What do you do after you put in the passport information?

[zencat]

Click below on the words "submit passport" (or whatever it says).

[terminus]

Yay, now the page is working - last night the stamp thing wasn't working.

I was trying that last night but it wasn't working for me. Seems to be working better now. Thanks.

That's quite fun.

Good stuff. I didn't expect the OGPU and SIS sides to play the same missions, though. Maybe each side will come to a head later on in the game.

Still, good fun and some nice nods to Fleming in there.

[zencat]

Are there Fleming nods? Funny, I didn't catch them. But I did enjoy the Young Bond nods like "Birds of Lagrimas Negras" (hey, that's kind of a Fleming/Young Bond mix).

Did you hear about the 20 special editions of By Royal Command which contain special codes for finishing Shadow War, zencat? I've not heard of these before- that's one for the collectors!

Oh, yes, I've heard about that. Gotta get me one of those 20!

[003.5]

was it only 20 or 1 in 20?

[zencat]

"Only 20 copies worldwide."

[Double-0-7]

Good to see the stamp was fixed, that was driving me nuts the other day!

[zencat]

Mission Two is up. I'm currently stuck on the crossword puzzle. I have a unique problem figuring out codes.

EDIT: Mission accomplished. A 9-year-old has nothing on me!

[marktmurphy]

I suppose it's for kids, really- doesn't take too long. Very nicely thought-out, though.

There's a very good interview with the game creators here:

That 9-year-old may have something on me. I had to work at it a while before the answer suddenly occurred to me!

[terminus]

Done it. That was quite nice. I'm guessing we might get to go abroad next, perhaps off to Corsica.

Complete! The crossword took a bit of nutting out, but it's all done.

Are there Fleming nods? Funny, I didn't catch them. But I did enjoy the Young Bond nods like "Birds of Lagrimas Negras" (hey, that's kind of a Fleming/Young Bond mix).

I was thinking of the Birds of the Virgin British Islands, which, I understand, are part of the British West Indies (i.e. Birds of the West Indies).

Mission Three is up.

EDIT: Fun mission. But know you have to have a copy of BRC in hand to make it through.

[andreab]

Ok, so is there any way to complete Mission 3 if you don't have the book? (not that I wouldn't buy it if I could - but they don't sell any of the books in my country --I got the first 3 through bookmooch.com-- so I'll have to figure out how to get my hands on it eventually).
Could someone please help me out? I don't want to miss out on playing Shadow War... the missions so far have been kind of easy, but I've enjoyed playing anyway...

[zencat]

I sent you the code via PM, andreab (and I'm happy to send it to anyone else who asks). I'll ask Puffin if I can reveal the code on my site so people who can't yet get the book can finish the mission. But I still don't know the rarer code that only comes in 20 copies of BRC. I'm VERY curious about that.

[marktmurphy]

I have the book but I've got no idea where the code is.

EDIT: Oh I see.

'The Shadow War': Mission Four

Plus, are you holding a very special copy of 'By Royal Command'?

[terminus]

For some reason, when I log in it doesn't say my username on the welcome page.

It greets me as Agent Rianroxin - and when I go back to try and log in again, it says the person who was logged in is 00Wolfe.

[zencat]

That's happened to me a few times, but my name has always popped up if I hit refresh.

[marktmurphy]

Yes, I suddenly even swapped sides at one point today- I was playing as a Russian but got greeted by the SIS chap!

Took me ages to find the last difference in the shop, too...

[terminus]

Finished, that was rather fun. Tougher than the first few, I think.

[zencat]

Mission 5 is up. (I kind of bumbled may way through this one without really understanding the clue trail.)

[marktmurphy]

Perhaps I'm too tired but I have no idea what all this airship stuff means. Haven't a clue what I'm supposed to do on the map screen- am I trying to identify one airship or say where they're all going or what?
EDIT: Hmm, pressed all the buttons until I hit the right answer. No idea why it was right- it wasn't in all of the bubbles or anything. Particularly rubbish one, that.
