COMMUNITY CHALLENGE 1 | WORK TOGETHER

Note: Next Challenge: *Currently Delayed* - 01/10/2008 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Type: Group
Time Limit: None
Difficulty: Heroic
Status: Complete

Community Challenge 1 MVP: All Users Listed In Credits Below
Community Challenge 1 Winner: prometheus25

Objective : As a community, you must work together in order to answer the following questions. All answers can be obtained through references over the internet at Bungie.net or through an archive website. There are 7 questions for each category; once all questions have been answered correctly a hidden message will be revealed.

This is where you as an individual must use your knowledge and creative thinking to crack the code and post the message below. The first person who posts the hidden message will be the winner of the first community challenge, allowing the second one to begin. The MVP will be chosen by me for who I think either contributed the most or answered a question that nobody had any idea of.

Clarification : The Community Challenge MVP is the person who contributes the most in helping us advance to the next objective. After a certain number of challenges, there will be a MVP challenge and only those members will be allowed to participate. The Community Challenge Winner is simply the person who solves the final portion of the objective or has proven to be the best player for that specific challenge topic. They are awarded a keyword that will be needed in the future for one of the few Mythic challenges.

Hint : You must do some research and discuss all possibilities of where these answers may be located with your fellow members. The asterisk symbol ( * ) indicates that the question has been correctly answered. The correct answer should then be in parathesis as well.

HIDDEN MESSAGE :

Answer: Congradulations to the Bungie community for solving the first challenge. The person who cracked this code and posted the message here will receive a keyword via the PM system that is very important for the future. It is advised to keep it a secret from others because you can only benefit yourself. Now your second objective will begin tomorrow at noon. Be here if you want to participate because time is limited and you may need the upper hand. Good luck.

Just a request, please do not edit your posts with another (correct) answer. It is hard to keep looking at all of them. It is suggested to reply for each new time you submit an answer so I can easily keep track of where I am at in the thread replies. Thank you.

Technically, you surprised me. You said Bungie.net was the group with the highest member count and you were correct because I did consider it the first group in another question. I wanted to change it to second highest so the answer would be CompoundIntelligence. Good job catching my error.
