I second your thought Chaplain, although I too cannot think of any specific words he said. Oh well.

Personally I'm waiting for one very big joke. There will be vigils of a new kind: people sitting around at their computers at midnight waiting for something to happen on August 24, 2004. Time will pass, and hands will grow sweaty in anticipation of what could happen, what news will ripple through the internet.

Nothing happens. Bungie gets one hell of a laugh. And they keep their loyal fan base because so many people are not going to simply give up their reservations over a practical joke. Others will still buy it simply because it is a great product.

I'm thinking it must be the release date for the halo grunt plushies.

Another favorable outcome lol! But i would prefer it being Halo 2 by a longshot.

Ok. For when I posted that pic to now I have been looking at it, trying to decode it myself and seeing if it was fake or real. Right now I would have to say it is fake (here comes the taughts and the bull-blam!-). I got this file, and picture from a trust worthy friend, now to find out he tricked me. He is, of course, not on now, but I have others on all of whom are trying to figure out if it is real or not and we all (including myself) think it is fake. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart for posting this. I thought my friend was being serious since we Both were trying to crack this ilovebees.com thing. He said he heard from somewhere that unicows.dll had somehting to do with it. I should have known better and now I do, not to trust anyone even your closest friend with-out evidence. You do not know how sad this makes me that my friend would do this and now I have probally smashed my name in this community all because he thought he would make a f****ing joke.
I know you all, especially the ones that were saying it was false, are going to spam and flame the crap out of me now. I know I should have tried to replicate it myself before posting. I do however believe halo 2 is coming out on aug. 24th. but this is Totally my opinion and should not alter anyones.

Again I deeply appologize for this. If I had any doubt what so ever that my friend was playing a trick I would have checked it.


No spam or flaming is necessary. You were misled as well. All is Kosher as of now!

heres some thing i dont think any1 realised in relation to this ilovebees thing.

See, i live in Australia, so right now i am 18 odd hrs ahead of ameriaca. it is 2:50 PM right now, so since the java script countdown is counting down to 6:07 AM on the 24 august and it runs off of your clock, my countdown reads at the moment 29:15:16:45:412.

so this means that my timer will run out befor most people except those in new zealand, after me willl be asian countries then europe, then america.

So this means that its not going to be sumthing that ocurs on the website because we dont know what timezone it is thinking of or more likely it will be something that happens in each country separately.

now think about this, most computer stores open in the morning, maybe around 6am. so it would make sense that the stores are allowed to begin selling the copies of halo 2 at 6:07am on 24th august.

the important thing isn't, whether it is halo2 being released or not, but thats it is something that will happen around the globe as the day breaks in different places over 24 hrs.

Quite simply i dont see many other possibilities but halo 2 being released early because this rules out any sort of internet release, new information or otherwise, though it must be pointed out that it could quite simply be that bungie is getting lazy and took the short cut but i doubt it, its not a great deal much harder to have the clock set off another time to the pc clock.



remember that first of all the site was posted on a trailer that was telling people about when it will be released, so it makes sence that this would be refering to a new release date,

on the other hand, it must be asked why bungie would get any advantage out of the game being released earlywithout any advertisement.



there is also my favorite interpretation that makes it sound much more obvious:
In 3 days, network throttling will erode.
(the bungie team are currently beta testing halo 2, in three days they will complete this and make any final fixes)

In 17 days this medium will metastasize.
(the medium(halo 2) will mastasize(begin reproducing and distribiting) they will begin burning halo 2 cds and distribute them)

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:
29:15:27:37:820
(well if halo 2 isnt gonna be wide awake and physical i dont know what is :p)



i am happy to be converted if any1 else has a better theory for me but at the moment this seems to make the most sense
(plz dont ignor me, tell me what you think)

go there
i'm trying to gather all the information we've actually gotten about the site, the owner, and whatever else. I just started the new thread because the people actually looking into this stuff need a place to post where they can be seen, and the people who can't follow any of this need a place to read. Please don't make any stupid posts in the thread... only submit something if it's valuable to the discussion. Thanks!

I'm still starting to feel all hive-y because, somehow, I know there are some Bungie employees (no disrespect intended) laughing at the struggles of so many fans, like a child watching ants running from the magnifying glass.

The javascript is titled countdowntochina.js, and if you'd read the FAQ pages at Ilovebees.com, you'd know that it's counting down to some place in China. I can't say this is true, but i heard it was Hong Kong time. All the timers should run out at the same time cuz they use your system time, but you have to calculate time zones and small discrepancies and differences between our system timers in.

Hey, if we can get more people, we can have a competing conspiracy with the early release conspiracy: the Bungie-Is-Laughing-At-Us-Because-We-Really-Waste-Our-Nights-A way Conspiracy. BILAUBWRWONA Conspiracy. Got a nice ring to it.
