You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.


Active 9/1/11, Heroic 12/25/12

I love the chase scenes from the Terminator movies too. Amazing sack Bungie, sets the mood for a great weekend.

I'll work on the challenge later today.

This has to be a big anagram of some sort. I think we should start by determining what every single image is

There's a 4 inside a hexagon inside a 32 point star, half of a german clock (cuckoo), a female anime angel, a guy bungee jumping, general David Petraeus and a g-note, a green apple, and a banana phone.


I didn't mean what the images were at face value, since that doesn't give us every possibility. There has to be some significance, even symbolic, behind those images.

That spurs me to an important question:

DeeJ, is everything in the image of significance, or is there extraneous information?

Ok, here are a couple guesses:
The banana phone could be the webmaster, so possibly Bungie.net or the letters to the webmaster.
The apple could mean Apple, so mobile/iOS, so Aerospace or Crimson
Bungee jumping = Bungie
4 in the seven sided shape could mean 4 the septagon, so us, so the answer could start there.

Also, it looks like it is 4:00 on the clock.


you are on to something with the 4 us, septagon part, the file name is, it all starts with you

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

It looks like all the odd numbers appear seven times, and all the even numbers are there eight times.

The number seven appears seven times.


This man speaks the truth.

I'm going to start counting how many of every letter and number are in the image.

One also appears seven times...

But two is there eight times...


Maybe so, but we don't know much at all yet.

Anyway, I'll continue...whatever might get us somewhere.

Maybe...

2 appears 8.
3 appears 7
4 appears 8
5 appears 7
6 appears 8
7 appears 7

Idea: Since there are only the numbers 1-7 in the septagon, maybe we have to draw lines from each of the picture points (blue dots and the 4) to a certain number (one per arm), crossing out letters leaving us with the answer.

I'd like to point out that the septagon is grey.

Each picture corresponds to a number (1-7) somehow, and we have to draw lines from each picture's blue dot on the septagon to the corresponding number. The lines would cross out letters leaving us with only the letters in the answer.

Also the lines might cross over the right letters.

still don't get it, how do the pictures correspond to a number and how would drawing a line cross out the needed letters?

I think that leaves too much room for error.

Alright, im working on assembling all the letters and numbers in condescending order. Maybe it could have the same decodability possibilities as last challenge. Also, on a side note, i sorta feel bad. I was the bastard that brought this upon us. Sorry community...

On a side note, i just put chicken patties in the oven, and am now drinking some Mtn. Dew. This is about to get serious...

I don't know, the pictures would still need to be figured out.
the 4 in a septagon could symbolize us (it's also in the seventh column) so it would be first (it all starts with you).

I don't know what the others mean, but it is 4:00 on the clock, so maybe that's a hint.

Ok, how about we try and take letters or numbers out of the picture by using the photos.
So take B U N G E E out of the picture, for example, then try the same with the others. Maybe with the clock, remove the present numbers?

Maybe the 32 points on the star mean there are 32 points/letters/numbers we need to worry about?
