FRIENDS,

WE ARE IN A CRISIS SITUATION. THE MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION DOES NOT WORK. HALO 5 LOOKS RIDICULOUS. AS OF NOW THERE IS A VERY REAL DANGER THAT THE MEMORY OF HALO -- AND OF FUN ITSELF -- COULD BE LOST FOREVER. ACTION MUST BE TAKEN.

I'VE ORDERED ALL AVAILABLE TSD PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES TO BE DIRECTED TOWARD THE PLANNING AND EXECUTION OF AN EMERGENCY CUSTOM GAME NIGHT TO REMIND US OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO PLAY HALO WHEN HALO WAS HALO.

THE NIGHT WILL CONSIST OF CLASSIC-ISH GAMES ON CLASSIC-ISH MAPS FOR SOME CLASSIC-ISH FUN. SLAYER, ODDBALL, CTF, KOTH, WITH A FEW SPICY TSD CREATIONS THROWN IN FOR VARIETY.

PRIOR TO GAME NIGHT, SECRET DECODER RINGS WILL BE ISSUED TO ATTENDEES. IN THE EVENT 343 INDUSTRIES FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS AND SHUTS US DOWN, TSD WILL USE ITS SHADOW COMM NETWORK TO ISSUE A TOP-SECRET COMMUNIQUE CONTAINING THE LOCATION OF OUR RENDEZVOUS WHICH CAN BE REVERSE-DE-DECRYPTED USING YOUR RING.

WE WILL HAVE FUN EVEN IF IT KILLS US.

IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS AND WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US, RSVP BY REPLYING TO THIS THREAD WITH YOUR GAMERTAG AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED IN THE EVENT YOU ARE ASSASSINATED BY A HIGH-VELOCITY DORITO CHIP TO THE JUGULAR.

GOOD LUCK

SCHOOLY D
