Attention Halo Nation. It is my most somber duty to inform you of a veiled threat in our midst. A phantom menace, if you will.

They call themselves Le Mediocrity. During the mad dash to Halo 3, they were able to migrate an entire clan with success – a feat that bested dozens of communities of gamers. Throughout their travels, they even found time to introduce themselves using machinima.

Charming aren’t they? Beware that charm, ye who games. It is their most cunning weapon. You are looking at the only clan – to date – that has defeated the TTL Gunslingers in a custom clan challenge for Halo 3 [not that we are keeping track or anything].

Le Mediocrity, thy name is a ruse!

With a Trojan Horse of humor and humility, they lured us into a false sense of pride. Hidden within the language of their challenge was a seduction into catastrophe. Were they to be believed, TTL was the tyranical lion to their lovable kitten of a community.

We fell for it – hook, line, and sniper rifle. We fielded our nicest, most fun-loving players. We chose forgery games with silly names like “Junkyard” and “Spikeball”.

And we got smoked. We were the hams in their locker. We were the tobacco in their pipe.

Keep an eye out for this clan. They are too nice for their own good. The Gunslingers said that they had a marvelous time facing off against this crew. I know better. I was not there to be manipulated by kind words and empty flattery. This community leader will not be fooled again.

After all, you can’t enjoy a game that you don’t win.

I mean, can you?

Le Mediocrity trolls the environs of Xbox Live. Beware! They are likely coming for all of us! One at a time…
