[UPDATE] New blog 10/5

New blog entry is up.

Looks like Dana is ticked off. Evil or Very Mad

Mostly with Adam.

For some reason, I don't think that is Dana. Mainly because she says "Hi. This is Dana." We know Melissa has control of Dana's main communications, so this must be Melissa.

I doubt that. I think this is just Dana's way of saying, hey, trying to turn a living person over to a psychotic and vengeful AI is a pretty bad thing to do. Sad

Yea... she is mad... only way to take that...

Her saying "Hi, this is Dana" is just her way of saying "HA HA! Its me DANA!! And guess what! I'm still alive!"

Well, personally I think this is a very important message.

People have become so wrapped up in trying to 'win' this game that they are willing to put Dana in harm's way. I think we need to step back and think about that for a little while.

If it is Dana, she's not very bright, is she?

Well, I've been around for a very, very long time, and I'm kicking myself for not speaking out and getting more involved earlier, I'm really, really sorry for that.

But honestly? I'm sure getting Dana killed is the last thing we would ever want, and from my perspective it seems like a lot of people are waaaaaaaaay to willing to give in to Melissa and give her info for the sake of "Moving on with the plot". or "Doing what the PM's will eventualy force us to do". I think we have a bigger choice in the matter than we think.

This might be a bit far fetched, but has anyone ever really thought "Hey, what if we ALL refuse to give Melissa anymore information about Dana". Personaly, I'm thinking more on the lines of forcing Melissa to listen to us... I mean, if we put her into a situation where her whole entire crew was about to commit mutiny, wouldnt that send a powerful message? Maybe enough of a message for her to think this over?

Then again, I'm not in control of anyones actions Smile

Dana's the one who just probably supplied her exact location to Melissa by logging in to her blog.

That's entirely [META]. This game is being played by the players, not by Dana.

We want to find out what this story holds. Melissa holds the key, so we do what she says. We do what she says because by keeping her happy, she'll tell more of the story to us and uncover the truth behind what's going on. The choice is up to us, it would seem. That is, if there is a choice, and this isn't just Dana's way of implying that we're taking the wrong track, much as hacking her voicemail was the wrong track.

Assuming that it is the former and not the latter, to me it looks like we're being presented with a dilemma. The question is, do we keep Dana's safety as our highest priority or do we throw her to the wolves to get more answers from Melissa? Is revealing the truth that important?

I dont think Melissa has acess to the blog, The blog comes from a legitimate Blogger, and I dont think Melissa has a hold over that at all. It dosent add up if you think from a technical standpoint

I see what you guys are saying. At first glance it looked like she was saying that she wants to be hunted like a dog, and was welcoming people to report her position to Melissa and to give Adam a hug for helping. I guess I just don't pick up on sarcasm that quickly. But it does look like she could either be hinting at us not to turn her in, but she also tells us that if we wanted to give her position away it should be done either by e-mailing her gmail account or leaving her a voicemail. So I could see this either way, but I really want Dana to stay safe.

Hi!

I'm a first time poster - and just to say how jealous I am of everyone that is in the states taking part in this! I wish there were more in the UK!

Anyway, my thoughts on this new blog. I think it is Melissa! How the hell did Dana get hold of the Telephone conversation between Melissa and Adam to post on the blog??

I thought she was hiding!!?? Is she taping into Melissa's calls??? I personally think this is a thank you from Melissa to Adam for giving up the info on Dana, and that Dana is in massive danger!

Anyone's thoughts? I could be completly wrong!

Pretty sure that it's a finalization on everyone's spec as to how to get in touch with Melissa. Obviously now we can leave voice messages for Melissa whenever we feel like.

(Perhaps with the right touch we could leave something for the Flea or the Princess?)

The Adam.wav on the blog is the same one that's on the 404 page.

[SPEC] maybe this is a clue from the PMs for us. Maybe they are trying to tell us that we find a way to tell Melissa WITHOUT Dana knowing... that sounds like a good puzzle to me... what do you think guys?
