Well, I am not sure who arranged it, but CirrusStrafe (aka Simmons) has freind listed most of them, and is arranging future matches.
"But that don't confront me" because we are practiceing our asses off in preperation for our game in 2 weeks with the great makers themselves.
I personally will (without mentioning a word of compliments or complaints) exact my revenge for the cliffhanger ending on Frankie. Repeatedly.
Even though he most certainly had no say in it. he is still the main PR figurehead.
But all in all thing for us to keep in mind is to treat them as equals, not to kiss ass, or bitch/question about the game. they are gamers, like us. they don't want to be pestered, they want less talking and more killing.

Yeah, the Dolls were clear to say that they want to be treated as normal gamers, not celebrities. Although they don't mind being famous. ^_^
The Halo Humpday Challenge proposal is for Dec. 22nd, I believe.
Details are still sketchy, but they have proven interested in us.
Anim8rJB and Valkyrie FD are on my friend's list, and the Dolls are pretty cool to let anyone join them in matchmaking. Good stuff.

oh, and srry krystyn... that footage and those pictures should be up tomorrow night, I'm going to try and host them on the welovebees.com server.
Never did find that darn dazzel device, but I did manage another method, a longer method to maguivering the footage onto my computer.
Called a program called fraps, an old tuner card, a vcr, and a lot of HD space...
I just don't want to use up more than a gig of the 2 squeaky has offered for the site. So I may have to limit it to just the pictures until i can clean, compress and edit the footage so it fits and looks
*really nice*

They're probably the best ones to say who they are.

They're NOT the best ones to say who they are.
And the after-action report. Which is mostly trustworthy. Or, at least, anything you can check on the stat viewer is trustworthy...
-- Steve just corrected the typo "trustworty". Trust me. Wort-wort-wort.

Alright, I read through the "About Us" information for Fragdolls and was slightly impressed. It seemed sincere enough. Then, I read through the "About Us" information for Fragdoodz and found it to be almost a carbon copy of what the fragdolls wrote. This leads me to believe that none of these groups are real, that they are both in fact exactly what the pretend to not be: a group of pimple-faced, skinny gamers.
Honestly, some people ...

The Frag Dolls are a real group, and they do look like they do in the photos. (Or some of them do, anyway.) I've seen some pictures of them in other press, including a prior Bungie update. They are a real group, sponsored by Ubi to do PR work and to raise the profile of gaming in general. (And to break some stereotypes, like the ones you raised in your post.)
The "Frag Doodz" site is a parody of the Frag Dolls site. The folks you see there are Bungie staff. (Check the URL of their "official" site.)
-- Steve, of course, could be walking into a trap/joke of yours... but it's hard to tell on the InterWeb.
