 		[O/T] Could the beekeepers be acknowledged in Halo2?
Probably wishful thinking, but I thought it would be awesome if the PMs could have a list of active beekeepers email addresses or nicknames in the credits for Halo2. If they had a cutoff date of Aug. 24 to enter these props into the final credits, I bet it could make a nov. 9th release.

I only mention it because the AI - ARG (The Beast) had props given to the Cloudmakers by including their email addresses in the movie posters.

I'm sure the PMs will commemorate this adventure in some special way for us. Very Happy

 		I hope I'm not one of those marines who inevitably all die five minutes into battle.

(seriously though, if "Cherry Cotton" ends up in Halo 2, I'm buying ten billion copies...)

Really? I thought the posters were what sparked the Beast, not that they post-dated it!

Still, I think it's probably too late for an in-game reference (though some passing reference to bees would have us all groaning) but there are still manuals and things to go..

 		While I don't think we'll be in the credits or something, it's always possible. I would not be disappointed with a beekeepers reference though! And I do actually think that there's enough time to put specific or generic names in the credits... those are the last thing to get done on something like this, and they've got over two months to produce and ship. You figure two weeks for shipping stuff, and one month for producing these games, (and that's still a little long), and you gotta figure that they've still got more than enough time after the 24th to get a list of names in the credits... (I know, I'm just hoping... Cool )

But to Cherry Cotton, I'll be more than willing to be a marine that dies in the beginning! (Private Dorkmaster reporting for duty, SIR!)

Just for points of clarification:

  • It wasn't all of the Cloudmakers, or people who registered on the Cloudmaker yahoo group, that got onto the poster. The poster includes the names or nicknames of the individuals that supplied information within the scope of the game, iirc. Like, if you registered for information from a particular Beast site, your name (or handle) was recorded, and then printed on the poster. No email addresses.
  • The poster wasn't for the movie AI, but instead, for the AI game, which was later revealed to be called The Beast. These posters were handed out (again, iirc) at the movie premieres.


Still huge props though to the player base. Additions/Corrections to my claims are welcome.

P.S. You can see a larger-than-life segment of the poster in question at the Cloudmakers Moderated Yahoo group (provided you are a member) or here as long as I don't get in trouble for borrowing it. Very Happy

 		I plan to be Unrecognizable Dead Body #95.

That way I show my friends 'see, they put me in the game!' and they say 'but his head is blown off, how can you tell?' and I just tell them to trust me and they're just jealous of my coolness.
