'roll up the rim to win' is a well known Tim Horton's slogan for their recurring coffe cup promotion... not sure if other company's have used it, but I'm guessing it's not got anything to do with Tim Horton's

At best IMO it might that something's hidden along the rim in the image? But its value might just be in the title as a pun itself, and there's really nothing in the image. *shrug*

I don't think we have to stop SOTA from firing the Halos.
Rather I think we have to stop them from finding the ARK; because if they find it now, the story line for Halo would be altered as humanity would have already know about the ARK (though maybe not by that name) for ~500 years. Nonetheless, after the first Forerunner structures were found, they would have started connecting the structures to the Ark on Earth.

Also as far as the glyph being the background on the Transmission log, I suggested that a while back, but no one seemed to try my suggestion (and I suck at photo manipulation, so my attempt was a disaster.)

a comment was made on that blog post by a myspace user named "cortana". she lives in Marathon (!!!) Greece.

her myspace page first said, "keeper of the flame" then said "only the beginning."

Either in game.. or a player/lurker.

It is encoded text, in base 64. If decoded, it matches the text on that page, more or less. I noticed this with the last two versions of the Transmission Log.

The decoder I used is at :

If you take everything that is inside the quotation marks there, it will output something like this:

The one thing that has been consistent between the three is that number: -160364543. It probably is still server-type jibberish though.

Hey everyone. Just another lurker from ILB coming back.

I thought I'd look into the books mentioned on the SOTA site since I vaguely remembered them being sold on TV..

This Cortana character is either way OOG or obscenely and obscurely hinting to us.

She said the lake looks very familiar to her, as if she'd seen it in a game recently, and even though I've played halo 2 through only once, I did go back to do easter eggs.

That lake is in directly resembles that lake near the Delta Halo level. The one with the secret easter egg floating button wayyyyyy out in the lake.

As for hidden dealies in the image, there has to be SOMETHING there, and I'mma go scan it a bit.

**EDIT** What are those oddly looking white splotches along the right side of the water-meets-land rim?

[froschkonig]

i think the white splotches are just snow/ ice that were still around from the winter when the picture was taken.
