Subject: Bets on what Bungie's April Fools joke'll be

It happens every year. The 1st of April. Bungie normally gives the Community something to grin and chuckle about.

What do you think it'll be this year; or alternativley, what do you think it should be?

Personally... I would like to see the beta for Halo 3 go live, but when you try to download it... a message pops up saying, of course, 'It's April 1st, you fool."

... of course, that's cruel, and would have some major backlash by those not used to Bungie's personality. I'd find it humorous, though... mostly because I'm a bitter bee that didn't get into the beta. ; P

Edit: Sometimes, I type like I've had a stroke.

They'll claim groups are online, but when you try to access them, your browser will hang for hours.

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

They'll announce a release date for Halo 3 which would be next week.

Pimps at Sea 2.

Heh. It seems like we get Pimps every year. Maybe gameplay from Halo Wars that quickly degrades into an RTS version of Pimps... just for the giggles.

... and @ the groups comment ... that's going to happen anyways. Hides from Achronos

The administrators on some other forums I've seen (The Wizards of The Coast boards, specifically) would go and randomly change some of the members avatars to things like My Little Pony and such. Very funny. :P Some of the members still have those avatars.

Doesn't he hate that thing? Like... made them cover it.

Man.. just the thought of Ling-Ling makes me chuckle. It's such an amazing part of Bungie lore.

I don't enjoy being on the business end of Bungie's corrupt sense of humor :(

Hahah... that's a good way to put it. They are devious and mischevious, that's for sure.

As much as I don't like being dissapointed, I do find it worthwhile because it's hillarious when a company pulls a fast one. It lets us know they're human and do care about the involvement of the community... even if it means ruffling their feathers once in a while.

Maybe a fake update saying groups are back? A link will be shown in our HUD, but it goes to a prank page making fun of us. like, " muahaha, gotcha !" =[

Maybe they'll send out random messages to half the members telling them theyve been selected to be moderators, and see how many of them believe it. :D.

I remember when the Soul managed to randomly blacklist people. When it got out of it's ethereal realm that time, it took Maka for a week or so. I'd hate to see what would happen if the Soul managed to escape again.

Edit: Grammar is mah homeboy.

Expanding on my earlier idea, instead of just sending out PMs, they'll just give unlikely members moderator colours and custom avatars to see how many people go mad :P. Or bring Twitch back for a day. Or both, at once. Twitch for modz!! XD.

Such power... not even the combined might of Bungie could overtake such a catastrophe! They're not so foolish as to allow that...

However, a Twitch look-alike may be possible.

I need that. I'm supposed to read it over the break, and I don't want to. I'd rather listen to Frankie's soothing voice.

A little off topic but: The Great Gatsby is actually a pretty good read... it's not as bad as you think. It goes by quick.
