Unless Iām missing something, I do not see there being a rule against discussing communication between you and the moderator. I feel like there should be a rule against this, even with asking simple mechanical questions. The whole purpose of answering questions in your class card instead of the thread is to make it so people cannot angle shoot interactions between the host and the players, and this defeats the purpose.

We donāt have anything linking Forum Game Rules + Global Forum Rules in the same thread post that isnāt a game
Itās actually really hard to get to the forum game rules
)
It probably should be a rule
If it was already one, Iād have broken it more than any other host on the site
I think the reason why Iāve had problems with it are via instinct and that I get pissed off when players ask questions whose answers are explicitly in the OP (and also because im a fan of setup information being publicly available)
If that were to become a rule, I would also advocate for one mandating that players read the entire OP of all games they enter
no, that isnāt the real bee movie

Summary
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees donāt care what humans think is impossible.ā SEQ. 75 - āINTRO TO BARRYā INT. BENSON HOUSE - DAY ANGLE ON: Sneakers on the ground.

BARRY (CONTāD) Yeah, letās shake it up a little. He picks the black and yellow one. He then goes to the sink, takes the top off a CONTAINER OF HONEY, and puts some honey into his hair. He squirts some in his mouth and gargles. Then he takes the lid off the bottle, and rolls some on like deodorant. CUT TO: INT.

Bees with hand-shaped hats on, rotating around a wheel to catch drips of honey. Adamās hand shoots up. ADAM Can anyone work on the Krelman? TRUDY Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if itās done well, means a lot. There are over 3000 different bee occupations.

Thatās an insane choice to have to make. ADAM Well, Iām relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. BARRY But Adam, how could they never have told us that?

SCHOOL GIRLS are jumping up and down and squealing nearby. BARRY I wonder where those guys have just been? ADAM I donāt know. BARRY Their dayās not planned. Outside the hive, flying who-knows-where, doing who-knows-what. ADAM You canāt just decide one day to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. BARRY Right. Pollen Jocks cross in close proximity to Barry and Adam. Some pollen falls off, onto Barry and Adam. BARRY (CONTāD) Look at that. Thatās more pollen than you and I will ever see in a lifetime. ADAM (playing with the pollen) Itās just a status symbol. I think bees make too big a deal out of it. BARRY Perhaps, unless youāre wearing it, and the ladies see you wearing it. ANGLE ON: Two girl bees. āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 12. ADAM Those ladies? Arenāt they our cousins too? BARRY Distant, distant. ANGLE ON: TWO POLLEN JOCKS. JACKSON Look at these two.

BARRY I never thought Iād knock him out. GIRL 2 (to Adam) And what were you doing during all of this? ADAM Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities.

We see Barry having trouble maneuvering the ball from fatigue. KEN (overly confident) Match point! ANGLE ON: Ken running up. He has a killer look in his eyes. Heās going to hit the ultimate overhead smash. KEN (CONTāD) You can just start packing up Honey, because I believe youāre about to eat it! ANGLE ON: Pollen Jocks. JACKSON Ahem! Ken is distracted by the jock. KEN What? No! He misses badly. The ball rockets into oblivion. Barry is still hanging on. ANGLE ON: Ken, berating himself. KEN (CONTāD) Oh, you cannot be serious.

MOTHER Nobody move. If you donāt move, he wonāt sting you. Freeze! Everyone in the car freezes. Barry freezes. They stare at each other, eyes going back and forth, waiting to see who will make the first move. Barry blinks. GRANNY He blinked! Granny pulls out a can of HAIR SPRAY. SON Spray him, Granny!

You know Bees are trained to fly kind of haphazardly and as a result quite often we donāt make very good time. I actually once heard a pretty funny story about a bee-- MONTGOMERY Your Honor, havenāt these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this courtās valuable time? Montgomery rolls out from behind his table. Heās suspended in a LARGE BABY CHAIR with wheels. MONTGOMERY (CONTāD) How much longer are we going to allow these absurd shenanigans to go on?

This harmless little contraption? This couldnāt hurt a fly, let alone a bee. He unintentionally points it towards the bee gallery, KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT. The jury GASPS. The press SNAPS pictures of them. BARRY Members of the jury, look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, āSmoking or Non?ā Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to these smoke machines in man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? Barry gestures dramatically towards Montgomeryās racially mixed table. The BLACK LAWYER slowly moves his chair away. GAMMIL What are we going to do? āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 93.

We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, big-headed, bad breath, stink-machine. āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 95. I believe weāre all aware of what they do in the woods. We will no longer tolerate derogatory beenegative nick-names, unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products, and la-dee-da tea-time human snack garnishments.

ADAM Theyāre laying out, theyāre sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Carl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. BARRY At least we got our honey back. They walk through the empty factory. ADAM Yeah, but sometimes I think, so what if the humans liked our honey? Who wouldnāt? Itās the greatest thing in the world. I was excited to be a part of making it.

BARRY Specifically me. I guess I didnāt think that bees not needing to make honey would affect all these other things. VANESSA And itās not just flowers. Fruits, vegetablesā¦they all need bees. BARRY Well, thatās our whole SAT test right there. VANESSA So, you take away the produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of courseā¦ BARRY The human species? VANESSA (clearing throat) Ahem! BARRY Oh. So, if thereās no more pollination, it could all just go south here, couldnāt it? VANESSA And I know this is also partly my fault. Barry takes a long SIGH. BARRY How about a suicide pact? VANESSA (not sure if heās joking) How would we do it? BARRY Iāll sting you, you step on me. āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 103. VANESSA That just kills you twice.

Barry stands on the change box, in front of the driverās license. BARRY Okay, I made a huge mistake! This is a total disaster, and itās all my fault! VANESSA Yes, it kind of is. BARRY Iāve ruined the planet. And, I wanted to help with your flower shop. Instead, Iāve made it worse. VANESSA Actually, itās completely closed down. BARRY Oh, I thought maybe you were remodeling. Nonetheless, I have another idea. And itās greater than all my previous great ideas combined. VANESSA I donāt want to hear it. Vanessa closes the change box on Barry. BARRY (opening it again) Alright, hereās what Iām thinking. They have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant, and flower bud in this park.

Donāt freak out! Thereās a chance my entire species-- CO-PILOT (taking off his earphones) Ahhh! āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 112. The pilot grabs a āDUSTBUSTERā vacuum cleaner. He aims it around trying to vacuum up Barry. The co-pilot faces camera, as the pilot tries to suck Barry up. Barry is on the other side of the co-pilot. As they dosey-do, the toupee of the co-pilot begins to come up, still attached to the front. CO-PILOT (CONTāD) What are you doing? Stop! The toupee comes off the co-pilotās head, and sticks in the Dustbuster. Barry runs across the bald head. BARRY Wait a minute! Iām an attorney! CO-PILOT Whoās an attorney? PILOT Donāt move. The pilot uses the Dustbuster to try and mash Barry, who is hovering in front of the co-pilotās nose, and knocks out the co-pilot who falls out of his chair, hitting the life raft release button. The life raft inflates, hitting the pilot, knocking him into a wall and out cold. Barry surveys the situation. BARRY Oh, Barry. CUT TO: INT. AIRPLANE CABIN Vanessa studies her laptop, looking serious. SFX: PA CRACKLE. BARRY (V.O) (in captain voice) Good afternoon passengers, this is your captain speaking.

Barryās family and Adam watch from their living room. Bees sitting on the street curb turn around to watch the TV. BARRY Mr. Ditchwater, the way we work may be a mystery to you, because making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you something about a small job. If you do it really well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized. To us, to everyone. Thatās why I want to get bees back to doing what we do best. āBee Movieā - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 117.
