 		I never expected *that*.
Wow! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
I'm surprised and thrilled to see part of my email to Dana used in her blog.
Following babbler's lead, I've added it to the wiki... here.

On first glance www.honeyhomestay.com appears to have been attacked by the Queen, but if you look closely it's actually just the site has been written by a 10 year old, possibly in Notepad.
Anyways, it has an e-mail address so I just contacted them.


All I get is a 'page not found' page; the typical 404. Did the site disapear?[/quote]
i mean the "The page cannot be displayed" page, er whatever

 		New Puzzle?
I'll gladly take my trout if I deserve it. ::puts on his helmet::

But I think these responses may be the new puzzle. Am I beating a dead horse? But I think that the snippets of e-mails used in Dana's reply on her blog are more significant than just her responding. I think that the people in those e-mails have made guesses that are significantly more accurate than others. Perhaps the puzzlers need to get a hold of this one, but we need to get a thread started for those claiming that she is responding to their e-mails and see what the e-mails consisted of, then piece together what all those e-mails have in common.

The same needs to be done with the SP's e-mails from ladybee777 account. I have a feeling that the TMNT thing was someone's e-mail sig and it was just spitting it back at us. It can't be random, it has to have some sort of meaning.

 		What info could dana have to convey to us?

She seems just as clueless (if not more) than we are.

Unless it's the PM's guiding us in a certain direction, but I don't think they'd do that through dana unless they REALLY had to, as it puts her OOC.

I agree about the ones from the PF/SP though

Why, that would be right over here in the Wiki. Mr. Green

As far as the TMNT quote, Macavity has confirmed that he sent ladybee777 a song containing those lyrics: "Turtle Power" by M.C. Hammer. I believe it is from the movie soundtrack. But I agree completely that it has to have some sort of meaning. The title of Sleeping Princess's Chapter V -- "need help right quick, on the double" -- is also from that same song.

My e-mail was the first one quoted on Dana's blog today. (Sorry, I didn't keep a copy) I think our three e-mails were chosen because they were very "in-game", treating Dana like a real person, and also because they echoed sentiments that Dana wanted to convey to the rest of us.

I do *not* think that there is a deeper puzzle in Dana's choice of e-mails for her latest post. On the other hand, regarding the e-mails from ladybee777, it is useful to keep track of player e-mails, just so that we can distinguish between "introduced" information and "recycled" information.

For what it is worth, in the unquoted portion of my e-mail, I told Dana about ladybee777 wanting to contact her, that the Sleeping Princess seems to be on her side and wants to help her against the Queen and the Widow, that she misses Dana, and that she should come back home, or at least write back to ladybee777. I also CC'd ladybee777 in the e-mail. So now she knows everything we know.

 		I find that somewhat interesting. I say this because, from what I've read/heard there is suppossed to be a 2nd Ring World (Halo) in the second game. I'm not saying there is anything behind this, I'm just saying this in interesting, in my opinion.

The Honey Hostel is located just at the side of the 2nd ring road which surrounds the centreof Beijing city so you can easily reach all the major sight-seeing locations by bus or taxi.



Sounds a bit more like just too much free time inbetween updates. Very Happy

And about the 2nd ring world...that would be sort of weird. I heard there was just Forerunner architects on Earth as well.

 		I was just stating what I think I've rea or heard, but then again the past few weeks (has it been that long already, Jesus H. Christ!) have all become a single prolonged blur of space and time. Okay nevermind, just read the sig.

Guilty Spark does say, in Halo, that Halo itself would not be able to destroy all life in the galaxy. That when it was activated, other Halo's would be activated as well, in a chain reaction that would wipe out all sentient life.

 		If the ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com email is being used by the AI, maybe we should email it and tell it where Dana is? It can't do any harm and it might get us more information. And if whoever emailed enclosed information about Beijing in china that would give it some idea about where to look.

I was also thinking that the Hostel is booked out until the 7th, so if you left Beijing on the 8th, you'd get back in time for the next stage to take place on the ilovebees.com website.

 		In my opinion: don't trust anyone/anything unless you have to, and don't give up/ provide info/knowledge unless you have to. I also believe that you that you shouuld know as much as possible about what you're dealing with. And one more thing, the only thing you should allow to influence your choices is reason (rational thought).
