yeah, i was looking through the flood the other day, and i saw a post that said "if you died, would people on bungie.net remember/miss you" well, i was really uncomfortable even reading the title of the poll. Mainly because i take at least 2 8 hour over seas flights a year, and im not exactly crazy about flying. I was just wondering if the moderators could keep an eye out for threads like that and lock them. Even though i know its the flood, its not really appropriate and probably makes a lot of members uneasy. Thanks for hearing me out.

the fact that death was mentioned, it just made me feel a little uneasy, and even if it is a forum for everything randomn, i just dont think its very appropriate to be on there. w/e if you dont want to, thats fine by me.

well, for better or worse, death is a part of what we live with. Dismissing it is something that can't be done so easily, especially in forums about a game where the main objective is killing the enemy. Though i will say that at times you are right, there is no reason why such discussion should not be allowed.

IM NOT FRIGGEN DISMISSING IT, i just dont like the way it is being used in that context, and i dont think death is an appropriate topic for an online forum, even if it is a randomn forum. except video game death, thats different

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

You do understand Halo is a video game that involves death? "But you already knew that, how couldn't you?"

Why wouldn't you get in the same position about something in a game as a few words posted on a website's forum?

No no, i'm not saying you were dismissing it. And i understand how you feel about it. Regardless, there is nothing inappropriate about it.

people die all the time. get over it.

besides you seem to be fine being on a forum for a company that make games where people die all the time.

Ferret is right. Nearly every single Bungie game (besides Weekend Warrior and Gnop!) involve killing others. Be it with a German pistol (PiD), a tank (ODS), a grenade launcher (Abuse), a fusion pistol (Marathon), a glaive sliced through your spine (Myth), a roundhouse kick to the face (Oni) or being flattened by a Warthog (Halo).

EDIT: I just read your post that video games are different. Okay. But I like my list. :(

So, really, you should probably try to come to terms with your fear of flying. If you fly so much, maybe you should see a psychiatrist?

If you don't like something, it is simple to ignore it and move on. The problem is that when you have a crowd, an individual can do little to prevent some sort of discussion. On a public forum, as long as the discussion is allowed by the rules, a few people can do little to get rid of it. The best way to get rid of it in your case is to not reply, thus making sure one less person bumps it to the top. I'm not exactly sure how the idea of death in any way, shape, or form, or the discussion thereof, can make anyone feel uneasy. About 50% of all poetry deals with death in some form.

I was going to put a couple of poetry lines because they fit, but then thought better...

References to the topic are everywhere. Why on a public forum is it important? Surely one who has an uneasy feeling about something but is exposed to it constantly eventually becomes partially desensitized to it.

I think you need to just get some thicker skin. If every time death is mentioned any where your going to get uneasy, you might find your self being uneasy on a regular basis.

yeah, i was looking through the flood the other day, and i saw a post that said "if you died, would people on bungie.net remember/miss you" well, i was really uncomfortable even reading the title of the poll. Mainly because i take at least 2 8 hour over seas flights a year, and im not exactly crazy about flying. I was just wondering if the moderators could keep an eye out for threads like that and lock them. Even though i know its the flood, its not really appropriate and probably makes a lot of members uneasy. Thanks for hearing me out.

Its a legitimate topic. The thread is there for you to dismiss or engage. Its your choice. You may not wish to hear about it. But you can ignore it. Others may wish to discuss it. Knowing the Flood userbase, I am sure they would, especially seeing as quite a few of them are close, in a digital anonymous manner of course.
