So you all know Urk right? Yep that Urk? - notice how his gamertag is "The Jurkstore"

Today during my lurking, I actually stumbled across a video on YouTube with Halo 3 of a match between Urk and Shishka. Pretty awesome video!

Anyways, I dug deeper. I noticed that Urk's gamertag in the video is "Urk The Red". So I went back to bungie.net and typed into the gamertag search Urk The Red, and this is what I got.

Pretty neat eh? Now click the button that says "Bungie.net Profile". It'll take you to the account that is connected with that gamertag. That account is The Urkitect.

So, with that it's pretty obvious that this is Urk's other "Non-gold" account. Do all bungie employees have these? Or is this something just for kicks? I found it pretty interesting. Maybe this was the account he used before - since the join date is in 2004?

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Marty's alt is John Cena.

I think that might just be his account used before he became an employee.


That was some intense creeping there, Marathon.


As for other Employees, I don't think they have alts, because not many actually post on the forums, and those that do, don't post all that often.

Lots of employees have multiple accounts for LIVE. Including Urk.

It's probably personal preference. Some employees probably don't want their primary gamertag going out to everyone who can view their profile.

Believe it or not, everyone who's posted in this thread so far is actually one of Deej's alts.

Nostalgia attack! I haven't seen that video for a long time.

Anyway, I didn't do as much searching as you, but after playing a few games with urk on Reach, I did notice the gamertag was different. I'm sure that Bungie employees have multiple accounts just like anyone else to keep things safe for their own matter.

If that was an alt shouldn't it be wearing haunted?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

....? They don't have to wear haunted. It's just unlocked for them. The helmet he is wearing is actually unlocked at Mythic Rank, yet he is only a Warrant Officer.

I'm talking alt Bungie.net accounts not Xbox Live gamertags. There is only 1 used gamertag that I mentioned in the OP which is Urk the Red. The other is just a placeholder.
