Alright, any post with the Bee Girl deserves a sticky, right?

LOL! Dang, I haven't read that in years. (And I sorely miss the radio play. Or at least the TV serialisation.)

I don't know about the sticky, but well played reference. However, I'm also a HUGE Wargames fan, so kudos to BoonIsha too!
I say we get to the points and it's actually a recruitment for Survivor: Sing-Sing

Oh if only some of these weren't so plausible...
*whimper*
I guess I'm glad I'm in the UK in a way, after reading these.

This is actually a semi-serious thought for what could be there. I dare not post in any other topic that something could actually be AT the coordinates.
I would be attacked with,
"OMG, how STUPID can you be to actually believe that anything would happen at the coordinates? There's no feasible way that the PM's could pull something off like that, unless Micro$oft bribed everyone!!!!!?!?!?!?!"
An idea I had is that the game will probably continue, but maybe there will be a novel of the events that lead up to Master Chief returning to Earth. The Halo: The Fall of Reach novel came out before Halo came out for X-Box, so maybe they will do the same for this. Just an idea.
edit-I don't normally use the Micro$oft joke. Usually used by people who are jealous of others success. Felt it was necessary in this situation.

What do I think will be at the coordinates? Three words:
Covenant Women. Many of them. Lots and Lots of them.
That's not three words, dude!
HEY! Inner Monologue, stop interrupting me!
Dude!
DOOOD!
DUDE!
Well, it's not three words, that's all...
Fine, but-
Um...yeah... marines... that'd be, er... cool, right? I'm going now.

1) If they look anything like the other Covenant we've seen... um... no thanks.
2) I hope not - my girlfriend, who's accompanying me to the first coord, wouldn't appreciate it.

I don't think covenant women are likely to be at the coords.
I will go with the dancing robots.
