So far I thought we only had the bunny tree countdown? Everything else has been proven to be fake, right? So do we even know if this is a game or did I miss something?

I made that comment before learning about all the drama, chicanery and general weirdness. I hereby revoke it. I am no longer even sure it's a game.

I think it may just be a site with a countdown.

Um, I know you said focus on origenxbox360.org ...but this seems to include it.

Anybody notice that all three have to do with nature?

Ants, Bees, Rabbits, Tree

Well, I did a search in google for Ants and Bees.

Aparently both are in the Hymenoptera family.

Than I search Hymenoptera and Rabbits.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=5109837&dopt=Abstract
http://www.wbrc.org.uk/WorcRecd/Issue9/hymen.htm

Anyway, I find it a bit too much of a considence that all three all related. How much you want to bet the next thing will involve Wasps.

Anyway, I'm too lazy to continue on with that...but I just found it a bit odd that they are related. Maybe its concidence. Rolling Eyes

------------------
And the unrelated thing

Anyone look at the source for ourcolony lately?

I didn't notice this before...it says... "You are the source, create"[/b]

Yes it is a marketing game .. But so was A.I. and I Love Bees



This is another clue that origenxbox360.com is a game not an ARG


Kristen Rutherford posted some images of shirts in her live journal that were supposedly related to the next 4orty 2wo game, as you can see in this thread.
It seems possible that it's related. I hope this isn't trout; I searched and read through the thread and didn't find anything.

The image has changed. There is a new set of "fruit." The piece on the left has another deliberate chunk missing from it.

I'm working on figuring out what that might be.

Still... until someone does figure out if that chunk represents anything, we are still stymied.

This is not 4ourty2wo, and for that matter I don't see anything missing from either groups of fruit. I see a leaf with a right facing profile on the top set of fruit, and the bottom set has a leaf facing us pointing down and to the left.

Edit: Back to the four fruit and two rabbits pointing to fourty two, a little more to add to my theroy. The stem that this new set of fruit is attached to was in the image just before this one, as was the stem just two the left of it has been there since I think two images ago, which leads me to think that we can expect, maybe 2 more fruit and one more rabiit for a total of 3 rabbits and 6 fruit, plus the hole makes zero maybe.... 3-6-0

If this is just going to be a waiting game (as opposed to an interactive game) from week to week then MS shouldnt have wasted their money. Any community buzz this may have generated is quickly being replaced by boredom and indffierence.

I got it to appear by clicking the JPG. What I meant was that I couldn't get the second bunny to appear on the main page and I thought I was missing something... guess not.
