Don't worry about how Bungie makes their choices. Surely the process for becoming a BNM (Bungie.net Moderator) will be similar to becoming a BNA back in the good old days. It's a wonderful mix of nepotism, beefstick™ retention, pegboi training and a fair dose of the shaft™. Not that any of that is necessarily a good thing, but basically Bungie has a system whereby nobody in their right mind should want to be a BNA or BNM and those that do accept the request to join the ranks, quickly regret it. The microwave emulator is real, boys and girls - as is the mind control ray. There have been rumors of Bungie reverse-engineering Jobs' Reality Distortion Field, but at present, nobody can verify that. I hear the footsteps of Tiny the Trow now - I better run...
