Subject: What is This Trickery?!

Кланяються мені!

So I was gazing at the date set for the final transition of Halo statistics and I saw something kind of funny and cryptic. I haven't heard of anybody making this connection, a quick search reveals nothing.

Anyways I noticed the date: 3/31/12.. If you add the double digit numbers together you are left with 3/4/3, a reference to 343 Industries who is "assuming direct control" for those less informed readers. So I am curious was this day specifically picked because of this coincidence, or perhaps through some mysterious interworking of the universe?

I thought you were going to comment on the fact that it's the day before April Fools' Day... Guess not.

I think that's a good observation but I don't see it being any more than a coincidence.

For the record I don't actually believe there is some conspiracy. I just thought it would be nice to point out the coincidence. However I find some of these responses hilarious :D

I was a finalist :P

3/31/12 = (3/31)/12 = 0.0080645161290322 (correct to 16 dec.pl).

Now (ignoring zeros);
8 + 6 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 49

Square root of 49 = 7.

Conspiracy.

Do you know how many letters are in conspiracy? 10. Bungie is seven letters. Conspiracy + Bungie = 17. 1 x 7 = 7. Bam.

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

Furthering the Conspiracy...
Did you know that on March 31, 1996: "Midsummer Night's Dream" opens at Lunt-Fontanne New York City for 66 performances
- 6+6=12 and 1+2=3
So we have our first number: 3
Also on March 31, 1996 Space Shuttle STS-76 (Atlantis 16), lands.
- 7+6=13 and 1+3=4
We have our second number: 4
Also on March 31, 1991 10th NCAA Women's Basketball Champion: Tennessee beats Virginia 70-67.
- 70-67=3
And we have our final number: 3

When the three numbers are put together they form: 343 and also in the year of '91, BUNGiE started as an official company...Coincidence? I think not!

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Hi. My name is Sean. I've been a Bungie fan since Halo launched. Some of my interests include games, exercising, laser tag, martial arts, movies, music, sports, and technology. Feel free to contact me at any time.

Nahh, fans are far more likely to find secret messages (where there are none) than employees.
