At the least, it serves as a confirmation of the ordering of the .wav pieces. I don't remember the specific instance, but as I listened this morning, I was a bit surprised to hear one segment in a different place than I expected it to be.


Yeah, emergency.wav came earlier than I expected. And there were a couple other slight differences from what I thought was right.

 		It's interesting that the Princess hasn't put the "stories" in the same order as the Queen did. The Princess has them ordered as Jan, Kamal, Jersey, and the Queen has them ordered (by the numbering of the .wav files) as Jersey, Jan, Kamal.

I can't see any obvious reason for this, maybe the Princess is more interested in the Jan story for some reason?

Another thing I just noticed - If you use the Princess's ordering, the names get progressively longer as you go down the list... like a staircase:
Jan
Kamal
Jersey

 		"All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men
couldn't put Humpty together again"

There must be some relation to the nursery rhyme. We're obviously the Queen's horses and men because we assembled the .wavs, but there must be something more...

If we're the kings horses and men, we couldn't put humpty back together again. But we did, didn't we?

Unless it was REALLY important to correct those slightly "out of place" wavs we had...?

Commandeered? VERY interesting choice of words, normal people don't "commandeer" things, its a military term. So far, SP has only spoken in parable, or with the voice of an inocent child, but now she's beginning to speak in military lingo.

i'm getting a little scared that the SP might actually be the covenant virus, wouldn't that be teh suck? we trust her implicitly, then she turns on us


[SPEC]Or it could be even worse. She could be a program from one of the halo's that where built by the Forerunners. If 343 guilty spark could survive, who says other parts could make it too.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but don't both the words "commandeer" and "steal" imply taking it into possession? So, won't the Queen notice the files are missing? SP didn't say she *copied* them, she *commandeered* them.

Good point, I forgot about that... it just doesn't seem that different, though. I'll listen again.

 		On the note of humpy dumpty, I wouldn't go as far as to say one out of place file chnages it all. I think she means it more simply that she's just pieced Humpty (the transmissions) together.

Why did she not piece together the latest transmissions then, if they have all gone hot (I mean the ones before the ones that just went hot on friday or whenever it was)?

I wouldn't loose sleep over this page. It has nothing showing any real importance, but things related to Humpty Dumpty might be passwords if destegging is needed.

She does like her stories, and If you wanted to cheat, I suppose you put thinks like dwarf.html or princecharming.html at the end of ilovebees.com.

But that would ruin the fun and you wouldn't know what order you had gotten the pages.

But I digress.

Actually, it seems that these pages aren't uploaded until the clues are there. for example, how many of us tried gretel.html when we read about Perdita's balloons, only to get a 404? Later, of course, the page was there.

that is one of the good things about this game; it's very hard to cheat, and peek ahead, unless a character wants us to Smile

 		Oh well. Thanks Max Damagefor doing all those WAVs until now.
Good Job.
And I lke the idea that maybe we could look a the steg (or whatever) because these are the originals.

 		While we are on the subject of SP has anyone emailed dates and times when they would answer a phone or is this the result of that?

For reference...

Instead of doing another question this week, tell me what day and times you are most likely to be talking to her, and I will sneak up to her tower and listen to what she and the Flea are up to. But I really truly don't want to get caught, so if you tell me a time to go, please make sure you have her attention then!

Last week I emailed her about Robynn and I going out to get axons this past Sat. We only got one of the three we were trying for, but I warned her that the first two would be iffy. Smile

 		Actually it looks like our reward for that was the embedded text that came today? http://ilb.extrasonic.com/index.php/Talk:Fourth_Phase_4_Corrupted_Images

Quote:
Introduction
DANA.JPG - The queen was worried about one of her messages not getting through. She is Suspicious of You. She went along one of the secret roads to see what was wrong. As soon as I saw her go, I ran up to the tower, where I found some new stuff that she was holding back in case her security was compromised. I've left you clues about where to find it, if you're clever...



Or does that sound like something SP just did when she saw an opportunity?

Maybe a little of both? *shrug*.

Like I said, I emailed her about the 3 that we were going to try. Two didn't work, one did, and of the two that didn't, one of those was the correct phone though it went bust. We got the ring and the pickup, but the volume was way down so it didn't go hot because the other end couldn't hear us... Well, okay, me. (And not for lack of yelling.) I did email the SP afterwards with a, "hope you didn't get caught" and an explanaition about the volume problem in the hopes it could get fixed...

While I'd like to think that Robynn and I were the cause of this...

Probably not huh?

Ah well. Very Happy

 		BTW, people keep crying "Steg! Steg!"..

I've tried the mp3stego again, using both the combined clip names, and the titles SP gives them, as passphrases. No luck anywhere - not even the sort of thing we got before. Feel free to try yourself though.

get mp3stego here
