lmaooo

greatest ending ever

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

Nevertheless, Ken and Ben must be recognized as the true finalists in this bizarre street war. Please (each of you) send me a message with your contact information so that you can claim your portion of the prize.

Yes. Just yes.


I don't even know how to respond to this.

I never cheated, I never used alts, I never asked for alts. I asked people from FCAW, SV, and FT to vote for me. They are large active groups.

I held the lead for up to the end.

Ben, you art was great and I think it was unfortunate people who have hateful opinions had to turn this contest into some hate war.

It sucks that nice shirt was ruined though. now no one could ever wear or use it.

*sigh

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

So according to your logic, everyone who is mute-banned on Reach talks like an idiot.

Yet, also clearly, some election tampering has taken place.

It has been with a heavy heart that I have watched his innocent trial of creativity and imagination twist itself into a blood feud between two private groups that provide a crucial service to the Bungie Community. I know these groups. I have been on Ride Along with these groups. It's kept me up nights.

What to do? Clearly, two champions have emerged as the finalists of this aesthetic engagement. Yet, also clearly, some election tampering has taken place. It is there that we arrive at the relevant conundrum...

Rather than run the risk of rewarding the wrong victor, I have torn a page from the book of King Solomon. It has been decided that this contest will be declared a tie. We have devised a means of enabling Ken and Ben to share the prize.

Gentlemen, you both did excellent work as participants in the challenge. You all did. Your artistry speaks for itself, and should not be diminished by this popularity contest gone terribly awry.

Nevertheless, Ken and Ben must be recognized as the true finalists in this bizarre street war. Please (each of you) send me a message with your contact information so that you can claim your portion of the prize.

Thanks, everyone!

Containing my laughter at work was no simple task...

"Let's have Ben try again even though he had alts vote for him as well."
Ben did not ask to have people cheat. More importantly, both he and Irish were close in the running and beating every other competitor by a minimum of 20 votes, up to 30 for some since the others were 1-11 votes at the time. Both of them could legitimately have won. Thus they should have their shot. I voted for Irish myself, not Ben.

And to the 'u mad' kids... I would wager instead that you are the ones most upset by this since you are all so dedicated to ensuring people think folks like myself are upset.

Well I mean I had more votes to the end.

I am actually furious because the only reason Deej did this is because people are mad I won and frankly it makes me never want to do another competition on here ever again.

I think many people should feel ashamed of themselves for turning this competition into some hate war on the mains.

I can;t believe I have to get half the shirt because I played a fair game and because people were "mad" that I won. Real nice Bungie community.

If people can look through any of my private group threads, I never advocated any cheating and only asked for support.

WAIT A MINUTE! HOLD IT!!!!!

DeeJ, if you are going to do this you need to do this right. Solomon never did cut the baby in two. In fact right before he did the real mother told them to stop and just give the baby to the other woman. That is when Solomon knew who it rightfully owned to.

Solution: Somebody give up the tshirt.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

Woah, so much drama. It's a shame about the shirt.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.
