[UPDATE] 8/31 Dana's Blog "Eavesdropping"

[GunsmithCat]

Same game as Melissa? Maybe a subtle explanation as to why some of these don't fit together nicely?

Most interesting to me is the idea of "magic words"

[TheDuder]

Those magic words are very interesting. Could it be that these could be key words used to open future axons. Or perhaps they are code words used in relationship with the princess as she appears to be the one "eavesdropping" on the queen...

special words

[Mtrip]

She spoke about having a list of magic words, and listening to people's conversation to 'eavesdrop' on the future. The people's conversation's we're eavesdropping on are these audio files, so what are our 'magic words?' Maybe there are specific words interlaced throughout the files that we're supposed to pick out.

[Zemat]

Hey! How does Dana knows what we should be doing?

I know she's apparently only making some suggestions but she's being too criptic about them. Does she got insider info we don't. Are we sure her site hasn't been hacked as well!?

Anyone has emailed her asking for her inspiration?

[Grimlockx]

Technically, she doesn't know anything more than we do, but throughout the game, the PM's have apeared to send us clues as to how we should proceed through cryptic messages from her. Hell when a lot ofus were taking a stance that we didn't have to actually go to the axons, it was through Dana that they encouraged us to visit the points.
So no, she doesn't technically know anymore than we do, but her cute little stories are meant to be more than meets the eyes. I think we've seen enough of them to corroborate that this is the case.

The file names happen to seem like "magic words" to me. But that would seem too obvious.

So much dialog to sift through X_X

Yeah, Dana definitely seems on the inside. Her e-mail address has 777 in it!

[TheDuder]

I can't help but think that this little eavesdropping story has to be significant in the game. I say this because there is apparently no reason for Dana to be telling us this story, it sort of comes out of the blue, and she even separates it with *'s. Now I don't know if it is significant through the "magic word" or not. But I do think that this little tale is worthy of looking into.... especially the whole eavesdropping on the future reference....

[FX MacLeod]

I think the file names may be magic words as well. It might be possible that the theme of the .wav file is the meaning behind the magic word. Or at least the way it is used.

[TridenT]

Hasn't anyone already tried coming up with links between all the names of the .wavs? Surely we're meant to look inside the files themselves and find "magic words" of our own. Perhaps what we decide should be "magic words" may influence what happens next?

EDIT: In retrospect, perhaps we're being forewarned that "magic words" will be easy to find within the upcoming .wavs we'll be unlocking this week... or maybe in the next set of 4 (or so) single axons that may pop up after that...

i'd stick my neck out and say that, although in the context of the game, Dana is 'one of us', it seems clear that she is with whoever's in charge of the game. I see her as some kind of intermediary. She's helping us play the game, by kinda hinting at what we should be doing. I'd say pay careful attention to what she's saying in that blog. As it was rightly pointed out, when we weren't sure what to do with the axons, she suggested we should be there (kinda). So yeah, i'd say when Dana starts talking about games played by listening to people, eavesdropping, and we have a load of sound files we're listening to, on conversations, maybe we should be analysing them, to try and find out the future (as they're set in the future, no?)
