For those of you that remember, OurColony was a way for Microsoft to hype up the Xbox 360 by slowly giving out puzzles and clues to the look of the Xbox 360 before it's actual press reveal. I Love Bees similarly did it for Halo 2 before that. Personally, I never figured out any of the puzzles but I do recall how it brought excitement to the community and had people working together for weeks up until the big reveal of the system.
It wasn't even just Xbox communities but all types across various message boards. This was over 10 years ago so it's all a little blurry but I believe it ended with this vid before E3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK7l58Rdan0
If I recall,the very final puzzle piece being the message of "Our Colony Will Return" but it never did, unfortunately. I can't imagine a better time for such a return than for Scorpio's launch.
