[SPEC/META] New take on the Axon Puzzle (like we need one)

[subatomicsatan]

so, are you thinking that they posted these coords just to see what we'd do with them and then they'd do their best to make whatever the general consensus becomes happen?

if so, i bet they are now saying to themselves, "holy crap! how are we going station people at each of these locations?!"

if so, i bet friday's update will see a very reduced list of coords.

Well [subatomicsatan], (1) you have gone off topic, but this was intended to be a spring for "other generic reasonings" for the axon puzzle anyway, so I think it's cool.

(2) The only pertinent part that's been discussed in other forums (that I am too lazy to find) that may discount your (cool) CD-ROM theory is that it would have no basis in-game. Now the arguments have been made that a puzzle doesn't have to have a motivation in-game other than to lead to further in-game information... HOWEVER, in this case, since so much has been made of the fact that "SPDR dug these roads" "Queen ordered for these roads to be made" and that "Princess laughed at the throttling of SPDR for his mistakes on said roads" (Ok so quotes may not have been appropriate, but you get the point... ) So there's gotta be some in-game motivation, otherwise this is one of those parts where you've REALLY gotta suspend belief.

So in reply, I don't know... I think it would be so awesome to have a courier part involved (like the end of the film Se7en, but without the gory aspect), but I just don't see it justified in the story... But I could be completely wrong too! I just think that they really could do whatever they want and then justify after the fact, with VERY good writers. That's what this spec is about, trying to see what they could do with OUR spec! How cool would it be?

edit for clarification as to whom I was speaking with

Aelith and MusicToEat both had, what in my opinion, are the best theories to date. You can find them here, but here's the gist:

[Puck]

Nice idea, but that doesn't explain the PST/PDT thing. (The looking in the direction of the times thing.... the direction still might be associated with the pairs between cities.)

[GWing_02]

Or perhaps the PST/PDT is just to make sure we know whether it's Queen time or local time?

It seems a bit far-fetched, though... the four/three minute intervals are a bit rigid for that sort of work, ya?

[Wild Spec] Something else to consider

[Dorkmaster]

I like it, but there's really no in-game link yet... I'd say hold onto that, and we'll see with the update tomorrow (and if there's not an update tomorrow, then... well... We'll find out on Tuesday, I suppose...)

But there's just not much we can do with that right now... But if that's the case, great detective work!

[midas777]

I hope I do this right.. This particular forum seems to be looking for new angles anyway..

How many of the previous coordinates changed (and I mean the most recent)

For example Austin, Texas changed.. I found it interesting (going way out on a limb here) that the previous address intersection was Maine and Colony North (relation to story?) has now mysteriously changed to an address near our Texas Capitol... I will be checking out the site (the new one) but I am starting to wonder, if some of these locations are pointing to bees or spiders, etc, if that fits somehow. I did see some evidence of some of the locations other people went to having some sort of bee connection. Just a thought... we ought to keep an eye on the coord's that were changed... like I said... totally (SPEC)
