We're Alive REP-ivia!!!

[Litmaster]

Ok, so I got inspired to start this new thread, where forum regulars could post various trivia questions and quotes and so forth for other forum members to solve. First one to get the correct answer gets REP'd by the question asker. I thought it would be a good way to promote the Reputation System (http://www.zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?1619-The-Reputation-System) and also to kill some time between now and Season 4...


So, some ground rules:

1. Please limit your quote or trivia question to one per post.

2. Be sure to check back often and REP the first person who chimes in with the correct answer.

3. If you posed the question, be sure to either confirm or deny the correctness of the answer so that others can have a shot at it if the first answer is wrong.

4. You can make your trivia questions as hard or easy as you like, depending on how valuable you think your REP is... :)

[Litmaster]

Ok, so I'll get the ball rolling with an easy one: Which character made the following quote?

"SHOOT THAT BITCH IN THE FACE!"

+REP to the first correct answer that posts below! :yay:

Michael says it when the tower gets overrun after the flower potting incident.

Of course. I was hoping some newbie would chime in with the answer to that one.

Ok, Witch Doctor... why don't you serve up one? I'll give someone else a chance to answer first...

[Witch_Doctor]

Here's a question.
Of the following characters, which ones do NOT tell a story about themselves of some part of their life before the outbreak?
Note: Previous occupation alone does not count as background story. First to name them all get's the Rep.



The Choices:


Michael
Angel
Saul
Riley
Pegs
Datu
Lizzy
Kelly
Burt
Puck
Scratch



:brains:

Gotta go with Puck, though I'm certain that I'm wrong.

[Litmaster]

Hey! How the fuck do you make a spoiler tag on this thing??? Anyone know?

[Witch_Doctor]

Question:

This is a two parter. A quote of a quote. What character says the following quote from a movie?
"We will spare your lives. Just walk away."

Name the character and the movie.


UPDATE: The correct answer was given by WhiskyDis! See WickedSid's answer here (http://www.zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?p=54174#post54174).

[Litmaster]

Ok so this is in the category of 'EVERYTHING ELSE'... Nik told me we gotta use spoiler tags. So here's another--a HARD one, open to anyone--as it probably requires you to go back and listen:

How many times does the 'poor angry bastard' on the highway at the beginning of the story honk his horn at Michael before he gets chomped???



+REP to the first correct answer!

[Litmaster]

Question:

It should be name the character AND the movie... !

[Litmaster]

Yo! Bitch!

[Witch_Doctor]

Yo! Bitch!
I guest that's not it!:cool:

[Witch_Doctor]

Yo! Bitch!

[Litmaster]

Yo! Bitch!


NICE! Got it! Thanks, WD. Nik said we gotta use spoiler tags in the 'Everything Else' forum, so...

[Red Shirt]

Question:

This is a two parter. A quote of a quote. What character says the following quote from a movie?
"We will spare your lives. Just walk away."

Name the character and the movie.

That would be:

Lord Humongous in Mad Max 2, The Road Warrior.

[Wicked Sid]

Question:

This is a two parter. A quote of a quote. What character says the following quote from a movie?
"We will spare your lives. Just walk away."

Name the character and the movie.

Burt quotes the character Humongous (I have no idea if I've spelled it correctly) from the film Mad Max 2 (The road warrior?).

[Wicked Sid]

This one's a question:

Who is the first character that Kc Wayland plays in the series "We're Alive"?

[Wicked Sid]

I'm fine with it. I'm one of the only exceptions round these parts, so not really a point in creating a new system to replace that alright one just to cater to little ol' me.

[Witch_Doctor]

Question:

This is a two parter. A quote of a quote. What character says the following quote from a movie?
"We will spare your lives. Just walk away."
Name the character and the movie.
Gonna have to give this to Wicked Sid. He answered the name of the We're Alive Character and the movie from which the quote originally came.




Burt quotes the character Humongous (I have no idea if I've spelled it correctly) from the film Mad Max 2 (The road warrior?).
Man, writing clear and fair questions is harder than answering them.

[Osiris]

Question:

This is a two parter. A quote of a quote. What character says the following quote from a movie?
"We will spare your lives. Just walk away."

Name the character and the movie.

It's technically an incorrect quote. The line from the movie is: "I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you...." While I know the answer, I'll leave it for someone else.

Addendum

It was answered while I trying to verify the quote before posting.

[Osiris]

Gonna have to give this to Wicked Sid. He answered the name of the We're Alive Character and the movie from which the quote originally came.


Man, writing clear and fair questions is harder than answering them.

Gonna have to give it to Red Shirt. Considering the ambiguity of the question, he answered correct. You never specified "What 'We're Alive' character in the original question. Just which character.

Which character says the following quote from a move: "We will spare your lives. Just walk away."
Name the character and the movie.

So what exactly are you asking? What character from which movie? Which character and what movie? Which character was quoted by a We're Alive character, and what movie was it from? It is sort of murky, bro.

Agreed

[Witch_Doctor]

Oh yeah! We're getting a good response!

I'm thinking now we should orient the trivia questions for those who have killed
1-5 zombies
6-10 zombies
11-15 zombies
a runner and any specialty zombies
Bad Mutha Fucka and above
Of course, guys like Wicked Sid have been around forever, so I don 't know if that's the best system...

Good idea. Do we say something like, 'This question is for members who've killed x-y zombies?'

[Osiris]

Agreed

Which is part of what makes you a good, and worthy member. You're always willing to listen to the voice of reason.

[HardKor]

I've got a question for either the 1-5 or 6-10 crowd
How many floors did The Tower have?

[LiamKerrington]

Hi.

Sweet idea.

This is, how spoilerage worx:

square bracket SPOILER square bracket *spoilered information* square bracket slash SPOILER square bracket
[ SPOILER] spoilered information [/SPOILER]
(In the first tag I added a 'space/blank character' in order to let you see, how it worx.
So it looks like this in the end, if you leave out the blank space:
spoilered information

@Nikvoodoo: How about putting this thing into, uh, well EPISODE DISCUSSIONS?

All the best!
Liam

[Litmaster]

Good idea. Do we say something like, 'This question is for members who've killed x-y zombies?'

Yeah, I guess so. This could prevent old timers from spoiling the fun for newbies...

Perhaps it's simpler to just have two categories of questions (easy / hard )- easy for newbies (3 months or less registered) and hard for everyone else. I don't want to over-complicate this thing...

So no answers for the horn question?

Yeah. Given that the whole thread is going to contain spoilers, it's going to be a pain in the ass using tags for every single question. I tried to go back and edit the thread title to read *CONTAINS SPOILERS!* but there isn't an option for that once you submit the thread title.

** I sent a PM to Nik, so hopefully he can help fix the situation...**

[nikvoodoo]

Post moved. Spoilers allowed so have at it.

[Witch_Doctor]

This one's a question:

Who is the first character that Kc Wayland plays in the series "We're Alive"?

This one's an answer:

Kc Wayland plays Micheal's college professor who attempts to give a quiz to the class.

I'm not sure if this would fall under the HARD category.

[Witch_Doctor]

Gonna count this question as Medium.

Why is it fitting that Burt's call sign is Raven?


Hint: You would have to use knowledge gained from outside of We're Alive but the connection is very fitting of Burt. Out of all probable answers there is one that would be most likely correct.

[Osiris]

Gonna count this question as Medium.

Why is it fitting that Burt's call sign is Raven?

Is it actually explained in the series? Or is this based on speculation?

[Witch_Doctor]

This question should be Hard.

As of the end of the Third Season, how many times has the term INKLING been used to describe the little ones with the numbers on the We're Alive program?

UPDATE: This question was answered correctly By scbubba. See his answer here (http://www.zombiepodcast.com/forum/showthread.php?3984-We-re-Alive-REP-ivia!!!&p=54218&viewfull=1#post54218).

Here's a question.
Of the following characters, which ones do NOT give a background story of some part of their life before the outbreak?
Note: Previous occupation alone does not count as background story. First to name them all get's the Rep.
Hint: There are Five


The Choices:


Michael

Hmmm. That really opens a door to interpretation of the character's archetype. Not so much trivia. Trivia really should fall into the category of absolute truth.

[Osiris]

I'd agree with that. But I need to go back and listen to a few episodes to confirm Kelly's total lack of backstory, as well as Michael's. Something about a beach house.

I wonder if Michael would count, since we get a glimpse into his life 'before' the outbreak in the very first chapter. He's in school (not really an occupation), and he's military . . . .

Is it a grey area or am I over-thinking?

[nikvoodoo]

Michael definitely does not apply to this list. Michael's opening monologue is entirely back story.

This is a hard question because its not clear what is meant by backstory. Does backstory include Tommy and Kelly arguing about leaving his sister behind? That's backstory.

Angel doesn't tell us his backstory, but we learned about it from scratch. Does that count?

Pegs dad was a pilot and taught her to fly. That's backstory.

Puck told us why he's there and where he came from.

So my answer is none of the listed characters qualifies.

Hell even Todd has a backstory.

I think Nikvoodoo's close. I can think of only 1 that's pretty minimal.

[Kc]

Ok Here's a few. I'll play along:

1. What was the flag on the yacht, and what did it mean?

B. What was the first sign that the Z's (or whatever you want to call them) could eat things other than living?

III. Does Burt have a brother or sister?

If you answer, you must 'splain.


ALSO. Spoilers allowed in this thread now so no need to put those blocks in.

1. There were two. The first is a white flag with a red diamond meaning "Disabled". The second "looked" like an American flag, which would lead me to believe it is the U.S. Yacht Ensign flag.
B. I want to say it was in Desperate Times, part 3 when the Z was eating the dog food. Probably wrong on that one though.
III. Tough as balls. No clue on this one.

[Kc]

#1 is correct. 2, is much later in the series than the example I was thinking of.

[Osiris]

#1 is correct. 2, is much later in the series than the example I was thinking of.

Figured. I remember "something" earlier . . . but it just happened that I was listening to chapter 15 just an hour ago so it was fresh in my head.

[nikvoodoo]

The answer to kc's #2 was in the grocery store early on just before Angel and Saul found Burt. There was canned food eaten open if I recall correctly.

As for backstory, the closest thing I can think of in terms of a "main character" with no backstory is Muldoon.

Not a main character though. The main characters would be characters that appeared in the first season. The rest would have to be considered auxiliary.

Name:
1) Which character made the quote
2) To whom was the quote spoken, and
3) The circumstances in which the quote was made.

I've got a question for either the 1-5 or 6-10 crowd
How many floors did The Tower have?

I don't think any one took a stab at this one... Datu answered this in, I believe in part three of the first chapter:
Fourteen, but the floor 'count' goes to fifteen because there is no thirteenth floor.

This is a Fact: Victor was married, wife was like Frodo, he sold insurance.
This is a Story: "Back when I was little, I used to enjoy watching Looney Toons while eating bacon. My older brother, Willie, would tease me, saying that if I kept eating so much bacon that I would someday make noises like a pig. Sometimes he would hold me down and draw cartoon characters on me with a marker. I would cry so hard that when our mother would come into the room my sobs made me stutter. Willie really got a kick out of making me talk like Porky Pig. One day I took a permanent marker and drew all over his face. Boy, did he really loose it." - Duncan Roberts

This is the definition of backstory

Noun


A history or background created for a fictional character in a motion picture or television program.
Similar background information about a real person or thing that promotes fuller understanding of it.



Both of your examples fall into the definition of the word.

Further, your example of story is anecdotal narrative. Is that what you were looking for when you asked the question, or are you just being frustrated by the confusion that it has caused? Anecdotal narrative relates events of the character's past, while backstory tends to provide information that has formative value to the character in question. Why he's afraid of the dark or why he can't go into small spaces. How his father used to beat him, and even though he screamed and cried for her to help, his mother would just close the kitchen door and turn up the radio, which is why he doesn't give a shit that he's dying of lung cancer and is refusing to see him. Also why he doesn't blame his mother; she was going through the same abuse with him.

However, why is he so good at reading people? He was an insurance salesman! You say that it's fact, I say it's backstory. You say his brother drawing on his face is backstory, I say it's a past event and therefore, fact.

If we're going to split hairs . . .

Sooooooooooo, do you understand the question, or not?





However, why is he so good at reading people? He was an insurance salesman! You say that it's fact, I say it's backstory. Does he tell it like a story? Is there a 'Once upon a time' at the beginning or a 'Happily ever after' at the end? Also, your conclusion that he reads people well due to his occupation as an insurance salesman is not a story told by the character but a profile of the character inferred by you. (Please don't start parsing the word 'profile')


You say his brother drawing on his face is backstory, I say it's a past event and therefore, fact. I presented a story told by the character, not by myself. That is, the character, Duncan, tells a story, anecdote, narrative, account, testimony, big ol whopper or what ever about an event in his past.

Also, you're using the term backstory in a esoteric sense. The question states 'background story,' and is addressed to people, whom I assume are not creative writing PhDs. Two words: 1) Background 2) Story

Sooooooooo, do you understand the question or are you splitting hairs because of your frustration from over thinking it?

Unfortunately, the Automated Forum Nazi tells me that I must 'spread some REP around' before giving it to you guys, so let's just say I owe ya...

[Litmaster]

One more before I go to work... you bitches got the other one too easy, so I've upped the ante.

Make sure you 'REPLY WITH QUOTE' when you answer this one, so we don't get confused on which question you are answering:


What was the title of the book that Kelly starts reading just before falling asleep on guard duty?

Again, your idea of clarity leaves much to be desired. In that case, there isn't a single main character that has not. They have all related a story of their past. I believe you require use of a dictionary, since I'm applying the most base definitions of the words. If you want me to get deep . . . we might be here for a long time. Now, feel free to argue the point further, or simply reconsider the way you word your questions. You seem to believe that ambiguity has no affect on the outcome. Hell, even Kc agrees.

I don't believe you understand the language you are using.

I don't believe you understand the language you are using.

Quite the opposite. Ambiguity is not a discrete point, past which all clarity cease to exist. It is measured continuously on a spectrum. There are varying levels of ambiguity. Most animals { In this instance I am using 'Most' to describe a majority of types of animals as opposed to each individual animal {{ In this instance I am using the word 'type' ***Screw it! I'll never finish the sentence***}} A lot of animals, with brains can gleam USEFUL information from cloudy data.

Do you see a picture of old timey people at the park or a bunch of colored dots. 2383



.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................

I believe you require use of a dictionary, since I'm applying the most base definitions of the words.

But you use the definitions of words that were not even presented. I say 'tomato' you say 'chair.' WTF?


.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................

If you want me to get deep . . . we might be here for a long time. Now, feel free to argue the point further, or simply reconsider the way you word your questions.



Nah bro. (http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/66460/origin-of-do-not-argue-with-idiots) Although this is kind of fun, I don't have the time and this ain't the place.

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................

Again, your idea of clarity leaves much to be desired. In that case, there isn't a single main character that has not. They have all related a story of their past.


I was going to ask again if you understand the question or not, but I'm gonna go with 'maybe not' or 'That Osiris! He's a silly fellow.' So, just for you, here is a challenge.
You say that there isn't a single MAIN CHARACTER that hasn't related a story of their past. Limit the characters to the ones listed, presented, enumerated in the original question.
Now, tell me what story did they give about their past. Then compare the stories and the way they were given to the examples I gave.



This is a Fact: Victor was married, wife was like Frodo, he sold insurance.
This is a Story: "Back when I was little, I used to enjoy watching Looney Toons while eating bacon. My older brother, Willie, would tease me, saying that if I kept eating so much bacon that I would someday make noises like a pig. Sometimes he would hold me down and draw cartoon characters on me with a marker. I would cry so hard that when our mother would come into the room my sobs made me stutter. Willie really got a kick out of making me talk like Porky Pig. One day I took a permanent marker and drew all over his face. Boy, did he really loose it." - Duncan Roberts


EDIT: The real challenge in the original question isn't knowing what a particular character did. If it were, then one could simply zip through to any relevant part of the story to find the action, event, quote or what have you. Here, the challenge is to know the whole story or re-listen to the entire 50+- hours in order to find out what did not happen.

Unfortunately, the Automated Forum Nazi tells me that I must 'spread some REP around' before giving it to you guys, so let's just say I owe ya...[/SIZE]

I think that's the flaw of this game for as long as the usual suspects play this game. :cool:
I keep reading and recognizing mostly names only of such forum-members, who are the 1337 of this fandom ... O_o

Also I am quite unoriented ... How about sticking to this game instead of drifting away from it? Witch_Doctor: I like you as much as almost anyone else here; so no offense intended, when I say: Osiris is absolutely right. And Osiris asked for stopping the hair-splitting twice (at least the way I understand his postings ...). So ...

Shake hands!

2384

I haven't count all the postings here; but there is a huge amount of non-topic-related postings. And I confess and sincerely ask for pardon havin' added two unrelated postings as well. This ends as of now ... Please, stick to the game. It is a lot of fun reading the questions and your attempts to answer them ... Go ahead!

All the best!

Ok Bubba... you got it (sorta). The correct spelling is CELIAC disease (or COELIAC disease if you're a Brit, but they don't make any damned sense over there anyway, with their colours and centres...)

So you get a HALF-REP for that one. This is basically a full REP, except that I will heckle you in the comments line of the REP and rant about how much your spelling sucks.

But congratulations, nonetheless! :cool:

Nope. Well, that could be right, but it's not. Meaning, that there are some clues or pieces I'm looking for in particular. It's NOT an easy one.

[Kc]

Fuuuuk.... You mean which actor plays the character, right? I'll guess KC.... He usually plays most of the small bullshit parts.

[Witch_Doctor]

HA!

gOOD ONE!!!
So, was the niece a child of a blood-sibling or a sibling-in-law?
I have no idea where I thought I heard it mentioned that he had a sister. I may have thought of Shirley or believed that I heard something about Burt having a feminine middle name because they thought he was a girl because his Older twin was a girl, IDK.

[Solanine]

Question:

How is this WA trivia?

Does it have to be WA related? I may have mis-read the rules.

[Osiris]

It doesn't really seem to specify one way or the other. Wasn't trying to be a cunt, just asking.

Yeah. These should be WA questions only. Otherwise, the thread is gonna get way too unfocused...

It's probably a cheap shot to go filtering through past episodes looking for minutiae of no great consequence to dredge up as trivia questions, but I never let a little unsportsmanlike conduct interfere with my performance in a contest....


So, here's a tough one from the Lit-Dredge....


Name the four specific items of food

DING! DING! You are CORRECT, sir!

Unfortunately, I will have to demote you to a HALF-REP for your incorrect spelling of the word peas, which you spelled as "pease".
As far as I know, there is no Anglicized German spelling of this word. I will be forced to REP you, but ridicule your obvious lack of command of the English language in the comments line of the REP...

...Unless, of course, you were referring to Patsy Pease (the actress), Edward Pease (the former U.S. Congressman from Indiana), or Sir Arthur Pease (1st Baronet and British coal magnate), in which case you would be WRONG and the REP should be returned forthwith...

[Sammy D]

Randy.

That actually makes pretty good sense but this character is still human!

[LiamKerrington]

The Late John "Latch" *Last name Unknown* was shot twice and would've been shot thrice more had there been more bullets left in the clip. Pegs pulled the trigger 5 times.

That's correct, Sir.

[LiamKerrington]

Two part question...
1: What shot does Pegs like?
2: What way to the dance floor?

1: "That stuff", Bill brought along. I'm sorry, through the mumbling of Bill I did not get the name of this "stuff" ...
2: To 'your' right.

Like I said. Good luck. It's not directly said in the series.

The Maller Johnny

Bingo! Great job!

[LiamKerrington]

Hmmm idk, he says it pretty clearly.

Obviously I don't recognize it. :(
That's the drawback being a Kraut not understanding slight mumbling AND certein product names ... ;) Gonna try it again ...

EDIT
I just recognize something along this line, when he makes his first firendly lines towards Pegs, Michael, and Angel: "... mumblemumble Water Cash ... I was saving it"
And later, when Burt shows up, he says something like: "this mumblemumble was teasing me for months"
And later, when it is served, he says something like "a glass mumble (for everyone?)"

I give it up ... Someone's elses try...

[clem131]

Hmmm idk, he says it pretty clearly.

For you maybe. I listened to the show several times, and before seeing this question I did not think he even said it at all: this question made me suspect he did. I'm guessing maybe is something not sold here in Europe, so not knowing the name my brain classified it as the usual mumbling from Bill, OR it is something which I know but pronounce differently. Now, I'll keep reading the thread to find which is it :)

Good luck on this one. Where does Tardust get his name?

Like I said. Good luck. It's not directly said in the series.

I'm guessing: he's like the Tinkerbell of bombs: goes around merrily and detonates things, and instead of stardust he leaves tardust on his wake.

[LiamKerrington]

Maybe he was involved as a driver of exceptional skill.

Tardust was a UNIX admin at Princeton. His job included archiving interstellar dust maps on a regular basis, you know...

[scbubba]

Re: Tardust's name

Back at Eastern Bay, he used to always rap Saul Williams lyrics from the album "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust". This led other inmates to regularly yell down the hall: "Shut the hell up, Tardust!"

Khalani speaks of Hawaii.

Kimmet mentions some of the above and adds these two regions explicitly.
Oregon

He also mentioned the "Bay Area"; but as a none-US-guy I have no idea what exactly is meant with it - the seas around Chicago, the bays at San Francisco, the Gulf of Mexico? No idea, which is why I did not include it in this question.

So not mentioned are these four cities; yep, I made them up:

Las Vegas

That would be: Pegs, Chief Muldoon and Kalani AND the HH3 Pelican (AKA Jolly Green Giant and Sea King), UH-60 BlackHawk and the Bell 412 Huey.


Only one other chopper was in the show, the CH-47 Chinook. That pilot may have had lines, but I don't think s/he was named.

Ok, so the game is fun but it could be a bit more streamlined, I'll agree. Witch Doctor's solution may be an alternative but it seems a bit laborious to be going back and linking all this stuff. Pretty much any questions that are from more than, say, 3 pages back are going to be answered anyway.

What about just going back and deleting the question once someone answers it?

This raises a pretty good question on forum etiquette and forum "house" rules... when jumping into a thread already in progress, how much of it should you read up on? My general rule of thumb, depending on info density, is <10 I'm going to read all of it. <20 heavy skimming and >20 sampling & light skimming, both I'll read all of the previous 3-5 pages.


Then again that depends on the importance of the subject... For the chapter 36 discussion, I read all (then) 36 pages of it before jumping in.

There are way more than 6, but you are probably looking for:

Broken wing - Michael
Penguin - Saul
Albatross - Kalani
Vulture - Kelly
Chicken Little - Pegs
Raven - Burt
Toucan - Angel

but then there is:

Nest - The Tower/Tower guard room
Hen - Bell 412 Huey
Rooster - HH3 Pelican
Blue Jay & Robin - Jakob and James (don't think which is which is specified)

[Robzombie]

I could go on and on with these but I'll limit myself to this last one for today:

Who did Kelly call an "ass" and for what reason?

Edit: because I thought adding this would be fun...

Who did Angel say was an "ass", and why?

If I can get an answer for each by someone different, 1 rep each, much appreciated.

Every time a tower falls, an Angel gets his wings...

A tape recorder was used by Lizzy, as an extension to her journal after she got "kicked" out of the Tower. It was found by Saul in the cab of the truck she was in with Bricks and Tardust, after the Arena attack when Saul went AWOL from the airport.

A TIVO was used also by Lizzy, very shortly into their stay at the Tower. She was checking the apartments for TIVO's and other DVR's hoping to find recorded news segments.

Camcorders were put to use (after modification) by Tommy, along with monitors, in order to provide the Tower with improved security.

Hope was also shown how to use the audio segment of the enhanced (post fire S.02) Tower security system.

About the first one, I can think of at least two instances:
Angel asks if there's "any Kelly gobblers out there" and after someone (Steven?) says no, she answers something like "thank you, ass".
She also comments on Michael upon arriving at Irwin "So it wasn't you being an ass, just your training"

[Sammy D]

Question: (This is an earlier question that has been re-phrased) What is the likely reason that Burt has the call sign, Raven?

Hint You are gonna need a little knowledge of American Literature for this one

The raven is a poem about a man who greatly misses his lost love and speaks to a thing that won't truly respond (like a certain desert eagle) as a means of reaching out to her. Seems like a perfect description of Burt though I doubt Burt himself would state that as his reason.
Lets also note the ancient folklore associations in multiple cultures with the raven as the wily trickster. Seems like Burt to me.

[Litmaster]

Good luck on this one. Where does Tardust get his name?

Like I said. Good luck. It's not directly said in the series.

Chapter 24, The tower crew was packing up to leave for Irwin while Michael, Saul, Burt (and a few others) were prepping for the bogus exchange at the golf course.

She said "Thanks for that, by the way. Ass." and it was Steven.


And check my edit for the harder one. You have a couple but not all.

As for the recording devices, the only other one that I can think of at the moment is Tanya used a scanner to digitally transfer the Tower crews journals into (I'm guessing) a laptop.

CJ had video cameras recording at Dunbar Towers (re: a still of TOWTM pulled from video & vid of Kalani going in and out of the radio room).

Dentist/Doctor at the Maller occupied Colony used an ultrasound machine on Lizzy and recorded a picture of the little one with it.

And of course, a whole bunch of people have used a very common recording device - the journal. They have been recording thoughts and events in them since early in Season 1. Examples include Michael, Saul, Pegs, Burt, Kalani, Datu... :-)

I did not see mentioned the camera used to film Angel dying, did I miss it?
