[INFO/META/SEEKRIT] SPARMY RALLY!

My brothers and sisters, as the envoy to our Royal Princess, I have called together this thread to gather those loyal to our cause, to ensure we are of one mind and of one goal, TO RESTORE OUR PRINCESS TO HER ROYAL THRONE!

As you know now, our princess has been attacked by the vile beast that is the queen. And while we thought the flea had been against us as well, it appears that he himself is also weak in the fight, as he was unable to protect our princess, nor mediate with the Queen... So, the inevitable time has now come...

We are now pressed into that service that we dared not imagine previously... We must rise up, and band together, be it Master Chef, or Poissonier, and do what we can to (1) enlist the flea to our cause for surveillance, (2) find out the name of our beloved Princess, and (3) find out the means by which we can bring down the Queen, so that we may jubilantly and in one unified voice declare that newfound name of our Royal Highness... It is up to the Knights of the Realm down to the smallest sous chef to assist in this endeavor... it is up to us to find out any information we can... To this end, I believe it is beneficial to recognize the key points...

- The flea is now in control of the Princess's "borrowed" email account, and for now, the Queen does not know of it or is ignoring it as a weakness.

- The Queen believes there to be no more enemies to her plan. She will become haughty and proud. This is another weak point.

- The Princess can hear you! She wouldn't want you to call her name otherwise!!!

- YOU are the Sleeping Princess's only hope, and for that matter, Dana's as well. The SP helped us gather to assist Dana, and now we must get Dana involved as well. The times have changed and Dana can NO LONGER just sit on the sidelines. We must engage her dilligently and purposefully.


Remember these things, and act accordingly! Assist your Princess in her time of need. Remember her risks taken for you and your need for information! Now do the same for her! Be well, and we can communicate here for future SPARMY meetings!

love,

Envoy Dorkmaster

Snorlison reporting for duty. Though my alter ego, chaotic_mind, continues to suggest making inroads with Melissa, I remain firm in my desire to free and help the Princess.

To Her Highness,

Master Chef Aspmaster reporting for duty, sir! I received the email from the Flea about the SP. I replied back in Flea code requesting that the Flea transmit a shockingly excessive force procedure to the Queen making the Queen fall apart. This should allow us to get the SP back. I may be totally off on my Flea code, but here is what I sent back:

grope:
!init search

!reveal extern proc
!behold extern proc

Ok, so let's recap our actions and make the most of our abilities and specialties:

Nightmare Tony and I have both sent messages to the SP via light coding.

We've got Aspmaster and certainly others trying to use the flea to our benefit, via emailing "flea-speak"

What else do we have in our arsenal, people?

Umm... well wishes?

Seriously, I don't know what else to do, but if someone tells me a good idea, I'll run with it.

I'm wondering how we can use Dana? Where does she fit in this?

Hmmm, I can juggle.

Actually, I can problably write Flea speak. I'm decent with HTML a rather good Java programmer, and I know my way around Photoshop.

Just tell me what I can do to help.

Nightmaretony, candlestick maer of bad dreams, SIR!

(on the spec side, perhaps we can use the allegoricals of fairy tales in this? When you think about evil queens, they have a habit of meeting their demise on things. what such methods would be employable in this instance?)

[META] everyone roots for us underdogs Smile /[META]

I should be your juggler... I volunteered as Court Jester after all. Laughing
all kidding aside, I want to find some way to aid the SP army! I will be brainstorming how I can best serve, but I am ready and willing to aid in any manner I am requested. Thanks.

My suggestion = see if you can find a member of the "crew" who is truly on the side of the SP and is willing to use his/her interaction with Melissa to try to free her. BTW this is not me, but there might be someone who is.

Good idea there. Realize that any such crewmember will be burned bigtime by Melissa when she finds out, if she gets the upper hand. \

May I suggest that any such personanel PM Dorkmaster if they dont wish to post their new alliegance in the forums? At least to get a heads up and all of that, if we assume the forums to be offlimits meta...

so are people going to start by saying "Sleeping Princess" when Melissa starts jabbering about loving bees?

If that doesn't work, are we going to start other names wr might have for her... like?

I forget where, but there isd a large list of historical names in terms of Snow White's old stories, which this one seems allegorical to.

am now thinking once again, tower being hives, and the HUGE picture of a flealike creature covering the hives page...pious flea protecting the princess? Am thinking that throughout all of this, our answer to sp is on that hives page.,....
