 		[INFO] yellowbrickroad is the answer to the AndyG question
I'm posting since nobody seems to have noticed this, but:

http://www.ilovebees.com/yellowbrickroad.html

Is the answer to the Andy G question found on the 404:

http://www.ilovebees.com/404

Everyone seems to be waiting for an email or something, but READ it people.

Andy G
Would you be so kind to reveal the nature of the Pious Flea, that is, what is its purpose? A mere servant of the Queen or something greater?


The Princess responds to our vote:

Quote:
Lots of people have asked me about the Flea


What is the flea's nature?

Quote:
I recorded the last conversation I had with that nasty guy so you could see how basically sneaky and gross he is and yuck.


What is the flea's purpose?

Quote:
Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth
That is the law and the whole of the law


A mere servant of the Queen or something greater?

Quote:
Yeah - she's still got like hickey marks on her neck. Gross.


Quote:
So you got her to build stuff for you! You honey-tongued little bloodsucker, you.




Bottom line: vote for a disappointing question, get a disappointing answer.

 		Ah good observation. This makes sense.

Also (it could be nothing), but the <title> of yellowbrickroad is the 404 message, which seems to be the SP's comfort zone (as the location of the poll on the 404 page might suggest).

 		Me doesnt think its a disappointing answer. Me finds it fairly hilarious. Am glad there is still asense of humor all around.

Don't forget, its all a game, unless directed as a TINAG...

 		Woot! My question got answered, that's cool. Cool

Not too informative, but rather humorous.

way to go, man! you're in the Halo history books now. Wink

And I disagree: the text is very informative. The name of the file itself is a big hint, I think. It implies that finding out about the PF is equivalent to taking the road to Oz, where a puppetmaster holds sway over the city who likes to puff his image up with smoke and lights. He is a parasite by nature. "The Queen" now is essentially a shell for the Flea's will: "seek, evade, reveal, survive"... All this has been confirmed in game, so we know at least where the track behind us lays, if not where the train is headed before us.

edit - I'd imagine it involves Dorothy getting the hell out of there, though! Wink

 		I figure it was a pre-made cookie cutter puzzle. think about it, they could've put the answer to any question on yellowbrickroad.html, and the discovery of the page still would've involved all of the same steps.

The Princess uses some fairy tale references that thus far don't seem to have meant anything allegorically, though some have.

I'm sure that everyone already knows this by now, but for the future generations reading this particular thread years from now: Andy G didn't win the poll. Paul P did, as shown on the new ILB 404 error page today. It was awfully nice of the Sleeping Princess to give us more information on the Pious Flea anyway. Maybe Andy G's question came in second? (I know I voted for it.)
