HUMPDAY CHALLENGE WITH BUNGIE!
RelentlessRecusant has corresponded with Bungie, and we have sworn to fight them in a Humpday Challenge. See the letter exchange here!

Power Cord incident - Wednesday the 7th?
Bungie was set to play Team Halopedia on Wednesday Feb 7th, 2007 but the game fell through; below is why:


 * 1) KPaul and RR agreed to meet on 8pm PST (11 pm EST).
 * 2) KPaul added RR to his friend's list.
 * 3) RR's Xbox 360 developed technical problems, and was unable to get online until 11:32 pm. RR messaged KPaul, apologizing for his stupid X360's power cord and asking if they were still online.
 * 4) The rest of the Halopedia Team and Bungie were lounging around until RR got online, but Bungie got tired of waiting and left.
 * 5) KPaul messaged RR back saying that Bungie had already left, but RR didn't get this message until after 12:00.
 * 6) The Halopedia team wasted time until after 12:00, were getting mad at Bungie for "ditching them", when actually, it was RR's Xbox 360's power cord's fault, and then left sometime after 12:00.

What's most important: RR is still in communications with KPaul, and the game has been rescheduled to sometime Wednesday night next week. Every plasma stick has a silver lining. Ehh...umm...not a very fun one, anyways. =D Yes, that was a deliberate messing up of the phrase.

I, RR, apologize for my Xbox 360's power cord, and have apologized twice to Bungie about this occurence and has offered to be slain by his fellow Halopedians. =S =D ;D

Cheers,

Blue Offense #1
Summary: A learning curve that invisibility has its uses

The setting was dank, the air rank and rancid with spore-forms, and the atmosphere rife for bloodshed. The XBL server randomly chose Blue Team to attack first, and so they did with initial confusion. There was some bickering between RR and Donut about who'd take the bomb, and what weapons to use. Eventually, it was decided that RR was the better one (PWNED, Donut! =D), and Donut grudgingly took the bomb.

Here, RR's tactical mind failed him, as he opted for a serpentine approach through the right side of the swamp, dogging the way through the infested trees with a low-profile crouch and a shottie. Donut chose to run through the central tower...the most direct path to Red Base.

RR prepped himself with a shotgun as his bomb-toting compatriot ran through the tower, and spotted Climax Void and his two guests prowling the area. He was overconfident (Blue Team had won 2 outta 2 previous games against Red Team), and charged with his shottie...uh-oh. The combined force of three SMGs broke him into cover, and he played a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Relentless, Relentless constantly dodging behind a small outpost and a cluster of trees, trying to evade Red Team and lure them into range of his shottie. Eventually, however, he found an opportunity, dashed at one of CV's guests...to find himself in the open and the range too far to kill that guestie-persony-thingy. (Yes, a pun!)

However, his martyrdom was not in vain, for Donut was able to dash to the enemy base without interference from Red Team, which was gloating over RR's corpse. However, they actually thought of the diversionary ruse, and were headed back to their unguarded base...to find...BOMB ARMED. But there was no one and no motion tracker pip!

Donut had discovered an Active Camo within the tower...very convenient for slipping past enemy defenses and bombing their bases unscathed.

- BOMB ARMED.

- BOMB PLANTED!

- ROUND OVER.

Red Offense #1
Summary: Swords are good. Very good.

One of CV's guests took the bomb, and the other two hitched along for the ride, going under the Fallen Sword Tree and the Carbine spawn, making their way to Blue Base. Blue Team had a problem with that, so Donut looped around the other way 'round the Tower, snagged the Sword, and owned the bomb carrier, and then, with RR's late-arriving help, CV and the second guest.

The rest of that round was basically RR and Donut babysitting the bomb under the shadow of that primordial, rotten tree, RR with his Carbine and Donut with his Brute Shot (acquired from the Tower, 50% discount). It was mostly RR that did the work (oww...oww, STOP KICKING ME DONUT!), as Donut's HE grenades normally went a bit too low...but...uhh...(thinking of some trivial way to honor Donut here...) Donut supplied doughnuts for the Canadian chaps of Red Team to eat...haha not funny?

On a more serious note, CV's Red Team was surprisingly tenacious, using their SMGs to great effect...but unable to dislodge the two adamant defenders of the bomb. The Redders got close enough for Donut to whip out his sword and dice him, but after the worst of Red's offensive for the bomb died down, the round thankfully ended for the two unshielded Bluers (is that a word?) under the tree.

Blue Offense #2
Summary: End Program.

This was rather straightforward.

Red Team was very cautious this time after Donut skip-bombed them last time Blue had the attack, and just stuck at their base like plasma grenades to hapless Grunts. No matter. Blue Team was more than happy to indulge their cautiousness with a relentless attack. Literally.

As Donut took his traditional route, making a beeline for the Tower, Active Camo, and straight towards the bomb's resting place, RR, a bit faster, looping around the Tower to the Fallen Sword Tree, took the sword, found himself conveniently close to the enemy base, and moved in, Donut lagging a bit behind them. When he crested the hill, he found a vengeful CV with an esoteric Sentinel Beam and his two guests perched with SMGs behind the hill. Three sword lunges, three kills, one big BANG as the bomb went off.

"Bomb went off." It makes Blue Team sound like terrorists...although we did terrorize Red Team, I think.

Red Offense #2
"Hey, Donut, is that Sentinel Beam any good...?!"

- RelentlessRecusant

RR decided for an innovative approach: the almighty Sentinel Beam, while Donut got the bomb and ran through the Tower, taking the Active Camo en route. RR, meanwhile, took a little detour, taking a shotgun on the side of the beaten path-swamp-malaria thing.
