So - throwing this out there to get discussion going.
So - throwing this out there to get discussion going. if there really is a G+ end coming - what should we do with the Operation Essex Community? How would we archive it? Where would we move to (Forum Boards are the ideal type of structure). Thoughts?
I have come to side with the majority on this. It is am elaborate prank community-organized event. Not one of the principals from Niantic has even mentioned it. If it were real, they would be pumping it.
ReplyDeleteSeems that way... Either way, just making ppl aware of it.
ReplyDeleteSarah Rosen you're so sure of yourself
ReplyDeleteIt's an elaborate player-run event, which doesn't totally surprise me given that no official Niantic account ever interacted with Margaret or the BDRB. That's not the same thing as a prank.
ReplyDeleteBryant Durrell Umm, true. I think Sarah Rosen might have used the word "prank" a bit strongly.
ReplyDeleteBryant Durrell I fixed it for you.

ReplyDeleteYeah, looks like this is the reason the the Op Essex board has been spammed with those Mystic posts.
ReplyDeleteI've spoken with the person behind this and expressed concern that it wasn't made clear from the start that this was all fan-fiction, and that Essex ended up being used to put a veneer of canonicity to it. They will try and be more clear about it in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think the entire event was a stunt by Nviea Sarriha (can't link to his profile because restricted his account) to sell t-shirts, and it was dishonest of him to not admit that up front. https://storify.com/bauserdotcom/the-tedio-conspiracy
ReplyDeleteI'm a little disappointed how gullible some members of Operation Essex were. I thought you people were supposed to be investigators.
Nviea seems to be deleting/hiding most of the involved accounts now, but Tedio Global is still pushing the t-shirts.
Michael Bauser I found that writeup fascinating, did you intentionally leave out the link between the names themselves. Evin Harris and NIVEa SaIRRAHa?
