That's some good research! I think you're on the right path there..I'll add to it some...
Taking your thought further....kinda interesting how that Facebook post with [GAME ON] and the swarm music video..id have to crawl through the Blockchain data to see when those tokens started being minted... Surely it's possible that post and the music video telegraphed what weve started seeing on hive right?
Additionally, with the goal of a queen bee being to colonize.... so with PLN's white paper being more complete (and at least to illustrate this idea, I'll say focused on splinterlands).. I would venture to guess these new tokens being minted are laying the groundwork/infrastructure for the queen to colonize into other games. And based on the layers of complexity I've seen so far, they're probably a game in and of themselves.
So the queen needs to colonize...is forced to distribute her assets through the pools, but she also wants control of her colony..
Also some other interesting subtitles out there...ever notice how queen bee is red? Not green like the nectar queen in splinterlands. Not black and yellow like a normal bee... she's the red queen. Also some other interesting spacing on words out there ( like [RED] [ACTED]) Plus some parallels between other universes...IE, the red queen (Alice in wonderland), the Palace token (says tread lightly in Wonderland)...much to ponder! 🤔
Have you found your way to the CEO discord yet? I think there are more clues waiting to be discovered there as well.
