I found this site on SPDR I don't think anybody has commented on. (Haven't read all 200+ though).

And did anybody else notice Aug 24 is Tuesday, the day most movies and games are released?


Might be a fake, might not be a fake

They did use the &nbsp twice, normally a tag for spacing, but this is what google found

sorry man i'm tired and havent bothered to read all 10 million replies...........i'm sure understand


Its no big deal. With all this bee crap useful posts are bound to get lost. I don't think the posts were in this thread, though, because I haven't look at it until now (and I haven't seen much to make me continue to watch this thread).

Margaret's Honey
San Francisco, CA

"The end of the World is upon us! I wont be selling these items after Aug 24th due to the BEE's."

Thats my favourite part of the shop. Could be important clue OR this could be fake and been made by someone trying to trick people. Maybe Margaret knows more than we thought?

SORRY IT KEPT SAYING TOPIC NOT FOUND WHEN I POSTED THAT LIKE 6 TIMES ANYWAYS ENJOY AND IM SORRY I GUESS NOT MY FAULT THO

Alright, maybe this stuff is already known, but it may be helpful to recap a few things.

First, it seems the Ilovebees site is going through even more trashing with completely new phrases. It seems to be revealing new content as time goes on. An example:
[color=orange]
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
black beach, nothing but sand and darkness. Sometimes, in the distance, dry lightning: in the flash I see pieces of the wreck around me, the spars and rigging of my brain

-hold on. hold on. Steady up. Get a grip, girl. You have to fight through this.

Take a deep breath.

Survival Key #3: How Badly Are You Hurt?

Mentally, subject is confused and disoriented.

I keep slipping in and out of consciousness.

Physically, subject is paralyzed but moving.

Okay.

What the hell does THAT mean?

Held down: yes. As if strapped to a table. Could I be in traction in some sick bay, some hospital ward?

Not necessarily one of ours.

But at the same time, parts of me being moved around, emptied out. As if under general anaesthetic, dimly conscious, half-aware as the surgeon cuts off my feet and sews them onto my shoulders. She opens my head with a medical hammer and sand spills out.

I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO-

-no.

never that.

survive evade reveal escape. That is all you know, or need to know.
[/color]

I know that most of all the different sayings on the site were catalogued, but I haven't seen this one before. Next, is the odd Marathon.Bungie site. For some reason you are always the 777777th visitor. And if you click the link for news for July,

http://marathon.bungie.org/story/newmjuly-aug04.html

You'll get nothing but an error page. However, by taking out the extra 'm' in the URL, you get:

http://marathon.bungie.org/story/newjuly-aug04.html

Which links to the correct page. Also odd, at the bottom of the page, he says that the page counter was 'created by some nefarious being :)'. More confusion.

And if anyone wanted the source code to the countdown timer, (which is named countdowntochina.js) here it is:
[color=blue]
Countdown();
function Countdown()
{
currentDate = new Date();
targetDate = chinatime;
//alert(targetDate);
diff = targetDate.getTime() - currentDate.getTime();
diffSecs = Math.floor(diff/1000);
diffMins = Math.floor(diffSecs/60);
diffHours = Math.floor(diffMins/60);
diffDays = Math.floor(diffHours/24);
milliseconds = diff % 1000;
seconds = diffSecs % 60;
mins = diffMins % 60;
hours = diffHours % 24;
days = diffDays;
millisecondsStr = "";
if (milliseconds < 10){
millisecondsStr = "00"+milliseconds;
}
else if (milliseconds < 100){
millisecondsStr = "0"+milliseconds;
}
else millisecondsStr = milliseconds+"";
secondsStr = (seconds < 10 ? "0"+seconds : seconds+"");
minsStr = (mins < 10 ? "0"+mins : mins+"");
hoursStr = (hours < 10 ? "0"+hours : hours+"");
daysStr = (days < 10 ? "0"+days : days+"");

document.getElementById("counter").innerText = daysStr + ":" + hoursStr + ":" + minsStr + ":" + secondsStr + ":" + millisecondsStr;
setTimeout("Countdown()", 99);
}
[/color]
I know most of this doesn't make sense and is mostly disorganized, but I hope this helps someone be able to try some things together and WIN this thing. This is one game I don't want Bungie to win, I want the FANS to win this time. Hoorah to everyone who tries to figure this out.

I think now we might have some cases of people putting that on their site to be cool. No strange text like ilovebees, the countdown is on all pages. Looks like a copy cat.

dude......look at this.....wtf....

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-

stop. stay on task, girl.
so *pop*, and I'm...

playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or ...? There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face-

oh.

we're made of sand.

we're both made of sand.

uh-oh.

I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.

There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.

There are people who love me. There must be.

here come the spiders.

WHAT IS WITH THE SPIDERS???!?!!!

Here's the first half of all the messages you'll find on the ILOVEBEES site:
[color=orange]
That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was. The Operator. I wish I could remember their names.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a flea's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Tricky. Can't seem to focus. Need to start on the easy ones, like "up". Move on to the compass later.

Up.

Up.

...Damn it.

You'd think "up" wouldn't be too much to ask. It's not like nor-nor-east or something.

I need to find out where I am. Also who, but that might be less important. It's possible the two things are related.

Stars, I need stars. I was always a fine sailor; they said my navigation was celestial.

I think I am a fallen star. I should wish on myself. Please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please let me go home, please please please please please please please ple

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Ship.
Wreck.

Shipwreck.


Wrecked.
Ship.

Shipwreck.

MY HEAD IS FULL OF SAND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Of course the crew won't come for me if they're all dead. If they're all dead and I alone am left to tell the tale.

I'm crying, and my tears are made of sand.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

First thing I should do, make a signal.

The crew will come get me if they can.

Head is full of sand and it's hard to think.

But they won't stop looking for me.


I'M HERE I'M HERE I'M HERE


I'd fight for them. I'd die for them, any

of them. I would never abandon the crew.

They won't abandon me. They will come.

They will come for me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Those are pearls that were her eyes:
Nothing of her that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange

Eight legs (I feel them walking on me) and how many voices-three? Five? Eight?-I am become a most delicate monster indeed.

What a brave new world-sand and darkness, sand and loneliness, sand and emptiness, sand and the spider-what a brave new world, that hath such monsters in it.

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING

"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."
