Yeah, I narrowed it down to the airship but unless there was something in the article from the bookshop in Lisbon I forgot, I had no idea where it was going and chose the Alps because I know that BRC takes place there.

I am so behind. I was at the part where you have to read the articles and make your own fake ID, now I got an e-mail on a new mission taking place in a bookstore. now I don't know what to do. I think I'll just give up

[zencat]

The missions are still all there. Play one or more when you have the time. New missions are not replacing old missions.

Oh thanks, then I will just keep trying

[Jeff007]

The next mission is up today.

This mission isn't working for me. My time isn't elapsing with my choices. Nor does anything happen when I reach the destination. ???

Ah, I know what I was doing wrong. Even thought you do move when you click the dots, that's not the way to do it. You have to click the finger directions in the sidebar to move. That's makes the clock countdown and all the obstacles and whatnot to pop up. Fun mission this week. I made it through the first time.

So, next week 5pm London time and then it's over?

[zencat]

Where did you find that time, andreab? When I played the game, it said X PM.

EDIT: Ah, never mind. I see it now says 5PM. Boss.

How do you get this bloody thing to work? I press everything, including the little fingers, and nothing happens!
Why does everything have to be so oblique with these games? Simple games hidden behind indecypherable interfaces.

[zencat]

Try switching sides, markT. I noticed I couldn't get the Russian side to work for me.

[marktmurphy]

Right you are- thanks for that.

The Shadow War concludes with LIVE EVENT, Wednesday 5PM (BST)

This Wednesday, 8th October, the Young Bond online alternate reality game The Shadow War will conclude with a very special LIVE event hosted by author Charlie Higson.

The event will happen at 5PM BST (British Summer Time) on the official Shadow War game site. Make sure you save the time and date. This is one mission you won’t want to miss!

[zencat]

Not sure how much I'll be able to participate in tomorrow's live event. It's gonna be one of those days where I actually have to do a little work for a living. Hate it when that happens.

Looks like it's tacked me into someone else's feed! Dammit, blastit and damnation. I can't hear what's being said and someone with the username Chairman Wow is speaking in the text box!

[marktmurphy]

Nothing is happening here...

[zencat]

I'm getting the hang of it. Just wait for Nevin to bring up clues and figure them out. Loved when Charlie held up the "help" sign. Tried to screen cap, but missed it.

[zencat]

Good fun.

Watch Charlie's sign off message HERE.

This is quickly becoming a misunderstanding. ALL copies of By Royal Command have the codeword

hidden in one of the logos on the back endpages -- click for pic.

20 copies have a different codeword that unlocks addition info. I don't know what that codeword is.

But the mission can be completed without problem with the more common codeword

fastnet.
