We're looking at the next ARG, it would seem.

what we do know for a fact, as i just read looking back in the past pages, on page 2 or 3 i think it was, that the I.P. address was discussed, and that the date it would end on is the 21st of June, which is the day of the Summer Solstice, or the longest day of summer. what im guessing is some sort of Bungie update, or a new comic that will lead us to our next clue. but until then, we have to wait until the countdown timer has finished, then we will get our next clue to the puzzle. i think its also counting down when the thing that was built by the "new gods" in the comic will open.
just a theory to throw out there.

I think it's the opening of the first server on Halo3.com, whatever that will lead us to...


According to someone who looked in the .swf file at args.bungie.org, the countdown ends at

9pm Pacific - June 20th
11pm Central - June 20th
12am Eastern - 20th/21st

3 days left... 3 days left until what, exactly.
Microsoft owns the whole 206.16.223.63 range. The Society of the Ancients website was made by Microsoft. Here's a couple other 206.16.223.* sites:

Since the countdown is going really fast now, someone calculated the new times and got the following for the end of the countdown:

GMT -8 [Pacific - San Fransisco/Seatle] 9pm Tuesday night
GMT -7 [Mountain - Denver] 10pm Tuesday night
GMT -6 [Central - Chicago] 11pm Tuesday night
GMT -8 [Eastern - New York] 12am Wednesday morning [midnight]

Off topic, several days old news, pointless news, or stupid theories (Really stupid ones) will get this topic locked. Be intelligent about it, people.

All that article does is tell us it's an ARG which gives us new information, just like the CL and ILB campaigns. Hardly worth reading.

your the kind of people that get stuff locked, the story said that the ARG is to tell us more about the halo campaign before halo CE how the flood were created etc. if you dont want to know what the ARG is for then what is the point of this thread?

^You're the kind of person who has no idea what they're talking about and taking the discussion even more off topic.

AR's been terminated. He gave some information to the leader of CompoundIntelligence, Foman.

Join CI and check the dialog list for more information.
