Lyca.com/7499.com Unrelated

Unread post by Sir Topham Hat »

Guys,
I understand that 7499.com and lyca.com are interesting websites with some mystery to them. But they are unrelated to Bungie and AdjutantReflex. There has been NO connection whatsoever between the two except for a tenuous link created from a single word spoken in a ten year old email.

Please read the below post, created by Shishka when he was still working for Bungie (thus making this Bungie's official word on the subject)

Lyca has nothing to do with us. Nothing at all. Any and all posts relating to Lyca.com on this forum will be locked as off topic, because it is in fact off topic. If we have to start blacklisting people to get the point across, we will.




That is NOT some "ruse" to take us off the trail -- that is Bungie's official word.

You guys are extremely smart and great at figuring out puzzles -- I urge you to redirect your attention to the things we know that are relevant. These websites are not, and as such they are off topic.

Thanks so much, and keep solving the puzzle!

Also borrowed from the CompoundIntelligence forums at B.net.

Very convincing, but Bungie has lied in the past. Specifically Frankie has said that something was completely false when in fact it was true. Of course though I can't remember exactly what :) but it is possible that they would lie to throw us off.

Why so?

This "lie" anyways was years old. Who's to say it even applies to this. Both the reference to lyca and Shiska's response are very old. things could have certainly changed since then.

[edit] also where exactly is this reference to lyca? the cortana letters?

It is a one word reference somewhere in the Cortana Letters, and it has been stated many times that the whole thing is unrelated. In fact the only reason it saw a resurgence is because it sees one EVERY time that something mysterious comes up on b.net. Lyca is nothing, and it's OLD nothing.

Still, I did beat that dot game on 7499 and haven't gotten an email yet XD
