Yes, we would love to have everyone down at B5D for this wonderful event. We can't wait to see you guys!
Who would of thought? This is an extremely good cause, and I actually might participate. Not only will I enjoy myself, but it will go to a good cause. I'll spread the word around, notifying my friends, and alerting random players. Excellent work here man. I thank you and your administration for creating such a generous gift to children at need.
what are the game times? Because I have school on the 1st and 2nd... So if they are during the day I can't do it. I'd like to though, and I am trying to register a B5D accout, but it's not really working. idk why.
"vBulletin Message chung_wii, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: 1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? 2.

Log Out Home" Idk what the problem is, and my CPU downstairs shuts down whenever I want to go to the B5D site... it just shuts the browser down... my cpu upstairs at leased lets me get to B5D, but once I get there all i get is that...^ I just made this account so, yeah... Wtf, I need help and I want to help the event, but I cant If this doesn't get worked out...
Can people outside the US enter? Also if you make another video, don't bob their heads. No-one nods when they talk. Not like that anyway. But yeah it looks interesting and it helps charity. Just as well, giving out recon costs Bungie nothing so it's be pretty cheap of them to take money from us...
the reason it looks liek their head is bobbing so much is because they all have swords, swords make the head motion more excessive. and I agree with the recon thing, it doesn't cost them money. It still is a very good cause, and I'd love recon if i could get it, that's why i'm going to play. My only concern is the fact that If i don't "win", I won't get a prize. I am only a captain grade 3, so I have no "real" chance of winning, I'll try anyways though. I think they shoud award some to players with good attitide, or players who just go out and play, even though they are not good. I have another question for Mister Magoo, can we enter a 4v4 tourney withought a team, and then just join people who are doing the same as you to form a team? Or do you HAVE to form your own???
I dont wish to enter because im not a very awesome player, but is there a way to just donate money to it?
The sign-up threads aren't open yet. You see that message because you were linked to a closed forum. They will be up in a matter of days. You can donate without entering if you wish, but donating will get you a place anyway if you wish to take it. Recon will be awarded for other unanounced reasons too. It could be anything from most suicides to funniest WTF moment in the tourney. Also, there are obstacle courses and BUNGLE Brackets to enter too. I believe that people outside the US can enter, but I have no idea. Bungie is taking no money from us. Every cent of the money raised will go straight to various childrens charities. Bungie are simply donating recon and although it doesn't cost them any money, it is still an unbelievably awesome prize.
Ok I have a few questions How do you pay? I dont have a Paypal acc so if thats the method then Im out. What are the times? Someone said Bungie may give Recon to the highest donator, So i can buy my way into recon?
It is paypal, sorry. The times are posted on the HUD Webpage. I said that 3 sets of recon will be given out for mysterious unnanounced criteria. We haven't decided what they will be yet, but we will not be announcing it until after the tourney. That is if we decide to announce what the criteria was, of course.
I know it says the days that it is on, but it doesn't say the "play times", My thinking is that you need to have all of the players set up and ready before you set up times, if that's okay then i'm in... If my parents still believe me that this isn't a scam... Then I'll be in in a heartbeat. It looks like fun, and I'll try to practice for it, even though i'll still loose. lol. I'll just go out and have fun! Cant' wait! (I haven't paed yet BTW)
The days have been given already. I am pretty sure that the events will run the whole day, as there will be many matches going on. Oh, and good luck.
I'm confused, It says " 05/30/09 - Sign Up HERE 06/01/09 - Registration 06/02/09 - Registration 06/05/09 - Tournament Day 06/06/09 - Tournament Day 06/07/09 - Tournament Day 06/12/09 - Tournament Day 06/13/09 - Tournament Day 06/14/09 - Tournament Day" What do we have to do for registration, I will be at school on both the 1st and 2nd, so if we need to be there during the day, I can't. What do we have to do for registration???
