First off, the guy can't spell.
Secondly, this was posted on Thursday and claimed there would be no more updates, and there was a significant one today.
More to chew on: If the guy truly worked for Bungie, don't you think he would get fired for squealing?

Okay, firstly Duster (the poster of the Halomods entry) doesn't have much of a track record there:

Join date is a mere 26 minutes before the posting.
Secondly, it's been long known here that UnrippedZues is not an in-game character; after all, the ILB guys know how to spell "Zeus".
Thirdly, UZ does a crap-tastic job of explaining how he doctored a movie trailer to insert a link towards the site.
Fourthly, if this was supposed to be funny, it wasn't.
-- Steve knows that, if timing is everything in comedy, "Honk3y" needs a new watch.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, they did the Cortana Letters for the first Halo release, so it's not like they've never done an ARG before.
Now, bring me back my Princess!

the guy that is supposedly in on what he calls the "ilb hoax" is saying that there werent any phone calls made to coordinates and that nothing has been going on with ilb. did i hear that wrong or does it just sound like a sack full of garbage and lies.

um so what "old hebrew mapping system" is he trying to convince us existed? is this something other than ink on a bit of goat skin? im sure that translates eaisly into a set of gps cords for the bungie headquarters.

CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: y did u post ur ilb garbage on a halo mod site
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: you apparently know nothing about ilb do you
C146W: I just had a conversation with the guy and posted it, I wasn't aware at the time that many people think/know hes fake
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: so why would u post a fake conversation on a halomodz site
C146W: it wasn't fake, at least not to me
C146W: I posted in good faith, the conversation did happen
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: but it was just full of garbage and fake lies
C146W: it wasn't lies to me at the time, and I'm not sure it is, even at this point
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: cmon now u didnt have the common since to go to www.ilovebees.com and see that the game has been running in full since the halo 2 trailer was released
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: theres proof on the site that phone calls have been made and all over unfiction forums that game is happening
C146W: I guess I don;t have any common "since"
C146W: *don't
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: you wouldnt write a paper on rocket science would you without doing your research
C146W: no, but this sin't rocket science, it's a little thing cooked up for the interest of the people and many are taking it as a personal offense when I just posted a conversation
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: remember this convo for the rest of your life and if you do your research then you wont be bothered by people when you put the right info up
CAUSEIMHOODRICH2: OK DAN RATHERS

From the netninja wiki, a long time ago...
Quote:
According to a post on the bungie.net forums, the ladybee777SPLAT hotmail.com MSN profile contains information about an nickname called "UnrippedZues7". When added to your AIM buddy list, this user would put up cryptic away messages such as "wheras once i was blind, now i can see" and "the riddle ends here".
This user is in no way connected with the game. The profile from which the username comes is not ladybee777SPLAT hotmail.com (in fact there is no MSN profile associated with this e-mail address), but an out-of-game e-mail address honey777SPLAT hotmail.com. This is nothing more than another user who is just trying to create confusion by posing as an in-game character.
Also, note the misspelling of "Zeus" in the name.
Besides, what kind of PM would boast about... being the PM?

Yeah, this has 'fake' written all over. What really gave it away was the axons, though.
I REALLY doubt it spells out the location of the website in Hebrew. And I believe that people have been answering axons because, well, they ARE.
Nice try 'Zues'.

if you look at the GPS
coordinates and use the old herbew system of mapping, they are the coordintes to the bugine website
Gosh, I didn't know the ancient Hebrews had GPSs. Resourceful people, them.
Hey! If you do a Google search for "bungine," you get this website. Could this be in-game?
Our very dear friend wrote:
C146W: there were a few sites up claiming that payphones were at those coordinates, and they would ring at specific times and give out clues to help figure out the whole thing
unrippedzues7: we fixed it in a matter of seconds.
"Matter of seconds," alright. Next!
