 		[Update] on Dana's Blog 10/31
fortunes
Here's something I learned on my trip to Asia: They don't have fortune cookies in China. That's an American thing.

Even so, all summer long, I kept wishing for a fortune cookie. I wanted to crack one open and pull out exactly the right cliché, the one small piece of wisdom that would put everything into perspective. I wanted to finish a meal and find the little slip of paper that would tell me, "Everything is going to work out for the best." "You are safe." "You will do the right thing."

Kinda silly to expect so much from a cookie, huh?

Last night, Aunt Margaret took me out to dinner. She wanted to see my trip pictures and hear all my stories. (I don't think she even realizes how much danger she was in these past few weeks, and by the way: she has completely given up on her hotmail account.) We went to Yank Sing so she could eat Dau Miu Gow and Chicken Fun Gwor while looking at photos of me stumbling along the Great Wall. Well, when we finished dinner, I finally got the fortune cookie I'd been wanting for months.

"A problem you solve for someone else is the very problem you must solve for yourself."

Can a fortune cookie be, like… retroactively right?

*

Today we helped Melissa go home again, but I don't think we quite know yet what that means for us. Even though Melissa is gone, I don't seem to have control over Aunt Margaret's site. There's still something living there, and it thinks it's going to broadcast something on Thursday 11/4.

For my part, I'm going to do what I can by helping Melissa execute the training mission she arranged for her crew. I'll be handling all the remaining RSVPs for the events, so if you can make it to Austin, Chicago, New York City, or San Francisco this Thursday evening, be sure you email me with the city and your crew name.

*

I don't know what happens next, but I think we did the right thing. I think we sent a lost girl back home. I think we solved the right problem. And I think our fortunes will change as a result.

 		yeha, I really don't think endgame has yet arrived... the flea seeker is still around, and the site is still messed up. the latter may never be fixed, ingame there's no reason for it to suddenly revert to norm... but the seeker's still here... if only for the last transmission on thursday, something's still gotta happen...

say hi to Dana for me if she's at one of those events on Thursday Smile

 		Do you think there will be anything new in the meantime? i.e. Tuesday, despite the Election?

Let's keep the election BS out of this place, hm? Evil or Very Mad

It's not like there's a shortage of places on the internet to discuss your country's election.

 		It sucks to have to ask for this, but as this thread is obviously just doing to degenerate into political tomfoolery that doesn't belong here...

Locky! ?

 		Laughing [humor=political]Yeah? Well only Nazis would vote for an ex-president's son![/humor]

In all seriousness though, it seems that quite the nice point of closure has been made in Dana's most recent blog entry. Even so, i can't help but to expect a twist, even now. It would just seem incongruous if there wasn't one.

Perhaps the "training exercise" will have some further affect on the game? Having a fun event as a simple reward would be all well and good, but i'm sure They TM will have something else special up their sleeves.

I don't think the site is going to suddenly go back to normal... the AIs may leave, but the files are just going to stay the same until somebody actively changes them. Even while the AIs were in the site (assuming they've left), they left a lot of outdated files lying around... for instance, even though the SP is now reunited with Melissa, the intro to humptydumpty.html, and the info on hives.html are both out of date.

...yeah...that's what I said... not in so many words, but that's what I said. "there's no reason ingame for it to return to norm"

 		I dont think that we are going to be compleately done untill we hear Jan say "look a covie". Basicaly i would hope that they take us all the way up to the point when the Covenant attack. Besides there is way too much left unexplained to just leave it off right now. I expect another full set of audio on thursday and probably one more on the 9th. I just hope that we are going to be done with the phones. id rather unlock audio by puzzle.
