Bungie Community,
There is an active Xbox Live gamertag linked to this here forum profile. I issue to you a challenge...
Fire up your game decks. Lock and load a copy of Halo: Reach. Sort yourselves for some Big Team Battle. Send a friend request to DeeJ BNG. Do it right now. I am waiting.
Welcome to the first in a series of Community Ride Alongs.
In the world we live in, I am in the Bungie game room, flanked by some aging stand-up arcade games, a pool table, an air-hockey table, a flight-sim rig surrounded by monitors, and 2 Xboxes. On Xbox Live (the other world we live in), I am flanked by my special guests for this pilot edition of community outreach: An armed-escort of Bungie.net Forum Ninjas.
You know them as Team HCFS - whatever that stands for. I know them as Foman, Lord Revan, True Underdog, Old Papa Rich, Tom T, and maybe even Duardo as a late reinforcement.
The first of you who send me a message from a ready position in the main lobby will be invited to play. Will fill this party flash-mob style. In accepting this invitation, you agree to comply with the following bylaws. Failure to uphold this agreement will result in the evacuation of your seat for the next rider...
I will play the game the way it was meant to be played.
I will be nice to the fellow gamers I encounter during the ride along.
I will not grow irate or fly into a rage if events do not transpire to my liking.
I will not make DeeJ feel bad about the lack of Halo career history that corresponds to the gamertag he has retasked for the sole purpose of community management.
Our lobby is open. Come and get some. I look forward to meeting you.
To those of you not drafted for this bout. There will be other calls to arms. This is just the beginning.
