[META] Loose ends... Judging from the FAQ and PM chat, there are still some loose ends we have (yes, have!) to clean up...
- deeper meaning of The Aquapolis, strongly related to Delos. Also a/some hint(s) undiscovered in the Halloween phonecall
- more Dina pages
- other unnamed, undiscovered pages
It's not over 'till it's over, right?!

We've got to keep on rolling, baby!
I bet the other dina pages are hidden in her earlier works, so let's start rechecking!

Ok, places where they may be:
*"Thick" as pea soup (as stated above)
*Bisy
*The music on the Jesse Sketch. That was never really delved into
*The butterfly on 11/15
*This quote from 10/30
Quote:
I had the strangest thing happen to me this morning. I woke up after a soothing nap, and decided that I was going to open up that can of split pea soup and have it with some rye toast heels still left over from the other night.
*When taken with the "...as pea soup" post, are they interconnected somehow?
*Quote from 10/24
Quote:
Since then, it's been easier doing free verse, or internal rhyme, and not sticking to formulaic orange/door hinge type stuff.
A quick list. Just looking for ideas.

Wongmo actually lived in Chicago, but used other people's money to take a trip to Hawaii twice a year. This was undiscovered by the players.
Undiscovered? Where?

I think undiscovered as we did not make the leap that Wongmo etc. was travelling to Hawaii, i think most presumed that Phil went to hawaii to spy. When you look back there are little hints that just needed to be pulled together

Oh, BTW. I just realized it was never mentioned anywhere. There is a small egg in a couple wongmo songs that nobody ever picked up on.

I think that was my question. I was trying to figure out where Wongmo lived, but because he was not without a doubt Kane than yet, it seemed possible that Kane could have lived in Hawaii (see my reasoning here )
So, Wongmo/Kane lived in Chicago, which makes sense in terms of what Phil found on his desk (and also that answers the question of "why did he need passports to go to Hawaii?" - he didn't). I think what still throws me off is Phil's reference to Hawaii in an e-mail to Beth; it sounded like that's where he was going. But I thought that the general assumption from there on was that Wongmo didn't live in Hawaii.
I think what was undiscovered is the fact that Wongmo went to Hawaii twice a year.

I wonder if it is in the Music itself, the name or the time of each track.

Really? Didn't we gather that he went on those retreats to Hawaii? I guess we didn't follow it through to the logical conclusion that he was using his customers' money to take trips that were effectively lavish vacations, but I think it was kinda assumed and just left unsaid. Or maybe people just didn't bother to think it through, I know I didn't... eh, I'm confused. I just thought that the word "undiscovered" implied that there was actual info that we were missing. The PMs mentioned things we didn't find on other sites besides dina.thenekodas.com, so I thought this might have something to do with it. Dunno...

Allow me to either A) clarify or B) muddy things a bit more.
As I understood it and wrote the characters, AQN lived in Chicago but had a Hawaii fetish, quite possibly from growing up there and moving away. So when he created the Wongmo persona, Wongmo adopted an island feel and attitude. When AQN created Kane, he placed Kane physically in Hawaii, which is what Phillip was looking for when he went to Hawaii--some evidence of Kane's existence (remember the UH reference? U niversity of H onolulu) which he reported back that he couldn't find, but he did stumble across the secret of AQN/Wongmo/Kane/Fiona's identity.
Fiona was set in Arizona just to keep her distant from the others in a different climate. Remember Fiona mentioning the cool, crisp temperatures? Oops, that was AQN's slip as to his real location.
We also discussed a live Wongmeet in Chicago, but I can't say any more about that without giving away a good future puzzle idea

"Future puzzle idea" is now enshrined in the archives. We are going to hold you to that offer, you know.
