Okay, I signed up.

So, how can we figure this challenge out?

Can someone explain how the answer to the last challenge makes any sense?


It says "No that's superficial." That seems to be the best clue...

Ok, I finally got the second one. I searched google a bit for this one. Searching for "superficial" leads to www.thesuperficial.com. If you search for "up for anything" in the search there, it brings up several results. "marches to the beat of 11 drummers" = March 11. The March 11 post was about Angelina Jolie.

So has anyone gotten any images from the site of the new controller or anything? Too bad there isn't a big overarching storyline with files to listen to like ilovebees.

First of all, to figure out that challenge is fucking awesome, because that was really difficult. Have you played these games before? I would have never even thought of trying to do what you did.

Second of all, are we wasting our time? Our colony doesn't have many members (relatively), and this game seems to heavily reward simple numbers.

I just kept breaking it down and googling it. I watched the ilovebees event play out, but I really didn't get involved with it.

I'm not sure that we are wasting our time. I don't remember where I read it, but I remember seeing that points weren't what was going to win the game. If I can remember where I read it I'll post a link here.

Looks like we will need mass numbers to get this thing going, pass our group number on to whomever you can as this looks at least partially to be a game of numbers, rewarding for the amount of buzz you can create

I've tried everything that I can think of. I tried "power" at first thinking about the power button that I saw in the strange orb on the opening page. I've done some searches for "circle" and "circle banner", but it didn't seem to tell anything. I'll do some more searching in the morning when I get to work.

Apparently somebody got it. There's a new one up now:

Here sweet margie sits. At this distance it sees the rich, the poor and everything in between.
