Who's idea was it to put the Webmaster's DNA in there?

A few of our mods were actually bred here inside Bungie Studios in a petri dish in our testing lab. Not content with mere mortals from the community, we resorted to building a moderator based on the ideal spec. Unfortunately some genes from the Webmaster were used in the cloning process and all of our "children" have since succumbed to the horrors of alcohol and Tijuana Mamas....A fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies.

was there ever a "Child" that got lost or ran away?

Does that mean that Sigma is in the process of excreting urine?

I do think bungie needs a few more mods, because right now there are about 1 mod per 10,000 members. Although they are doing a remarkable job i think 1 mod per 9,500 would sute the community better.

How much do they get paid...or do they? I think it may get a little bit boring sitting at your computer deleting threads and blacklisting people. I do see fun in maybe replying to hatemail.

Oh no, Bungie thought that the undying love and affection of the Halo 2 community would be payment enough.

and last and not least, Reiginko lives in Australia.

Australia isn't a city!! Perth is though, where Reigi and myself are from.

And anywhatz, I thought all the mods were trapped in a dungeon chained to computers that only access Bungie.net...

I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

Brown chicken Brown cow!

Well I suppose i was close by saying they are pod people.....just grown in a dish.

Mayb electing a mod isnt a good idea but mayb if a current mod was thinking about getting some new blood they can ask the community what they think.

Just a thought,

I hope, for all of our sakes, that never happens.

Can Mods be elected by normal forum members?


Mein gott I hope not! I shudder to think what horrors democracy would bring to this place.


Twitch666 the moderator?

I'm curious Franky, what is exactly the "ideal spec?" My theory would be someone whos got a neural connection to his computer, thus eliminating the inefficiency of keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

  • 08.17.2005 11:05 AM PDT

*Sgt

Sketch, thats right. Bungie has like, unlimited Tijuana mamas! I love those so much! *ahem* anyways.. what is the deal with Sigma? Nobody knows whats goin on with him anymore.

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

Sorry Double Post.

Yeah, they might make you mod or something.


In that case I love democracy! :D


All this coming from the formally elected prime minister of Body Politic....

Hehe, yes that is rather contradictory. :D

I justify it in that the electoral franchise within body politic is more suited to making a democratic decision than is the wider Bungie.net community when taken as a whole. Also, my actions in Body Politic don't reflect upon Bungie in the wider world...

Maybe he died early because Sketch left his petri dish open for a bit too long...
