It isn't the name already; that's just a chat channel. Cloudmakers had #evanchan. Don't try to lock us in so early. Plus we can definitely try for something a little more poetic, like Cloudmakers (in-game reference and just a cool name) or clever like jawbreakers (a spin on the game code-name Lockjaw, but otherwise no in-game connection at all), rather than blah and non-poetic beekeepers. Project MU players chime in!

Holy meta crap, batman!

a) The game hasn't even really gotten rolling yet
b) Is a name at this point REALLY necessary?
c) Does a name really matter at all?
d) Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
e) Can't we just play the game?

A name... how about "Hey You!" Think of the conversation surrounding it!

"Yeah, sorry I was late, I was playing Hey You."
"Hey me? But I'm right here..."
"No. I was playing Hey You."
"Okay, now you're starting to annoy me. I said I'm /right here/."
"Do you want to play Hey You?"
"..."

expanding on the idea that cloudmakers are involved, this is something that may be of interest for some of you, while searching for some more invormation on google about cloudmakers (I'm relativly new to ARGs) I found something in Yahoo, took a look at it, and it sent me to this page

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/cloudmakers/

Firstly this suggests that cloudmakers have something to do with Haunted Apiary, second, that they may be directly linked to the happennings at ilovebees.com

a link there about the ilovebees.com sends me to the the ilovebees.com website, with one minor difference, the address isn't http://www.ilovebees.com it's something else, relating to "Beast" the old ARG that was promoting A.I. if I'm correct.

A character in that ARG was called Evan Chan, he died as part of the game (died as it ARG die, not dead with bullet in head) and the new web address that I come up with is...

http://www.evanchan.ilovebees.com/

on that page it also comes up with the black box with text:

I see your point, but the idea that I was trying to make is that it was something that came from a cloudmakers place, and we all know that cloudmakers were involved in the previous ARG, so the fact that that link was including evanchan at the beginning may indicate that when you people were suspecting this a sequel may in fact be correct, but you do have a point about just sticking anything infront of it.

I'm just trying to help, thought some info would be nice, and on another note, could someone please direct me to a place of massive amounts of information on ARGs and Cloudmakers and all that kind of stuff. Thanks

and since I can't seem to find the thread I found earlier about the keywords [admins feel free, and please do, move this to proper place when it is seen] I've noticed some oddities in the source code.

While this thread has wandered a bit, I have to say some of the posts have me looking for my trout-zooka. Be warned! Search prior posts! James ² , this means you!
