SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Red Weather Balooon.

Yes, this is a game. No I can't give you too many more details. This is taking place in the United States.

If you have seen an 8' weather baloon moored near a road in your area, PLEASE let me know. Not kidding. PM me here. Thanks!

Quick!  Cue the "Lol Wut" Pear!
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

If I were you I'd try sneaking into Area 51, I hear one of these weather balloons crashed there.

Its going to be hard to find them yet, judging from the website schedule, the balloons aren't launched until December 5, 2009.

If I give you an accurate lat/long for one of the balloons, and your team wins, what's my cut of the $40K?  :)

There are ten. I just checked and they haven't been deployed yet, but keep an eye out for them. They will be in the continental US.

99 balloons is not over my head, but your first sentence asked if it was just one.

Funny how there were no balloons in the centre and the north of the country.

I eventually joined the team at Geocaching.com, but alas we got beat by MIT.
