Mail Sack 23. Bungie Day is Coming.

[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid32137]Mail Sack 23[/url] is live. Get thee to the Bungie Blog to reap and rejoice. We will have one more Mail Sack before Bungie Day. Your creative challenge rests on the impending celebration. Bungie Day, after all, is a creation of the community. We have seized the reins and made it our own, but the tradition of recognizing the community of passionate gamers who dance to the beat of our drum falls on a date selected by people just like you. BUNGIE DAY IS COMING. That is your challenge. I have submitted the caption. You generate the image. It can be a photograph that reminds you of the Bungie Community. It can be an illustration that captures your emotional response to the tagline. It can be a sketch, a carving, a sculpture, a screenshot, a video, a song, or some painstakingly folded origami. Choose the artistic medium that you prefer. Whatever the end-result, those words must appear in your creation. Remember, this is about you - not us. Seven Finalists will win some collectibles that we have in reserve. One Winner will be selected by Bungie to win a bag of swag. You have until Monday at High Noon (that's our Noon, not yours) to submit your entry. Our favorites will appear in Mail Sack 24. Step lively. And, have a nice weekend.

  • Art shmart, I wrote a story. [u][b]My submission below:[/b][/u] [quote]Once upon a time, in a land known as Bungie, there lived an ancient civilisation known as the Mythics. The Mythics were a wise, powerful race, who never fell victim to poor knowledge, and grammar attacks. The Mythics were not a vast race, tallying just over 500-strong. Living beside the Mythics were the Normals. The Normals looked up to the Mythics for guidance and help, but over time, the Normals grew impatient and demanded more than their fair share from the Mythics. The Mythics managed to hold the forces of the Normals back, suppressing them into an unnatural calm. Some rebelled, leaving the realm, to travel to the outlands. These few created a horrible, evil race, known as the Floodians. The Floodians wreaked havoc amongst the Normals and were only just held back by the Mythics. Higher members of the Mythic council, deemed Ninjas, soon put an end to the rioting and restored peace once again. However, the Mythics were few in a sea of millions, and as the numbers of the Normals grew, the Mythics did not. Soon there was risk of a catastrophic war, which the Mythics had little chance of winning alone. So, they sent the Ninjas to the depths of Bungie's wilderness, to find the lone warrior who's very look could turn those men of steel into disembodied souls. The one they called, Achronos. Achronos was a fearsome warrior, and had fought in many fierce battles. He had struck down the many rebels of the Floodian army and destroyed entire civilisations in seconds. One such example was the great clan of the H3 Beta - a small, yet eager to learn group of unfortunates. Their leadership had been infested with Floodians, and so he destroyed them all. As the Ninjas left the holy land of the Mythics, something terrible happened. The Floodians saw the chance to strike and acted quickly. The Mythics remained strong, but some fell to the bastards of the Flood. After a tense battle, the Mythics had triumphed, using command paradoxes to destroy their inferior machinery. The Mythics had once again restored order, but their forces were heavily weakened. The Ninjas had a far easier time finding the great Achronos. In fact, he was found in a small village within the Admin forest, which was full of the greatest warriors of all time. When the Ninjas spoke of the Floodian threat, few of the warriors seemed interested. However, three decided to aid the Mythics in the final battle against the Floodians. These brave warriors were Urk the Terrible, DeeJ the Almighty, and Achronos the Omnipotent. The warriors began to return to the Mythic holy land, but they feared it could have been too late. As the Ninjas and their new comrades returned, they saw the brutal damage done by the Floodians. They were outraged and called for a drastic measure. One which rivalled the great banning several years before. They had decided to destroy the Floodian homeland, once and for all. But for this, they would need someone even more powerful than Achronos and his brave warriors combined. Yes, the fabled Webmaster. Some say he is a giant spider, while others insist that he is just a scientist living in his mother's basement. It didn't matter what he was - his skills were needed. The Ninjas splintered into two teams after concluding they would need to keep some behind to retain order. The few who were selected for this new journey were dubbed Master Ninjas by the Admin warriors. The Master Ninjas, along with Achronos, set out for a final time, to the land of the Forbidden Access. They passed the horrific lair of the sleeping Moderators, encountering many fearsome enemies as they travelled. The great System Error monster, the deadly 404-legged Crash lizard, the daemonic headless dog Ling Ling; all fell to the Master Ninjas. It was not long before they reached the small hut housing the Webmaster. Achronos approached the door, and knocked quickly. The door slid open and the smell of body odour and wet fur blew past the Ninjas, dazing them slightly. Inside, a lone figure sat at a chair, with an old Macintosh computer on the desk in front of him. The figure turned and faced Achronos. He lifted his cowboy hat, and made a few loud grunts, signalling Achronos to speak. "We have come to ask you to destroy the Floodians. They have ruined our way of life, and threaten to create havoc in our peaceful world!" he said. The Webmaster simply nodded, then turned to his computer. A few seconds later, he turned back, and spoke: "It is done." Once the Ninjas returned to the holy Mythic land, bearing the good news, the Normals and the Mythics joined each other in celebration of the defeat of the great enemy. However, their festivities were not going to be long-lived. For you see, on the other side of Mount Server, a much greater threat had awoken. The ground began to tremble, and the sky blackened. The entire population of Bungie stopped in their tracks, and looked into the sky in horror. Some shrieked in fear, but the Admin warriors knew not to panic. DeeJ turned to the masses and announced: "Fear not, my brothers, FOR BUNGIE DAY IS COMING!"[/quote] [Edited on 07.01.2012 2:40 PM PDT]
