Well, something strange happened to me on bungie.net recently. I was looking at the members list to one of the chapters that I belong to when I was shocked, bewildered, and confused by the appearance of a certain gamertag named "Philosophyzer" linked to my bungie.net presence. The gamertag has no ranked games played on it. I don't even own an Xbox, and I certainly don't have a gamertag. I was thinking that this might be a possible account hijacking, which is somewhat concerning as I use the same password for everything. But I checked everything, and the only thing that happened to my account was the strange linking. Nobody posted using my account, nobody changed settings, my e-mail accounts are still in working order, and ninjas haven't invaded the house violently to steal all my pies before jumping into their spaceship to go to Pluto. So it may simply be a bungie.net glitch. Just wondering, does anybody know how this might have happened (with the exception of somebody getting hold of my password)? And how do you unlink gamertags?

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Strange. Everyone always asks how to link their Gamertag but this is the first time I've heard of someone trying to unlink one... Try going in to My Settings, and getting rid of it.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Try deselecting the link option.

Man i have the exact same problem but the onlything is i do have xbox live. It says it is link to some guy called LunchBoxDiesel and I have no clue who this is and I have check every possable reason this might of happened. I e-mail bungie like a month ago asking them to unlink it and tell me why this happened. They haven't mailed me back. Like WTF if going on?

Read my signature then click my login. I didn't know this guy at first but now we've become pretty good friends.

Edit: I've hidden "my" GT.

I've spoken to Achronos and he says to give it time because it will eventually settle itself out.

Heres what you do, first pick up your xbox, second open a window, thrid lunge it OUTSIDE the wondow...4th, now this is important, get a gun and shoot yourself in the head with it.

My best guess? Database errors, they have been showing up everywhere lately. The latest build of B.net doesn't seem all that stable...

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Three different gamertags have been linked to my Net Passport from April untill now. I think it's just a glitch.
