"Moving pictures" for ABC news

weephun@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 08 Nov 2004 01:14:12 +0000

ABC world news tonight wants to do a story on the game. Problem: they need moving pictures cuz it's like TV. Any chance that if any of you have any you could start a thread with links to which we could point the producer?

They had called me on Friday looking for this also. I don't have any, but if you do, please post links here.

DVD at training exercises

The Watcher@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 07 Nov 2004 18:32:03 +0000

I was wondering, since some of us don't live very close to these rendevous locations (and I, for example, do not own a vehicle) is a possible that someone could tell me what exactly is on the DVD, and if there is any chance that someone would provide a copy on the net for others to look at?

Site archive

AnthraX101@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 04 Nov 2004 01:56:47 +0000

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that had an archive for the actual site as it develops. Not the site content, but the site itself, like html files with images and stuff.

IS there any place where I can find this?

Apocalypso Crew Roster

rose@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 22 Oct 2004 11:32:32 +0000

Hey, I haven't posted much, but I've been lurking since about phase 2, so I'm pretty sure I've been following. I finally made contact with Melissa via email last week and got my rank (by the way CSO Xstryker - I told her you were my commanding officer :wink: ). I thought I could help out a little more though.

I've collected all the names and ranks from Melissa's crew listing and translated it into actual military ranks. I also had to purge a little, since some had been doubled up. Another curiosity - I noticed several people double listed with different ranks, yet obviously the same people. In these cases, I attempted to check the forums to see what they listed themselves as. In other cases, people didn't specify a rank, such as calling themselves Science Officer (as I am myself), yet in these cases I used the equivalent ranks for those positions.

I've got an Excel version, but no place to put it, so, for now, I stuck it up on the wiki here: http://qube.netninja.com/beewiki/ApocalypsoCrew

As I mention in there, if anyone has any questions, complains, or comments about why I ranked you somewhere, let me know - I'll either give you an explanation, fix it, or whatever.

[RESOURCE/INFO/META] Fireflies Wiki is now up! (and why)

AlexofMaceidon@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 22 Oct 2004 02:07:12 +0000

A group of players got together and decided (about a month ago) that things were becoming way too complicated on the old wiki. There was too much spec, too much unchecked fact, and simply too much editing going on for it to be as useful of a resource as it could have been.

This was not due to lack of dilligence by BriEnigma, the fabulous host of the netninja bee wiki, simply that it was nearly impossible to ensure all of the daily changes were beneficial, and not detrimental to the game, due to the sheer number of players and therefore editors.

Thus the Fireflies Wiki was born! http://ilb.extrasonic.com

We, the Fireflies, are determined to keep a clean and neat record of the in-game happenings of "I Love Bees". While not completely comprehensive (yet) we have been working on a wiki that is only editable by the Fireflies, yet is viewable by the public. This will, in our hopes, ensure that any correct and factual information is always easily accessable, for the newbie as well as the seasoned "beekeeper" alike.

From day one, we've been concerned with the possibility of others considering us as trying to be elitist. This is just not true. The only reason for our wiki being un-editable by the masses is to ensure that only factual information, presented in an organized fashion, is released. We want this to become a lasting effort that will chronicle the game while helping those completely new to the game to understand both the genre, feel and the events that occurred in the ILB saga.

Some of the material therein is new, and some of it is copied from the wiki (and in those cases, the author was contacted and proper credit is given).

If you find a glaring error or omission, please let us know, by PM-ing Extrasonic, myself, or any of the beekeepers involved in the Wiki.

You will also find any relevant spec, discussion, or current theory going on in each user's "talk" pages. This info is NOT considered fact, unless specifically stated so, and is the only location on the entire wiki where this type of information is located.

So, let us know what you think! PM us to reccomend suggestions. If your submission is used in the wiki, you will get ALL the credit! However, please note that we will not be posting new "material" without textual or in-game evidence. If you've got great spec, that's awesome! This forum is the place to flesh it out and get feedback from the community. This wiki, however, is a place just to organize current information and fact. If you're not sure, go ahead and PM us, and we'll let you know if we've got it covered or not, or if it is appropriate material! (Please check the wiki first though, before making suggestions!)

Again, please view this as a resource, as we've intended it to be. If you don't like it, or feel we're being too elitist, we apologize. That was not our intention, and we respect GREATLY the efforts of the original wiki, these forums, and we want to participate in them for the duration of the game, as they are an INVALUABLE tool to the ARGing process!

Thanks for your time in reading this! Enjoy the wiki!

Character Chart

jellyfish_green@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 20 Oct 2004 09:23:56 +0000

Welp, somehow I spent my day at work mostly crafting this character chart in Excel. 99% from memory, mind. It's time to visit the nice doctors in their white coats, and I'm sure it's all for a good cause.

Anyone who wants to host this, feel free.

Halo2 & Ilovebees Resource Site

mefree@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 23 Sep 2004 06:16:32 +0000

Hi everyone, I posted a thread, but I think I posted it in the wrong area. It was suggested to me that I post it here.

Hello everyone. I've been really ramping into the ilovebees.com site, and been answering axons, etc. Anyhow, I have resources available to me that I thought I could contribute to the community, so I created a halo2/ilovebees collaberation site. I am completely open to suggestions for content and ideas. This site is very powerful so chances are if it's something you want, it's something I can provide. I am currently working on embedding the excel spreadsheet with the axon mapping coordiantes right onto the site so you won't even need excel to use it. I'll keep you updated on that. here's the site URL - http://halo2.ntechi.com

Please feel free to email me about your thoughts and ideas to Matt@ntechi.com

Current data on the site;
announcements
downloads of audio files
links section
Axons Speadsheet download and quick reference guide
Streaming audio of currently compiled ilovebees audio!
Streaming video of all halo2 trailers!
Halo2 Single Player Screenshots
Halo2 Multiplayer Screenshots
Search Capability
Story line Surveys! (If you have a question you want answered, email me.)

Thanks everyone! I'm going to try and post where I got any info I have not provided myself (such as the spreadsheet.) Credit should always be given where credit is due.

Thanks everyone!

META : The Shortest, Simplest Summary (actually a list)

[INFO/SPEC] Bee animations from jograham.com

krystyn@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 15 Sep 2004 04:22:43 +0000

Some of the animated bee images on ilovebees.com seem to have originated from another site, http://www.jograham.com/abubeej.htm. Meta-data within the file http://www.ilovebees.com/BEEWITHH.GIF indicated that it was originally animated by JO GRAHAM. A Google search for "Jo Graham" led to her site, a collection of various animated art.

It's possible (likely?) that Dana would have simply picked up available clip art when creating Margaret's site, but there may be some other connection. So, this information is provided purely for thoroughness' sake.

This is my first ARG post and UF post, so please be understanding if this isn't useful, or got dropped into the wrong bucket.

Thanks,
R.
