has been interesting and an added bonus to the challenge of finishing the puzzles.

so, thanks, MH; i look forward to future puzzles.

Thanks for the useful note! Last time around, I didn't really know what was going on, and didn't manage to solve any of the puzzles.

Go, Green Monkeys, Go!

I'm looking at Macheist two (my first one) and when I see the apps I had thanks to it, Im' very excited to know what will be in the next bundle

very cool idea!

I LOVE MACHEIST

Why Macheist has to be mysterious?! I'm too old for this 007 kind of missions, let alone my laziness! :-D

Live like there is no tomorrow.

MacHeist is amazing! But it is a little annoying (and strange) how "new" users cannot post links or images. Is there any reason for this?

Go go go Green Monkeys!!!

It's so that nothing stupid or irrelevant gets posted

PURPLE FTW

It helps cut down on the spam that we get. Unfortunately, it makes it a bit difficult for new, legitimate members but it doesn't take many posts to enable linking and images.

I came in late on the previous heist and missed the build up excitement and the in the moment coolness of doing the missions in real-time with everyone else.

I love being actively involved in MH3 and am looking forward to how it plays out.

Thanks MacHeist!

Is there a limit to how long the loot is available for download?

How often are new missions posted?

Any bundle coming with this heist?

It´s gotta be green...

Yay! I just did my first mission. Thanks for this thread.

I'm new to macheist and really not sure what i'm doing just yet beyond the nano-mission, but i'm looking forward to anything that might come! thanks for the info in this thread, it's well appreciated

We're going to paint the web purple!

I wish I knew myself, things seem to come and go at "random" just stay active on the forums and check in regularly.
