[FOUND] Echo Location: The Berghoff, Chicago (URGENT!!)

Postby GuestUser17 on Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:22 pm

Mr.A tweeted earlier - WE HAVE DETECTED A POTENTIAL HOTSPOT. POSSIBLY. DEPENDS ON WHETHER HE'S WORKED UP THE NERVE TO POST HIS AD: http://fm.ezblog.twwf.info/?p=45

That leads us to The Berghoff on 17th West Adam Street. He did post on Craigslist - http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/m4w/3364687452.html

That means someone in Chicago should meet there at 9:00PM SHARP tonight.

I checked with a friend there but he was unwilling to go tonight but could head that way tomorrow in case no one gets the echo tonight.

I'm actually not sure we have to be there... the Echoes canonically are left behind -after- the event, so we would be able to pick them up at any point.

Actually, if I understand correctly... This Echo is conditional to Frank posting his ad.
Someone should go there to encourage Frank to post it should it prove necessary. No?

Although, the fact that he gave an exact time raises the intriguing question of what if we did send someone at the right time and place for him to be there?
(Too bad we haven't got anyone in Chicago to find out.)

Pixel-- check the Adam thread or the comments on his blog; it's confirmed that he posted the ad. Against my better judgement, I might add.
Why are we even arguing about a dead fictional dude and hypothetical ninjas?

All hail Wacky. Your sacrifice will be forever remembered!

So what would be the urgency? Sure, the Echos seem to have a time limit (Mr. A had to reset, what, two of them so far?)... But then again...

GuestUser17 has found these echoes by reaching out to people he knows. I fail to believe he's the only one of us with an extended family.

We all gotta be more bold about reaching out to friends and acquaintances in Chicago. I get the impression there are going to be a LOT more of these things.

Actually... I have a cousin who spends some time in Chicago. She may be there right now. I'll try and get in contact, but It's probably too late tonight...

That would be awesome! Also, yeah, I'm sure tomorrow is fine. The GM's wouldn't give us a task with a one-day deadline... would they?

You know, something seems kinda weird about guestuser.... It sounds like a name made up quickly, and it's to a man who has several family members across the US. Hmmm...

WMG: Guestuser is a GM, or he is a PM.

Doesn't make sense. Why set a bunch of echoes just to plant a PM to find them for us?
...He's just Batman, and uses a generic username to avoid revealing his secret identity.

Yeah. He's Batman.

Batman confirmed for ARG.

I'll vouch for GuestUser17, that he's a player. He's active on Unfiction and has played numerous ARGs.
True, there is the possibility he's on the production team with this one, but I'm seriously doubtful.

His twitter account is pretty old. Timeline check is negative.
You have to accept the truth that there is Batman among us. I know it's hard to grasp the awesomeness of the fact, but you should try.

Indeed. The guy is legitimate. 100% confirmed to be Batman.

That also means we need to try to help too people! As awesome as he is, we can't just shove the echos for him to find and leave it at that.

Since this one is in Chicago can't we call that wizard guy? He said he was in the books, I'm sure he'd be willing to help.

I get it (love the series) but I probably wouldn't have made the connection without clarification. Or some other hint, like mentioning the T-Rex stunt or something.

While I'm all for a rousing discussion on The Dresden Files, that small font is really hard for me to read. Stay on topic, guys ;)

Finch, did you mean you can't make it period, or just not in the time frame of the personal ad?

The time of the personal ad. I think I can find a time, but I still need to get a smartphone.

Thanks to those that vouched for me from Unfiction but I will go on record that I am not involved with the production of this and there is so much happening that I barely have time to follow it as is. I do have a lot of contacts, mostly through my job, and several of them now have Girl with Dragoon Tattoo art work on their walls as a result. You can look me up on Flickr to see some of the other events I have been involved in. One of those left me with Peter Parker's cell phone but unfortunately it is not "smart" so I can't help you out Finch but I do have a friend that will head there after work if we need him to. I would have gone to the location myself last night if I could just to see who/what turned up. :)

Well.

Is that all, or have I missed something?

Also, How did you get Peter Parker's cell phone number?
