Agent @dylanamite has come up with a great idea IMHO. https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/3dtskw/can_anyone_in_sydney_melbourne_or_brisbane_help/ But I think we could be more persuasive. I'd use a message like the following posing as a Psychology student looking for help. If anyone ask for more info, we could say that the thesis is about how people behave when is asked for help by an stranger, or somthing like that. Spoiler: Message I'm currently working on my Psychology thesis on Human Behaviour and I need a little help. All I need is one person who can send me 4 photos [insert location here] following this instructions: "Any medium-high traffic bus station. Photo of station and surroundings." "Any medium-high traffic inter-city train station. Photo of station and surroundings." "Any medium-high traffic metro, subway or inner-city light rail station. Photo of station and surroundings (interior or exterior of station)." "Any taxi within a city. Photo of exterior of vehicle." The co-ordinates of where the photos were taken. They must be taken by this volunteer itself, photos found online doesn't count. The deadline is 17.00 UTC Monday, so I'm in a bit of a rush. It'd be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me out here! Thanks a lot! Also feel free to PM me for more information. Doing a quick calculation: 9 cities -> 21% mission success 24 current cities -> 56% current mission success I think we need all the help we can gather to at least archieve a 75% so I say we use @dylanamite's idea and flood social media asking for help.
Yeah, unfortunately I learnt the hard way that asking people to take photos of train stations could be seen as... suspicious to say the least. But honestly I think we could make use of online sites such as reddit for finding contacts in other cities where we have none
I'm not entirely sure of the etiquette as I'm still new to the black watchmen, but what about agents that have posted in the recent Location, Location, Location thread? Infection posted in there that they are from Sydney, but it's hard to know if they are aware of the current live mission? Is it appropriate to send a PM saying "hey, not sure if you know this is happening, but we could use your help.." or do we just assume people would be involved if they want to be involved?
I'd say it's most likely worth checking that thread for anyone in the cities we still need and sending them a message. They've posted on the forums so I'd assume they're involved in the Black Watchmen, and this is an official mission!
I can finish up Austin today. I was leaving the last two in case someone else wanted to get in on the fun too. I should have them done in a few hours if no one else jumps on them by then.
Please let me know if the Munich contact managed to get the pictures. If I don't hear anything until Monday noon (local time, MESZ), I'll go.
Copy that! The work of my contact was slightly delayed but at least I've got coordinates for a Taxi. The remaining intel will be delivered to me tomorrow morning. I'll report back with the results till tomorrow 11 o'clock MESZ.
Update on Munich: Receiving the required photos right this moment. Inter-city and urban train, subway, bus and taxi have been covered. Sending the intel to HQ ASAP.
My contacts didn't come through. I sent a picture of the main Rome train station, but that's all. Dammit!

So guys, we've hit the deadline. I'm amazed with how well the community has worked together over the past weekend and I think we can all be proud of ourselves!

If someone have time for it, it could be interesting to archive this mission on the wiki I shall have done it, but I don't have time these days
