ilovebees.com speculation here

[Pajter]

Lol yeah.. But I bet a lot of people are gonna care if there's a Halo 2 demo coming :p

[stanley porkchop]

i hope that site will get hacked and eeverything will be replaced with "halo sucks. bungie sucks. go do something productive" :whistle:

I hope you die!

:D

[Porphyro]

FYI

I was looking at the ilovebees site and noticed a quote on

http://ilovebees.com/surg.!store.prima...em.dmg.0.2.html

The quote was "and I alone am left to tell the tale." That is a pretty famous quote from Moby Dick. Not sure how it works into the Halo/Halo 2 storyline, but I'd thought I'd share.

[stanley porkchop]

I retire.

All this speculation still hasn't gotten us anywhere.

We can't solve a puzzle if we don't know what we're supposed to be figuring out.

All we can do is wait and see what happens. Hopefully it'll be worth it.

[Pajter]

Yeah same here.. I'll just be patient and wait for something to happen on August the 24th... I wasn't really puzzleing anyways so that doesn't matter. I really hope it'll be something awesome! :D

Off of "the hives" link:

"survive evade resist escape survive evade resist escape"

This is some good stuff eh? ;)

S.E.R.E.

Its a school located in Maine for Marines/Army. It is designed for if you are captured it teaches you how to "withstand" mental and physical torture so you dont give up intelligence. Seriously they beat you there. No sleep and you get caught and live in cages.

blah blah blah...

care to explain how you got this email? whats it all about? what did you ask her?

[Alpha2004]

well it has something to do with halo 2 im guessing. i dont remember what I asked. Its real, not fake.

[CactusZac098]

The hidden text at ilovebees.com is hinting on Halo 2's script if you haven't figured it out yet.

[stanley porkchop]

The hidden text at ilovebees.com is hinting on Halo 2's script if you haven't figured it out yet.

Would you like to bet on that?

[Pajter]

How much are you betting? I'm in! Could use some extra cash ^^'

[stanley porkchop]

:p

If we're going to bet cash, how will we get it to each other?

I'll go 20 bucks, tops, that the text on ilovebees is not from Halo 2. It might be related to the story, yes, but it's not from the script.

[MackDiesel2010]

Well duh, it's not related to the script.

[wing.]

lmao this is the coolest thing ever !

also theres an image of a blurry girl save as and its name is killer . :alien:

Well, there's confirmation. No demo in August. No game in August.

Bungie's finally put a stop to that rumor.

But then what is inside of OXM? They seem to have confirmed that the whole thing has something to do with that....

[pimpshiznid]

I figured I might want to throw something I just found out there.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ihatebees.com

Somehow, there was something there on June 6th of 2003.

I tried ilovebees.com. No luck.

I don't know if it has anything to do with this. Just figured I'd give something else to ponder.

Now, look at this....

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:N7e-V...e=UTF-8&strip=1

And view the link, and check the corresponding URL in your Address Bar. I think, we may have found either the people behind this...(station6.org)

[golazo]

lol all this is exciting but i'd laugh if its nothing

[stanley porkchop]

I just got an email from Dana. It's exactly the same thing as what Alpha got. Odd.

The whole thing gives me the impression that the email bit is a joke. Teenage mutant ninja turtles?

I'm not even going to bother looking into it further. If anyone cares, the font color in the emails is green.

[MackDiesel2010]

Well, even if August 24th doesn't offer a Single Player Demo Release of Halo 2, ilovebees is surely halo related and, whatever is released, we will all think its cool.

[Alpha2004]

Time to China! 0-8:0-8:0-52:0-50:00-621

wtf?

http://www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.p...em.dmg.0.0.html

SURPRISE!

Look up and smile, honey.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Got the drop on you that time, sweetheart.

Opening shot of my search and destroy. I'm going to know everything about you. Where you live and what you buy, how you think and who you love. Know the enemy.

Young and out of uniform,

http://www.ilovebees.com/killer.jpg

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY Phasmids. I have to signal, I can't stay stranded here. But if I somehow am operating behind enemy lines, I don't want to draw attention to myself, either. Therefore, I shall be a phasmid. Phasmidia Elegans, they call me-scourge of the sandbox. God I hate it here. Phasmids.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Of course the crew won't come for me if they're all dead. If they're all dead and I alone am left to tell the tale

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING

"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."

Head is full of sand and it's hard to think.

But they won't stop looking for me.

I'M HERE I'M HERE I'M HERE

I'd fight for them. I'd die for them, any

of them. I would never abandon the crew.

They won't abandon me. They will come.

They will come for me

Hello - I am Margaret

Hi, I'm Margaret and thank you for visiting my website! I am a retired substitute schoolteacher (17 years in the Vacaville school system.) I became interested in the internet through my honey business. I live with my cat, Farnsworth.

Farnsworth on the pillow!

Im a beekeeper, click HERE for information about my hives and my business.

My hobbies include reading, especially mysteries. I especially love Ellis Peters and the Brother Cadfael books and Alexander McCall Smith and the Precious Ramotswe books. As you can see I like my mysteries cozy! And of course, I like reading them with a cup of red tea with my own honey!

But the most important thing in my life is my family. My sister Chloe, and her daughter Dana. My sister and I didn't always get along growing up, but she has always been there for me, and Dana, my niece, is truly the daughter I never had.

raindrops ticking on a tin

Special thanks to my Dana.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

black beach, nothing but sand and darkness. Sometimes, in the distance, dry lightning: in the flash I see pieces of the wreck around me, the spars and rigging of my brain

-hold on. hold on. Steady up. Get a grip, girl. You have to fight through this.

Take a deep breath.

Survival Key #3: How Badly Are You Hurt?

Mentally, subject is confused and disoriented.

This is my web page mostly dedicated to beekeeping. I have been beekeeping for seven years and I?m still learning. I have three hives and I produce and sell pure and natural honey (unheated and unfiltered, unlike grocery store honey.) Click here for more about Margaret's Honey.

I keep slipping in and out of consciousness.

Physically, subject is paralyzed but moving.

Okay.

What the hell does THAT mean?

Held down: yes. As if strapped to a table. Could I be in traction in some sick bay, some hospital ward?

Not necessarily one of ours.

But at the same time, parts of me being moved around, emptied out. As if under general anaesthetic, dimly conscious, half-aware as the surgeon cuts off my feet and sews them onto my shoulders. She opens my head with a medical hammer and sand spills out.

Is it me, or does The Operator seem to act a lot more like a Covenant AI than a UNSC one? Or possibly it's a UNSC one that's been tainted from using Covenant AI code? (Read First Strike)

[JiveMasterT]

isnt dana going away somewhere anyway? i forget and im too lazy to read her blog.

Wouldd't it be possible that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle thing in the e-mail has something to do with Sammy the Snapping Turtle? Or whatever it was called...
