*Comes back from work to see that nobody solved the riddle*

I guess I can't be too surprised. Let's get back to work. Thanks for the hint(s) MisssingLink.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Intriguing.

Had a theory, but I think it already failed.

Thought maybe 7 pictures represented 7 Bungie members. Started separating their tags to see if it spelled anything or left anything out. Not sure on some names though and too much is left open.

**Back to the drawing board**

What if this 'Missing Link' is Jason Jones? Think about it; the missing person signs throughout Halo 3.... It might be a coincidence but maybe not.(If this has been stated before, I am sorry.)


As for the challenge, I have nothing.

So far we have (from MisssingLink's hint):
The Bannana Phone must symbolize the Webmaster.
Apple helped kick start Bungie's first Xbox title, Halo.
Bungee jumping obviously is Bungie itself.
Angel picture has a Halo.
General Petraeus and the G chord could symbolize Marty.

The only one I'm stumped on is the "Half the Time" picture.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it but when you compare the Mail Sack image with the "It all begins with you" image there are some similarities. Like the septagon is almost the same color as the background color. And a banana is in each of the them. Plus a saxophone which may have something with the musical notes. Eh. I'm trying.

You might be on to something. Check out the stamp on the top right. It looks as if there is an outline of a staff(music lines).

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

maybe half as in severed, as in ling ling?

Can you relate the pics to the seven steps for world domination?

The sack is even called "mail sack saves the world"

Maybe the half-time symbolizes Bungie's hiatus from making video games. Their break, so to speak.

Destiny.

The septagon is often linked to Bungie's 7 Step Plan, and the first three line up...

1. Start independent gaming software company. Completed (Bungie)
2. Dominate Mac platform: Launch assault on Windows platform. Completed (Apple)
3. Announce killer gaming title. Completed (Halo)
4-7.... ?

Dunno if this will help but I found the word "divide" by linking some of the dots to the letter U. Maybe more words can be found to make a message if you connect more.

I'm not sure how the clock fits into the ling ling interpretation. And I don't think these could relate to the seven steps to world domination.

Does anyone think that the picture of the female Angel might be referring to BS Angel? I mean, I know she's with 343i... But she used to have a lot of experience in dealing with Bungie... Maybe the link between the seven people is that they all had/had given away Recon before it had become available to the public? (BS Angel used to give it away on her blog). Of course, this is assuming that, A) Marty O'Donnell and the Webmaster are also represented and that B) They've both given away Recon at some point. Regardless, I'm going to look into Ascendant Justice (Cocopjojo and Vociferous, perhaps?) as well, and see if I can't find a connection there.
Of course, all this is assuming that they're referring to seven (or six, I'm still not convinced why the four on top is different) people. I may be way off on this, who knows?

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

maybe the clock is something to do with 'half time'.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Bungie's making the next Madden game... or the Bungie Pentathlon.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

Maybe This It has a G

Did anyone look into the spatial relationship stuff SGSouth had mentioned? Something I'm guessing like this.


Heh, I'm familiar with Esri software, maybe even have an old copy of ArcView 3.x around somewhere... let's hope it isn't needed to figure this out -- my Avenue skillz haven't seen daylight in ages.

For those curious about Bungie's 7 Step Plan for World Domination, try here:
http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/Plan_for_World_Domination

Others more familiar than I with Bungie's internals will need to decipher the meaning behind the pictures. I'm looking at the letters and numbers... connect the dots indeed... is that a dragon?...

Thanks Bungie for fun puzzles!!!

what about the sevens steps to world domination, the first four are easy, but I'm studk on the last three
