Spoiler (Rollover to View):

 		Oh and Bbobbo, you will find all the answers in either the first or second wiki and to find that see the reference forum.

Which is why trying to play trivia is silly. Rolling Eyes

 		oh, duh! Trout guess i wouldn't have been much help solving any puzzles if i can't even notice that one.

i actually did do a ton of reading to catch up on everything when i first heard about ilovebees a couple of weeks ago. but without making it a full-time occupation (like jane), it's hard to catch everything!

Actually, I added it the day that the Halo 2 cinematic trailer was released on the internets and we all had to apologize to Rowan for not believing her about the ilovebees.com URL at the end. July 23 according to my logs.

 		Any chance it'll be changed to the (no offense to the name inventors Razz ) more official and better-sounding "I Love Bees" when it gets archived?

 		ilovebees is already listed as part of the name. And a simple search will yield it up anyway, even if that were not enough for someone to find it.

What IS this obsession with the forum label, anyhow? It kinda boggles the mind.

 		I'm not obsessing ... just asking a question. The Beast had a name change, didn't it? I wasn't around for it, so I don't remember if the Cloudmakers had a player-invented name until the official one was released. The whole "Let Op!" part is cute, but it doesn't make much sense.

Maybe a poll should be started to see if we should change to the official ILB name (although it's a forum, not a democracy, I know, I know. Wink ).

Yes! The people who track the changes in a language (lexicargraphers?)
will now have to add "Let Op" to the list along with "shiny"* and "totally".






*Did any one else notice Zan (I think) use the word in the phone chat?

Oh, I know. I wasn't really picking on you. I've just seen it come up, and some people get more annoyed by it than others. The sneer upon their virtual faces, "Let op? I so don't get it!" is sort of adorable, but it just sort of begs the question of changing it at all. Who cares, honestly?

And, it totally makes sense to me. I think it's a nice reminder of how mysterious these games start out to be - they're amorphous, ephemeral, and undefinable. As time goes on, we learn labels, the lay of the land, the language, but up until that point, it's almost pure improvisation.

$.03, because 3 is a magic number,

K.
