Subject: One of Seven Phone Calls

Just checked my phone for missed calls.

I didn't even get a ticket, but I checked it, just in case.

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

You know, Bungie is taking a HUGE risk letting people into their studio so early into their next project.

Even with NDAs and tight security, there are leaks.

Math rules the world.

Or they are just messing with us when in reality they want stuff to "leak"

No clue. The only way anything could be enforced is by locking it down and saying that if anything leaked then they would all be going to court. But I doubt they will do that.


That's pretty much exactly what an NDA agreement is.

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 :-)

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Posted by: x Foman123 xAssuming they aren't allowed to tell anything even things like the phone calls, then I agree completely. Well said.

It's just if Bungie does NOT consider the phone calls secret, it would be awesome to hear them, don't you think? If they don't want them shared then absolutely they should keep their mouths shut. I just am hoping the messages aren't secretive because I'm curious as to what is said that's all. I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as it is allowed.

You will be under NDA! It's thicker than a phone book, but 99% of that pages only feature one sentence: "This page is here so that the document is thick enough for us to hit you in the head with it if you talk!"

Sorry guys, but the tour wont be filmed.
So wait, you just disclose some highly classified information from your NDA form... Do I have to slap you with the contract for saying something explicitly secret from the contract?

Giving the winners a shot to the face sounds good to me.

...my mother just got seven phone calls.

  • 07.10.2012 5:46 PM PDT

My name is Mark Mezzetta and I was a beta tester for Bungie's game Oni and Take Two's game Myth 3: The Wolf Age.

urk said this in another thread:

"One of Seven won't signal the beginning of it all for most of us, but it won't be the only opportunity for us to reach out on a more grounded level, either."

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, ;).

Roll with the hits, not under them.

No, you can't have it. But thanks for asking!

We've been under terms of confidence, so to speak, from the moment we received our tickets... much as we can't reveal our codes, we also shouldn't reveal any other detail that isn't specifically cleared. We received a call and that is community news since that was tweeted. What was said in the call is between the Seven and Bungie.

Well if they are indeed getting a sneak preview, it does confirm (if it wasn't already) that the game is on the XBOX 360. So it wouldn't be a next-gen game.

Dead Orbit better be good, I am going to wear the logo around.


Let's think of the context clues in the name shall we ken? First off, "Dead". Now I don't know about you, but that's pretty mean right? Orbit, nothing misleading there. My guess is undead space pirates controlled by the great-grandson of Davy Jones himself.


Back on-topic, whatever look at the game they'll be given we will get sooner or later. We've waited a year, whats another?

edit: also, to the lucky 7, have a blast touring the facility!

The best victories are the ones the other side didn't expect.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

The amount of Jealousy I have right now is overwhelming, but I'm going to have to agree with Foman. Please don't spill on the NDA. I hope to have an opportunity to get one of these tours in the future (I'm only 22, I hope they offer more before I kick it) and leaks would ruin that.

So just know that it's my selfish desires that want you to keep quiet.

In all seriousness, have fun with your tours when they happen. I hope you guys have the time of your life and that Bungie lets you into their secret fold.

Let us know if we should shell out for a collector's edition :)

You mean they wont treat you to grand oats? Or perhaps mini oats is an option among many.

Or maybe you are crunching so hard, you dont only have time to cook mini oats...

So early? I was under the impression they've been working on this for like two years. NDAs generally work pretty well when they come from people who can afford attorneys. Because they can and will wreck you.


The real question here is do they get to sample the Tijuana Mamas from the kitchen/snack room or not?
