Okay, so as we all know, the Halo 2 theatrical trailer has a hidden message in it - the www.xbox.com at the end turns into www.ilovebees.com. On this website, apparently an unknown entity has taken over, is apparently calling for help, and has taken over the countdown to china countdown.

I'm using this thread to consolidate everything we know so far (because I'm getting sick reading the current thread in which people kep posting about the countdown, even though the thread is over 100 pages long as I type). So, if you have some new information regarding the site www.ilovebees.com or something of intrest you found on www.ilovebees.blogspot.com, please post it here. DO NOT repeat yourself or anyone else unless you have something intellegent to add to it. Thank you for your cooperation. If we're not all complete idiots, we'll figure all this out.

[color=pink]Cortana said...
That was surprisingly easy. Pretty lax security around here, for all the talk. They will
be helplessly chasing me around their nodes for the next millenium at least. At least
there will be some joy in tormenting this other entity that seems quite "trapped" in
their excuse for a network. Although, for some reason, it does
seem to have an obsessive
preoccupation with my mother. Strange.

At any rate, I found this "message" in a relatively archaic databank
and thought some of
you might find it of interest. Then again, I'm often either bemused or startled at the
items you find interesting.

I'm still not sure what it is he saw in you.

Cortana[/color]

[color=white]...the above is posted at www.ilovebees.blogspot.com...I've copied it directly--including the layout (the strange indents). Interestingly, the blogger's profile is not accessible. That in itself isn't too unusual, but in reference to this topic, it might be. Don't most bloggers blog to be more well known, even to strangers? Or am I assuming?

On the same blog, posted by "Rose," was this comment (at the end of her contribution): "...you wanted to be in a strange new world, it looks like one came to you... without your having to leave home after all."
Could that be a direct reference to Halo 2? After all, we will all be in a strange new world on November 9th (or August 24th, if you want to believe that all this means an early release) without having to leave home (well, for long, anyway).[/color]

Actually... in two days Meltdown will be happening... ( : (a microsoft gaming convention)

and frogwarts... that's an excerpt from the Cortana Letters, letters delivered by an entity named Cortana from Bungie studios in 1999. But thanks for the info!

In the blog this is found
"The day will break and the sun will rise when the Queen returns to rule, and further let it be known that retribution on any who hinder the return of the Queen will be swift and terrible.

that could be part of the story

yes RF, it is August 24th... our friend can't even get the date right while he's attempting to mock us...

secondly, the queen rising is found in a story that i had found online once, but seem to have lost...

[color=white]Sorry, darkmoonz! I didn't realize that was from the Cortana letters. i wonder who added it to the blog there...?[/color]

my guess is it was someone familiar with the cortana letters and just wanted to put it there to mess with us... ( :

also, the story... STORY

ledgend - we're basically just looking for anything that would relate this with either bungie, microsoft, a fake person, a real person, halo 2, an AI, any previous bungie games (marathon is a big one in my mind right now... explained in link above), etc. pretty much anything you find that hasn't been mentioned here is cool (i wasn't trying to make you feel dumb by posting that, i was just commenting that i had found that... my fault for not putting it up on the thread...)

In the other forums someone mentioned something about a weekly update that mentioned the advirtisment girl and new ways of advertisement.
I'll try to find it.

Dont you just love how sneaky bill gates and bungie are haha.
During the drawings for the halo 2 easter egg quetoes this 1 one of them. Nothing, Again, Rinse, Repeat, Nothing.

THis is off i love bees

Wrote a quick test message and sent it off to myself. Nothing shows up in my gmail inbox. Try again, this time to an older account. Check there: Nothing. Again. Rinse. Repeat. Nothing. Like a little Maxwell's Demon siphoning off all ingoing and outgoing messages. (And apparently sending out its own.)

Notice the same phrase 8-)

Also they say that the e-mail has been hacked and such i guess you could say and that all the e-mails have been whipped clean. Just a lil step to make sure people dont hack it and see hehe. Also hotmail can not be infected and have all outgoing and incoming messages absorbed. Hotmail can not be hit with a virus because it is just html coding and even if ur pc got infected ur e-mail wouldnt because the storage part of it is controlled my microsoft computers...not yours.


Also in the quetos on the site about 1999 being when she started the bee buisness......Bungie just celebrated 5 years of halo or whatever as well.

3 hives....3 halo books

In the crap about MADAY MADAY! it talks about a vesel going down and some of the crew going with it. It can be related to The pillar going down on the planet with Keyes and marines aboard. Also in the MADAY stuff it says some escaped to the rock. The rock being halo. In Another one it talks about being strapped down and having his body altered and having surgery and crap done. Master Chief was a human who had his body altered 8-)

So it looks like one big puzzle about halo filled with easter eggs. Also the part about the e-mail i may be wrong about but im pretty sure it cant be done but ay i dunno. But if you go threw just think halo while reading all the MADAY stuff and you can peace certian things about taht women to halo. Also just like to say maybe it says something about a special thanks to dana in the halo credits cause there were several specail thanks.

Ive only looked at the site a few mins but im gonna look more tomorrow.
