It's been a while since I've seen someone make a post asking about these, and I'm especially surprised that I haven't seen one due to recent circumstances. What circumstances you ask? Well, they go by the name of DeeJ.

Would the community be satisfied if Urk handed down the mantle to DeeJ and had him start writing the Average Joe and Know You Ninja articles?

Also, while we're throwing that out there, what if DeeJ started writing a slimmed down version of the BWU? I know there wouldn't be much for him to go off of, but there's always something.

I think he's got the stuff to handle himself. He could pull it off (+1 brownie point). What about you guys?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

We know a lot of the moderators by now and everything has been average lately. :/

I think Ride Alongs look like our best option for the next cool thing, sadly you can ONLY be in a ride along ONCE and then you can't be in one ever again. One ride along per person.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

DeeJ is a combination of circumstances?

Yeah man community member interviews RULE

I think community interviews will live on as simple questions on the ride along blog that is written up.

I think Ride Alongs look like our bets option, sadly you can ONLY be in a ride along once and you can't be in one again I think.
While this may be true, there are still moderators we haven't met, and on top of that, what's wrong with getting to know more of your fellow community members? A well written Average Joe article can make anyone smile.

And Ride Alongs aren't really the same thing.

He's a combination of the letters D, E, and J. Plus carbon and some other elements. :/

I think the ride alongs were one of the best community building things we have done in a long time. You got to meet many people from here that you wouldn't normally play with. But I hope ride alongs expand and one day people can do a second ride along becuase for now it is one ride along per person.

What about the Carnages? :P
And I don't disagree that the Ride Alongs are a good way for the community to meet people, but what's wrong with having something extra? Does more awesome ever really hurt? Why not have both, with twice the fun?

I think I may like Carnages more than ride alongs right now. I have to see how the ride alongs end up. Carnages seem more open to everyone, but sadly we need more people to jump in.

But community interviews and stuff would be fun, But it has been done a lot.

Carpe Diem - Carpe Coffee

Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Patience, DeeJ just got here! I'm sure they will make a comeback, especially since everyone here has been clamoring for them for a while now. I know I personally enjoyed reading them, but honestly I am really digging how DeeJ is getting involved in the community through games rather than just write-ups.

  • 12.05.2011 7:20 AM PDT

I would write the either of them, if urk or DeeJ would publish it.


We could hold community contests for a shot a title of '' Winning'' for the week, Crimson codes, or Noble Map Pack.

Posted by: True Underdog
Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I agree with you on this one. There are many moderators we really don't know very well. Plus there are a lot of members that post that I never get to know very well. It would be nice to have some "official" interviews for some of our members.

I don't think he'd have enough stuff to fill a weekly update. We're not going to hear about the new IP for a good few months I reckon. And even if it wasnt about the new IP, theres not much going on on B.net at the moment.

I wouldn't mind the additions, but I don't really think that it's needed too badly at the moment.

When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

A young boy and (a regular) girl? I can tell what kinds of things you fantasize about. :P

I would love for them to come back. Some people may know them but don't forget about all the new members that joined up in the past two or three months, they probably have no idea. One of the things I loved about this site were the interviews.

  • 12.05.2011 3:41 PM PDT

That would be nice. Also, it would be fitting because Halcylon got his full Employee title pretty recently.

Give the man time. Also realize everyone has their own style. he's not urk, let the man do his thing and I am sure it'll be just as good.

Or else Bungie has a giant sling shot with his name on it. It is rather sunny today ;)

What? When has anyone ever said that?
@Rollin: I'm down for more average Joes. I think most (if not all) of the ninjas have already been interviewed, so we won't need any more of them until we get more ninjas.

I think you're taking this a little too personal (and seriously)... I saw his comment.. he just doesn't want the same damn people signing up every single time (which you would definitely do).

Let the others get a shot at playing.. Im sure you'll be able to join again down the line. Just don't expect to be in the first 27 ride alongs.
