Seven questions, seven codes
Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org>Date: 7/26/12 9:25 a.m.


Below are 4 questions, about content that has been posted over the years here at HBO. The first question has four parts - the other three questions are standalone.

The first seven people to provide correct answers will receive Halo 4 Warthog Prop codes.

RULES:


  1. Do NOT answer more than one question at a time. If you do, you will disqualify yourself. If you're unsure of your answer, don't post ANYTHING. If a post is marked as a winner, all other posts relating to that question can be considered to be 'inactive' - you can post an answer to ANOTHER question at that point. The April Fools question is a special case; all answers will be considered to be 'live' until all four winners have been identified, so do NOT post a second guess (or an answer to a different question) until that time comes.

  2. Do NOT answer a question if you've already won. If you do, you will disqualify yourself. (I will put up new questions for answers ruined by disqualified contestants)

  3. If your email address is not listed in your profile, be sure to include it in your post; if you post the winning answer, but I don't have any way to contact you privately, you will be disqualified.

  4. The last three questions have multiple parts; you must answer ALL parts to win.


All seven of these answers will be easy for old-timers, and solvable for newcomers with a bit of searching skill. I expect this contest to go pretty fast. ;)

QUESTIONS:

  1. Over the years, several HBO April Fools jokes have involved website revamps or entirely new sites. There are four still online for viewing; all that's being asked here is to NAME them (and describe them, in basic terms, if you don't have a link). IMPORTANT NOTE: One of these four sites was never actually used on April Fools Day.

    Winner 1: bluerunner (April Fools 2006)
    Winner 2: Ibeechu (April Fools 2009)
    Winner 3: Jooms (April Fools 2001)
    Winner 4: NotTheVacuum (April Fools 2002)

  2. What fan fiction project got its own subdomain - and who was responsible for its content?

    Winner: stabbim (for completing the answer: enkidu.bungie.org)
    An extra code goes out to Vincent, for answering the question correctly, but with an answer I hadn't considered.

  3. Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST both got love from a fan, resulting in two new bungie.org subdomains (and sites that share a design ethic). Name the fan, and the two sites.

    Winner: DHalo (The Halo 3 Terminals, and Sadie's Story, by Capt. Spanish)

  4. We've held a lot of contests over the years. One resulted in cash prizes - name (and link) to it. And then link to a similar contest which was modeled off it - one which had handmade prizes.

    Winner: munky-058 (The Pillar of Art, and the Plinth of Art)
