It looks as though my profile birthday has come around once again. It hardly feels like 9 years but there you have it. Next year shall be even more of a celebration as I tick over to Ten! In truth my journey with Bungie began a few years prior to what is emblazoned upon my vanity badge and it has been a very long and at times quite bumpy journey. In summarry, my 'birthday' wishes are: 1)Peace on Earth 2) Peace on Earth under my dominion 3)Pizza. Pizza for everyone 4)Everyone to have some kind of beverage in celebration of 9 years or something 5)Have a Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals... 6)...And a safe and prosperous new year :). 7) Tru7h. Carnage. Bungie (of old) 8) Last but not least, my S/O to leave me some Salt and Vinegar chips. She reks those m8. ( I love you bub, don't hate me!) [i]Now for the long bit[/i] As we begin our next orbit of Sol, hurtling uncontrolled and at phenomenal speeds through what we perceive as time and space, I hope that in the year known as Two Thousand plus Fifteen that we as an online community, can regain the ground that's been lost. It is true that the calamity that exists now is to be expected, but at times it feels as though our online identity has been changed and the things that made our little corner of the internet special, dispersed, just like the Elemental discs of Perathia in Azurik. Although I am not as active as I would like, I call upon the veterans of our community to shape and guide the newer members, and to collectively take back the magical Elemental Disks of Perathia, just like in Azuri... uh I mean bring back the community flare that made us so fun. Bring back the standards, bring back the Title Elitism that guided newer members and made them respect your authortay. Exalted [b]Mythics[/b], by the POWER OF GREYSKULL! FROG BLAST THE VENT CORE! Be safe over the Holidays everyone. Have a nip of Rum on my behalf to take the edge off the cold and if you are too young to drink, make a cup of tea and just pretend ;) <3 Ben.
