- What was the correct original inferring sequence leading to the solution of the dreaded and infamous Prepositions Puzzle?
PMs answered this in SF. They believed that they had a complete list of prepositions (or at least a complete list of positional prepositions). It was 4am, and they apologize. (They said that Bill Redman wanted to send his personal apology.)

- Two questions in one. Is there going to be any official ILoveBees merchandise? Are the player-made Cafepress shops supported or discouraged?
As someone else already pointed out, the PMs are wearing our Cafepress merchandise (just as they did with the Evan Chan Cafepress merchandise during The Beast). They think it's awesome.

The PMs (especially Jane) were watching us at all times; it was her job to read everything on IRC and the forums. Typically they'd discover problems when we complained about them there... in the case of a_part, they noticed us noticing it on IRC.

The pms also repeatedly said: "It was 3:30 am. They also said they intended to explicitly tell us to look for the missing preposition in the clues, but it was 3:30 am.

Ah, yes, but we knew to do that... the problem is that it wouldn't have worked, because there were dozens (arguably hundreds) more missing prepositions, and at least half a dozen missing positional prepositions. So telling us to "look for the missing one" wouldn't have done us any good.

Can't be there myself, so this is what I'm wondering:
- Do you feel that the publicity brought to 42 Entertainment will detract from future ARGs created by the company? During the ILB ARG, the PMs insisted on anonymity; will this newfound lack of anonymity interfere with what you're doing?
- What does the future hold for 42 Entertainment? I'm sure you don't want to name names, but could you tell us if you have any pending clients at the moment?

2 questions.
1. What was the inhouse name of I Love Bees? We knew of the name The beast after the curtain went aside the first time round. Was this one called Beast2 or I Love Bees, or what?
2. Some of the sound clips had referecnes in terms of the game happenings, such as the payophone not working, no gps. Was that line recorded after the payphone problems were found, or was it planned that way for some payphones to be deliberately out of order?

I won't make it, but I'd like to know:
Was it a conscious decision to ease back from the torrent of unpredictability that was the Beast? By only making one webpage, the blog, one email address and the audio, it seems that the PMs built their game 'vertically' as opposed to the 'horizontal' organization of the Beast (many many websites and characters).
And another:
Were you given access to the Halo Bible? If so, how much of ILB was Bungie's initial creation and how much of it was yours?

NOT A QUESTION for the PM's:
When all this is said and done, will someone be sure to post an entire log here somewhere? I know it's redundant, but I'm pretty sure I won't be anywhere near a computer till late tomorrow night. I want to see the questions/answers, but I definitely won't be able to attend the IRC event.
I'll be taking a log, and will post the address when the chat's over.

One question to the PMs (and I know many have asked this before me, but not specifically in this thread):
What is Harmony?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] PM Post-Game Chat Nov 7th
I can't think of anything to ask.
Actually, I can think of hundreds of things to ask. I just can't narrow it down to one.
Be sure to congratulate Jim Stewartson on his new son -- say, maybe my question should be "What did you name him?" -- and tell him we're sorry that he had to leave the San Francisco session so quickly.
Ah, the heck with it. Just tell them we love them all. And that they should keep in touch (to the extent that their NDAs permit them to do so ).

What's the website for the chat again? The link on the 1st page doesn't work.

Yeah, Chat-solutions.org seems to have taken a hit.
