Subject: PARDON OUR DUST

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Yeah, toast is good... But pancakes are better.

Anyway, back on topic.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Toast with honey! I love bees...
*realises...*

I feel like Offensive Bias, when "he" outsmarted Mendicent Bias.

Just in case nobody has pointed this out yet. Webcam three has a note in it, with a name on it that could be valuable. More importantly, to the right of that screen, is an SI sticker. And, discuss.

Hey Glo, I've contributed quite a bit, but I haven't read all today yet, haven't had access to Bungie, and theres been 20 more pages added. Ill try my best though.
Me and Jumper discussed this sounds very much like a game, and a game that is set around the events of the Fall Of Reach.

This is because the communication sounded very unorthodox, like this was something they hadn't seen before, the DARE.V (S1) tag sounds like Section 1, from the ONI, and the admiral makes a direct reference to the ONI in "their caves". It is well know ONI had many bases underground on Reach, such as CASTLE and also CAMP INDEPENDANCE.

There are boxes that haven't moved for very long on webcam 2, and since Bungie is very organised, it seems weird that these boxes have been left lying around the main entranceway in plain view of the camera. Is there something in there waiting to be distributed? Or are they innocent? However, a day back (I believe) Jumper spotted a card placed on top of the boxes. By using image enhancing tools and separating colours, it looked like a green box on this card, possibly the SI logo. It's good to note now that it was A BLUR, so it sould or could not be evidence, but it was definately placed in view of the camera.
RRC (Webcam 3) did have John and the Arbiter on 360 controllers, and an SI stick, but then that changed to a Bungie memo that read
"The Ombudsman is"
and the words IN and OUT.
The world IN was boxed around when i checked. Wikipedia revealed an Ombudsman is an independant judicial who would listen to the peoples views. This made us think about what it meant, and if we were meant to contact this Ombudsman, or if it simply meant Bungie were watching.

That's the basics I can think of at the moment, any questions and I'll try answer them, it may just be I need my memory jogging, but I doubt I'll be online for much longer, 20-30mins at the very most.

Regards

*Edit - The SI Sticker and note have already been noted and discussed TMF, but thanks for the input.

To add to the Ombudsman note, we have determined that it may lead to a Beta of some sort. This evidence comes from the fact that Ombudsmen listen to the complaints of the people and the fact that one of the related stories to the original KEEP IT CLEAN post on Friday was about the Halo 3 Beta. So hopefully these help and i'd like to welcome you to the team!

Talk about sarcasm. :P
I wasn't whinging, I was being cheeky.
I know it would take longer, us Europeans always get stuff late :P
But I suppose in reality they released it and since you guts in the US were closer to their servers you got it quicker. Or, they could have used you as Guinea Pigs for the first 15mins to check if any glaring bugs appeared. :P

Both the Ombudsman and SI doesn't make any sense. The SI seems to be insisting on cleaning up a mess, the Ombudsman is in. Are they maybe opposing?

Please leave
You are not wanted here

I really think the Ombudsman is just what the guy keeping track of this thread for Bungie is calling himself. You know they have someone doing it who reports back with all the good and crazy ideas we come up with.

My guess is we have provided him with some head scratching entertainment at times.
