A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!
Chapter

I know what you're thinking, "We've talked about these before and they just don't work. We are too many and too far apart". Well, I have though of a cool idea and I'd like to see how it is received by the community. I think most of us would agree that having a community gathering would be pretty amazing, but the problem is setting a date and a location that everyone, or at least most of us, would be able to attend. I think I may have a solution for this and I call it, "Bungie.world/[location]".

The idea is that we could celebrate around the world without really having to travel far. We could have a celebration locally. For us in the U.S. it could be held in every state, possibly in the state capital, and those located outside the U.S. could use the same tactic so they don't have to travel here. This is where the, "[location]" part in the title comes in. For example, I live in California so our celebration would be named, "Bungie.world/california".

On paper this sounds like an organization nightmare but it could easily organized, if work together and use the tools provided for us that is. We could possibly use b.net to select a host for every location, someone who has the time and is willing to put in the effort to organize this. But what would we do? Well, anything really. It doesn't have to be at some big convention center, it could easily take place at the host's home or even a rec center where we could have LANs, food, and music. This would be the most difficult part of all of this but we could fundraise if we really wanted to do this.

I have also thought about a good date for all of this, we could celebrate this on Bungie Day. We could celebrate throughout the world all at once so that symbolically, Bungie has taken over the world for that one day.

I have come up with this idea on my own so cut me some slack, it's only an idea after all. I realize that this would be pretty difficult to organize but if we ever managed to pull this off it would be pretty great.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

I remember having a barbecue with a few lads from Bnet. It was great.

OT: Sounds awesome. But will your plan work? I'm having doubts about this already.

I like the idea, but we'd need to have Bungie behind us. I wouldn't mind hosting but there are a lot of great Bnet New Yorkers.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

That is really ironic.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

If Bungie pays for my ticket. I live in Wyoming. Its almost a grand to fly out of this state.

Bungie's ultamate plan of world domination, finally taiking shape?
I like it.
It would be difficult. Fundraising, the location, somewhere in each capitol we could put everyone. But how many whould show up? We would need some organization, like different groups for each state event. Like, for example, Bungie.world[California] would be the group name for you. And one main group to help organize it all. That would be a good way to help orginaze this I think. We would have to be determained to get this done. But the next Bungie Day is enough time for planning I think. And a great choice of time.
Great idea man.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I'm not sure how many Bungie fans live in Wisconsin. I live 15 minutes away from Madison, so it would be convenient for me to go to this gathering. I'm down.

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

Bungie just needs a bigger booth at Pax.
