This .wav hit me as hard as when Jan's father was killed.

If this is old then I apologies, I did multiple searches and didn't find anything on it so here I go. On the contact me page when the home button and fun stuff button goes screwy and the bee is turquoise and purple the two buttons say "in" them

Fun Stuff button:

this is what I look like when it's my turn: >

this is what I do when it's your turn: |-O

this is what I do when its GAME OVER: ^5


Home button:

twiztedmatt, yep those are the puzzles the SP has been leaving us of a Friday

Head on over to the puzzles forum and you'll see the process by which we solved them last Friday and got more Rani .wav clips.

On topic, this has just about killed it off for me. Being on the other side of the atlantic, I couldn't partake in the axon enhottenating. I'm more into the Sc-Fi and story aspects of this than any Halo thing, and the puzzles even though I got to them late were the one bit I could do something to partake in. With the SP gone, I find myself not really caring what happens next, I'll probably read the conclusion of the story on some gaming site after Halo 2 is no longer new and exciting, but the story I was interested and the game I was playing here and now has been killed off, so I'm off to play GTA San Andreas until Project Syzygy starts

Not moaning or anything! it's been fun, and I've been amazed to read and partake a little in a game with so many awesome, intelligent people and puzzle solvers. You guys rock

Remember. It's all a game. Dana and Aunt Margaret are no more real than SP, the Flea or Melissa is. Who had the most impact on you? The character that did for me is gone *shrugs*. I still say we should have got to Aunt Margaret first and neutralised the threat to the SP.

Nothing good can come from the Sleeping Princess's supposed destruction. We have no way to see what's happening in the ilovebees server. Durga will shortly cease to exist without Yasmine's mind as a template. Melissa will shortly cease to exist because Melissa is Durga. Without Durga, the Artifact timer probobly won't be stopped. Without the timer being stopped, whatever it's been made to do will happen, and it probobly isn't a good thing.

This worries me... a lot...

Not posted here in ages, but here's what I said on the Penny Arcade forums to those unable to figure out that the Sleeping Princess was the one 'good' character we could still rely on:.

Listen to the wavs.

You know that 'little voice'? The one that used to lead Durga to look after Kamal? That was her memories from her past life. That was Yasmine. That was the little, lonely girl. The one in dreams running through a castle sending messages to people. The one that did the sleep-spying. The one that you can actually hear when she starts to think of her past life.

You know how the Sleeping Princess was destroyed? Lured to the killzone by promises of seeing her brother again. Promises of seeing Kamal again. Didn't that register with anyone else? That one line telling us just who the little girl with the memories of being turned into a machine was. *That's* how we know she was 'good', and how The Queen (the one who wanted to track down kill Dana, no matter whether she was innocent or not, and failing that went and threatened to hurt her family if she didn't comply - that sounds pretty damn evil to me) 'bad'.

It was Yasmine that players just nuked - the conscience and humanity of Melissa. Now all we have is a rampant AI that is willing to kill, harm or maim anyone in her path to reach her goal.... And what is her goal? We don't know - although the Pious Flea seems to have some kind of influence currently.

The players so far have walked into every trap.

"Dana is the Killer. What should I do with her?"
"We think killing her is a very good idea!"

... Duh... Rolling Eyes

Why do I get the feeling that I'm among a very small minority who understand this story at all? I keep having to explain things to people, as my growing IM contact list will attest to.

I think we might just have 'lost'. Damn those crew members who do everything that Melissa orders, just because they can.

[Trynian]

In their defense, I don't think the players had any idea that what they were doing would lead to the Princess being destroyed. Granted, it might not have made a difference, and granted, some of them are pretty pleased at the notion, but you've got to keep that in mind.

I think the PMs missed an SP reference...

unless her words aren't intended to be live, but something she 'placed' on the page... so they'll appear regardless of whether she's there or not. In which case, it's a Melissa goof that she missed scouring the entire website for any reference to SP to erase.

[Max Damage]

'We didn't know' isn't much of an excuse. Any player who has been paying attention should know by know that Melissas first solution to any problem is 'Kill it'.

Hearing the guy laughing as the girl dies... That's just f'ing creepy. Has Melissa hand-picked the most sociopathic players possible to fill out her crew?

Even in a game (and yes, I do realise this is a game - exactly why I find myself annoyed at the stupid players who haven't a clue what they're doing anymore), the sound of a young girl in pain should never be greeted by laughter. It's naturally, psychologically unsettling for anyone balanced enough.
