[quote]April Fool's! I'm sure this will be a big shocker, but just to be clear: 1) "Fortune" is obviously not real and everything related to it is a joke. 2) HFCS and Bungie are not "archenemies" (clearly) and the Forum Ninjas have not demanded special treatment. 3) Bungie and the Forum Ninjas were in on every part of this joke and it was conducted only with the advance permission and supervision of the Bungie Web Team. Other prank threads should not be conducted without similar permission and supervision. So we hope you guys had fun, thanks for your patience and participation, and see you next year! :-)[/quote] It's been years in the making. It's innovative. It's a huge kick in the teeth to our archenemy, Bungie. Despite our valuable contributions around here, the Ninjas have grown sick and tired of Bungie's constant attempts to keep us down. First, they refused to give us "HFCS Armor" in Halo 3 (it would've been better and rarer than Recon, like we deserve). Then, they refused our demands for infinite armor lock in Reach. Finally, Bungie refused to give us invulnerability and special powers in Destiny, despite the fact that they took away all of our invulnerability and special powers on the forums. Bungie will pay for its grave transgressions. And as a result, HFCS is proud to announce FORTUNE™, the game! "They will become legend, and you will help."™ [quote]The stories tell of a renaissance age long ago, when humankind's civilization spanned across the system. It was a bright and hopeful time. But it didn't last. Something attacked us. Hurt us and tried to cause our extinction. Very few of us survived, and those that did owe their lives to the The Wanderer. Legends say The Wanderer gave up its own life so that we could live. The mysterious entity still hangs where it made its last stand, low above the Earth, keeping silent watch. Slowly we joined together to build a Metropolis beneath The Wanderer. And now we've begun to venture back into the wild, only to find that we're not alone. Strange and deadly creatures have occupied our old worlds. And they're pressing hard against The Metropolis, probing for a weakness, trying to stamp us out for good. Your story begins at this moment of great adventure and peril. You are a low-class citizen of The Metropolis; you are pretty much a slave to the mighty Ninjas, an elite group of warriors who are able to wield some of The Wanderer's incredible power and use it against you frequently. Your job is to do their bidding in their ongoing quest to save The Metropolis and increase their power and dominion over Earth and space. They will become legend, and you will help.[/quote] "[i]Fortune[/i] is a surefire winner of Game of the Year." ~Duardo "Addictive. Immersive. Exciting.
