[Aruarian Reflection]

Fantastic. I loved ilovebees... the audio tapes were phenomenal.

 

[Wellington]

Wow, even marketing campaigns will have sequels next gen.

I'd say that image pretty much confirms it.

 

[sprsk]

Yeah ilovebees rocked. A friend and I actually made it to one of the Loews Theatres, and we told the guys there "The Operator left a message for us." Then they handed over two DVDs to us...We had no idea what was on them. On the ride home, we were flipping out...On it was ilovebees, the Halo 2 logo, and the Xbox Live logo. We thought maybe it was a playable demo or something. Instead it was an audio log of the entire ilovebees saga :lol Good times

 

[Spencerr]

Game-mate-ker?

 

[Inumaru]

Is there a GAF colony yet?

 

[PhatSaqs]

Yes. But it belongs to Nintendo

 

[Inumaru]

Yes. But it belongs to Nintendo

:lol

 

[ascully]

Anyone figured out what to put in the box yet

 

[PhatSaqs]

Enter Play and then click on the spider.

Go GAF Horde colony - 70827755 :lol

 

[BarneyBP]

Yes we have a colony, enter 70827755

 

[mCACGj]

Does GAF have a colony? We should WIN, with our number around the country, we can't lose. We need to start a colony!

 

[Spencerr]

Nm @ me.

 

[Matlock]

:lol @ the fact it refers to kent university press--wonder if they know

 

[BarneyBP]

Why is it telling us to "grow your colony to 5 to take the next step" when it appears GAF has quickly grown to 8 already. Server must be slow.

Post now edited to make me appear less slow!

 

[PhatSaqs]

80 is the points. 10 points per member.

 

[mCACGj]

Anyone have any idea about the challenge?

 

[Spencerr]

it says:
Challenge
LAST " " 0761537082

Google search reveals that that number is the ISBN number for a book called Opening the Xbox by Dean Takahashi, what should I put in the field, can't figure it out.

 

[civilstrife]

Well, this thread is destined to last a while...

Anyway, about our clue.

LAST " " 0761537082

Apparantly that number in the ISBN number for the book "Opening the X-box"
so... maybe it has something to do with that?

EDIT: Beat to the punch

 

[Spencerr]

Maybe it wants the last quote in that book...

 

[mCACGj]

Maybe it wants the last quote in that book...

Someone get on that (of course, if you have the book).

 

[VALIS]

I have the book. Hold on, looking for the last quote now...

 

[VALIS]

Nope. I just tried the last two quotes in the book and the last quote on the dust jacket and none of them work.

edit: Maybe I shouldn't be using Firefox? Heh heh.

 

[civilstrife]

well, looks like no sleep for me tonight.
I'm a sucker for this stuff.

 

[FightyF]

How about something like the last letter, or last word, or last sentance?

Yeah, I suck at this kind of stuff...but IMO it's really cool!

 

[mCACGj]

Nope. I just tried the last two quotes in the book and the last quote on the dust jacket and none of them work.

edit: Maybe I shouldn't be using Firefox? Heh heh.

Maybe it means last quoted thing in the book instead of the last line of the book? I don't know.

 

[VALIS]

GOT IT!

edit: I was using the last quote of the epilogue instead of the main book. The last quote of the book did it. Should I be posting this stuff here for other Colonies to glom on? There's a message board for the GAF Horde on the site.

 

[civilstrife]

I GOT IT

EDIT: HE GOT IT!

... what was it?

 

[Spencerr]

woot what was the answer?

 

[BarneyBP]

I can't even find the challenge on the colony's main page

 

[PotatoeMasher]

we should keep solutions in the colony mb

 

[Spencerr]

it links to 2.jpg -- there's also a 1.jpg

 

[civilstrife]

yeah, don't post it for other colonies to see...

w00t! we won this

is there a next clue?

 

[arter_2]

woops man i thought i did it by just adding up all the numbers i got 138 but w/e im probably wrong.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Yeah. Dont post the shit here. You could be helping enemy colonies

 

[mCACGj]

We probably need to get more people to see the next Challenge. I guess just keep getting people to sign up.

 

[civilstrife]

wow.... this is genius marketing. Not only are we all interested, but we're trying to get others involved too.

 

[VALIS]

Posted the answer on the GAF Horde board.

 

[Link]

Ok, I'm in. Had to use Wesley since Link was taken. Hope I can help.

 

[Striek]

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of hiding things on our colony forum if anyone can get our password to sign up? Just saying ;p

 

[civilstrife]

yeah, but we get 10 points for every user. So... even if they come sign up to get our answers, we get points.

 

[VALIS]

I thought of that, too, but who knows what the rules are to this game. You'd imagine everyone is getting the same puzzles, but maybe not.

 

[DopeyFish]

how often will there be puzzles, thats the question...

 

[civilstrife]

check this out...

[Inumaru]

This is gonna be one long thread...maybe we should get this sticky'd?

Also, I think you get new challenges as soon as you reach a certain member number threshold. We're at 38 GAFers! Go GAF!

 

[Spencerr]

Look at the thread I made on there please kthx.
