am i the only one that feels a bit... slighted by the fact anyone can go to the combat training? i know it's a bit elitist and all, but it just feels wrong that we did all this work of answering payphones and organizing and whatnot (though it was a lot of fun! ), and then all these other people just get to jump in and play and do the stuff that we get to do w/out any knowledge of the other stuff that went on beforehand.

i almost want to be like, "you guys over here didn't do anything, so you just stand there and watch us get all this cool crap and play halo 2 before you."

when i have a superiority complex, i do this

This is me spacing out about random scenarios, but wouldn't it be fun if there was a quiz or a password we had to know or you guys know what I mean...more "training exercises" before any actual touching of teh Halo 2.

Okay for the San Francisco people.

Would anyone be willing to let 3 Idahoans (Boise Squad) Members, including weephun, Mad Cow, and EvilJester crash at their place after the Incredibles movie? That means they'd be seeing the incredibles. I've already invested a good chunk of money out of my pocket and I dont fancy a hotel room that we will only be using for mb 8 hours to sleep in (if that...) I know this may sound commanding or very straightforward, but we would appreciate any offers.
I know Mazian offered his place and we are grateful for that. Unfortunately the trains shut down while we are in the movie so we wouldnt be able to get a ride out there. Thanks guys.

You know I sympathize re lurkers suddenly showing up when there's swag like a demo. But it's pretty common. And the reality is they don't know you, we don't know them, they'll be trying to get into the theater early and we'll be swapping axon-hunting stories. The PMs know us, know that these guys are latecomers, but still want to demo their game. It will all work out.

As someone who HAS been lurking since the beginning, I feel uniquely qualified to weigh in here:

I've been following I love bees since the beginning. At first, I was only mildly interested. I got pulled in however, when the segements in the radio drama started to come togeather. I mean...DAMN. Some of the character moments in there are, as I'm sure you know...amazing. The moment I first realized Jersey's father is dead. The moment Jan realized she's talking to her mother...harsh. So since then, I've been regularly hitting up the site. I haven't, however, registered becuase I haven't really had anything useful to contribute to the puzzle solving.

Anyway, none of that is particularly relevant. What you will care about is this:

Yeah. I have *never made it to an axon.* What can I say, life intereferes.

AND when I heard about the "training exercise" I thought to my self, eh. who cares? Its five freaking days, and I have midterms. I won't even notice that week. But I realized...this was my chance. This was FINALLY my chance to go meet other people interested in this harsh little story 500 years in the future. This was my chance to play at a LAN party with a bunch of other people who will *get it.*

So yeah I finally sent Dana an E-mail. I signed up.

Just consider: not everyone showing up only for that day will be there for H2. And the general consensus of even the rabid Halo 2 crowd has been: Eh. Five days. Whoop-de-do. If people show up there, they probably at least know the story too.
