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

Okay everyone, if you have any #6 hints, please give them out now. I'll be leaving my house within 30 minutes to go stage somewhere. I'm still divided between City Walk, Lake Eola, Crossroads, and I-Drive/Sandlake road area....

I can only guess the clue, "...Where there are plenty of other androids." is fluff, because I can't find anything to hint me off that on Google, and if it's actually inside a disney park....F that. I'm not paying $12 to park plus $80 for admission, just for a chance to find something located where there are at least thousands of other people already at. People line up at 8am to wait to get into all of the Disney parks in the middle of tourist season....

Either way, wish me luck and THANK YOU to everyone here for being so nice and as helpful as DroidLanding could let you be with their backward clues. ^_~

Well I am pretty centrally located here in Houston, so I hope that give me an edge. You're right though; this place is huge. Here's to hoping for a gift card...

I know, my friend and I did a carefull analysis of all the possible locations in houston as well as cross checking with other clues for the other cities to find some sort of pattern but we came up with at least a dozen possible locations. I'm at work so it would suck if they give out the clues before 3pm but just in case I have my friend, my sister and my girlfriend on standby. haha.
 
i just wish i knew around what time this would go off, i'm also at work, and can't stay glued to my computer screen all day. just a before 2 or after 3 kinda thing would be nice, plus another buffalo clue, i don't like how they didn't give out the final clue before the coordinates yesterday...i messaged droiddecoder and they said they weren't sure why the west coast wasn't following the format
 
i was also thinking the mall at millenia/ikea, the two story mcdonalds, or ripleys beleive it or not. not too sure...ORLANDO IS HUGE!

im thinking i am just going to go to one of those spots and be prepared to drive like a bat out of hell if im not in the right area.

That's what I'm doing. If it comes to a car race, you'll have me beat. My car cannot even pretend to be a sports car, with it's 2.0 litre engine. lol

Anyone think it would be crazy to camp in front of a Verizon corp. store to see if I see a group all getting into one mini van or something? lol
 
i don't know about the verizon store idea, b/c there are no verizon stores in the city of buffalo, and if they go outside the actual city i'm gonna be PISSED

Good Luck! If it truly is in Orlando, I hope you're the one that gets it! I'll be sure to keep an eye out in case it's in Tampa, or near there! I would definitely go towards lake eola or near there, and look for semi-popular eateries, IE the melting pot, or cheesecake factory or something like that
 
Oh, and even if the clues aren't true, I would perhaps check out the Rainforest Cafe... It's tropical ("unless you count hawaii. droid x counts everything"), and there are animatronics ("plenty of other androids"), and its a pretty popular eatery

in my mind lake eola is just as average as every other place what sets it apart why should i wait around that area versus lets say sandlake/i drive
 
I was talking to Louis, and because most of the locations were somewhere near water... and because its towards the center of orlando i think, so easier access to everywhere else. Droiddecoder said somewhere near southern orlando, so if you dont want to wait there, then go to south orlando

Dude, get some of your 42 people and locate them @ the VZW stores and wait for the employees to pack up. Certainly they will be driving from a VZW location before they get coffee and hide the card...

You can just be standing there when they try to hide it.

"...no need to hide that Sir, I'll just go ahead and take that please"

Lol haha. I was just joking lol. It's just me hunting by myself....trying to scare off some competition lol. But i was reading a blog earlier, and the poster mentioned the Regal Cinema that's located right next to the Cheesecake Factory, since the last few phones were placed by restaurants. But who knows...it's Seattle. My personal bet is on either the space needle, the convention center, or Seattle center..

I would call BS on the 42 people claim, but don't want to get into it...

I've already found #7, but VW says to be fair, they still have to play along with the tweets. They are just going to tweet that it's been found 1 second after tweeting the co-ords. Sorry guys, might as well stay home in the PNW.;):p
