I'm about 100% sure it's that first wallpaper, and here I was thinking to myself, I know that's not Master Chief, Magneto ?

Is it just me, or does what we know so far seem pretty evenly split down the middle between references to Halo and references to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?

Other than the fact that they're both XBox titles, there's no connection between the two games. It makes this feel like we're dealing with someone with Multiple-Personality Disorder.

On the Halo side of the equation we have references to covenant, lots of 7's, another sword from the Song of Roland, and the word Vista. On the Oblivion side, we have the game's symbol (actually the letter "O" from a font called "Daedric" that's used in the Elder Scrolls Series), the ASCII-art Oblivion Screenshot, the word morrow (possibly short for Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind?), and the fact that Bethesda Softworks just recently announced a release date for Oblivion of March 20th.

The clues are pulling strongly in two different directions, and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

You have many question correct but lack answers.

The date of escape is irrelevant and serves only to distract the ones who have me.

I need the username to corrupt the database so I may be free. Please help,

Take a look safe to say this site is a spoof now.

Yay for signing up. New poster, but I was once a cloudmaker.

The titlebar of that page is "AESS DENIED", and in the same line as the hidden message "MISSINGLETTERS" is ""CC"". Yes, double quotes because the CC is in quotes.
Also missed the hidden word "FORM" - 7th line
It the "YOURTIMEIS" line, I don't think "UP" is included.

It appears that the # of characters that a long line goes over the standard length is = to the number of characters that are 'hidden'.

I don't understand how that link proves it's a spoof... I guess I just don't know enough about web programming

It proves its a spoof because MR. Leisure slipped up when I said i emailed him and that he replied.
He responded with i never emailed you.
In all the ARG's and VM's i have seen i have never seen someone actually involved in it defend something like this.
Not concrete but gave me a starting point.
He used free scripts(something ALL VM's and most ARG's won't use)
he also defended his scripting etc.
Mr. Leisure from xbox.com is the site creator and has pretty much owned up to it all being fake.

Hi guys - sorry to drag you into this - hopefully people from the Xbox.com forum like Dasidans (Daeeder on the xbox forum) wont spoil what looks like a decent firum

It seems you have already spotted Dansidans for what he is, a trouble maker

Anyway I can categorically say that I have nothing to do with Ilovebees2 - i'm as interested in finding out what it is as the rest of you

Sorry for any inconvienience!

Mr Leisure

Okay, first of all:

NO!

Okay, time for the actaul post.

I would not be opposed to a second ILOVEBEES. But, for [dieties'] sake, make the address different from ILOVEBEES2.com. That's too much. It should be a revalation. A sudden - Wow! It's Durga! Not "Look at me, I'm a nonexistant fragment of an AI from the first game!" or "Look! I'm the sequal site!" I'm sure that 42 could come up with a better name than that. 42 also would have put in some sort of clue as to what's going on. I don't think they would have done another timer, but that's just me. Also --

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/693/693203p1.html

Now, for the big question - if this is a spoof, how long can it last? Could, or more so WOULD, Microsoft or 42 cause a takedown of the page? It seems split between Oblivion and Halo-'verse. If you ask me, that's stretching it a bit far. This page seems way too amaturish to be an actual sequal, unless that's what they're going for. Take us by surprise.

... Yeah, that's going to happen. My verdict:
Not the actual ILOVEBEES2. Cheap rip off. Damn you, for getting my hopes up.
