not necessarily, since chicago ones are jumping all over the list.

I'll agree with you if all of the geographically clustered points are also chronologically clustered. If not, it might be interesting to see the "path" that's created, even if it does double-back on itself once in a while.


Good point, I didn't think about that. In my head they all go around in a circle which most likely isn't the case in-game.

 		I think we should try two things, (which I know people are working on, so thanks!)

(1) "road" plotting from San Fran to these locations (one way only, like a hub)

(2) connect the dots, chronologically (starting with San fran or not)

It looks like it's snaking around. Just doing the first few manually, you can see that it starts in D.C. and then goes to Cleveland, then New York and then Massachusetts (if I recall correctly).

Not really, if you consider the fact that the ilovebees.com server is in Washington, D.C. (which is discussed in this thread: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5654 and has been on the Wiki since 27 July 04.)

If you believe that using the real-world location of the ilovebees.com server isn't too "meta", then this would appear as though Melissa has hewn a road from where she is now to the last place she knew Dana (or Margaret, or Farnsworth, for that matter) was.

 		I may be wrong but hasn't the text on the funstuff page changed too? The text about the memories and building a body and tracking dana are on there... Probably put there because they give the most indication of what this is all about...
Right under the text about bees guarding valuables.
Man if I go to one of these locations and there are actual bees I'm outta there.
Hmm...Wouldn't that be something - the PMs get nice and sadistic and plant a real beehive at each location with a clue hidden inside... ha ha go get it beekeepers...

 		Just as an FYI I don't see a chronological ordering for clusters. This is map showing coords and times for the ohio points.

 		The new coordinates and times, in a handy Excel spreadsheet, with Mapquest and ACME links:

EDIT: now with location descriptors by town and state, courtesy wishi-san. thx!

Oh, and I almost forgot - it might not me significant, but there are colour changes through the orange table borders. Right through the 3 minute interval section.


Sorry, it's not trickery - the background just one large version of the BUT_FUN.GIF ... and everything else is a DIV with a white bg.

Nice job, AngryEd. Note that you missed one - the first Cleveland one, and the second one on the list (41.511567 -081.607317).

Are you going to cover these? I had been considering taking the day off of work to hit them, but if they're already covered I probably won't...

Wow! That's great... small observation: your spreadsheet only has 210 rows. Did we lose 10 coordinate points between the SPDR and Melissa?

 		Ok, here's a list of generalised locations. Trying to find somewhere I can leech addresses off.

Here's a new list

A lot of the coords seem to have changed, so it wouldn't be surprising. Cleveland had four - now it has six, and most (maybe all) of them have moved.

 		Well, taking these coordinates together, this looks like a list of places and times to be. The Pittsburgh locations seem to confirm this...

40.451597 -079.932884
06:27 PDT
(09:27 EDT)
Shadyside - trendy shopping strip

40.435801 -079.957633
12:14 PDT
(15:14 EDT)
South Oakland - student housing (not the nicest place, but targets the densest student population in the city)

40.406460 -079.917196
14:02 PDT
(17:02 EDT)
Waterfront - big, trendy shopping/housing development

Why do all these times have to be during the business day? Censored

 		Extrasonic, I believe we did, and I'm thinking we lost the "wilderness" areas... But we'll see.. I'm opening a new thread to discuss that possibility. Also, I KNOW we lost the Sears Tower location (which I find odd)...
