This is a personal decision of mine (El Burninator), to give it a little [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaQ5jZANSe8]more personality[/url] and prevent the content from getting stale. Enjoy, if you’re in to that kind of thing.

We murdered his son, I would be mad too. Why did Crota need to be murdered? Why did Eris even need to go into the Pit? Crota was minding his own business when Eris tried to kill him. She got what she deserved. #ErisisaJerk[/quote] The hive did happen to invade the moon due to Oryx's will, and Oryx sent Crota as the main god for the job. Plenty of guardians died. Granted, two wrongs don't make a right, but the Traveler doesn't care. #TinFoilHat #EvilTraveler [b]Born A Beast[/b] asks: [quote]Why aren't their fallen humans or guardians?[/quote] This would be an interesting concept to explore. I always liked the idea of some sort of Guardian rebellion. Maybe Destiny will evolve into such a scenario. [b]FXJ[/b] asks: [quote]How do the hive reproduce? Do they have necrotic birds and bees?[/quote] "The hive do not reproduce. They are 'space zombies'. The worms they consume allow the hive to continuously live. The hive multiply through the darkness taking over other species." - Charlemagne's paraphrased words. #SecretsOfDestiny [b]II Smiggles II[/b] asks: [quote]On a serious note What is the intent of these mail sacks How do you plan to incorporate more of the community to prevent this from becoming a circle jerk between those involved in its creation and what it contributes to? You all put so much time and effort into mail sack/supdate and I find it to not invoke much reaction from the user base. Are you guys aware of this?[/quote] This is a good question because many people do not understand why a mail sack exists. It's a community event. Any and all parts of the community can ask questions (silly or serious) to the mail sack host. Frankly, I leave it to the community members to do as they please with their questions. The Seventh Conflux prides itself on being a community hub that preserves the Seventh Column's idea of "I cam for the games, but I stayed for the community." The mail sack is an extension of that. It's an idea adopted from Bungie and is a means for anyone to hop in and start a connection with a group of people. The group is small, but the relationships formed between people can be huge. You should know that, as you were invited to a smaller portion of this community and welcomed into a group project with big intentions. The idea will not take over by storm, but it does allow bonds to form. You may call the mail sack "circle jerk" and you may be right. However, this "circle jerk" or "clubhouse" is open to anyone. Its reach will go as far as the members want to make it. It's a game shaped by anyone asking the questions. It's a part of a small community segment for someone to look forward to every week. It can open the door for more involvement with others. It can be anything. If anyone wants to help in the creation of the weekly update, Burn is looking for little helpers. If anyone has ideas for portions of the update, including the mail sack, please contribute. This is a community project, and we look forward to community ideas and contributions. Anyway, as always, ask away, ask away, ask away... See you all soon. [b][u]Game Night Recap![/u][/b] These week had a couple of Game Nights that (surprisingly) just didn't happen. Let's check it out.
