"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

I think if you are less than 1/2 an hour away you have a decent chance... How many followers are there for this? Maybe a few hundred thousand for the WHOLE COUNTRY?? Also, even more are only just finding out about the contest and probably didn't even think much of it to even try. Then consider that most people have to drive in, find parking, get lost and all.... if you have the GPS updated on your phone, you have a chance!

The ones with the best chance are the ones with the best knowledge, and that is US!

"Long Time" looks like it may have an X type image to it. The building in Dallas, where I think it is, is Rennaissance Tower (Renaissance Tower | 1201 Elm Street, Dallas, TX - Amenities, which has a BIG "X" on the side of it.

I'm going with that theory. Any "x"'s where you think it is?? I'd head there.

Both Morbid and I think Ren Tower is a very likely place.

Though as I posted above, I also think Reunion Tower/Park could also be a likely area.

Gamble OT but did you ever play at an event run by a group called "Pocket Ace's" I lived in Va Beach for awhile was in the Navy then stuck around after till i moved.

Yes I did, a loooong time ago :)

Pocket Ace's would play at different locations certain days of the week. Now there's a poker hall in Portsmouth and a couple locations in Va Beach that play for "charity" ;)
 
It could've been actually sooner then 30 minutes they just didn't post it till a couple minutes ago. :/ Lucky SOB! haha
 
it says it was found at 4:35 which is only a couple minutes before the GPS coordinates were posted so that means everyone had about a half hour to find it which is pretty damn fair i think.
 
Nice. It was a long time ago over three years ago now. Might have ran into you never know. My buddy James was working with them for awhile working it. I am in Dallas now so looks like I will have plenty of people out there looking with me.
 
Hmmm, thinking for the future...

Looking at the Sat map, That seems to be the "long"est "dock" in NYC...Dock, not Pier.

The clue is back up on twitter:

Droid hunters alert! If you are in NYC, go to N 40 45.173 W 74 00.599 to find Droid X designate #4

Wow this board is updating fast. I went to get a glass of water, came back and refreshed DroidLanding to find the clue back up. In the time I took to cut and paste it, all the posts about the guy who found it were there.

Congrats dude, whoever you are. Next time one of us gets it!

the tweet went up @ 4:32 EDT and they said it was found @ 4:35 EDT. Literally was 3 minutes later.

I googled the guy and he actually lives around that area (2.9 miles). I'm sure he was on the hunt and luckily lived near by.
