@cestpasevident if you use pocketcrowd, you can set it for a future check-in and it'll check you in while you're sleeping. then if there's an epic swarm you'll still get it.
That's true, but the problem remains: if I ask pocketcrowd to check at a given time, and that the epic happens 5 minutes after, it becomes an epic fail ;)
No u would still get the badge as long as the epic swarm happened with the first 2hrs after u checked in. The only issue that you would have is if you dont already have any of the other swarm badges then you would only get the first one that you didnt have and have to check back in again to get the next one.
anyone that could help spread the word on twitter to their followers as well as other people who can help spread the word and would want to join in on the swarm event, it would be greatly appreciated. Let's make this EPIC happen!
I just added a tip, so I hope that helps. If anyone knows of foursquare forums in Indonesia, or Europe, or other countries that usually participate in these, please post the info there!
I just contacted a guy who's twitter name is dens (www.twitter.com/dens). He apparently is Dennis Crowley, one of the creaters of foursquare! He has over 30,000 followers! He said he is going to retweet the info out for the epic swarm event tonight! Hopefully, this will work then!
This guy is the co-founder of foursquare as you can see here : https://fr.foursquare.com/about If each of his follower check-in tonight they will need to create another badge: super epic or super duper epic or something like that ;)
Let's hang in here a little longer. I set my Tweet for 21:15, figuring people wouldn't get here by 21:00. On Foursquarefox, I see check-ins going back 43 minutes. It could well be that people know about Twitter, but not about Foursquare, and not about badges. 3=P)
