A Planeswalker has escaped from Worldwake and we need your help!
This Planeswalker has left clues scattered all around Earth—our plane!—in the form of pieces of his or her own Planeswalker card from Worldwake hidden in eight different WPN locations. Beginning Monday, December 14 and continuing for four days, we will post the latitude and longitude of two of the pieces each day. We encourage you to seek out the piece of the card and participate in the global jigsaw puzzle to put the card back together. Together, we can track down this Planeswalker!
Be sure to return every day starting Monday, December 14 and see if that day's pieces might be hidden in your neighborhood. And on Friday, 12/18 get together at your local WPN location and discuss the results (and, if all goes well, the complete Worldwake card) at Friday Night Magic. Good luck. Now go get that Planeswalker!
We have the first two!

Here is the current assemblage of the pieces: (as you can see, it appears they don't perfectly fit the WoTC provided template...)
:rolleyes:I guess this is one way to spoil cards that I haven't thought of before.
Seems interesting, and honestly, as long as it get's a card spoiled for me I don't mind. I guess I'll pay attention to the announcements and hope one of the pieces ends up here in the NW

Nice, one day just before I leave the United States... Oh well, I just needed some balance to cancel out all the ominous pieces, and the idea is very engaging. Do they mean they may give out the physical card? Or just the spoiler of what it does?
Personal fantasy: the coordinates point to a payphone which will ring at an appointed time, if you answer you must solve a puzzle for a deranged AI in order to unlock your piece of the final product.

Sounds to me like they've put (or will put) pieces of the card on billboards around the U.S. Seems like the most practical way to do it. I'm hoping I get one near me.
Edit: Reading it again it does say 8 WPN locations. Maybe the pieces are posters handed out to 8 brick and mortar stores.

They are giving it to wpn locations, aka stores, not much ambiguity there IMO.
The coordinate thing also gives stores an incentive to not immediately spoil their piece IMO. (people flocking there to find out) Interesting.

This is a cool idea, but as I live in a State that WoTC cares little about, it won't affect me much. I just hope there are enough people reading this to find out the pieces early each day! I love new cards, they make my Johnny happy!
Secondly, hiya Zesty! Glad to see you around, despite the man trying to hold you down!
I wonder how they kept the WPN guys quiet for so long. Probably picked the most active WPN spots around the country (without just all going to the same state). I'm glad to see the WPN getting some more support though. o.ob
That'd be hilarious if they gave out the pieces to random coordinators and happened to get one of the many coordinators that I suspect just sign up to get the promos then never run events (I had a douchey judge friend who did that; I never reported him because the week after I found out he stopped playing/participating in magic events all together after his beloved dog ran away and he went into a big depression...).
And on Friday, 12/18 get together at your local WPN location and discuss the results (and, if all goes well, the complete Worldwake card) at Friday Night Magic.
I know they figure the Internet will have pieced together all the pieces by then, but does this suggest they might actually be previewing the full card at FNM on 12/18? Maybe even as a promo?
So people who run tournaments mainly. Meaning B&R Stores. We'll have everything by the 18th, we're skilled like that

This sounds fun. Although I imagine what exactly the clues will be... image fragments on a pendrive, to further drive the Muse ripoff point home?

Nice to see WOTC being clever with their personal spoilerage. I wonder if we'll get another New Year's surprise like we did with Planar Chaos.

Sounds like fun, something that really is a boon to a global community that can share the answers over sites this.
Lame. Well only 2 years left now.

Hopefully they expand further on this idea.

Welcome back good sir!
On topic, this is exciting! Too bad I know for a fact this won't be anywhere near me, but still this should be fun to follow.

This is a pretty common ARG technique. What exactly is a WPN? I assume it's some kind of special store? The article didn't really make it clear.
