So, at Gamescom in Germany this month - 18th till 21th of August - some of us will be happy to seize the opportunity to wander the overcrowded folks of gamers.
So will our dreaded Community Manager Chris "Evil" Priestly. And to add an incentive for not immediately running away when the cold, otherworldly shivers roll down your spine when you enter his sphere of influence, he is giving out some swag for each and every fan that braves his presence:

I'll also be wandering the convention halls randomly tweeting out my location. Fans who find me will be given some cool swag. I'm always keen to meet our fans, so look for me on the show floor and I'll be happy to talk about Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age and BioWare.
We hope to see you next week at Cologne Germany, or make sure you watch BioWare Pulse for live broadcasts from Gamescom!
What I propose and what I think this community is perfectly capable of, is to work as that wacky insane BSN and hunt that dude down for good.
I propose to form an organisation whose task will be to find him ... and help others find him too as not everyone has a twitter account and/or the ability to access said account to get the information he's leaking.
Thus, to ensure success in pinning him down, we'd form a "Search & Drag Swag" team that keeps looking out for him and his tweets, giving that data to participating members of this community via Mobilphone chain and locking him into place as good as they can for others to arrive timely to catch up on him.
What/Who do we need:
First off, we need some Ladies and Gentleman that have access to the tweets of @masseffect and @dragonage so we can react. I for one do not have such, and blindly walking the shadows is a pretty ineffective/inefficient way of finding someone in those crowds. So if any of those interested guys do sport the ability and will, feel free to ask!
Second, every participant WILL need a mobile in order to participate in phone-chains, as screaming atop our lungs won't get us far ... apart from possibly being dragged out of the convention center that is. And no one wants that. This includes sharing your number with participating folks (more on that later on in this post!).
Third, participants are NOT required to sacrifice their time at Gamescom or stalk everyone that may look like Priestly. All we need is when not occupied to remain moderately vigilant so that when he crosses your path, triangulating can begin. Otherwise, you are free to engage in playing demos, asking stuff, chatting with friends, eat, drink and whatever you people do when visiting Gamescom (or similar fairs/conventions ... obviously).
Interested?
Come and join the BioWare Community Group "Hunt Down Priestly - Team "Search & Drag Swag" (social.bioware.com/group/4919/)
Phone-Chains will be optimized so that no member will have to call more people that absolutely needed (one person per chain at minimum, the maximum should be two members, but only if we get a LOT of members). Optimization will be discussed and processed within the BSN Group.
Please tell us if you have access to twitter upon joining the group (or here is interested but still having questions) and when you will be attending Gamescom.
A word of Caution:
Participating in phone-chains obviously means sharing your phone number. Before any of this endeavour is getting even close to realization, we will have to discuss on how to preserve safety of those contact-informations to prevent misuse!
Exactly that is the point of discussion this topic primarly meant for (apart from making this project known of course). The last thing I or anyone else wants is having to change once mobile-number or sorts because the number was leaked. Also, phoning people costs money and if the system works, we WILL be phoning people! This means only people that are absolutely certain they want to participate should think on this and if we don't come to a working conclusion, or if any of the BioWare staff of Moderators think this is too risky, this entire thing will be blown in the wind.
Let the discussion commence!
