can i suggest people post a spoiler warning before any suprises. I'd like to know what to look for, so any reports that help me with that would be great, but i don't want to know EXACTLY what's gonna happen.

For instance, if the payphone theory is correct i'd like to know to look for payphones, but NOT what is said when the phone is anwered, so a spoiler warning would be appropriate.

I'm sure other people feel the same...

thanks

[EDIT] Moved this to discussion, please, ONLY post reports in the Report thread. --Giskard

You have a valid point, although it'll be a bit hard to read the Axon Report thread without being spoilered, as it'll all be spoilers essentially.

I'll do this though:

- Add **SPOILERS** to the Axon Report thread title
- As soon as the axons go hot, I'll post a thread in the General forum stating the nature of the axons, but not exactly what will happen. You can check up on it there without having to read through tons of spoiler posts.

The links got updated and now the main page is transmitting.
At first it looks like it's to organize or submit, but the original is still there if you click the bee at the bottom.

Edit:
It seems the white boxes are progress bars of some sort.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You possibly may have to give a codeword in that box to someone and it fills up that section. Although, they're all 2's. How would it add up to 77 total?

[meta] [spec] passphrases

Makes sense now.
The 210 coordinates are divided into 30 "locations" with 7 coordinates each.
There could be 2 pass phrases required for authorization.

[SPEC] Links change

The progress bars may be indicators as to whether the transmissions were successful, i.e. two completed transmissions (whatever form they take) is considered an acceptable minimum out of the 7 possibles.

Sorry can't access the other thread. Was watching the countdown on the coords page. they changed to boxes of 5 cords each each box has a mystery word or phrase and then a fill in the blank white box followed by 0/2. at the top of the page a single white bar replaces the green logo and has at it's right side 0/777. hope the mystery words are not pass words as the site is now down!!!!

From another forum, someone contacted a point already. I could be completely wrong, but I see no reason for this guy to lie.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I just found out what this was. I called the mall that it was pointing at near me, and they told me that its a photo op. You can get your picture taken with "Master Chief" and they give you a bunch of useless free crap like coupons and a Halo 2 poster.

It turns out that yes, they are progress bars. Now there's 1/2 hot axons in "jersey." I'm thinking that perhaps the Queen is using us for something and perhaps this new "patchwork body" of hers is acually us doing her work. After all, there are approximately 250 drones per hive. Wink

that means 1 failure.... 777/777 (as shown at top of links.html) is no longer possible. perhaps IF we got that it would have been somethin special... still if we can manage 2/2 i think we will be rewarded. i wanna know what they say when you give them the passwords.

Ok, so this is my thinking: We need to use the words next to the progress meters? Or we have to say "Melissa" when asked her name. What do you all think? We've only got 7 tries, and it looks like we have to get 2 of those 7 right at least! (which is why time is COMPLETELY of the essence)

Passwords

The mystery words such as "blip" "jersey" etc are the passwords you'll have to tell when the phone call asks you for it's name.

Once they get two right answers at each location, then bingo.
