I did say in the article that it was presumably the final round. I wrote it on Saturday when it was widely believed that Sunday's would be the last axon broadcast (although certainly not the end of the entire affair). And we don't know what Thursday's broadcast is going to be like -- I personally kind of doubt it'll be another axon broadcast, because where would the coordinates go? There's no recipe9. It seems to me that the pages were planned initially so that recipe8 (the last one) would be for the last set of coordinates. Thursday's broadcast might be something entirely different from anything we've seen before.
What do you call having the "victim" not doing jack about all the supposed blog/site "hacking" attempts?
First (speaking in-game, of course), Dana's blog wasn't hacked, only the ilovebees.com website. If you read Dana's blog, you'll see that she attempted to restore the website, but was unable to do so. Her attempts to fix the site caused harm to Melissa, though, and led to Melissa labeling Dana as an attempted killer. Dana stopped trying to fix the site in order to avoid antagonizing Melissa further.
What do you call having a fake and "unrelated" web in the official trailer, the fake page getting "hacked" after being mentioned, and sending a lot of nonsensical gibberish?
It was in the trailer because you have to let people know about the site somehow. And of course it's a "fake page" because it's a game -- it's no less fake than any other game out there.
And it's only nonsensical gibberish if you don't attempt to understand it.
What do you call lots of people traveling several miles to GPS coordinates of a pay phone just to hear some pre-recorded messages?
First, many people traveled HUNDREDS of miles. In fact, I think a few Europeans few to London in order to visit Europe's first axon.
Second, nobody drove anywhere "just to hear some pre-recorded messages". Many of the calls were live, and these were critical introductions of interactive elements that were neccessary to advance the plot.
Also, it was fun. Fun is fun regardless of the purpose of it or the reason for it.
Melissa (who is now merged with the Sleeping Princess) says the following on the 404 page:
The first few hundred friends to sign up will be guaranteed admission under these conditions. I hope you will come, even if you have to come late, but I can't guarantee you will get in. I have a sneaking suspicion that when word gets out, there will be a whole lot of people who want to come that don't know a thing about bees...
I answered an axon in the first group (11:00PST). Melissa wasn't on the line as normal, and I wasn't asked a question like normal. Instead, I immediately got the sound clip for that axon group. Looks like they're doing things a bit different today. Sound clips are available on recipe8 once enough people have answered phones and heard them, but you should still go to your local axons and answer in order to make sure the clips get unlocked, and also because things may change later in the day. We don't know if there will be live calls today or not, but it's certainly a possibility.
1. The Supreme Court ruled that non-photographic "child pornography" (i.e. "these amazing things called paper, ink, paint, etc") is not child pornography at all. So, you fail it.
2. Using phrases like "the existance of Christ" makes you look like an idiot because not only do you fail to spell "existence" right, you also admit that you believe in fictional fairy-tale characters. How can there be a time "before Christ" when Christ never existed? That's twice you fail it in that phrase alone, bringing your total failures to three.
3. Do you have any evidence for your assertion that childhood sexuality was stigmatized in the past? The concept of childhood sexuality being bad is a fairly recent invention (not counting puritanical philosophies where pretty much all sexuality is bad). So, for the fourth time today you fail it.
