"Greetings, weary travelers."
/fictional story welcome


So, you may ask "What inspired you to come up with a notion as abstract as a Bungie Birthday Button?". Well, let me tell you.

So today, Oct. 2, is my birthday. Light the candles, eat a cake, throw a party. As I was sitting in school, contemplating things other than why I'm learning how to do factoring in an advanced math class, I got to thinking:

How could I let the Community know of my excitement of being on this earth for another year without being off-topic, yet presenting an intriguing idea?

Then it hit me: The Bungie Birthday Button.

Bungie-relating to the website, users, etc..
Birthday- Years after date of birth celebrating your existence and
Button- because it's catchy, and could be represented by a little blue septagon on the front of your profile.

Cue explanation and reasoning.

This could be added to Bungie.next, and could be implemented on either a personal or public user calendar. The calendar itself could have different tabs, like Community Carnage events, Ride alongs, Birthdays, the works.

We could then imput our date of birth (and age if wanted) and reminders could be added to our Bungie.net profile. Different 'buttons' (again, represented by different colored septagons like gold or blue.) would be 'pinned' to your profile, giving you reminders on upcoming events, or saying messages like "Happy Birthday, Unanimate Objec! No steak for you!"

Some of you may say "I like the simplicity of Bungie as is, and don't see a need of a worthless addition like this".

Well, to counter that argument, I'd say "There's always room for new additions, and besides, this doesn't have to be public (unless wanted by mass appeal) and would only appear on the public calendar and your profile. If Bungie wants ideas, then ideas they shall have.

On a side note, maybe Birthdays could be represented by an animated Septagon shooting off fireworks. Anything's possible.


So, what are your thoughts on the concept of different events, like a birthday or ridealong, (represented by a Bungie calendar, different from the Community's) pinned to your profile after your requesting to be notified?

TL;DR: ^ Read that, and happy early birthday.

Hmm. You mean real life birthdays or Bungie.net account birthdays?

In that case no thanks. I'll keep my birth date off the main forums.

To clarify, it can either be real life or account birthday. I was actually thinking more account than anything else.

And for everyone else, we are supposed to be discussing the concept of pinning notices to your profile you've chosen to recognize from a Bungie-made calendar that would come with B.next.

That's kind of a cute idea. I like it. The BBB thing just makes me think Big Black Bear though. A little forum flare in that way sounds neat.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

That would be nice, it would give us something to do during this darkness.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Considering this is a very easy one to know, this idea demands a name change. I propose... Well, actually I have no idea for a better name. Give me five minutes, I'll have something.

  • 10.03.2012 7:46 AM PDT

This ia a great idea!



























































Pick a new acronym.
