The End
‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’
"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

The Scores in the title may be outdated. You can keep track of the current score from RollinRollin13, our Carnage correspondent, here.
Community Pentathlon -- Special thanks to MetalxTongue who came up with the concept.
Date: Sunday 22nd January 2012
Like Bungie separates its workers into four schools, based on tenure, so too does it divide its community.
In studio this culminates once a year in a cocktail of blood and scotch. On bungie.net members do not have similar opportunity to assert their dominance; or at least they haven't, until now.
The Community Pentathlon is an opportunity for the titles of [ ], Heroic, Legendary and Mythic to prove their worth.
The Four Titles
_ Members
The motley masses, Members are seen as a source of heat but little light. With nothing to lose, but much to gain, it is questionable whether they have the discipline to clutch victory.
"Members; we don't hate you because you're black, we hate you because you're stupid" -- A Mythic
Heroics
Heroics are met largely with indifference. The only real question is what colour their title bar actually is. It is grey and dull, but does it contain a tinge of green? And is that green symbolic of envy?
Legendaries
Graduates from horribly coloured bars, but yet to forget their origins, Legendaries are usually quite hospitable. It is little surprise then that newbies often ask how to become a Legendary Member, rather than a Mythic. Here they will be facing opponents without strong moral code; they will probably lose horribly.
Mythix
Mythics are the cynics of bungie.net, they like to complain about Members that post too much, fight over boobs and compare join dates. I imagine they will temporarily put aside their differences ('04 or bust) when given an opportunity to put down those they consider their inferiors.

How will this work?
These games will be played round-robin style, meaning each team will play 3 matches in all per game. A victory gives one point, a tie or loss does not - and no, nobody is going to painsteakingly break down the stats.
Each Title will be arbitrarily assigned with a Captain (what could possibly go wrong?), this Captain with FR everyone else on their team and drag them from game to game (inviting people in order of sign up). Everyone should make sure they have space on their friends list; Captains, if you would rather not remove people PM me and I'll give someone else Captaincy.
Captains will also be responsible for providing Carnage reports. They must post the result of each game in this thread, along with a link to the game stats where possible.
