Did anyone notice that the guy who claimed to be lyca joined the same day the topic was started, and was banned from the forums soon after? I think this is not the real creator of the site, and lyca.com is indeed related to halo 3


He obviously joined just to let the ppl know that his site is just an experiment. And then gave out his password, so it wasnt him that was banned. could have been anyone. the account could have been banned by princeofthesword just because the password was given. Anyway....keep thinking




But what are the odds of him getting to that forum about his site?

After getting a billion emails about halo 3 and people asking about an ARG he probably just googled it and found what looked like a bunch of poor fools wasting there time and wanted to end there misery.....so much for that..

There were a few topics in this forum about it. Apparently theres connections to the teaser trailer and the Cortana letters..but i dont want to get to far into it untill im satisfied that it is in fact a real ARG. Reading the posts in the linked forum on my topic post should clear it up for ya a bit more.

i have read alot of the post, not nearly as many as you have though. i even tried to make since of that braille theory on the covenant captial ship, but to no avail. I even used an anagram thingy to try and make since of the braille translation ECGBBOIE but nothin. So i just saw this forum and i've already started researching things

Nice. The thing that makes ARGs so frustrating is that you never are %100 sure its a game...and id really really hate to be wasting my time here...so lets try to focus on proving it is in fact an ARG. Im still not totally satisfied, but at least i see alot of ppl trying. especially GAC.

But how is it possible to find out its a game? Every thing there is to see on Lyca.com is right there, in black and white. I don't see any other theory that links Lyca and Halo 3 except that they're directions to the ark. Which has already stated a million times, and if someone else has a different theory, I haven't seen it yet.

So, wait. Isn't the topic of this thread is to show how the Lyca-Halo3 relationship is non-existant? You seem somewhat confidant that it exists. If you don't, you had me fooled.

NO WAY! Just realized, the site expires on January 6 2007 or 6/1/07, and like someone has said earlier regarding something not-lyca, 6+1=7 and seven, my brothers, is the Number of Bungie. Another funny thing..

about the lyca post...if bungie owns the site, then they own the email, right? and if they own the email, they can join from that email...so for all we know, that lyca person posting the first post could have been bungie trying to throw us off....

There is already another "official" thread for this site here. It's already been confirmed to be a legit site and not an ARG. Here's GameJunkieJim's message:


Posted by: GameJunkieJim
No, we need to stop this now.

The guy is a legit guy with a cat. The website has been there just like that for over 6 years (verified with the Wayback Machine)

I'm going to lock this thread now, so as not to encourage any more spamming of the man's email address, but I'll leave the topic linked in the Threads of Interest thread so it doesn't get lost..

haha, the different theory is kinda the thread your posting in, bud. and if i really wanted it to i could make the nutrition facts on a carton of milk sound like direction to the ark.....ok maybe the passages on lyca sort of do sound like they might have something to do with the ark , if only vaugely, but my point is that if people want it to sound like directions to the ark in the teaser trailer, in their crazy heads it just might.

Gamejunkiejim, im afraid your on your way to end this thread. please dont. it may sound kind of crazy that the guy who stared this thread has almost totally switched opinions, but i think theres a legit chance of this being a game. I just need to be proved wrong somehow, and people are trying...

Alright people. no more sending emails to the site creator, just in case. But lets figure this out a different way.....

EDIT: Im leaving for tonight. Keep this thread alive.


sorry for the double post.

As I said, I haven't seen it. Lol. I haven't really read most of the posts after the first page here, but I read plenty in your link.

Hey, hold your horse. Gamejunkiejim has already posted in this thread. Meaning that he has seen it, accepted it, and embraced it! I doubt he's going to block this thread after already seeing it and leaving it alone.

Hahah. irony. I think this is the thread that informed him of the proof. posibbly the basis of his blocking the other thread. And he posted while the thread was still just about informing ppl about the LYCA proof, he probably hast seen it since we started trying to disprove my own proof. but hey were not hurting anyone here as long as we agree not to spam the guys email. so let us speculate gamejunkiejim. Its harmless.

It fell apart, just like everything else I ever believed in. Now I'm all psyched for the inevitable Halo 3 ARG too early.

hmm.

something doesn't quite sit right with me on the explanation of lyca by this guy and the mods.

no one makes a cryptic site about their cat that well.
most "fan sites" are horrible uses of html and are very basic.
the intuitiveness of the index.html design show this guy knows more than the average joe.
second, why did he use images to show his text instead of just normally type text?

and the fact that the site was created al least 6 years ago means nothing. the cortana letters are older than that, and are increasingly relavent since the trailer. and since back in 1999, the letters mentioned Lyca, it's completely possible that bungie registered that for later use.

so here's my take on the site. at this point i don't think its an ARG. i'd like it do be, but i dunno. but there is something iffy about it. it could have something to do with halo3 and still not be an ARG, remember that.

to the person who mentioned that if it WAS a bungie sponsored ARG, then the poster on HiH could've just been a bungie employee stirring the pot. and if that's true, then HiH has the IP addy that the original message was posted from. i doubt that HiH would give that out to anyone, but i've been at HiH for a LONG time, since before halo2, and i could try getting a mod to give me that info...

one thing i noticed on lyca.com is the numbers.

in a couple of the messages, there are numbers that are speeled out then followed by there character, ie, seven (7).
in order, the numbers are:

7, 4, 2, 2, 15

i can't find anything unique or relevent to bungie at all. except that the covie ship braille theory thing. on the ship there are dot sequences in the middle that are 4, 2, 2.. but thats weak.

ok, now i know this doesnt necessarily have to mean anything, but i just noticed a connection with lyca and the trailer. It's pretty insignificant though, but it still made my heart skip a beat. Earlier, i was examining the ship braille theory, and i even tried going opposite ways of the guy who originally saw the braille. I looke upside down, right side up, back warda and forwards, and recored most of the letters down that i saw. What i did after that was change the letters into numbers, like a=1 b=2 c=3 and so on. Well, i just noticed, that i recorded the same numbers that you just put down. 7, 4, 2, 2, and 15. Its hard to see this as a coincidence, and this could somewhat be a connection between lyca and the trailer.

When i say that i saw these numbers, im not saying i saw them on the lyca page, i mean the letter to number conversion i got those numbers

you did? which way did you read them?

allthough it's insignificant if it does match up, its gonna make me way more interested.
i tried doing lots of stuff to the numbers adding them up and stuff like that, but haven't found anything yet.

the strongest point about the 'braille' on the ship is from when the screencap was. 1:17 (john's spartan number 117) and the number 77.

and just another throw into the dark, if you assign number values to 7,4,2,2,15 it'd be: G, D, B, B, O
