I don't think their intention was to ever be that specific. Takes away from the mystery.

I've heard a couple of rumors that say sometime around midnight, and others that say sometime in the afternoon.  I've also heard one or two that say around 6AM EST....so, good luck figuring out who's right.

i dont think this is the type of game to follow a "schedule"

the basis of the game is surprises and fun!

the monday pre-heist was great smile  i was hoping for a tuesday one too...

tuesday was match day though...

cant wait to see what tomorrow brings

No matter when it starts I will either a) be asleep b) be at work or c) be at school. I've got work 'til 5 and class 6-8 (EDT). I can check out the forums in both places but I can't take the time to actually try and solve the heist 'til I get home after 8. No fun tongue

There must be something better for everyone to do than to sit up on a Tuesday night and hope that they don't wait until the afternoon of Wednesday to post the mission.

I heard directly from Phill over AIM that it will be "sometime wednesday," "it won't be in the morning," and "it'll be afternoon/night sometime," and all this in the EST timezone.

lol its Thursday already here in good ol aussie! still nothing. i guess its good in a way because i have an exam @ 9:30 (last one wohooo!) and will be free for the heists (when and if they ever start!)

anyone ever think that maybe this was just to like check and see how many people will catch one? Phill refining his guerilla marketing tactics! lol

it would really funny if it ever was all just an elaborate prank!
