good on you for trying to tackle this. however, i'm not sure that your statement above is a known fact. we have speculated that whatever this is may be a halo tie-in, but as far as i know (and i admit i haven't read the huge number of posts made since i visited the site yesterday) there isn't definitive proof of this.

to me the ilovebees on the halo trailer might just as possibly be attempting to drum up involvement in the ilovebees ARG as vice versa. it may never tie into halo or halo 2 in any in-game way.

just my 2c

 		Well, even if it isn't the purpose, it's somehow managed to incide crazy (and often-confused) Halo discussions across the face of the internet, so it seems to be serving that purpose quite well.

 		WTF
My eyes hurt looking at all that garbled mess. I dont however see any link between Halo 2 and this website. I think someone found this website @ bungie and thought it might be funny to put it up as a link on Bungie.com. Other than that its just crap with dumb pictures.

 		Hi.

If you'd like to take a moment to do a search online for the Halo2 trailer that has been released, you might see at the end that www.xbox.com switches to www.ilovebees.com

But i'm sure that's just a typo.

 		I personally would like to know why you thought something that came from an INGAME website (which is already repeated multiple times on this forum) belonged in a thread entitled META and had nothing to do with your post.

HMMMM?

Thank you for not randomly posting unrelated things to whichever thread is at the top of your screen. Logic is not optional.

It's getting dumber, isn't it? The more people who join, the lower the average IQ here.

And anyhow - the Halo link has been confirmed in this update, with constant references to a an ONI Ships AI.

The Office of Naval Intelligence and it's 'smart' AI's were a key element of the Halo novels.

So yes, this is confirmed linked to Halo. We've also moved away from the obvious 'Single player demo release' gibberish, thank god.

 		[TROUT] source code
I was looking through the pages on ilovebees.com and got an idea to look at the source code....this is what I found on the facts about bees page...if anyone has the time to check the other pages you might find more "Survival Keys"



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.

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.

I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO-

-no.

never that.

survive evade reveal escape. That is all you know, or need to know.

 		Oh good grief.

I'm going to update this letter with the new info (definitely Bungie related etc). I'll add a note that this thread is NOT the place to post "new info" and to search before posting...

 		It's halo related alright.


From the site :



"ONI tech Kowalski."

Kowalski is an important character from 'HALO : First Strike'.


"seraph"

Is the covenant single heavy space fighter class.

That's great. But did you look to see if we already knew that? Did you read the title of the thread that you were posting to and see if what you were about to type was relevant at all to the thread? Rolling Eyes
