Thank you for posting all of this!

Just for information following a discussion above about where he lives, Betelgeuse is visible in the northern hemisphere during the winter. Thunderstorms aren’t common in the winter so Alexander is probably in the south. Australia area maybe, or South America (I don’t know how far south you need to be to see the star in the summer). Both of those have villages as well which fits some of the dialog. My grandson and I were outside last week talking about this star. Castor and Pollux are just above the western horizon (I’m in Colorado) and they follow Orion down. At this time of year we have the storms but Orion pretty much where the Sun is, well below the horizon if it is dark.

any news on the community event?

I wouldn’t expect it to happen until the weekend…that’s usually when the big ARG stuff happens because that’s when people are off work and more can participate.

well I mean it says 22/06, and it’s 22/06… might go live this evening though

Yeah…and today is friday…about this afternoon to evening just as the weekend is about to kick off.

Most of the United States is either in bed or at work right now. Expect something later today.

Yep…in about 10 more hours the East Coast starts to get off work in the US and it’ll be about 10pm +/- 2 hours across most of europe…so I’d expect thins thing to kick off in about 8 to 12 hours from now.

I do find that a tad irritating - they time the action to include as many people as possible, but it means that, for me, things generally only get going around 11.00 p.m. - and then carry on 'till around 3.00 or 4.00.

It’s the price of belonging to a world-wide community.

I totally agree and i don’t understand why they don’t mix it. They could start at different time and everybody would have the same possibility to invest (in live, not when everything is done). In wanting to involve west US coast everytime they lose Europe and eastern (at least people who work and/or have social life :smiley: ) With the delivered APV4 we can see that’s about 660/2280 who are living in UK+Europe+Africa+Asia+Oceania, not so trivial i’d say.

It’s all about compromises…there’s people into WT all over the world on all sorts of schedules…it’s literally impossible to accommodate everyone…I think it’s impossible to even accommodate half to be honest…they can just do the best they can. They have done things for different time zones here and there. Starting the ARG at different times for different time zones wouldn’t work either because then a lot of puzzles would be solved before some would even have a chance to participate and it wouldn’t be right to lock someone out of participating just because the time isn’t optimal for most in their time zones…people are free when they’re free…some work nights or weekends and have other times off.

I can sympathize. Try getting off of work and everything is already done and solved and the online comunity goes to sleep. Lol.

When things happen between 11 PM and 1 AM in France you really believe that people in Russia, eastern europe, Africa have a chance to particpate ? Even for UK, Germany, France etc… it’s hard except if easy as Claire yesterday. Generally everything is solved when we wake up.

Block #3 is progressing

So here’s the 3 days event: reddit

Alexander’s mind seems to be experiencing some degradation based around his relationship with his wife. The Myriad archive team has been working on his case, and they’ve recovered a setlist of the songs that were played at their wedding. The list of songs can be accessed through the Dashboard with the command alexander_playlist. Music is a strong trigger for emotionally grounded memories. I’ve talked with the Myriad team, and we think that hearing this music again will help him to recover missing memories about his wife, which will increase his mind’s overall stability. To that end, I have a special task for you all!

What I need you to do is call in to a radio station that’s taking song requests, and ask them to play one of the songs for Alexander. Get them to say his name, if you can. Record the DJ introducing the songs, and the song itself, and put them all together into one big playlist for me. You did really good organizing someone to be the point of contact for Eun Ha’s collage, so you can probably do the same sort of thing this time.

I need the playlist by 11:59 PM UTC on Monday. Thank you all for your help, and good luck!

Where did you get that info from? I do not see new info on the Redit linked, nor any talk of a radio station for requests. What did I miss?

@Emily, would it suffice if we sang the songs ourselves?
