[PUZZLE] LANGUAGE COMMANDS

I do not write so well in english, anyway:

I think that on the yellowbrikroad page we have the help for a language
commands.

example if you go in the about page and you click on the bee
you go in same page with some command inside:
www.ilovebees.com/reconstruction_archive.2.1.html you found
grope:
!dsc host sector tertiary
surg:
!reconst primary sector
mem broken>>dmg recurse
!extern proc 1
interrupt reconst

and if you click again on the bee
www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.1.1.html

the page have a name like a programming language

and again

www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.0.1.html

I do not write all the page and the command but you can find
easily

on the yellow.. page you have the example and the tips to
found the soluction:

reveal:
!law master-sector
master-sector:deploy:
seek
behold
reveal
master-sector:grope:
!hndshk extern
!seek transmit proc
master sector:
surg:
!triage transmit proc

Note the surg (i do not what mean in english) anyway:
www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.0.1.html

I'm pretty sure that if we found the exact sintax we can
give some command to have new information!

What you think?

I was wondering something similar, but how do we send those commands? I was trying to extrapolate all the math I could from

- Numbers mentioned in the wav files.
- Ordering of wav files (in groups) and their numerical order on the page.
- Number of seconds of each wav
- Number of kilobytes of each wav

I came up with nothing. I was hoping to find a telnet port on www.ilovebees.com via these numbers, or an IP address, or anything!

I think we have to found the syntax and what commands work!

We have a lot of examples on the site on the pages:
about, hives and honey

all of 3 have 3 subpages clicking on the bee.

all the subpage have strange computer code inside

but the best example we have in the www.ilovebees.com/yellowbrickroad.html
page.

This seems to me an example:

!reveal Princess:
seeker > !attach Princess
Princess >> !behold truth

reveal Princess:
Princess > !attach seeker
seeker >> cmd proc

But i do not understand how works all this

Looks like you us a ! to indicate a command (or it's the AI system's command prompt).

!commandname
seems to be how the flea and SPDR enter their commands.

attach TITLE

appears to me that the Flea is changing it's alias / name / designation in the system.

I think it's trying to spoof the sleeping princess, and then later convince her that it is the Queen. She's not fooled though.

[SPEC] Delivering a message

Question: Does Dana still have any kind of access to the web server? If we wrote a message in terms of code, to say, the Flea, would she be able to upload it to the server? I imagine if she uploaded a new file somewhere, Melissa, The Flea and maybe even the Princess would be able to find the file and "read" it. They might then talk back by editing the file.

I think I'll e-mail Dana about this, in case no one has as of yet.

Some people are trying to get Dana to upload the combined wav files as well as some other things.

Fat chance she will do that...not that we shouldn't try to convince her...just that we've been trying to get Dana to communicate with M for weeks now.

We should also try to find a way to communicate with M via the site.

Who knows? Maybe we'll be able to communicate on the site at a later point in time, once Melissa feels she's established a safe method with her "crew". Perhaps just a text box where we can type things in and "send" it to her.

It's possible, using headers, to send commands to the server. If you could create a set of commands to send, I can make a program to send them.

Trout. Look at http://qube.netninja.com/beewiki/ for the computer code.

Tom, please read more carefully next time. We already have a list of the different types of codes. What he was saying was if someone formatted a specific message USING these codes, he would write a program which would send our message to the server.

Would it be worth it to try and get the queen to kill the flea in the same manner that the flea tricked her into killing the SPDR?

The princess doesn't seem to like the flea, maybe we could get her to imitate a SPDR process...

I have a feeling we wouldn't be able to convince the queen to kill the flea, just on our account--at this point she doesn't really seem aware of the flea per se. She hears voices, but can't identify them. I was thinking more of trying to get the flea to communicate with us, and thereby get more information.

Also, I'll say that attempting to hack into the website to put a file on there is probably a BIG no no, same as hacking Dana's voicemail and hotmail are also big no no's. We have to get people to cooperate with us, not coerce them.

I haven't really had time to look at these, but this is kind of my sort of specialty. Anyways. Bear with me here, I'm pretty freaking tired.

This doesn't appear to be bang-control. This appears to be possibly more akin to a generic interface, or possibly a job control system. Why?

Quote:

!reveal Princess
seeker > !attach Princess
Princess >> behold Truth


Princess must first be revealed.
After Princess is revealed, seeker is issued the command !attach Princess. This is significant; seeker is being prevented from seeing Princess until !reveal Princess is issued.
Once seeker is attached to Princess (which is presumptively a seperate process or thread,) Princess is given the command behold Truth, which appears to pass through two layers - the prior !reveal, and the seeker's attach.

So, if we want Pious Flea?

!reveal PiousFlea
!reveal Princess
seeker > !attach Princess
Princess >> behold PiousFlea

Now, we still seem to be in a reconstruction phase. There's further evidence of this being a generic or job language.

Quote:

!dsc host sector tertiary
surg:
!reconst primary sector
mem broken>>dmg recurse
!extern proc 1
interrupt reconst


!dsc is a diagnostic command. surg: is the response, followed by the command to !reconst(ruct). mem broken>>dmg recurse appears to be "if memory is damaged, recurse the damage." Not sure why they would want to do that. The process is then externalized via !extern, and finally interrupted. The recursion is why the 'Try. Fail. Try. Fail.' I believe.

Thinking pretty roughly at this point, but...

!dsc host sector primary
surg:
!reconst primary sector
!reveal proc 1
seeker > !attach Princess
Princess >> behold proc 1

May produce some sort of results?
Somewhat wild spec on my part, but it does make syntactical sense. This would logically make proc 1 (!reconst primary sector) visible to Princess. ie; SP will now see what it going wrong with reconstruction.

This is what happens when you let nutjob developers like me loose in an ARG. Smile
