On December 15th, 2017, Alice & Smith released the Whitechapel DLC for The Black Watchmen, a staple PARG (Permanent Alternate Reality Game) in the community. 4 days after the release, a live event began. This event is known as Operation TidalVortex.

The mission began as the situation room previewed a dagaz rune, and the event was officially classified as live, being named Operation TidalVortex in the process.

Briefing

On December 19th, 2017, at approximately 1:54PM UTC, a briefing email was sent out to all Black Watchmen agents. This email contained a classified document from site 7361, which proves that Mr. Whitechapel is behind the mysterious occurrences in New England. The email also contained a call to arms, telling all agents to go to the Black Watchmen Map and post a recording of them chanting the sentence A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, which is Latin for Watch from the morning till night . It is believed that once this chanting reaches critical mass, this intercepted broadcast will be understandable.

After agents received the briefing, the Black Watchmen Map along with the in game map began to fill up with symbols indicating an agent in that area had recorded and submitted their chant. Soon after these symbols appeared, audio cues of agents chanting began to play, each audio cue being repeated after ending.


It is believed that once enough agents record and submit their chanting, the next part of the event will begin. This is only a belief, and can not be confirmed or denied until there are facts to back it up.



As of now, this is all that is known. This page will continue to be updated as more of the event plays out.
