http://www.ourcolony.net/

Right, I'm confused. What is it?

Nope, never heard of it...

Definatley a candidate for this stupid shit thread. This pseudo-intellectual cryptic crap does my head in.

The Colony is growing quickly. Please be patient.

Darn, I just don't get it :S I keep getting errors:(

I don't get it... What is this?? :S It seems creepy...

I don't think it's an error, and I never hard of this, but the blob thing cool.
I don't get it too, mabey becuase the'res nothing to get.

the rumors are saying it's a website to promote Microsoft's new box... but I don't understand anything of it

The site worked fine for me.

Gamespot has some information on it. Remember ilovebees.com?
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/04...s_6121811.html

Well I managed to get in.

what's the password? and who did you find it?

The password is "play" and I found a bunch of other members, but's having some erros. You'll see for yourself.

I got the: "The Colony is growing quickly. Please be patient." message
is that it?

This is a load of total timewasting crap.

probobly another Microsoft cryptic site.

Halo 1 had the Cortana Letters.

Microsoft put Bungie up to www.ilovebees.com to advertise Halo 2 in a very cryptic way.

I suspect MS is also behind this, most likely to advertise the new box, as Xavier said.

As time went on, more and more stuff appeared on ILoveBees, making more and more mysterious. Same thing might happen here- keep an eye on it.

EDIT: hmmmm..... I opened up the source code, and found this

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

dunno what it is, seeing as I can't open it.

I also got the hidden message "you are the source"

EDIT2: some guy from the halo.bungie.org forums apparently figured something out. Here's his post:

It looks like Microsoft has a new ARG out, ourcolony.net, probably for Xbox 2 since the countdown timer ends 4 days before E3 and early pictures show a new controller. The password for the site is "play". It works by setting up a colony or joining one. They you have to accomplish tasks to earn points and get on the leaderboard. More info is in the gamespot story linked below. Anyone interested in getting an HBO "colony" up and running? I thought ilovebees was cool but I know it pissed some people off.

I got to here: http://www.ourcolony.net/lounge/

where I got this message:

Well done! You're inside but what now?

you're not the only one that made it this far. there are others with you. it's colony against colony and to the winner, well, the winner gets all. the deeper you go, the more you'll know what you'll find out.

just like fight club, we've got a few rules of our own. they're simple and they'll help you get where you want to go.

You're not going to make it to the end if you try to solo this, there's strength in numbers
be diverse with your people and thoughts
don't forget to collaborate

and you have to use what got you here in the first place... knowledge.

now you need to choose. do you play or do you lead your own colony to victory?

colonize.

http://www.ourcolony.net/images/gallery/Chicago11.jpg <- what's that website? Someone check it out.....

it's the Nine Inch Nails site... a music band, nothing relevant

if someone start a OWF Colony, I'll join

Darn them...
I really don't get it...

I'll start a colony... Dunno how much garbage i'll get...

*edit* what should it be called? I don't want to give it a crap name...

I can't make my own Colony, it's giving that same erro. Ba'h.

Use your colony to solve the puzzle.
