In Response To: Congratulations! (Ulf)

: The egg wasn't only not in-game in Halo, it was not in-game in Myth.

Point taken, it's a reason I felt that I had to start to lay clues down to help direct folks in the right direction. However cryptic those clues were. :)

1 - The hex code, when resolved and properly flipped, became "the blue bar", all smaller code pointed to posts here that were on the right track.

2 - The black circle was actually a dot. (which I stressed by re-doing the art as one tiny pixel-dot in a sea of white) Dot commands are something you would know if you played Myth on the bungie.net servers.

3 - The 'Notice' was a paragraph of extremely obtuse english run through babelfish a few times and through various languages. It was my attempt to correct an earlier misconception about the egg. Yes, you didn't have to be a Myth player to find this egg, but it sure as hell was going to be a big help if you knew what a myth player's 'life' was like around the game. Myth players would hop on the b.net myth server, play with others, and being familiar with the b.net server, knew about the dot commands.

The claim that 'you don't have to know myth to find it' was only correct in that if you were persistent in doing a google search for myth eggs and *ignored* the list of eggs already documented at any b.org sites, you'd eventually stumble across this page: http://berserkintosh.com/davesite/html/mythdotfortune.html

At the end, this was a rather hastily conceived 'egg hunt' and I'm no Chelsea Bridge, that's for sure, but I'd like to think it turned out ok for everyone involved. :)
