Okay boys and girls, the time has arrived. Voting for the next edition of the flood history is beginning.
Before we begin.. please reference the 3rd edition found [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post?id=63531969]here.[/url] Special thanks to Squirrel Dude, the flood timeline, and previous members of the community for their contributions.
This is how it's going to work..
[b]1) [/b][b][u]Any suggestions for new additions to the history will be added here in a reply.[/u][/b] (Please include any links you may have and at least an approximate time frame for the event. Exact dates preferred.)
[b]2) [/b][b][u]Add comments to replies stating if you support or oppose the suggestion.[/u][/b] (though this will be a fun time to reminisce, please be sure to make responses clear about whether or not you are supporting them, then nostalgia all you want.)
[b]3)[/b] [b][u]Two weeks from today (June 3) voting will end and the items with the majority of replies in support will be added to the upcoming 4th edition.[/u][/b] Please do not get upset if your suggestion does not make it into this edition, not all will make it, I'm sure.. and there will be a new edition each year as long as my old bones allow me to continue.
This is also our time to review the current history as it stands. Any items on the 3rd edition that you feel doesn't deserve to be there should be addressed now. Make your case as to why it should be removed, and if the majority agrees.. it's gone.
This is our history, folks. This is how members ten years from now will hear about our accomplishments and general shenanigans long after we are gone. And it will only be remembered for as long as we choose to tell the stories.
Yes, it's silly to carry this on. Yes, it's ultimately inconsequential. And yes, some of these events probably shouldn't be remembered fondly. But it's our history, goddammit.
Let's make sure no one ever forgets us.
~~EDIT~~
[b]I feel I should add some criteria to narrow down the suggestions a bit..[/b]
1) [b]Suggestions should be about events that either happened in the flood, or was organized by it.[/b] Lots of cool stuff has happened in other parts of the site.. but those are for another project.
2)[b] Suggestions for individual member accomplishments will be omitted.[/b] We're looking for things that happened as a community. Though it may have been totally awesome the time you pwnd so-and-so in a debate, that's not the kind of stuff this project is for.
[u][b]Popular suggestions so far[/b][/u]
1) Floodfic revival
2) Donger Day
3) "Floof"/ "Offtopite"
4) 10th anniversary
5) Last to post wins
6) LonePaul's fishy tale
~~Edit2~~
All done folks. Thanks for everyone who participated. I'll tally up the suggestions and have the 4th edition ready sometime in the near-ish future.

They were kind of just knock off porch day threads, but does anyone remember all those lawnmower/wood-chipper threads.

For example "the only [insert here] is yourself" which was started by him that caught on with the other members.

5 RepliesYou should mention something about [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_OFFICIAL-39Bring-Space-Narwhals-to-Destiny39-Petit/en/Forum/Post?id=64738960&path=1]flying narwhals[/url]. It was started by me about a year ago (I think) in one of the early MailSack questions threads (which unfortunately is now deleted), I think it was somewhere between the third and the sixth MailSack threads. I asked Deej the question "Will there be any flying narwhals in Destiny?" with [url=https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5426300/il_fullxfull.301332446.jpg]this picture[/url]. After a few months of asking the same question in every MailSack that I could I changed the picture to [url=http://i.imgur.com/6BjLCM6.jpg]this one[/url]. And in the [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post?id=64736433&sort=1]05/02/2014[/url] [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11500]Bungie Weekly Update[/url] DeeJ finally answered my question.

Maybe Dhutah's [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_let-the-thread-die/en/Forum/Post?id=61026138#referred-]let the thread die[/url] thread, it went strong for several months before getting switched to All topics where it has only seen the occasional bump. I know we are kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here, but I feel we need to make more than just a couple entries.

Floof and Offtopite both came and went in less than a month with little residual effect. It really doesn't deserve to be there.
