Thoughts on Initial Contacts...

Unread post by ToyMachine228 »

Just posting to post but the thing talking is definitely an AI, most likely a Sentinel. Like the 343-Guilty Spark type things. Going to try to keep up with this.

The XBL account just plain doesn't seem legitimate. It doesn't completely fit.

I doubt the XBL stuff is legit.

But also, take note, that AR was threatened by a forum Ninja- to avail, apparently, since he's still counting down.

Hehe. We discussed that in our group (B.net chapter dedicated to this ARG) before-hand. Achilles and a few others of us told him to do it, he gave into peer pressure..

No response, as you said. :\ I guess it didn't work.
This AI clearly has an agenda, and he's keeping to it.

I'm almost 100% sure that was a red herring. Or perhaps salmon. Either way, I'm sure it was there to throw us off. Why would his topics be stickied then, if he wasn't real/supposed to be there? From what I've heard the XBL stuff seems to be pretty arranged by MS, giving him specific actions and/or powers. Plus, wasn't he an XBL member before the B.net and HBO stuff started happening?

Anyway, the only other possibility is that the forum ninja at B.net wasn't just throwing out something to make us believe this wasn't Bungie-created. Maybe he just didn't know about it :| .

Did he try to "remove him from the system."

Maybe we should remain consistent with our threats..

Nah. Read my post right there. ^

I know Achilles pretty well. We were actually doing it to see if we could get a response. The Forum Ninjas aren't in on it, as they're not employees. They're fans, just like us. ;)

I'm pretty sure that AR supercedes pretty much any authority on those forums. Gold text>salmon text?
