[UPDATE] Ok, so now we vote (404 page update)

Oh wow! Good one, DM!!!

With all due respect DM, I think we really, really need her to answer the Andy G email about the nature of the Pious Flea.

Either that, or start a massive write-in campaign for one of the other major mysteries: http://bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mysteries

[Dorkmaster]

I hear ya, but the only ones that are really intriguing to me are the flea one, the PaulC question (cuz that tells us about the nature of the Queen, the flea and the SP), and for some strange reason I really really like Bellebet's question too. (I just have a feeling it wouldn't be included unless we could gain something, but then again, this is a game...)

I just am SO excited though! I'm sorry, but this is SOOO cool! I really want to hear from Bellebet, PrinceoftheSword, and all the email writers too! I want to hear their takes...

Edit: While I understand the Mysteries part, I feel like that's "against the rules" and the Princess, whatever else she is, is a gamer. She likes the rules, and it's all about her wishes right now. I feel we gotta choose from just these options.

2nd Edit: I love that she's smirking. That's right in our faces... It's just so frustruatingly awesome.

Oh, and, uh, BTW... why is SP posting plainly to the website now? She has done this a couple of times before ("problem quite interesting", "innocent bystander"), but usually she hides her messages in e-mail or in corrupted images.

Is she no longer afraid because the SPDR is gone? Is this the manifestation of what she said in last week's e-mail (i.e. that it's easier to be brave now that Dana's back in play)? Are we confused about identity? Something else?

(Sorry, I realize this is a bit OT)

[Dorkmaster]

I hear ya Extrasonic. this is why I feel my questions are still of importance. We've got the SP for now, and she's willing to answer questions, so let's find out what we can about her, and then we can judge those answers for ourselves in future submissions!

[GunsmithCat]

That is completely awesome.



And She only posts in sly, out of the way places. Her most obvious was over the image and I think that was a clue to look for her in the images.

very interesting... very interesting indeed.

looking at the options we have, i would have to choose either andyG's flea question, ar belbelet. while belbelet's quetion seems whimsical, it might be a big payoff, if the SP gives us some info on something she needs. amore powerful or active princess would certainly make things pick up, methinks.

also, it looks like the question game isgoing to be ongoing, since she is soliciting more questions... i wonder what the tun around time will be?

This is very cool! Finally a big time in-game character interation (besides Dana, which is more like a 'general' interation)...

So, what do we do now? Which question seems more revelant to be answered? Like DM said, his questions, if answered, will reveal more of the SP character.

I was wondering "Ok, she is willing to answer the winner. But, will she tell us what we are expecting to hear?" For instace, in Andy G's question about the Flea. She may not give any clue about the flea at all, it will be just her opinion and that's it. (I'm saying this because she doesn't seem to know a lot about the flea, only what she spies)

My point is, we should pick a question that will give us a lot of info, based in what she knows more (herself!).

IMO, DM's question fits right there.

will some one please copy the text or post a direct link I forgot how to get to that page.

[clamatius]

I'm still thinking about it but there's 2 immediate options that leap out at me.

1) Bellebet (" Is there anything you need to brighten up your room?") is kind of a setup question. You're hoping she'll bite so you can reel her in with a bigger question.

2) Kevin V("are you a copy of her that has got a new life(?) And could you tell me your function(?) or that of the Queen's(?)") is a risky shot. We don't need her to tell us about the Queen really because we know enough at this point. But the Princess herself is a real mystery - hell, we don't even know whether she's human-origin or Forerunner-origin - so any light she sheds on herself is most welcome.

She's already told us a bunch about the Flea so I'm not sure it's worth pursuing Andy G's question at this point.

so, i just fired off what i think could be a very important question for the next round: What is the sleeping princess' name, and what does it mean?

and i think i will vote for the flea question in an hour or so, unless the consensus here shows me a good reason for something else.

later ya'll. it's lunchtime, and they're unchaining me from my desk! yay!
