-5707 is just what results when you take the number 1-800-464-4444 and treat the dashes as subtraction operators...it seems unlikely that that number would be the mailbox code, but I guess it is worth a try. No worse that any other random number, in any case.

[HMMMM]

Random speculation but please bare with me


Could someone please try calling a few diff numbers
415-628-1212
415-628-1312
415-620-1212
-------------------
theory
415-248-2617 <-- Dana's phone number
415-820-1409 <-- Queen Bee TV's phone number

all possible ways to subtract em

tell me the response

this is just getting silly now. there's no reason to go calling random numbers. any information we're going to get will come from emails from the entity i suspect

[Paradoxic]

Yeah, again there isn't even a tiny reason to assume that this Queen Bee TV has anything to do with anything. There is a microscopic possibility, but that's about it. If people remember something having existed (or can find easy proof of it doing so, such as whois) since before the start of the game, then there is a 99.99% possibility that it is not actually connected. All we need now is a bunch of paranoid players calling up Queen Bee TV or Mappa or some poor university's AI program or whatever else to ask about this and then assume that the person is lying when the person doesn't know what is going on.

We'll get more information when we get it, don't worry, it will come and we'll have more to do. Deep breaths people.

About the voicemail password...

In the other post about editing the sound files, someone posted a sound file that had 5 tones in it (sounded like "high high low really-high high"). If you ignore the really-high sound (it doesn't seem to fit) you are left with four tones.

4 tones = password?

On my phone, this could be 2212, 5545, 8878, 3323, 6656, or 9989.

Give it a shot?

Rowan speaks truly.

Think about it: if someone, other than you, that is, figures out the password before you do, then what is to stop them from being malicious and cleaing out all of the voicemails, and even the greeting, and then locking down the voicemail access with a new password?

Everyone is screwed, and it solves nothing.

There is nothing in-game, to date, to indicate that this is a path we should take. I would recommend against bruting access into a voicemail - there just isn't enough information to warrant such action.

Yes I know it's in the same block, cuz it actually is there. 2370 is a huge business complex with many units in it. #510 is one of them and that the one addressed to Margaret's House of Bees.

It's like apartments, there's more than one 1340, that's why you have to put "apt#(and the number of the specific unit)"

It's very likely to be a PMB (personal mail box) at the UPS store.

I used to work at a Mailboxes Etc (before they were bought by UPS). The PMBs are essentially PO Boxes that are run by the store. It's quite common for small businesses or individuals who need a public address to get a PMB. It's usually easier and more available than obtaining postal PO boxes. Plus they'll accept deliveries from UPS, FedEx, and other carriers.

When I was working at an MBE, it was quite common for people to use the term 'suite' with their PMB number. (777 Whatever Road, Suite 900). It made the address sound like an actual location. We'd occasionally have people come in wanting to drop off resume's in person and be disappointed to find out that what they thought would be an office was a box in the wall.

The USPS declared that the PMBs had to be labelled as such (777 Whatever Road, PMB 900) on the delivery addresses. MBE fought this and the eventual compromise was that the '#' symbol could be used as an alternative.

So the fact that the address given is #510, and not Suite 510 says to me that this is a PMB, and not a real office.

If it's a standard UPS store, the renter will have a key that lets them retrieve their mail at any time of day or night. It's even possible, and highly likely that all mail is being manually forwarded to another address, and no one will ever physically show up at the store to pick up the mail. This was a common service that we did for people who were travelling - we'd take all the mail that arrived for the week, month, whatever, pack it into an envelope, then send it to an address designated by the renter.

I wouldn't bother with the actual location. The UPS employees don't care. They're also not going to give you any information about a customer. The box was probably openned under some other name, but they're not going to give you that information.
