Speculation
From ILB
This page is intended to contain links to speculation, on-Wiki and off-Wiki, that is highly rated by the editorial team or written by the editorial team.
Note that if you are really hungry for speculation, you should stop off at the Unfiction Haunted Apiary General forum (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=78), which is full of speculation of various levels of quality.
Unresolved Speculation
- September 2 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=67748#67748): xnbomb (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=868)'s speculation that Melissa, already infected with The Pious Flea, deliberately sent part of herself, Durga, back to Earth in her own time, and that the Artifact somehow affected time so that The Queen also ended up on ILB (with the Flea along for the ride).
- September 2 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6254#6254): Anton P. Nym's speculation that Kamal has been trapped in a "honey pot" by Aiden
- September 11 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6412): SpghEddy (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1590)'s analysis of chronology working from the Jericho VII reference in the alt_burgundy.wav (http://transmit.ilovebees.com/outbound/alt_burgundy.wav).
- September 17 Proposed timeline by Rose.
- September 17 Spec: Meaning of Perdita's Story by Clamatius
- September 23 Proposed plot timeline comparisons (by event) by thebruce.
- October 17 SPEC on the meaning of the Truth by Rose. Added my contrary views that the Artifact is the Truth and that James James murder was a result of his having been with McKaskill: the only surviving person we know of that has knowledge of the Artifact.
Resolved Speculation
- August 28 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=64818#64818): Shadow's speculation that The Widow's Journey story was written by The Sleeping Princess
-- Correct.
- September 9 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6344): GunsmithCat's speculation that Jason Morelli was the Castaway and the Cranky Old Man and that suggests his interest in Cpl. Janet is extramarital. Formed into a speculative timeline.
-- Jason Morelli was the Castaway, but not the Cranky Old Man.
- September 23 Spec that the future timeline is real-time (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75679#75679) by SuperMega
-- Seems to be correct - the timelines were running in parallel.
- September 24 Extrasonic's spec (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=76249#76249) that the Sleeping Princess is not imprisoned by Melissa but is hiding
-- We now know that the Princess was actually imprisoned, but that she was freed on September 28, as revealed in contactme.html. -- Shadow 18:43, 1 Oct 2004 (EDT)
- September 30 SPEC: (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=79791#79791) Shadow's speculation that the visitor on the Apocalypso was Herzog and that he planted the Flea.
-- Partially incorrect. The Pious Flea was actually a Covenant AI.
- October 1 SPEC (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=79962&highlight=black+taxi&sid=51c9aaf1b9e79b499b61ed9d7f9ce52a#79962) that James James works for Herzog by Anton P. Nym.
-- No evidence of this at the end of the game.
- October 4 SPEC on the meaning of the Truth so often referred to by the Pious Flea and Melissa by Clamatius.
-- Incorrect. The Truth was actually simply the location of the Artifact.
- October 14 AI, Reflection, and Cupid's Knife (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7212&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=6dbe23258dc50ee6f52b68fe2a3a8b98) by BeeNetter, an excellent analysis of what may cause reflection shown by Durga, the Queen, and the Princess.
-- Appears to be correct. Yasmine was indeed the Sleeping Princess and it seems Durga was unaware of it due to reasons close to BeeNetter's spec.
