DefaultTSW-RP.com In-Game Event: 2/1/13 9PM EST

DANCE LIKE ROBOTS! IC DETAILS!
Starting today, you might have seen a small, colorful, glossy flyer; maybe plastered to a lamp post or telephone pole, stacked neatly on the counter of a diner you frequent for lunch, possibly tacked on the walls of your favorite pub or dive bar. Or, you might have been handed one by Maggie "Poplock" Pelletier, personally. Upon flipping the flyer over, you would see a (probably) familiar Brooklyn neighborhood mapped out, with a variety of instructions printed on the back.

DANCE LIKE ROBOTS! OOC DETAILS!
Hello, everybody! I'm MarkItZero, aka Hex, aka Poplock. I'm the site owner of TSW-RP.com and I am proud to present our first in-game event: Dance Like Robots! - a celebration role-playing, community togetherness, and (of course) ridiculously danceable music. All brought to you in a super tasty 320kpbs stream, by our friends over at Radia Free Gaia.

WHAT: Dance Like Robots!
WHEN: 2/1/13, 9PM EST. Check your timezone!
WHERE: New York Underground. Look at the map!
SERVER: Arcadia. But all servers welcome!
MUSIC: DJ Quantum. Radio Free Gaia!

Hope to see you there! Any questions, hit me up on the forums here, on TSW-RP.com as Poplock, or on the Twitters @yopoplock!

DLR! PUZZLES
Beings this is The Secret World, we couldn't just throw all the information out there. Instead, we hid a few event details in released media over the period of about a week. Now that we're done making you work for your information (or are we?), check out the mini-puzzles below.

PUZZLE 1: WHAT?
The first mini-puzzle was found on our "save the date" flyer, and it unveiled the name of the event. The binary on the borders converts to "dance like robots" in ascii. Solved by TSW-RP member Mollycoddle.



PUZZLE 2: WHERE?
The second media release unveiled the location. Following clues in this article about a robot named Caeser, TSW-RP members Mollycoddle, Feleth, and HikariKenzaki arrived at the following scanned image.

That's exactly right, Mollycoddle! The name of the event is "Dance Like Robots!" -- really, could an event hosted by Poplock be anything different? Nice work, and enjoy your new TSW-RP event badge.

Super sleuths Mollycoddle, Feleth, and HikariKenzaki unlocked the most recent puzzle; a URL, Caeser ciphered with right offset 17, that decodes to bit.ly/13jxha6 - a URL that links to yet another scan that shows the entrance to the event. Nice work, and enjoy your I <3 robots badge.

Hello there! You will be able to do a Meet Up request to transfer over to the appropriate instance of Arcadia. Add Poplock to friends, right click the name in the friends list, then select "Meet Up." VoilĂ ! You are partying.

As of right... now there's 3 days, 10 hours, and 50 minutes until Dance Like Robots! cranks the fun dial up to roboEleven. Be sure to clear your calendars this Friday night and come party with Poplock and DJ-Quantum.
