But in my opinion - it's not. I don't think YX455's blog is part of the game.

If the blog's OOG, then someone had to have hacked into YX's AIM account -- Remember, that's where we found the blog in the first place, in his profile (AND away message).

EDIT: Oookay, so it (AND YX455) is out of game, apparently. Damn.


Whoa! This is really back?

Anyways, I'm a bit conflicted about what to think. If that picture is real, then Luminoth Temple is OOG. And that would explain why nobody has gotten a response yet, perhaps the powers that be in charge of validating applications no longer are interested in having new members at a forum that was really just an alternative to the official forums.

But as has been said, YX's blog must be a part of this, as it was linked to from his AIM profile, and I doubt that YX has been hacked on AIM. However, I could see it as being possible that YX was hacked on AIM almost immediately after Channel 51 started, as that would explain the change from YX to KA on the site.

Another thing to note, Luminoth Temple was linked to from Orbis Labs, using the secret discovered in Samantha Manus' final post to Channel 51. And we know for sure that Orbis and Channel 51 are in game. This means that, although Luminoth Temple was originally just an alternative forum created for use by Nintendo, it may now be part of the game, but wasn't originally part of it, just to lead us astray. That, and the fact that it was registered to Tony Novak, makes me think that it could possibly be in game. But then again, all the ilove[rhymes with bees].com pages were registered to Novak as well, and they had nothing to do with the game (as far as we know).

And I am also wondering about Nintendo of America posting on YX's blog, especially since the name links to Luminoth Temple. Did we know about Luminoth Temple before NoA started posting? If so, then it is probably just some random troll leading us astray. But there is one thing that seems important to me: IIRC, YX's only direct and clear response is to NoA, which might mean that NoA is the powers that be of which he spoke back in the day.

Well, I think we need to hear from KA again before we can be certain of anything. Has anyone spoken with him lately, or checked to see if he has a blog similar to YX's?

Other loose ends:
The Orbis test videos, although I doubt they will ever be revealed or are even important.
What became of Sam?
Where is Mackenzie King's new "more obscure" blog? Is it YX's, or something else?
What is up with the Drake Equation?
And finally: Why the hell is 3 so damn important?

 		Two things:

1. "Welcome to Luminoth Temple!"
2. "YX455 is actually an imposter, folks. Before we had a chance to register the AOL username, that jerk took it and started acting like he was part of the Metroid promotion. " - Luminoth Temple admin

 		So you're saying that it really is over, then?

I figured as much...

You shouldn't believe Machina Kyrios either, he's just playing with us.


That I am. ^_^

Playing is a good choice of words, mate. Everything I said was "in character" as a Seeker. But now, game over. The shroud is cast off.

Really, every bit of progress we made in the false-revival was directed by the players, so far as I know.

Sure, it was all pointless. No harm, though. It was an entertaining exercise in abstract reasoning.


The loose ends still might nag at some people, but...

It's likely, ICly, that Samantha Manus and Mackenzie King were eliminated for knowing too much. Damage control when information that high powers don't want leaked gets out is quite expensive and dangerous. By comparison, assassinations are reletively cheap and easy.

 		So thats the guy who was stringing us along the whole time.....

So then I guess there is no chance of a continuattion of this for Metroid Prime : Hunters ? (at least I think it is a Prime game...)

 		No, looks like this was a once-off thing. You never know, they could do something similar in the future if nobody's talking about a 'big Christmas release'...
