My guess isthat it will just be to share the final soundclips to us all. Well, those of us not going to Chicago/San Fran/you get the picture. I'd be willing to guess that this is their way of a\sharing the sound clips with you guys, but I think they will probably get unlocked anyways, but we'll see tomorrow. Actually I just noticed that they have sectioned them off for the clips, and we only need 2/10 for each of them, and at least 2 are personal calls in each section, so hopefully we'll get them all.

LOL, the only one we got in colorado was colorado springs (and my cell phone) and yet all the sound clips went active. I guess this means it doesn't really matter if colorado plays or not. Do we get a combat training exercise? Noooooo... because we just don't count! Just joking btw. I'm really grateful to have had this opportunity to play with all you folks. This will bee something to remember and talk about for years to come. Heh, now that this thing is finally winding down, I wonder what I'll do with all my free time. No more puzzles to solve. No more ditching classes to answer payphones. *sigh* Morgul is probably in Chicago by now, or very close at least. I don't remember exactly when his plane was supposed to leave. Hopefully he remembered his camera so he can take lots of pics for all to see!! Well, time for me to go home now so I can listen to all the new clips.

Well, I'm back (finally). Actually I was gone less than 20 hours, lol. Anyways, here's my report of what happened:
We (Guard1an and I, we drove together from the airport) arrived at the theater around 6:35-6:40, and went to the front desk where you buy tix. They gave us our lanyards, and we went upstairs. There was a huge line to get in, and they didn't even start letting us in till 7:20. Eventually we got to the front, and they checked our ID's, checked to make sure we were crewmembers, and all that stuff. Then they gave us our DVD's and a raffle ticket. The DVD (I havent checked it all out, but I've browsed it a little bit, and it's pretty neat. It has all 11 chapters, plus a farewell msg, credits including designers, voice actors, etc, and creation stuff. It includes things like images we sent, unused scenes, audio progression, and the widow's journal.) is pretty cool, I can't wait till I have time to listen to everything. The raffle ticket was how they were going to decide who would play. Which sort of sucked, cause it meant everyone who just showed up for Halo 2 and weren't beekeepers got to play and we didn't. Anyways, we finally started around 8:15, and the XBox rep got up and said some stuff about why ILB, and the ARG in general. Plus he gave stats on ILB, like how many ppl participated, etc.Then we started playing. They had 5 tv's set up near the front, 4 were linked to eachother, and the 5th was displayed on the bigscreen, and it was linked via xbox live to the other cities. So basically there were 2 matches continually. They did this for a while, but neither Guard1an or I got to play. Then about half way they raffled off some prize packages. They contained Halo 2, xbox live starter kit, and a halo 2 xbox live communicator. All together it was about $180 prize. They gave out 5 of them, but again, neither of us got anything. The really annoying thing was that a kid got one (he was allowed cause his guardians were there. We were bitter about that.). I don't think any actual beekeepers got the packages, they were only random ppl who came for halo 2. Anyways, then we started playing Halo 2 again. W didn't get to play, once again. Then near the end, Guard1an and I decided to go and ask if we could play, since we came from so far away (he came from Kansas City, I came from Denver-I actually came further than anyone else there). He said ok, and he marked our names on the list. So then the next round, they called a few ppl who came from out of state. Guard1an was one of them, but he didn't call my name! I was so mad!! But then afterwards, I went up and talked to the guy who was in charge (the fore-mentioned xbox rep). Actually the person who talked to him right before me said it was his birthday, so they gave him a free xbox halo 2 communicator. I said, since I came so far and didn't get to play at all, is there anything he could do. So he gave me a free communicator also!! I was so happy! He said it was a $50 headset, and it looks awesome! Here's the link to it. So anyways, then we left, and most of the actual ARGers went to Denny's to talk. We also invited the xbox rep, and he said he might come. So we went, and talked for a while, and then the xbox rep came. We talked to him a lot about ILB, and Halo 2. He wouldn't tell any story at all (well, we got a few minor things out of him). He said basically what kind of stuff is in it, such as stats after each campaign level (which there aren't, but there are great stats after each multiplayer battle, such as kills, shots fired, accuracy, etc). Basically, the game is gonna be freakin awesome, I cant' wait. After a few hours of talking, we all left. I went to a hotel and slept for like an hour and a half, then got up for my flight! So now, I'm really tired. And I'm gonna go to bed Coffee

Or maybe just coffee Very Happy

Well, that's about all I remember, if you have any questions, post here and I'll try to answer it. And I have some pics also, but I'm really tired and don't know where the cable is to send em to the pc, so I'll do that later.

Alas, the game has come to an end. It is sad because the story is also over. At the same time it is a joyful time because if a story did not end, it could not be hailed as great. 4 more days till halo2. I'll have to bear the wait, but it will be tough. All of you guys KIT. We'll have to meet up at least on LIVE, but hopefully in person as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention. In our conversation with the XBox rep (his name is Chuck I found out), he said that we should check out www.halo2.com on saturday, apparently it is being updated then. We'll see, I guess. Oh, and he said that there aren't any easter-eggs for ILB in Halo 2. I was hoping for a billboard or something that said "ilovebees" on it, and when I see that with non-beekeeper friends, and I start to cry, then they would think I'm crazy.... but alas, I will have to find another way to prove my lack of sanity. That is, if flying half way across the country to play Halo 2 wasn't proof enough.

Lol, I set up XBox live like yesterday, that's pretty funny. Looks like their advertising worked, crystal got an xbox, drseuss and I got XBox live. Anyways, my name on it is l0rd0fm0rgul also, but I will probably only play Halo 2 on it. I tried a game of NHL 2K5 but got creamed pretty bad by some guy in Toronto. Anyways, I'll add you to my friends list if I can figure out how, and hopefully I'll see you on XBox LIVE!

We had about 17 or 18 people. It was a lot of fun, but we had some problems with idiots who couldn't seem to join the right team. That was sort of frustrating, but other than that it wasn't too bad. Ya, cedmond, we'll have to get together on LIVE soon. My name is l0rd0fm0rgul there also. I added drseuss, but I don't know your name cedmond (unless it's cedmond, lol). I don't get to play a lot cause I have to bring my xbox all the way downstairs to the bigscreen and my parents don't like me to have it there. I will probably get on on thursday during the day, and maybe tomorrow as well, we'll see.
