As for the letter itself and the group it represents, I enjoyed the letter more as a satirical look into the mind of a gaming fanatic than serious entreaty to aid a noble cause. If you don't see something there, you are still welcome to send an e-mail to myself or Matt Soell . Loyal Bungie fans, stay loyal to Bungie, stay Loyal to The Man, as we have no intention of abandoning you. Fanatics, go home. Well you get the idea.
Someone goes away, they come back, their account is locked.
Well, be that as it may, a little digging usually reveals that before going away, the owner of the account usually lent it to a friend, or had done so in the past. Now, not to inspire a Mulder-esqe paranoia in you, dear denizens of bungie.net, but the fact is that most people are less inclined to take care of things that are not their own. At the very least, they're not going to take the same kind of care of your stuff as you would. So, it's a good idea not to lend your friends your account any more than it would be to lend them your credit card or your collection of Tiffany Stained Glass. Perhaps you are going to give it to them after extracting a promise that it will have earned 200 points while you were away.
