And to boot, most everything I predicted turned out right, even when I got flamed for it.

I'm not trying to cause trouble, but this is about the third time you've attempted to pat yourself on the back within the last few days:

My gut ain't been wrong yet, when it comes to ILB.

I agree. Of course, I got into flamewars over it. But its good to know that, given enough time, Scumbag tends to be right Wink

In this thread -- which may be the one in which the "flaming" to which you refer occurred -- you said:

Plus the die-hard ARGers are right... there hasn't been much roleplay yet. Another two months or so would really give some time for real interactivity after Melissa has built her voice.

Confused

Roleplay? Its a Bungie Puzzle, for Vivec's sake.

Don't you get it? The puzzle ends when, or before, the game hits the shelves. I don't expect much after August 24th, because the countdown is the game. The entire game is "figure out what is going to happen on the 24th before it happens"

Will ILB go 404 on the 24th? Nope. Do I expect it to wrap up fairly quickly, considering the whole point of the Puzzle was discovering what the countdown was counting down to? Yup. On the "August 24th" of a previous Puzzle, Enkidu decided to flee, rather than cause harm to his human allies.

Post 24th, ILB will act like this. Wrap-up. Well done wrap up that doesn't answer all the questions we might have, but a wrap-up nonetheless.

We'll spend the next couple months figuring out what the hell just happened. ARG people might get bored since it'll be nothing more than analysing existing information instead of getting new information... but in the end, ILB will be what it was always going to be.

So it seems to me that your gut has been wrong -- and substantially wrong -- at least once. (Of course, I've been substantially wrong approximately 722 times in this ARG alone, so if we're keeping score...Oh, just ignore me. I'm probably still in a foul mood from yesterday.)

P.S. After I watched "Jurassic Bark" I cried for two days.

Yeah, I didnt give myself enough wiggle room on the "my gut aint been wrong" statement. And the whole 24th thing... yeah, I whiffed on that one. Stopping the puzzle at the 24th would have caused a great drop in consumer awareness.

Regardless of who was right or wrong, it was sure fun. You know Bungie's puzzles are good when even the arguments about it are fun.

 		[OT] Xbox Live GamerTags -- Post them here
So that we can all see who is talking smack and who is laying it down on November 9th, post your gamertags here and invite other Ilovebees people to your games. Let's continue our online community on into Halo 2.
You'll never run out of people to play with... cause playing with yourself doesn't count. Shocked

Xbox Live Gamertag: Grifter7 (big surprise right??)
