	UPDATES

	october.10.2007 from mike: Well, well, well - waste-game-news.com is finally back in my hands after a long hiatus (and brief hostile takeover by an unknown party). Let me first say this - the game hasn't progressed since about 2003, aside from a Flash-based chatroom. Chapter 3 never materialized, but that's okay. The game was great while it lasted, and lots of cool folks got together to interact with the band in an interesting way. This website is dedicated to keeping some info out on the net about Radiohead's wonderful waste game/Byzantine Ziggurat. May the Ziggurat rise again sometime in the future! Thanks to everyone who made this experience so wonderful, most especially Mel @ waste for putting up with my persistent emails! And of course, to Radiohead, for being who they are.

	june.21.2003 from Mel: There is work being done in a very full on way to bring something new and exciting in - other than saying yes there is going to be something, there's very little more I can say. There is a lot behind a game that we have to go through and takes time - mostly it is 'out of our hands time' until the right information is fed back to us and we can proceed. That is exactly where we are right now....................

	june.19.2003 from mike: the login page starts up the Waiting Room again. it's been back up for awhile, but I haven't updated the news in a bit. still no sign of chapter 3, whether it will ever show up is anyone's guess.

	may.23.2003 from lonely minotaur: there's a new login page. it pops up a page called login.cgi, but doesn't seem to be working right now. it's just a black screen.

	april.28.2003 from rex and At Ease: www.radiohead.tv an e-mail sent out last week mentioned there were videos, fan art, i-blips, tracks from the album, covers of singles, games, labyrinth game (see march.03.2002 news), etc to be hosted on a new Radiohead site.

	april.05.2003 from mike: maxk on development of chapter3 maxk was in the Waiting Room of the Ziggurat and talked a bit about chapter3's progress. the Waiting Room is currently the only room available, but when asked how many rooms will be available in the future, he replied "2,700." it is assumed that one will be able to travel among rooms in various ways, as max and thom have both entered and exited "through a door to the north" and "through a door to the west" in the past.

	december.01.2002 from tchockette: give us a picture

	october.12.2002 from abbatoir noises: the waiting room for chapter3 is now open. thanks to abbatoir noises for listening in on a conversation between maxk and Stanley. some details about chapter3 were divulged.

	august.22.2002 from mike: there's a page up now for chapter3. the title on it is "Playing Zeus." check it out here.

	august.06.2002 from Slingy and sirensong: prizes for chapter2 have been awarded to Slingy and sirensong, the only two apprentices to complete all of the items requested by Minos. Slingy's "Certificate of Byzantine Zigguration" is below. more of the prizes can be seen here. for our own cheap imitation Certificates of Byzantine Zigguration, go here.

	may.29.2002 from abbatoir noises: the pic above was found here. going to www.the-ziggurat.com/cgi-bin/getrightpic.cgi will bring up the same thing.

	may.13.2002 from stephen8983: Follow-Ups | Post Follow-Up | Radiohead Message Board | HELP POSTED BY maxk ON 13th May, 2002 AT 11:44:07 IN REPLY TO: Max!!! POSTED BY Stephen8983 no more than a week. its out of my hands has been all done for a few weeks now. its really up to a certain few people getting their act together. and unfortunately this being radiohead-land, time is a pretty damn elastic thing. still it looks like its going to be a nice sunny day outside.

	may.05.2002 from Rubish0: i think this is quite interesting (found in a dark corner of waste-game.com): this is also quite interesting... we're on your trail, max...thanks Rubish0.

	april.13.2002 from mike: still no sign of chapter 3. i'm keeping my eyes out for any changes, just like all of you. if you see anything happen, or find something you find curious, email me so i can share the news. i've heard the game team is still working on chapter 3.

	march.08.2002 from gabi- on the NZMB: there's already a Chapter3 index.html (even though it's still a black screen). http://www.waste-game.com/chapter3/

	march.03.2002 received from the byzantine ziggurat: Dear Byzantine Ziggurat apprentice, Well done in your relentless quest to build pieces to please the almighty King Minos. Word has it that he is mightily impressed and amused by your trinkets and offerings. Daedalus is also very impressed with your skills and persistence, and of course, being one of the very few out of thousands who managed to prove themselves worthy to some degree. All your hard work has been carefully noted down so if you choose to take part in any part of the Byzantine Ziggurat in future, please make use the same user name and password. But as sure as the sun sets on the smoking remains of the Workshop of Daedalus today, it will rise again onto a new blood-splattered field of terror and incomprehensible skulduggery soon. You have been warned. Love, Radiohead and w.a.s.t.e. towers attached on the email: labyrinth.jpg (shown below) in case you were wondering... Main Entry: skul·dug·gery Variant(s): or skull·dug·gery /"sk&l-'d&-g(&-)rE, 'sk&l-"/ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -ger·ies Etymology: origin unknown Date: 1867 : a devious device or trick; also : underhanded or unscrupulous behavior
