First, from what I've seen, it will debut on Android. iOS will come later.
Second, from the support page I got an idea that it will be more of a local war, because only the neighboring portals can be linked (which is used to conquer the territories, and, consequently, the people's minds :gurt: ). But the world-spanning Metaguard collaboration sure sounds epic.

...now, we should just pick a side. :mrgreen:

We defended the human race already. I say we go for the antagonist role.

Please recall that my favorite trope is Magnificent Bastard. I could live with that. We will see, though. I haven't done a whole lot of research and I would need a new phone...

Guys, I know that this thread is specifically for other ARG's, but can we get back to work on ours before we add another destination on the Tram's track?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'd make a comment about other things acknowledged by xkcd that doesn't make it a good idea to do them, but Godwin's Law.

What I want, more than anything, is for the ARG to be acknowlegded by XKCD. Just for lols.
Of course that would also probably spell our doom under the onslaught of visitors...

How about we get Randall to acknowledge it right as it's ending, on the 21st? I'm, uh, sure we could pull that off. And it would avoid the onslaught-of-visitors-of-doom. And it would be EPIC.

About that, is it actually ENDING on the 21st completely? Just that strikes me as a really STRANGE time to end it - right before one of the biggest holidays in the world. I know they aren't expecting it to continue very long AFTERt that but... I dunno, the 21st just seems like an odd time for me for some reason.

Also it'd be nice for the game to still be in play when that THING we're doing, Qara (wink wink) is on ;)

You know, I wasn't too clear on that, either? I mean, it would be nice for the game to continue at least a little longer than that, just to tie up loose ends, denouement, say goodbye to people like Brad and Joan and A who are still around, and... also because of that THING.

Speaking of, I NEED to speak to you... no rush. Just next time you pop by the chatroom...

You know, I honestly think the game gets harder after the 21st.

The 21st is secretly the curtain fall for Act 3. Then we begin Act 4 that will be the Brutal Bonus Level. All the messages will be damaged or encoded by Eldritch interference and we'll have to sacrifice metaguards to appease some volcano god and sing a lullaby to Cthulhu. Fix'd.

A tablet....so you can do Ingress? I might join you...except that finding a tablet within my price range might be hard.

I thought I've said that already: Ingress is supposed to encourage local alliances. The global ones should be more like huge clans, or something. Which is badass too. :gurt:

If you're abandoning us for a "local alliance" in teh evul google game, then YOU ARE DEAD TO US. I HAVE NO SON.

(wait, you're not my son... what am I saying... well, it sounds more forceful than I HAVE NO DRYU)

If we make an ingress headquarters, each of us will lead his own local group inside our main hub. And that will make a global net of super-villains. That have read the Evil Overlord List. Think about it. 8-)
