Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

UPDATE: I am sufficiently convinced that this has to do with Halo 3. There is also a great (if somewhat spammier) discussion going on in the Halo 3 forum about this incident. For these reasons, I am going to ask a moderator to lock this thread up. Thanks for participating, and I'll see you in the Halo 3 forum discussion!

Link to discussion thread about AdjutantReflex in the Halo 3 forum

I know that there is a "no threads about specific users" rule, but I hope that this warrants an exception from the usual. I also hope that the mods decide that until this thread is confirmed to have something to do with Halo 3, a post in the Community forum is appropriate.

As many of you may have already seen (and many may not have, since some of you avoid the Halo 3 forum like the plague), this morning at 10:26 AM, a mysterious message appeared in the Halo 3 forum entitled, "System Integrity Confirmed." The thread was created by a user named AdjutantReflex, whose system security role is "CompoundIntelligence."

AdjutantReflex's text is gold.

AdjutantReflex claimed to be "facilitating Array requirements."

After exactly 100 excited and confused replies from forumgoers, AdjutantReflex locked and stickied the thread. The thread was open for about two hours.

To see the thread filled with AdjutantReflex's mysterious posts, click here.

Some hypothesized that he is the monitor of a new Halo that will be seen in Halo 3. Others thought that he is a rampant AI loose in Bungie's systems. Is it a new ARG? Something to alleviate our depression caused by the end of the Beta? Or is it real?

Read the thread and decide for yourself. I've just found something that will keep me not-bored for the rest of the afternoon! I will update this thread as new information is found. I will also create a Bungiepedia article about it and keep that updated as well.

Discuss your thoughts!

EDITS/UPDATES:
AdjutantReflex confirmed that he entered Bungie's systems "by force," but stated that it was irrelevant because there was no hostile intent.

AdjutantReflex then moved to HBO, creating a series of posts there as well. See his HBO thread here.

AdjutantReflex's mysterious closing, stating "871803909 ± 384 hours since event," works out to 99,520.99 years, plus or minus 16 days. By the time of Halo 3's events, it will be about 100,066 years since the "event."

I think a better question is WHAT is AdjutantReflex. My idea is an AI of the Forerunners, possibly a result of Cortana's infection/rampancy, or the Ark installation.

His join date is 6/11/07, which means that this account was made today. Interesting. Maybe it's the Soul going rampant.

I didn't notice until now...

But why post in the Halo 3 Forum where it could easily be detected? Perhaps he/she/it should have posted in the Halo: CE forum, or the Underground where he/she/it could have gone undetected. Something's a little fishy around here.. *keeps eyes peeled*



PS: Foman, you did well while you were on the toilet..... better than I expected.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

I would have to assume that he/she/it locked the thread to avoid an onslaught of pointless posts and to make it easier for people to follow.

Otherwise, I would just sit back and wait for it to sort itself out.

Puzzles make my pants happy.

He/she/it was probably trying to draw some attention, so he/she/it posted in the halo 3 forum. If he/she/it is a hacker, then he/she/it probably isn't worrying about being detected.

I'm going to be having bad dreams about this tonight.

I am guessing an AI -- not a human.

Even AI's like to have fun, I suppose.

Yeah, that's my best guess at this point.

Adjutant has also been at HBO forums.

I am pretty sure we all know that Bungie's site is nearly impenetrable to hacking. But then again, I may be wrong. My guess, is that it is just a mere marketing ploy. To get players more into Halo then they are. After all, to get attention to something, you have to create confusion.

On the HBO forums:
: Is this is the same AdjutantReflax that has hacked Bungie.net?
Forceful entry was inelegant but necessary.

: I'll tell you where the Sleeping Princess is.
Detailed investigation complete. You do not possess that location. Data acquisition complete. Compiling local archives/resources. [Hibernating] until next incident.
