WackyIraqi 2 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) The intersection just east of Spukayev's house is a better candidate. To me it appears that the RL terrain doesn't have a primary road, but is dirt. And the RL terrain doesn't have dirt path leading north, unlike the area just east ;) ... It could be that they are releasing hints now and will continue to do so until they have completed a new update for the Arma2 game in which they could have made changes to the land to store that first hint. Who knows? It could be the beginning of a scavenger hunt across BIS islands. ... Maybe they added some kind of "terrain destruction" into the engine. Red Faction anyone? :) Edited May 2, 2011 by WackyIraqi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max255 59 Posted May 2, 2011 How I said before, I can get there this weekend, but faster players are welcome. I want live feed of you digging there! xD Just kidding... I'm gonna be surprised if there is something to find, though... But also this looks like "next level" - we were too good at computer/web riddles so BIS gave us some RL stuff (if there will be some fire support/infiltration behind enemy lines/csar needed at some stage, I'm all in! :D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black² 10 Posted May 2, 2011 Well we need to be sure of the location because explaning why you're digging all around the town to the cops would be a bit tricky :D since when is it illegal to dig holes?

Like blow up somthing on the other end of town - just give me time to fuel the choppers and assemble my team! :D also, watch out for BIS employee snipers around there :V I can handle that too. ;] Geez...

Gedis 0 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) 42hours would mean it was already planned before the downing arma2.com, this, AAN announcement and screenshots leads to think that it's something BIS wants to get our attention to :) and as always my arms are wide open for BIS stuff ;) P.S. someone should make a countdown timer, from the very first second of the downage.

MilanCZ 10 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Too bad I can't get there sooner than next weekend. There is no straight highway following that direction and it would take me whole day to get there and back through the net of the not-so-good local roads. I hope somebody will be faster so I won't have to race against defcon93 on Saturday (forget Friday night - BEER) :) And nope, cops won't give a damn about someone digging somewhere, I believe they have no reason to be jumpy in this country and they dont even hang around settlements of this size :) Edited May 2, 2011 by MilanCZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max255 59 Posted May 2, 2011 Still there is possibility of BISnipers around the place - and they could be extremly dangerous! xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MilanCZ 10 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) ... Haha nice one :) But seriously, this is not how it works here. I guess you are from US. Our police, jurisdiction etc. is totally different story than yours. It's hard to explain. I don't mean to offend them, but they can't do sh*t and you can talk your way out of most situations when they bother you. Btw geocaching is very popular here, so that's already one excuse. Crime level is pretty low in most areas so they don't suspect people with shovel to be killers getting rid of evidence. I remember burying our hunting dog in a forest at his favourite spot, carrying shovel and big plastic bag with body in it, walking through suburbs, forest and nobody gave a damn. I bet I would be already busted in UK for animal torture, not being environmental friendly, carrying knife, concealed handgun and maybe even for possession of plastic fork. Some of local policemen are friends of mine and from what they say, they carry guns just because they must. There was even a case of an assaulted patrol not carrying extra or fully loaded mags because of weight. Damn, too much offtopic. On topic: Bingo! I have a friend who lives near this place, he could get it. I'll contact him as soon as he's available. Edited May 2, 2011 by MilanCZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_s 11 Posted May 2, 2011 You all still belive BIS would actually put something in the physical location there? haha :D If there IS something there, i'll give whoever found it a fiver. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-martin- 10 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I bet I would be already busted in UK for animal torture, not being environmental friendly, carrying knife, concealed handgun and maybe even for possession of plastic fork Getting busted by the cops in the UK is harder than getting your mother in law in to an old peoples home lol. (no offence to any mother in laws on this forum ;) ) They would probably stop and search you while you provide them with a fake name and address and then apologise to you. On topic: Bingo! I have a friend who lives near this place, he could get it. I'll contact him as soon as he's available. Nice one BIS devs are probably laughing their asses off if they know nothing is buried there.

MilanCZ 10 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) ... Haha sorry I was joking a bit, I meant I would definitely get some attention. :) Anyways the point is that I can dig a trench and only person who's gonna complain is forester about it being dangerous for wildlife. (happened to me) And if needed, I can mobilise my friend who owns a little company consisting of two excavators, so the mentioned BIS snipers can provide the devs with some really fun news. Though this kind of digging might get some attention after some time when mayor of nearby town finds out that there's a freaking crater in the countryside.

Daniel 0 Posted May 2, 2011 I'd have a scout around first. If it really is just Placebo sat on a deckchair with some BIS merchandise, the excavators probably won't be necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
