Video games don't affect children

If PacMan had affected us as kids then we'd all be running around in dark rooms, gobbling up magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music......

...... Been to a rave lately?

I know that being the forerunners (no pun intended) of the community element of Bungie, Frankie and Luke make it very clear how to get in touch with them by signing their name after the title line of every weekend update or news article they submit.

My question is, does anyone know of a way to send some friendly homage to anyone else such as Marty O'Donnel or Dave Dunn? Or are Frank and Luke the only strained contacts into the bungie organization?

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

well, Marty's is Marty the Elder.

there are some other Bnet employees but they do not flaunt the yellow text.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I'd love to get into contact with Staten.

I've just finished Contact Harvest, but I'm having the hardest time imagining what the Tiara looks like, and it's really starting to agner me.

well, as "agnery" as you are :-) I agree, that item in particular was sometimes hard to picture. I'm only a little over half-way through the book so, no spoilers please (FYI) I think it turned out to be 7 (ironic) space elevators (like the tower at the center of New Mombasa in H2 and pieces of it all over Tsavo Highway in H3) in a circle leading up to orbit with a couple of centralized platforms near the top and then a docking station where the containers were made into "vessels" by attatching the Slipstream engine on the back. Kind of like how train cars are only really vehicles as long as their on their wheeled base, but are usually containers with stuff in them that come over on ships, go on trains, and while they are usually repacked into trailers, sometimes, the bare container is hauled by special trucks. In otherwords, I think the Tiara looked like this.

II II II II Wow, it's hard to draw online, but anyway, that's sorta, what I think ti looked like. the top part being a landing station and at the base a train station with weighing and conveying facilities. for the stuff arriving.

However, back on topic!

Anybody know how to reach these people?

I'm going to venture a guess and say that this is him, but it's hard to say since his account isn't labeled.

To the OP, there are a bunch of Bungie employees who maintain profiles here on the website. If you want to reach them, you can just send them a Private Message via bungie.net, or some of them have their @bungie.com emails displayed on their profiles.

I don't think so, cuz you look at his posts (only 3 on forums) and they are like "yeah I hope they do more big team battle stuff" and no special profile stuff. Unless he's hiding his identity pretty well, I don't think so.

Only issue with contacting them through profiles is the fact that you have to find those profiles first.

all the posts that show up are by "Nolan Deckard" not "deckard". I'm pretty sure that's his B.Net name, it's on his "Meet the Team" bio here

If you wanted to reach Marty, this is his profile, although be warned: replies may be heavily sarcastic.

Overall, I'd say that just hanging around the forums for a while should give you a good idea of who's who. Some employees have golden text on the forums, and most have forum titles like Bungie Team, Bungie Staff, Bungie.net Superuser, Management Overhead, etc. If you check out the Meet The Team page, you'll find that a lot of the nicknames of the employees are their bungie.net logins. For instance, Evil Otto is Dave Candland, and RocketMoose is Michael Williams.

Additionaly, Bungiepedia's list of employees and nicknames may be a help.
