 		[UPDATES] Live call-in tracking from all events (renamed)
Ok, trout me if the event is being actively covered live in another thread... sorry for the cross posting, just going to post my current knowledge from Rose as she calls in from NY here and edit as more comes in...

----

The DVD according to Rose, from what she can remember, has at least the following contents:

1. Acknowledgement to the players (no one individually, just a general greeting, thanks, acknowledgement, etc - they say it's pretty sweet though)
2. All the chapter audio, including Chapter 13 - the final chapter
3. All the pictures from the field exercises
4. Three versions of the Widow's Journey Exclamation (or version three?)
- Widow's Journey - Version Three:
- "the widow's journey"
- "version three - elan gets meticulous"
- "The code becomes less eliptical..."
5. Behind the scenes, how the story was written, etc
6. Credits

there may be more, but that's what Rose could remember...

I think it's enough now to say - DO NOT RIP THE DVD FOR DISTRIBUTION - there is far more than just the freely downloadble audio files.

----

and, I'm currently listening to what Rose is hearing in the theatre - typing one-handed Razz

they replayed the end of chapter 12, with a number off additional dialogue... significantly - Melissa quoted a mathemetical formula
x^2 / a^2 + y^2 / b^2 = 1
but we didn't make note of it when it came on, so it might be wrong - if anyone has the right formula, or can confirm, please post... not sure what it'll be used for, but the attendants were told to remember it pretty much.
...sweet Smile

----

this is not from Rose...
see the thread in puzzles started here
Passphrases are being handed out in each city.
Chicago: Nary Wanderer - Puck
San Francisco: The Game Is - Up
Austin: Suture - Sew
New York: (could be) x^2 / a^2 + y^2 / b^2 = 1 - Ellipse.
first letter of each cities' codes = NWTGISE (anagram) = WE STING Question
SPEC: Up/Puck/Ellipse/Sew = apocalypso.html and thanks.wav

----

other threads discussing updates:
(puzzle) Training Event Passphrases
Pictures from the Austin Event (TheDoctor's photo of the DVD)
Those of you coming back from the training event, report in!

---

from puzzle thread:
UPDATE: There has been a confirmation by a PM named Shawn at the SF event - if we find the answers to these phrases they will unlock wav files on the server that will tell us more about the flea and Herzog

UPDATE 2: There has been confirmation by a PM at the NY event - interestingly enough also named Shawn (WTFOMG?!?!?!) - the only clue that he would give was (I paraphrase as close to the quote as I can) "Listen to the audio on the DVD, pay attention to the details, think about the puzzle..." followed by about 15x "I'm not telling you anything more"

It's been a while since trig and stuff - but isnt that the equation for an ellipse?

 		x2 / a2 + y2 / b2 = 1 is the horizontal vertex equation of an Ellipse when dealing with conics... (:

 		already got it linked... it may have played when the formula was heard, but it was hard to hear everything that was being said... next time she calls she may know.

MS is known to be pretty hard about cellphones and transmission stuff during conferences and such

They might have told her to turn it off or leave :\

 		What is in "Chapter 13"? According to Humptydumpty.html, we had 11 weeks of axons + this week to make 12, so there must be some new stuff on the disc. What is it?

-A-

 		The only new item on the disc is a farewell from Melissa.

The "equation" may have something to do with the creation of the game, or more specifically, the evolution of the coding that appeared on ilovebees.com.

From the DVD - Widow's Journey - Version Three:

"the widow's journey"
"version three - elan gets meticulous"
"The code becomes less eliptical..."

 		Less eliptical? Would that mean, perhaps, more circular? Kinda like a certain planet-sized artifact certain personages of extraterrestrial origin wish to obtain?

-- Steve's throwing in another two cents. What the hey, he's already chucked a copper-mine's worth into this game so what's a couple more?
