Bungie.net Writing Contest (With fabulously lackluster prizes!!)

Here ye, writers of the Bungie community: I challenge you all to write me a story. A story of love and hate. Passion and desire. Of good vs evil, and the struggle of all mankind. I want this story to be the greatest combination of words the world has ever seen. It must make us laugh, and it must make us cry. This story will be scrutinized by the highest authority of everything that is everything.. the Bnet community. Your story will be held to the highest standards of literary genius, and if your work succeeds, you'll be modestly rewarded with your choice of one of two Xbox Live arcade codes I happen to have lying around. (The Maw, Robotron: 2084) Are you up to the challenge? If so, here are the rules.. 1) The hero/heroes of the story must include a member of the web team and mod team. 2) The villain/villains of the story must include a member of the web team and mod team. 3) All other characters in the story must be Bnet members and/or celebrities, musicians, famous fictional characters, etc. [b]Keep it clean-ish, and keep it fun. Outright flaming, bigotry, etc will disqualify your entry.[/b] Voting: To vote for your favorite story, reply to the story with a "+1". Feel free to comment on the story however you like, but your comment will only count as a vote if it begins with "+1". This way, you can change your vote later if you need to by editing out the "+1" from your previous choice. Duplicate votes by a poster will be ignored completely, resulting in none of them counting. I will reserve my vote to resolve any tie-breaker needs we may come across. Whichever story has the most votes on the deadline of [b]Sunday, January 5th[/b] will be crowned victorious and given the choice of codes. (The runner-up will be offered the remaining code.) Do it for glory. Do it for power. Do it for an arcade game you probably won't play, but what the hell it's free, right? LET THE GAMES BEGIN! [b]~~ Game Over, Man! ~~[/b] First, I'd like to thank everyone who participated. You guys provided some creative and hilarious stories over the last week. I'm sorry we didn't get a bit more interaction, but at least a few of us had a great time reading your work. The contest ends with a tie between DE4THINC4RN4TE and ChorrizoTapatio, each with a very manly vote count of one vote a piece. DE4Th provided us a insider's look at the release of Bungie.next, while Chorrizo offered a tale of war amongst the ranks. Due to the tie.. I will be the deciding vote. It's a tough choice, and each story deserves a place on the shelf next to any great work of literature... but ultimately, I chose Chorrizo's because of the inclusion of average Bnet members and a twist ending that made M. Night Shayamalan himself wake in a cold sweat. Congratz, Chorrizo! I'll PM you in a second with your choice of codes. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this, I hope everyone had a good time.

  • The cold winter winds had began to take their toll on DeeJ, Urk, and their troops as they awaited the return of the scouts and the uneasy feeling amoung them grew. "They should be back by now.." True Underdog mumbled. A murrmur of agreement was heard through the huddle of troops and then DeeJ, after many silent hours, spoke. "It's a long trip, but you're right TU. It shouldn't have taken this long. CamCamm, I need you to gather a small squad to go search for them while the rest of us return to base for a beer and maybe some pizza..maybe." CamCamm gathered her thoughts and tried to think of some words that would culminate her concern. Finally, she responded: "K." Back at their military stronghold, DeeJ and Urk reflected upon this awful war. "How could he have betrayed us like this..how could Halcylon stab us in the back like this? All because we said that Star Trek is a little better than Star Wars?!" DeeJ exclaimed with fury. "Calm down, brother. Although he has gone down the path of darkness we can still save him. Our Ginger Mafia will surely get us to his doorstep, and once we are there we will knock. And if after 30 seconds he doesn't answer, we will ring the doorbell! And if he still doesn't answer we'll knock a couple more times and wait another 30 seconds!" "But, Urk, what if he still doesn't answer after that..?" "Then I guess we'll just come back later or something because I mean, if we keep knocking or ringing the doorbell then we're being rude and that's totally stooping down to his level." They nodded in agreement but before they could fist bump CamCamm bursted through the door. Still trying to catch her breathe, she managed to let out a "K." "K, what..?" DeeJ questioned. "K, we found Recon and Foman. They're in bad shape but we got the informantion." She responded. Foman and Recon had done their job well and discovered that Hal's evil army was in some dumbass moving castle that looked like an abomimation and to celebrate they got wasted and lost in the woods. But CamCamm found them so it was all good. Now DeeJ and Urk's Ginger Mafia advanced on the stupid castle. Many ninjas and members were lost, but finally they managed to arrive at the chamber that Hal lingered in. They knocked once and Lord Revan answered. "Hey guys, come on in. We got beer and pizza." But DeeJ and Urk knew better, so they punched Revan in the gut and proceeded to pull his shirt over his head, and then punched him again. To be honest, it was a little uncalled for. Finally they met Hal face-to-face. "Sup, dinks." He said. "Dinks? That's rude. C'mon Hal, can we please end all this bloodshed? It's ridiculous man." DeeJ pleaded. "No!" Hal exclaimed " Star Trek freakin blows and Star was is amazing. I will never give in to the dark side." "Wait..what?" said Urk "I thought you were the dark side?" "Nooooooo. You and DeeJ are totally the dark side. I was just trying to watch Star Wars in my badass moving castle and you guys just start killing all my men, and for God's sake man you guys hockey-punched Lord Revan after he offered you food. You're the dark side, not me." Hal responded. Then DeeJ and Urk looked at one another and DeeJ mummbled, " Oh yeahhhh...". Then as they remembered they were the bad guys they both turned their attention towards Hal and beat him up. After knocking him unconcious they tied him to a chair and forced him to watch Star Trek for the remainder of his life, and they all lived happily ever after. The end.
