Thank you for the response Weephun. See people, polite and mature conversations about game decisions CAN occur! They're not just a myth after all.

Also weephun, I apologize for sounding like I thought you were with-holding info still. I didn't I was just aiming that to all the crew. I know you've told all now, and I can understand that you're sick of answering questions, so thank you for being nice enough to take a few moments out of your day to answer me.

As for being a "judas" I think people will discover that the SP is not who we think. She's too likeable. I'd also like to say I hope to join you on the list of betrayers, in order to gain Meliisa's trust (not in order to breach it mind you, but just so I can get more of what's going on out of her).

Don't let the dumb comments get you down man! What you did was awesome, regardless of whether people agree with it or not. Don't let anyone tell you different.

I was having a discussion about this situation recently elsewhere, and I argued that it was possible for all of us to figure out this secret task by context alone.

It was almost like weephun gave us another puzzle, and we sort of dropped the ball. I am pretty sure there were some people saying they'd tried to warn the SP anyhow, but in context, it was fairly obvious what the general thrust of this twist was.

Ah well. Water under the bridge. Smile

Gotta go "old school" to get the Wink in the subject line Cool
You're very welcome for any help I provided in giving you your "day of glory", I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe you'll even get your own T-shirt out of the deal Cool

Um, I am familiar with "old school" emoticons. I wrote it that way for emphasis.
Anyway,
I already have the curious_girl t-shirt from cafepress. A t-shirt like yours (only with a different message on both the front AND the back) would be cool. So, really, a t-shirt not like yours at all, other than the t-shirty aspect of it. : )

At this point in time I am still unsure if the SP is an enemy or a good guy, this goes for durga too. So I don't place any blame on Weephun, or hmrpita both played the game and played it well.

I have a personal opinion about what the hell is going on and it's kinda screwball but it takes a sort of interesting perspective on Durga/Melissa/SP

Did I try to free the SP YES would I have told on hmrpita YES so I have no side I am what you call switzerland, and I am just not sure what to think of the Pious Flea who knows maybe he's the good one in all this?

On another note I have several ideas that I wanted to share with the rest of the crew maybe it shouldn't go here but I think it needs to be said, hell their prettey obvious (if you have read all the books)

btw here come some spoilers so watch out

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
in halo first strike cortana has a run in with a covenant AI(which I think is an OLD human AI that has been copied a freaking TON) so Cortana destroys this AI but when she destroys the AI she recovers an AI Copying file however it causes errors in the new copied AI. Later on in the book she copies a portion of herself to send with the MC the copies don't have all of her abilities just "some of them" well the MC invades a covenant ship with this copied cortana and then uses the copied cortana to self destruct the ship, well before the MC escapes Cortana begins copying herself OVER and OVER each time making each copy a little more insane(due to the errors) I think she does this to combat a covenant AI that copies itself to combat a more powerful AI and the two keep copying and fighting eachother until there are only error signals aka Insane.


This also ontains spoilers but I don't reveal too much of the plot(I think)

So heres my thought perhaps Melissa Durga and SP are one and the same Durga being the original Melissa being one of the first copies of Durga and SP being a copy of a copy of Durga. This would explain the degradation to insanity of the AI, Durga is not insane, Melissa is partially insane and SP appears VERY Insane. Now in my recollection of what happened with cortana on the covenant ship it might not have been a covenant AI combating Cortana it might have been herself(in this case the SP), where one of her copies decided that the other copy was a fake or it could have just been insane and not recognized that the other AI on the system was a copy of themselves(there were two copies of cortana on the same system at the same time in this case). Now the copying utility could be the flea, in the story the copy utility was found throughout the code of the AI like it might be "attached"(this is just a thought) so this would explain every charachters purpose in this crazy ass story and it explains the "mistake" durga makes in the future her mistake is "copying" herself. Now we get a little bit more into why this makes sense in the story about the SP she doesn't want to look at herself, hmm the same goes for Durga and Melissa hmm coincidence now in the SP's story she looks at herself and all she sees are random machine parts this looking at oneself could mean to an AI looking at ones own code. Well in this case she would see her own code and MAN she would see a LOT of errors due to the multiple copying process and in turn she would not see herself. Instead she would see the different machine parts.

Am I crazy or does this all simply make too much sense?( i like this "theory" so much I think ill repost it in someplace more appropriate)

When did SP appear, was it before or after PF killed the SPDR?

I haven't heard much about the phone calls Melissa made to the crews home (cell phone)... if you have received one then share plz!

ppl, I've got no dough and no job and I'm dieing for an ilovebees T-shirt or something, something that says "I was involved with one of the coolest games ever!". If you are a generous person and would like to help a fellow Beekeeper/Halo Fan get a really cool ilovebees T-shit than plz PM me, thank you. Very Happy You rock.

IIRC, all of the personal calls were recordings.

What did the recording say?

I don't have any "mula" and I can't get a job and I'm dieing for an ilovebees T-shirt or something, something that says "I was involved with one of the coolest games ever!".

I got a 'regular' axon call, just in the comfort of my own home, on my cell.

She asked for her favorite song, she told me I was correct, and then played the sound clip, with the usual "continue or repeat?" option at the end.

Yeah. we just heard whatever clip our axon group was part of. I had my whole call posted here when Top_hat had not gone hot, but I took it down to save space.
