lol, Frakkfire. Its like you can read me like a book.

Ok, odd though that crossed thru my mind on my way home from skool:
Why would the bunnies target Mare (as we all seem to agree that she is indeed one target if not the sole target)? Yes, a Mare a evil, we all know that. But Our Mare (not the blond one or Knacks’ Mare XD) seems pretty happy w/ her lot in her life. She has a family, and she has voluntarily and insistingly (new word) gone off to SAVE x-mas on numerous occasions. If anything, the bunnies are against Mare because she is a symbol of their hate: Christmas.
Point. But, the Bunnies seem to take issue more with the commercialization of said holiday than the holiday itself. As was mented before, you cannot have Easter w/o Christmas (no death w/o life). But Mare and Knacks especially do seem to understand the “true” meanings of Christmas, which are wholly NOT commercialized (family, friends, forgiveness (Mare II). Mare is the core of bad happeneings at X-mas, but no longer because she is bad; the bad things happen around her because she just happens to be related to the various problems (Claire, Waiterbot, etc).
Mare does not want to ruin Christmas, she just wants to enjoy it with Kuse and Box and their weird extended family (not to say that any Christmas w/ Mare is going to be calm by any stretch of the imagination; she is used to the hectic chaos, as she has mentioned).
Are the bunnies targeting Mare wrongly, is what I’m trying to ask. We think so because we’re fond of Mare, but let’s think more objectively. By eliminating Mare, what will be accomplished? IF they are brainwashing 2006 Santa to take over and further their cause of replacing Christmas or restoring its (and Easter’s) true meanings, why kill off Mare, or any of our heroes?

…..I don’t know, the thought just struck me. If I made no sense, I apologize. If you think I did, tell me more succinctly. XD Thanks for letting me vent that weird theory.

Oh, sorry for the double post, but I know exactly what the clicks are in the bunny videos. Its the sounds the interior mic picks up when you push buttons on the camera. I have a camera what will not zoom when its recording, and when I conveniently forget that fact, the resulting pushing of the zoom button makes those clicks. The clicks come from pushing or tapping or making any sort of contact noise while the camera is recording. At least, that’s what I assume. I’ll go check out some of Matt’s other recorded stuff (didn’t he record the Snoopy pumpkin patch?).

Very insightful, and I can only come up with one potential answer: because they’re crazy. =P Most bad guys are, to some degree. (Of course, saying that our heroes aren’t a little kooky would be a stretch…)

Guise, what did u use to download the vid off Youtube? I don’t think I have a program that does that (also I’d like to put it on my iPod so I can watch it on the go sans internet and computer).

Dio,

The latest Real Player has a built in video capture option. And best of all??? Free.

Thank you so much! I need some good reference shots of our bunnie friends.

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Lex @ 12/04/2007 11:19 PM


I have a feeling that the rabbits aren’t targeting Mare at all. Maybe they’re trying to prevent something from happening to them.

I’ve been thinking about something different with this. Why did they choose box 23 to communicate with? After researching a bit I noticed that Western Easter is on March 23rd next year. A connection?

….Where have you been this whole time!? =P

Chestnuts roasted by Ben @ 12/05/2007 12:45 AM


I’ve been following along:) I’m using the Wii to go online, so I can’t view most of the clues and typing is a pain.

I examined the source of “batrib” and found these:

http://www.solarviews.com/eng/amalthea.htm

Have these been found yet? What do the addresses mean?

Oops, one more that creeped me out:

Chestnuts roasted by NotThatGuy @ 12/05/2007 1:00 AM


Sorry, I guess these were found already.

Chestnuts roasted by NotThatGuy @ 12/05/2007 1:03 AM


Yes, these have been found. A comprehensive database can be found in the first comment of this thread.

Chestnuts roasted by Ben @ 12/05/2007 1:03 AM


Haha, sorry, didn’t see your last one. I don’t want to come off as sarcastic or harsh. Anywho, you can use Guise’s guide to get all caught up and join the Advent-urers in their quest to solve the mystery of Box #23!

Chestnuts roasted by Ben @ 12/05/2007 1:06 AM


So why is it that when I have time to be looking at this site, it’s always the slow times? Ah well, the questing shall hopefully continue soon.

Onward and upwards valiant Advent-urers!

(Thought I’d continue Ben’s appropriate knighting-up of the Advent-ure)

That song in the video is also on the Halloween Jukebox. It’s called “Castle Dracula”. It’s track #20 if you dare to listen.

I know, DP, but I couldn’t resist:

We are the Knights, and Matt is the dude with the horns. “Run away!!!”

Chestnuts roasted by DrummerJay @ 12/05/2007 2:29 AM


Sami: Maybe you’re right. That makes more sense to me.

Anyone in the Bay Area find the Knight Advent Calendar? I want it more than a diploma. XD

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Lex @ 12/05/2007 2:30 AM


I may be just a weirdo, but what the hell is an advent calendar?

Chestnuts roasted by The Good Guy @ 12/05/2007 2:36 AM


DrummerJay, I watched this on Sunday with exactly that in my mind! But who will be Sir Bors? As far as I know, none of us have been decapitated. =P

The Good Guy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_calendar . When you’re done with that, check out the older calendars to orient yourself with the whole story.

Chestnuts roasted by Ben @ 12/05/2007 2:42 AM


Ben: That explains so much. Not really big on that kinda thing. A holiday is a holiday unless you have a different reason to celebrate than another.

Chestnuts roasted by The Good Guy @ 12/05/2007 2:47 AM


Dio, because I was impatient, the first shots were screen prints from YouTube. For downloading and converting you need to do the following:
1) Visit YouTube to find the video
2) visit a site like http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com
3) Find a FLV to AVI Converter (there are a few free ones, I paid about $15 for mine for extra features)

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 12/05/2007 6:15 AM


Ok. It’s 8:50am EST and no day 5 on the calendar. WTF?! I NEED MY FIX!!!!!
