In Response To: yes, hooray... (Miguel Chavez)
So I noticed that Deimos was pretty quick figuring out the long hex code clue, so I thought I'd lurk on subnova.hl and watch these guys in 'action' so to speak... it was interesting, if not funny at times, watching them try to piece it all together. They were also trying to do FB's damnation trick of using an overshield to get to the bottom that map. :)
Herewith the chat, cleaned up a bit to make it easier to follow. Notice that Cunbelin kept dancing around the solution about an hour before they actually thought to try it. Those GEEKS! :)

Deimos (The B: !?

Deimos (The B: no wei
Schooly D: well, it was someone else's idea.

Deimos (The B: sure it would
Deimos (The B: unless you don't use inf grenades
Schooly D: even with inf grenades. It'a ptretty big hole
2 and 2 make : well, you could always jump in after him
Deimos (The B: not really
Deimos (The B: i can cover most of the maps with frags and get a hell of a lot of kills
Deimos (The B: i just need a nice hole to hide in
Deimos (The B: prisoner is great for that
Schooly D: yeah, but on maps, you've got hallways and stuff you are confined in

Schooly D: that means death, right?
Deimos (The B: 128x128?
Schooly D: no, the black circle
Deimos (The B: ooooo
Deimos (The B: lets climb out
Magus Caves I: what does a black circle have to do with anything in halo?
Schooly D: it doesn't
Schooly D: but if I recall my folklore, a black spot means death
Magus Caves I: so then why is it in the halo forum if it dosent relate to the game?
Deimos (The B: damn
2 and 2 make : next jump, fire again
Magus Caves I: unless you have to die to find it.....
Deimos (The B: HOW THE HELL?!
Schooly D: over here
Schooly D: gotta jump, 2

Deimos (The B: ok
Deimos (The B: i'm going to end this game

*** Schooly D waits
Schooly D: Is deimos asleep?
Magus Caves I: ugh...nite guys
Cunbelin: I think MS hasn't gone far enough, they need to cause every
modded Xbox to explode when they attempt to connect to live!
vector40: That's what Palladium will do.
*** Deimos (The Blue Bar!) wonders what the hell this huge dot is supposed to tell us
Cunbelin: well there is a world of difference between a closed box system
and an off the shelf component based system
2 and 2 make : ok, what's something that FB hasn't reached the top or bottom of?
2 and 2 make : because I will dedicate the rest of my life getting to that spot
Deimos (The B: i think somewhere in the library
vector40: Um... other side of Halo?
2 and 2 make : and then I will write "SUCK IT FROGBLAST" with the assault
rifle when I get there
2 and 2 make : just because
Cunbelin: heh
Deimos (The B: heh
Schooly D: ha
Schooly D: let me know if you plan on playing another game
Schooly D: or don't. It's your call.
2 and 2 make : playing right now, actually
vector40: Moon with your metal ass.
Schooly D: dammit
Cunbelin: heh that's like humping the guys body in MP
2 and 2 make : getting to the bottom of damnation - SINGLE PLAYER ONLY
Schooly D: oh
vector40: Hahaha
2 and 2 make : damn, almost did it
vector40: Any number of players, for that matter.
Cunbelin: damn I so want Halo online
Cunbelin: I think I'd rather have Halo online than Halo 2 right now
2 and 2 make : no, it's possible to get to the bottom of damnation
Cunbelin: MA is good, but damn it would be so much better to be able to
mock perfect strangers
2 and 2 make : care to guess who did it?
vector40: A... dot? Uh god Miguel's trying my humanity.
vector40: How do you get to the bottom?
Schooly D: very carefully
2 and 2 make : you have to bring the overshield down with you and intercept it mid-air
Cunbelin: has anyone made it to the bottom of the shaft single player ?
2 and 2 make : in AotCR?
Deimos (The B: uhhh
Cunbelin: no the shaft in SC, but with only a single player

vector40: Sometimes when I press start it'll appear maybe in small print
somewhere unnoticable, or if you look at a map from top view or
at certain views it appears.
vector40: ???
Deimos (The B: yea...that doesn't make a damn bit of sense
Cunbelin: I still like that I got rid of the Game Demos on the start screen
2 and 2 make : note: this bug only appears when you've been sniffing glue

Deimos (The B: heh
Cunbelin: but that was just cuz the disk was dirty
*** ferrex shrugs... I haven't the faintest idea what he's talking about

Cunbelin: heh
ferrex: Cun> sure, when their shields deplete they will take cover
vector40: And then get pissed off and lunge at you, of course :)

<<< Nacho [On The List] has left >>>

Schooly D: because I was overqualified
Cunbelin: heh yeah damn that must be it
Schooly D: and something about "embezzlement"
2 and 2 make : of course, nobody has found the REAL easter egg yet
vector40: It's those damned Turkish.
Cunbelin: getting close to elites so they don't run has become so ingrained
in my gameplay style I didn't even realize they actually ran
Schooly D: why doesn't Miguel just say what it is?
2 and 2 make : hook up a keyboard to the xbox, type control-F12,
and type in "beertilxx"...
Schooly D: Is he under some kind of NDA?
ferrex: where's the fun in that?
ferrex: driving the community into frenzies like this is a rare but very

*** ferrex has done it once or twice in the past, and both were
extremely rewarding experiences

Schooly D: And someone tell me how the b.org glyph puzzle was solved
Deimos (The B: i also tried .blam for the hell of it
Cunbelin: heh ok one was the core thing, but what was the other one ?
vector40: And "The Blue Bar" is one character too many.
vector40: The glyph puzzle was solved by insanity.
ferrex: an earlier countdown on the Codex, the experience that taught
me how tantilizing countdowns are
Cunbelin: heh
ferrex: if you put a countdown on your website, people will eventually notice, and go insane
Cunbelin: the core thing was truly inspired
Deimos (The B: aye
ferrex: that was a hoot
Schooly D: core?
ferrex: I hope I can do it again someday

Mongrrel: do a search for berserker fortune myth
Mongrrel: i think that will pull up the page
Cunbelin: not on google
Mongrrel: hmmm
Mongrrel: ah, berserkintosh fortune myth
Cunbelin: so the dot was for the Help! I'm a random byte trapped
inside the bungie.net server!
Cunbelin: or was that just to mess with our minds ?
Mongrrel: ???
Mongrrel: you don't get the 'dot' as a clue? You figured it out, go back
and read what you said. :)
Cunbelin: heh I guess
Cunbelin: the random byte thing actually came to mind first
Mongrrel: dot... dot-command
vector40: That wasn't a dot, it was a monolith.
Mongrrel: blue bar - dot - dot command, blue bar, myth
Cunbelin: well you think this will be too obvious:
Cunbelin: .fate ?

Cunbelin: Help! I'm a random byte trapped inside the bungie.org server!
vector40: Here's the question: what did Miguel's little binary string
have to do with anything?
Mongrrel: you want to keep it from the others on the forum?
vector40: Not the original one, all the others. Is anyone going to bother
to translate all of them?
Cunbelin: I'm not sure, I've not even gotten to do it yet and I can't
take screenshots
Mongrrel: ah, I see :)
vector40: 2, you have screens?
Mongrrel: you should post stating why you're delaying your revelation,
cunb, if it's for the screenshots
2 and 2 make : yeah
Mongrrel: I did one, and only one, string of hex. Not binary.
Mongrrel: which deimos solved
Cunbelin: oh alright I guess I'm not too sadistic so I'll just post it in white font
vector40: Send Cunb a good screen
Mongrrel: just reply to his thread with the screenshots
2 and 2 make : well..it would be neater if we could post with screenshots
2 and 2 make : show exactly how it's done, not just 'omg it's .foo'
2 and 2 make : heh, ten screenshots - I think that's it
Cunbelin: heh

Cunbelin: and I'm lazy
Deimos (there: heh
Mongrrel: heh
Deimos (there: now...i wonder about this "other" egg
Deimos (there: actually, matt in one of his updates specifically mentions an egg chucky added
*** Deimos (there is no egg) wonders which one that was
vector40: Also, at the Fanfest they mentioned some egg that "Nobody would ever
find, ever" because the situations required to trigger it were so obscure.
vector40: That's next :)
Deimos (there: i would bet it would be the hippo, else matt wouldn't have mentioned it ;)
Deimos (there: well...meg's egg is like that
2 and 2 make : there we go
2 and 2 make : 225 KB
