Unless Deej gives me the ok here, I'm not going to spill. Don't want to take a chance on ruining anything. :)
Good for you, man, and honestly: we don't need to know. Feel free to brag, rub it in our faces, and make us entirely jealous. Let people here say "tell us tell us!" all they want and laugh right in their faces.

But don't spill anything no matter how cool or exciting whatever you see/hear might be. NDA or not, these kinds of opportunities to see even a peek of the inner workings of the studio exist ONLY when the lucky few keep their mouths shut. When they blab, the company becomes even more secretive. And this isn't just speculation: somebody blabbed about some secret stuff back after PAX 2008 even despite having signed an NDA. Now, just ask anybody who has visited Bungie at a PAX event ever since and see how far past the lobby they got. The answer is zero steps -- that's a direct cause-and-effect, my friends.

Also, to those of us who aren't the lucky ones -- it makes it a lot easier if you don't pressure them to tell you.

Anyway, all of this helps to make sure that there can BE lucky ones in the future :-)


Took the words right out of my mouth.

I'm not sure why some want to hear the actual recording, though. Do you just want to hear the voices of Marty and DeeJ?... Creepy.

I can attest to these 0 steps, and I have been inside of there more than a handful of times! Keep the secret sacred!

A more logical explanation. They aren't the winners, they are just claiming to be 1 of 7 for the attention.

I answered my call. Apparently, I was the first to actually pick up the phone.


I notice that people claim to of heard the call but do say anything about what the call entailed or any info that was said in the call meaning that they probably were told not to talk about it.

Or, they just don't want to say anything about the call which I actually think is understandable as the 1 of 7 people laughed as we tried to find their video as we asked them what is up.

Deej said that the one in seven video was a phase of Bungie day, so it is likely one of seven will have some effect on more than 7 people.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Hello is this the One of Seven?

NO THIS IS PATRICK!

Very well said. I wouldn't want to be tempted with the option of getting secret info on Bungie's new project if they didn't intend on us knowing about it. I would hate if one of the special guests revealed just a few photos of their new project to The Community, then those photoes would be all we would have to speculate about it until Bungie released their project themselves. Good luck to all of you who are going on a tour of their studios, just please be mature about it.

So the LUCKY 7 most likely will be witnessing Bungie's next project first hand. The public won't see it until 2013, confirmed by Bungie's twitter. However, let's see what other opportunities arise in the future, ;).
Maybe we'll see the new Marathon game they can't release until 2020! :P

Someone should post proof with their call log or recent calls if they want to be taken seriously

@spawn031

"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams

Do I want to know the details? Yes and no. You see, ever since that contract with Bungie and Activision was leaked back in May, that was a whole huge can of worms that I didn't want to see.

However, it was a huge subject, not only on bungie.net, but many other forum boards I visit, twitter and even on facebook. It just too much to ignore. Whatever the lucky 7 ticket winners get to see and experience, have at it. Make it a kickass time. Just don't tell us (the public). It makes it even better when we do find out, then you guys turn around and say "Hah! That's so old!"

It makes the conspiracy better and when you don't say anything, it lets Bungie know they can trust members and might be able to do more of these things in the future. Who knows.

I am jealous to an extent, but in a way I really don't care to know the details. I want Bungie to reveal their game in a way that is awesome for them. Enjoy your visit to Bungie.

Bye.

I could imagine the phone call starting with heavy breathing and Marty asking "what you wearing", then telling you to buy some nice clothes for your trip to bungie.

So I know its a bit off topic, but if you guys want to see what their office looks like, mosey on over here

A -blam!- NDA? What the hell is the point in telling us about this contest if we can't even know what goes on?

lame, lame lame

EDIT: Nice, Foman. Classy. Real cute.

He has every reason to be. Bungie basically said "Bungie day will only apply to 7 of you, the rest of you can -blam!- off."

I was the first Spartan. And I will be the last. Mythic on 9/1/2012 never forget
PAX 08, Third Team against Luke and Shishka, AR dual to
the Death, won by one point... Assembly hasn't changed.

urk: "This is a bad idea."
DeeJ: "Hold still..."

So I have a gold ticket. And I've got a few questions.

1.) why isn't it reflective?
2.) why was it hand written?
3.) why didn't you inform everyone about the traveling employee giving out tickets from his van?
4.) when do I get refunded my $1000?

Wait a minute.....

Not sure what we can share just yet, they left me an awesome message which I will NEVER delete but wasn't able to speak with Marty and Deej :(. All I can say is that this sounds like it's going to be big! I am so amped!
You WIN! You get to be a part of bungies biotech experiment. I hear it will be just like that one episode of southpark where...


... um, congratulations dude I hope it's something awesome =)

DeeJ called me last night. But that was only because his original date bailed on him.
