Roll with the hits, not under them.
No, you can't have it. But thanks for asking!

To the lucky seven -
Do you feel more connected to the community now than you were before?
Knowing how much you have/will be harassed in the future, do you secertly wish someone else found the tickit in a swag bag.
What are the tickits made of?
Does anyone in your family understand the awesomeness, or do they think your a huge nerd.
Are you afraid you'll end up like Violet (the blueberry girl from willy wonka)?
1) I don't really feel more connected than before. While I'm not as active on forums as a number of people here, I enjoy lurking, and I do a lot of in real life interactions. You can usually find me volunteering for PAX, RTX, or any number of small conventions, which keeps me connected not just to the Bungie community, but to the gaming community at large.
2) Harassment doesn't bother me, although I did have an oh-crap-not-the-spotlight moment when I first read the terms and conditions of the One of Seven contest. Being the person to blow this open to the community was pretty embarrassing at first. I generally don't like to brag or show off, but I'm very happy that the folks of Bungie were not only very understanding, but also pretty jovial about it. Hearing that some of them even liked it was even better.
3) Unicorn kisses, Leprechaun tears, rainbows, and cosmic star dust. I'm not even joking. It is so subtly shiny and prismatic that there absolutely must be at least one gram of each in it.
4) My extended family thinks I'm a huge nerd, but luckily I'm the mom of the household, so I get to be super nerd mom and everybody else can just suck it. My son is a ball of super gaming joy and energy, but he's autistic and I can't really explain things to him the same way as you guys. I always bring him back nerdy cool items from conventions, like a Grifball plushie from RTX, and Grunt plushies from Halofest, so he gets the idea that mama does something with gaming people everywhere. Let me tell you, that kid may not be able to hold a "normal" conversation, but he can seriously shoot his way through some Halo.
5) No.
