this shiz is odd... I think the timer is a countdown till the release of the Halo 2 demo cause i dont see the game being released early... who knows i could be wrong. I dont realy care if i have to wait till Nov 9th to get the game, as long as its complete and glitch free... i would rather wait that 3 months to insure a GREAT game

In addition, we are going through all of our maps to try and finalize any outstanding game play elements, and are also deeply involved in polishing the art in the environments to a fine glossy sheen. One of our major goals in Halo 2 multiplayer is to have at least one or two of the new maps look as shiny as Butkuss car." |

I might see why Halo 2 is not being released on November 9th, simply because if it is actually done, then they have no actual reason to keep us from it.

Mark my words - they're not going to release Halo 2 early. Their launch date makes perfect sense, does "holiday shopping season" mean anything to you? If they do release anything, it will probably be more videos. I don't know about you, but I've had enough chips and salsa, I'm waiting for the whole enchilada.

First of all we all know that the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States is November 26... the day after Thanksgiving. It would make just as much sense to postpone the release to that day so that all the anxious mothers would pick up that newly realesed and freshly-hyped title for their beloved xbox owner for Christmas instead of the other titles merely because the day things come out they get all the publicity.
Also, most people I know first bought their xbox console because of the game halo. That really helped launch the console. Wouldn't it make sense to have a halo title launch with Xenon? Assuming that's part of the plan, then they could either postpone halo2 and spend the time finalizing the game and porting it to Xenon or they could finish it for xbox and take their 6 month break again and start development of halo 3 or whatever series they branch off into or something. At any rate I personally love the teasers and stuff like that... it makes it so much fun.

Quote JonR2000 "I figured my theories need to be canonized and posted somewhere where all can read. They get lost in the other topic, which, at this moment, has surpassed 300 pages.
If you haven't kept up-to-date with all of the stuff on www.ilovebees.com, this might confuse you. Hang in there.
The Flood and Varrao Mites
I'm sure you've all noticed a particular sound that plays as you access the page titled "the Hive". With some help, I've found out something interesting. That sound is the sound a queen bee makes. Not only that, but the queen bee only makes this sound when she is trapped. The sound is a call for her bees to come and protect her, and she only makes this noise when her life is in danger. Sound familiar? It should. It's the same general message relayed through the scattered texts around the site. Trapped...endangered...all alone...
Second, on the "honey" page, Aunt M. tells us she can't produce more honey at the moment due to an infection of "varrao mites". (Note: I have noticed alternate spellings of this mite. One is spelled 'varrao', the other 'varroa', although they appear to be the same mite.)
On further inspection, the mites seem to have some characteristics that ring a bell. They attach onto their chosen host and cause deformities, eventually resulting in death. Another effect of these destructive mites is "queenlessness". In other words, these mites cause the colony to be without a leader. This sounds like something we're familiar with, doesn't it? Think Captain Keyes and the Flood.
It has become clear that the varrao mites are an integral part of this puzzle. Whoever narrarates the texts throughout the site speaks often of an eight-legged creature. This creature steals the narrator's thoughts. The narrator then goes on to say he or she has become a monster. It's all in the texts.
I have come to believe that this eight-legged creature is none other than a Flood infection form. I also believe the infection form is too similar to the varrao mite to be purely coincidental. See for yourself. The similarities don't just stop with text. The varrao mite even looks like a Flood infection form. Don't believe me? Check it out:
http://www.uky.edu/A...truct/ef608.htm
Three Swords
From what I gather, there are three "swords" present in this evolving story. Each sword is harnessed by a different race and used to combat the Flood. The swords, while not literally being a sword in the Halo Universe, have historical ties.
Cortana is the first, and most obvious sword. The well-known AI is used by the humans as a weapon against the Flood. Not only this, but Cortana is the name of a literal sword, part of Charlemagne's tale. When the sword struck, it dealt a fatal blow.
There are two other swords present in Charlemagne's tale. We'll get to that soon enough.
The second sword is Dana, who you all know to be the creator of www.ilovebees.com . Her site, and her, in a way, are being harnessed by the Covenant. As I said, the varrao mites are key. These mites, a.k.a. the Flood, have affected the Covenant far worse than they have us. It is possible they have infected a Prophet. I'm not clear on all of this just yet, but it seems that Dana is a way for the Covenant to communicate their cries for help. They are in more danger than us Humans are.
In Charlemagne's tale, the second sword is named Durandal, which is a name I'm sure most of you are familiar with. Durandal is sometimes referred to as Durandana.
Cortana and Durandana are both AIs. I can only assume the third and final sword is also an AI.
Two swords, two races. We are left with one more.
I quickly gathered that the Forerunner were the final race. It seemed obvious enough that the Halos were the tools they used to combat the Flood. However, I then realized the "sword" itself has to be a single entity. Another AI would make sense.
Sticking with the story of Charlemagne, one final blade remains. Joyeuse, the sword which the King used himself, has to be the last sword in this puzzle. Harnessed by the Forerunner, Joyeuse is an AI related to the Halos, which they use in order to defeat the Flood.
Although the AI Joyeuse remains to be seen, I am considering the idea that it might be a higher AI than 343 Guilty Spark. Perhaps it is one that governs over the entire network of Halos. Whatever the role Joyeuse the AI plays, it is surely an important one."
Interesting Huh?

Nyway we need to be a bit more tidy with this.
Ok so we know that there is some messed up code. Going on and on about death ect. And we know that the code changes all the time. We know that someone is well good at taking pictures with a camera..... well they are but the site likes to chnage them somethimes. Reminds me of when i would nudge my sega megadrive and it would mess up.
I have to admit..... its a pritty nice egg.
Note to self: Dont get to paranoid (spelling), we may be jumping the gun. We may just be seeing things that are not realy there

In the theatrical trailer, during the multiplayer clips, the following messages are displayed.
"You killed Truth" - When first-person character kills other player
"Regret" - When first-person character has a flag bearer in his sights (Regret is the name of the flag bearer)
"Johnson killed Pity" - I guess when a battle has just ended between two other players that aren't on the screen.
TRUTH, REGRET, PITY....
...hmmmm

Also, for a small time site, ilovebees sure seems to be handling all of the extra load from people hitting that site. Seems as though it would've crashed by now or something.
Think it is a coincidence that the Covenant(?) are swarming in that clip (around MC) in those new little ships? Kinda like a swarm of bees. Am I reaching too far here?

I have read on "Aunt M's Blog" that ilovebees.com was regitered last month and is being hosted on a very expensive, high traffic, hosting service. I cannot remember the name of the host, but they were prepared for the traffic. This was Bungie's doing. Anyone who still doubts that needs to do a bit more research for themelves.
Remember the Cortana letters??

so anyway, the ilovebees.com website and the movie trailer and everything related happen to be a part of an ARG which I just found out is an alternate reality game. In other words, its like that movie "the game" where once you start to research you find more and more clues leading up to the final climactic ending. It was done before with the movie AI and the game carried on for a really long time and all sorts of people got involved blah blah blah and the they found out that it was all just a game. The cool thing, is that if you are deeply involved, your actions will change the outcome of the fictional characters in the game, or even the ending. So I'm guessing that bungee created this game as a fun way to give those who are connected a way to know that halo 2 is coming out on august 24th. You gotta give it to them, this is one of the best publicity stunts ever.

I figured my theories need to be canonized and posted somewhere where all can read. They get lost in the other topic, which, at this moment, has surpassed 300 pages.
If you haven't kept up-to-date with all of the stuff on www.ilovebees.com, this might confuse you. Hang in there.
The Flood and Varrao Mites
I'm sure you've all noticed a particular sound that plays as you access the page titled "the Hive". With some help, I've found out something interesting. That sound is the sound a queen bee makes. Not only that, but the queen bee only makes this sound when she is trapped. The sound is a call for her bees to come and protect her, and she only makes this noise when her life is in danger. Sound familiar? It should. It's the same general message relayed through the scattered texts around the site. Trapped...endangered...all alone...
Second, on the "honey" page, Aunt M. tells us she can't produce more honey at the moment due to an infection of "varrao mites". (Note: I have noticed alternate spellings of this mite. One is spelled 'varrao', the other 'varroa', although they appear to be the same mite.)
On further inspection, the mites seem to have some characteristics that ring a bell. They attach onto their chosen host and cause deformities, eventually resulting in death. Another effect of these destructive mites is "queenlessness". In other words, these mites cause the colony to be without a leader. This sounds like something we're familiar with, doesn't it? Think Captain Keyes and the Flood.
It has become clear that the varrao mites are an integral part of this puzzle. Whoever narrarates the texts throughout the site speaks often of an eight-legged creature. This creature steals the narrator's thoughts. The narrator then goes on to say he or she has become a monster. It's all in the texts.
I have come to believe that this eight-legged creature is none other than a Flood infection form. I also believe the infection form is too similar to the varrao mite to be purely coincidental. See for yourself. The similarities don't just stop with text. The varrao mite even looks like a Flood infection form. Don't believe me? Check it out:
http://www.uky.edu/A...truct/ef608.htm
Three Swords
From what I gather, there are three "swords" present in this evolving story. Each sword is harnessed by a different race and used to combat the Flood. The swords, while not literally being a sword in the Halo Universe, have historical ties.
Cortana is the first, and most obvious sword. The well-known AI is used by the humans as a weapon against the Flood. Not only this, but Cortana is the name of a literal sword, part of Charlemagne's tale. When the sword struck, it dealt a fatal blow.
There are two other swords present in Charlemagne's tale. We'll get to that soon enough.
The second sword is Dana, who you all know to be the creator of www.ilovebees.com . Her site, and her, in a way, are being harnessed by the Covenant. As I said, the varrao mites are key. These mites, a.k.a. the Flood, have affected the Covenant far worse than they have us. It is possible they have infected a Prophet. I'm not clear on all of this just yet, but it seems that Dana is a way for the Covenant to communicate their cries for help. They are in more danger than us Humans are.
In Charlemagne's tale, the second sword is named Durandal, which is a name I'm sure most of you are familiar with. Durandal is sometimes referred to as Durandana.
Cortana and Durandana are both AIs. I can only assume the third and final sword is also an AI.
Two swords, two races. We are left with one more.
I quickly gathered that the Forerunner were the final race. It seemed obvious enough that the Halos were the tools they used to combat the Flood. However, I then realized the "sword" itself has to be a single entity. Another AI would make sense.
Sticking with the story of Charlemagne, one final blade remains. Joyeuse, the sword which the King used himself, has to be the last sword in this puzzle. Harnessed by the Forerunner, Joyeuse is an AI related to the Halos, which they use in order to defeat the Flood.
Although the AI Joyeuse remains to be seen, I am considering the idea that it might be a higher AI than 343 Guilty Spark. Perhaps it is one that governs over the entire network of Halos. Whatever the role Joyeuse the AI plays, it is surely an important one.

Well that's it. Thanks for reading, and if you think you know something that could add to my theory, please share. Even if you have some evidence that disproves it, you are welcome to share that.

another interesting post
Aight here is the answer to the bee's riddle...dont read forward if u want to solve it yourself...
My translation from = http://www.ilovebees.com/comatas.html
A little translation on the myth comatas...
Comatas was an Italian shepherd most dedicated to the Muses. He frequently sacrificed his master's sheep to them in tribute. When the master discovered that Comatas was sacrificing his sheep to the Muses he locked Comatas in a caedar sarcophagus, and off-handedly said that since he was do dedicated to the Muses they would no doubt save him from death. Three months after the sarcophagus was sealed it was re-opened, and, much to the master's surprise, the Muses had indeed saved Comatas. They had been sending bees into the sarcophagus to give him food and water enough to live.
My translation.
The nine muses = halo players..
met on mt olympus surrounded by the bee's = met on a slope surrounded by vehicles...
one day a goat herd glimpesd them dancing..and caught up in a wave of awe = saw them near base and sent out one of his spartan's.
the muses took pity comatas and sent there bee's to carry hunny to them through a crack in the chest..when the chest was fully opened he emerged in perfect health = they sent vehicles toattack the base and broke thru a spot in the defence...they killed every1 and some1 brokle away in a vehicle with the prized flag...ie honey..
Halo 2 was suppposed to come out on the 9th of November (9/11/04)
9 + 11 + 04 = 24
you played Halo's single player?
did you check the email of the person who 'supposedly' runs ilovebees.com?
its [email protected]
7 x 7 x 7 = 343
343 Guilty Spark
http://www.argn.com
you see how the first news post starts off with
'it looks like ilovebees.com (aka SPiDeR)
and see how the letters SPDR are in caps?
well look to the left underneath 'IN PLAY'
you see...SPiDeR (Halo 2) ?
ie. Single ( S ) Player ( P ) Demo ( D ) Release ( R ) ie (Halo 2)
But halo 2 cant be released as a demo......it has an ESRB rating so its completed....and in the faq they have sworn not to release a demo.....
on the countdown it says in 3 days network throttling will erode.
3 days time there is as ms conference
IMO i think halo 2 will be released early...they have put it back so many times...and they have completed the game...why get it rated and complete and hold it 3 months to release?!?!
Either that or in the MS meeting they will be discussing a halo 2 pc version. they can afford it lol..i dont care what happens but post what u think and hints...eetc in this thread and keep it alive.
Hope this has passed those crossroads for y'all.

| If the site was mentioned in the official trailer, you had better believe this is a marketing stunt, and a big one too. So, where do we go from here? Has anyone tried logging in to [email protected] to check for messages? It gives an error message about too many failed login attempts, but it is possible to make some progress using the change password dialog with information about Margaret gleaned from the ILOVEBEES website and the shipping information from the honey that was shipped out to certian individuals a while back. The reset password dialog -- page one, asks for Country (USA), State (California) and zip code. The zip code that the honey that was UPS'ed originates from (94114) allows access to page 2 of the change password dialog. No other zip code works, no other state works. Page 2 of the change password dialog asks for a favorite pet's name. I had assumed it would be Farnsworth, the cat mentioned on ilovebees. Unfortunately, it is not. I think if we could find out this favorite pet's name, we would gain access to the secrets stored in [email protected]'s email account. good luck all. |
I wouldn't suggest trying hack into the email account anymore. "Dana" AKA Bungie has already warned someone by the name of xnbomb not to do so...

| It seems that snippets of various emails that have been sent to you by my colleagues have been reassembled and sent back, apparently originating from your aunt's hotmail address. I'm not really sure what it means at this point. But it tells us that we can communicate with these entities using email. In the absence of having a clear idea of just what is going on, the first priority is to communicate, that is how we can learn more. It's at least possible that we've stumbled across something extraordinary here, and our first priority must be to learn all that we can about it. It's for that reason that I'm going to suggest that you take no further action that interferes with what's going on at ilovebees.com. There's another reason too, one slightly more disturbing. Consider this passage from the end of the tale hidden in the images: "The day will break and the sun will rise when the Queen returns to rule, and further let it be known that retribution on any who hinder the return of the Queen will be swift and terrible. This is a significant warning, namely that any interference with that process will be regarded as a hostile act, and will be responded to accordingly. I don't know what the SPDR is capable of, but I'm not sure I want to find out.It's for this reason that I suggest that you don't do anything else to get in the way of this business. If your aunt's business needs a functioning web site immediately, purchase her a new and similarly named domain and get her web site going there. But let this follow its course while it could just be some hackers being jerks, there is at least a chance that this is something unique and important and wonderful, a window on a world that we may have never seen before, nor will ever see again. |

I've read that the mites that varroa mites that have infested her hive look a hell of a lot like the flood. And those mayday stories are one of the flood "with eight legs" hijacking her thoughts. There are theories that the flood had hijacked Captain Keyes' brain and figured out where earth is. I'm sick of the flood, damit! I don't want to battle them though this whole game too!

ILB threads started in any of the other forums will be locked. Note that I said locked, not moved. 2. Any threads that are made that are repetitive and offer nothing to the speculation will be locked. 3. If discussion in a thread gets out of hand (IE, speculation goes from being decent, thought out ideas to worthless drivel), the thread will be locked. The exception to this rule is if spammers attack a thread, in which case the mods will do what we can to clean up the mess. The moderators will be enforcing these rules with extreme prejudice. ANY inane threads about ilovebees will be locked, and a explanation may or may not be provided. Those of you that aren't interested in the ILoveBees mystery, don't read the threads, it's that simple. |

As millions of people do, I have a hotmail account. It consists of 2mb maximum space with the standard "Free" account.
Here is a small point...
Lets say, for instance, that ladybee777 is using a free account.
The thousands of emails this account has received would have been spit back at the sender if Ladybee's inbox was full since an infox can only fit a few thousand Kb's. Could this person be a premium member?
I was trying to think how we could possibly determine if this is a fact...Here is what I came up with.
If it is a "Premium" hotmail account, then, unlike the Advertisements posted at the bottom of every email sent from "Free" hotmail users emails, there would be no ads on Ladybee's
I need some feedback if Ladybee777's emails have ads for hotmail.com at the bottom.
If it turns out this is a premium account, It seems very odd to me that a webmaster would be using this type of account..especially if he/she has a business selling honey .But then again it would make sense if it was free from ur buddies @ MS who own hotmail....
Alright ill stop my ranting.. this is all i can come up with. time 4 Bed.

Posted by: Frankie Halo 2 comes out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It does NOT come out on Aug 24th. You know what does come out on Aug. 24th? Some OXM special which does NOT, and I repeat does NOT have a Halo 2 demo on it. No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. But to reiterate, Halo 2 comes out Nov. 9th or Nov.11th for the UK. Sigh. |
Now what does this add to the discussion....

EDIT: I just looked at the source and the countdaown is simple Javacript. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't execute in FireFox unless FireFox has some reason to believe it is malicious.

EDIT: It appear that Axons are a part of every humans nervous system. Here is a snippit from a website:
"Neurons consist of three main parts: the cell body, dendrites, and a singular, tube-like axon. Dendrites carry signals to the cell body, while axons carry impulses from the cell body towards the synapse, which is at the end of these tubes. At a synapse, the membranes of the two cells come very close, but do not actually touch.
Synapses allow the cells to communicate. They transmit impulses from one neuron to the dendrites on another neuron. The signals pass across a very narrow gap (the synaptic cleft) when one of the neurons releases a tiny amount of a chemical called a neurotransmitter. Special receptor molecules in another cell's membrane detect the neurotransmitter. This can happen hundreds of times in a second at each synapse."

For all of you saying that it has nothing to do with halo 2... i believe you are very wrong. Why would the link appear in a halo 2 trailer, and not have anything to do with the game at all? It has SOMETHING to do with the game no doubt. It may be something small or it may be huge. We dont know.

I already it try but never think of that.
666 the number of the beast. its the apocalypse.
on http://www.ilovebees.com/links.html we can see a countdown, its the same countdown as in the front page but with a new text. everyone has seen it , but
AXONS GO HOT:
05:13:37:32:563
sounds like:
XENON GO OUT
so maybe it the countdown to the realease of the xbox 2 :XENON (or maybe they will call it axons) with the release of halo 2 for the xbox 2.
this would be awsome,
I know I should stop dreaming but we never know.
