I am getting confused on what to suggest and what not to suggest so I am going to just start adding medals with a default picture until we get one made. The placeholder should not bother anyone here, we have plenty of that going on already.

As a final note on our earlier topic 

Halo 2:

Fire Team Charlie (eventually the 105th)

Joshuas Spartans (I saw them in mm so i know they existed at this point)

Halo 3:

105th ODST Division

Orion Project

True Spartans

Joshua's Spartans (NSW as a name did not exist) 

Halo Reach: 

Joshuas Spartans Combine with the Spartan Project, which was Orion. 

Kurts True Spartans become SIIIs abd combine with us. We become Navapecwar. 

Willycypress becomes james. He and kurt have a falling out. 

Paul, myself, and joshua have a falling out. Three groups now exist. 

Theyre all combined into Navcom

This is all before that war with the UUF

Halo 4:

NSW leaves Navcom later.

I quit community. My knowledge of stuff ends here. 

 

Like I said. If anybody is looking for a drama free golden age, they might be searching a while. It is interesting that Joshua managed to write about eight other people out of history. Thats a shame. 

He definitely did write out everything in his history. In a more recent interaction ONI had with his NSW, he is very much so an idolization of what "old community" means to people, but the very same people he tells the story too don't do their own research; to no fault of their own though since most evidence or people from that era are gone and it is all just role playing in the end.

In which the grand scheme of things he will only cooperate in it if his name/brand is put out there. We haven't successfully worked with him because he is in short crazy.

What is the actual theory or are you looking for one?

Your rank does not show in the forums anymore. Is that part of the update?

Didn't look like this was a popular game.

"Perhaps you have heard of the friendship which often springs up between the Allies and their foes. I know something about it. It was at Laventie that the Germans began to amuse themselves by putting a bullseye on a biscuit box and letting us use it for a target. We then returned the compliment and set up a similar bullseye.

Every time the Germans made a bullseye, I would raise a shovel. If they missed, I put up a handkerchief. They did the same for us. And so we, who sought each other's lives, played together while death spoke sharply all around us.

We used to talk back and forth—those German boys and we Canadians. They were the 157th and most friendly. "Hi! Where do you come from?" a voice in French once called over to us. "We are French Canadians," we replied with pride. "Well, we're Canadians, too," came the astonishing answer. "We come from Ontario." There came a pause. There was no firing. Then the German shouted, "Let me see one of your group; let him stand above the trench, and on my word of honor we shall not fire." One of us sprang out of the trench and stood up. There, fell a deep silence upon the two armies. Then many stood up, and finally the Germans, too, were rising. We talked for hours.

One day the Germans threw over a bit of paper wrapped around a stone. "If you don't fire on us, we won't fire on you," some one had written. We kept that strange pact for days, until the officers, discovering this pact of peace, moved us to another part of the trenches.

Some months later, curiously enough, we found ourselves opposite the same regiment. Neither side forgot we were both Canadian, and steadfastly kept our treaty of peace. They did not consider that rough note a "scrap of paper." Not a single shot was fired and only one man was killed, and he by a stray bullet.

Because friendships started easily between hostile bodies, they kept moving a regiment from one part of the trenches to another, that we might not get too friendly with our enemies.
We had no heart in the butchery, for between Germans and Allies as individuals, there was no hate."
- Pvt. Roméo Houle, Canadian Expeditionary Force.

“My dear parents. It’s New Year’s Eve. I am thinking of home and my heart is breaking. Here everything is terrible and hopeless. Hunger, hunger, hunger, lice and dirt. Soviet planes are bombing us day and night, and the artillery fire hardly ever ceases. If there is not a miracle very soon I shall die here.

Sometimes I pray; sometimes I curse my fate. Everything just seems so pointless and absurd. When and how could we be saved from this? How can a man bear this? Is this suffering a punishment from God?

My dear parents, I should not be writing you this, but I have long since lost all my courage. I have forgotten how to laugh. I am just a shivering bundle of nerves. Everybody lives here as if they are in a trance. If I get put up before a military tribunal and shot for writing this letter, then that will be a release from suffering.

Here we have learned the full meaning of God’s word: give us this day our daily bread. I am getting 100 grams of bread a day - almost one slice. You cannot possibly imagine how that feels here, when the temperature is minus thirty-five.

I have no hope left. I ask you not to cry if you get a letter saying that I have died. Be kind to each other and thank God for every day that he gives you.”
-Corporal Bruno Kaligo - German 6th Army, Stalingrad 1943

“We had captured three Soviet soldiers in Kabul during the night and taken them to a hideout in the Morghgiran Mountain village. The next day, we offered them the chance to convert to our religion and to choose a righteous path.

The Soviets became very angry and began cursing us and insulting us. They stated ‘That there is no way back from the path chosen. Afghanistan will be communist. We will not accept you or your religion.’ They refused to cooperate.

We could not get them out of the area without cooperation on their part and we could not shoot them because the shots would draw attention from nearby security outposts.

So, we buried them all alive. We kept their uniforms and papers which we would eventually use for sabotage missions.

The next day, the Soviets surrounded the area looking for their missing men. They had a clash with some of our neighboring Mujahideen fighters. After the battle the Soviets found where we had buried the three men. They were all dead and their bodies had turned black.”
- Mohammad Humayun Shahin. Mujahideen. Soviet Afghan War. September 24th, 1983.

Every soldier has a story, and every story deserves to be told.

I told you about this why are you posting this.

I'll make a short story tag too to organize some of these.

Now this is a hot bomb to drop, I'm glad some members came forward and voiced an honest opinion. I hope they can read past what is otherwise a lengthy document. If its not my place to comment I will not as I understand my position and current rapport relative to the Non-commissioned Officers on the UNSC Razor is not a positive impact with more of the newer members especially.

Yeah I'm already on this one @Maple also volunteered and wants to help out too, he's got a good book of plays to share and likes individual training.

I actually don't think it is necessary. Simply create a tag and arrange threads by order from the two and the overall BT.

What's real, who started ONI and where did it come from?

This is something we're always questioned which to now, where the original Halo.bungie.net website is gone has effectively weakened the evidence standing for whats "real" than the culmination of all our work here in this site. I want to speak for High Command but I won't here in case anyone wants to chime in to say that we honestly do not care anymore, for our performance as ONI speaks for itself and the actions thereof coincide to what our mission is.

We are ONI

But where does this end?

Why do people start clans calling themselves ONI, CINC, CAC at some point?

I have read about some of the fuming frustrations from members being gate kept, gas lit or other, not know where to go to argue the very valid points they have. Many of the same problems I have had too with ONI where we joined, created this site and was not given equal footing to perform the duties of an officer.

I have been thinking about what better ways all members can argue, dispute current events and actions and anything clan related including the iFatalSlayer raiding the server with his insurgent group. So long as you have a solid point, a hill to stand on and die this is a place to contest that idea. While many of the people we want to be here like iFatalSlayer will not make there stand on why they allow rape jokes in their ONI, or insult our members than turn around to play the victim I believe ONI is the perfect place for an audience to any idea or problem.

Seeing most of the Halo clan centered Discord servers include an area of disputes (all that mostly devolved into memes and raid/war offenses.) I thought we could take a familiar channels name and build on what it originally meant to most people, constructively looking for the best clan and discussions thereafter.

Have you done any yet? We should get some scores in here. 

This is a great idea

Nice.

This is what was posted on the previous website.

What is a Callout?
A callout is quick piece of information you tell your teammates in a game to help them make better decisions with greater knowledge of the situations around them.



Rule Number One: "On My X"

This is a great example of a terrible callout. Why?

First, the player who is making this callout clearly did not make a good callout in time so no teammates were able to help him in his fight. It cost him and the team a death.

Second, it's not always convenient to have to look for a player's X, and if there are more than one Xs up at a time there may be some confusion on the callout. In these situations when you have nothing better to say than, "One shot on my X" or something similar, it's better to look around for teammates and tell one of them specifically where to look, so your callout would instead be something like, "Derrick, there's a guy one-shot around the corner" or "Josh, he's one-shot to your right."

On my X can be used to inform your teammates of a weapon you just died with, for example, "I dropped Sniper on my X" but even so you should find a better way to make the callout.
 

Rule Number Two: "One Shot/Absolute, Weak"

These callouts are used for telling teammates how weak an opponent is. If you're shooting somebody and land four shots on them just before they get around the corner, they'll be one-shot which means they can die from a headshot or melee. When they get around the corner one-shot, don't chase them, just call it out to your teammates that he's "one shot blue balcony" and your teammates can help you get the kill.

Absolute is a variation on one-shot. This means they are no-shields with red health, after you've landed 6 body-shots, or a grenade and a few body-shots etc. Absolute means they could be no weaker and you could probably just poke them with a pillow and pretty much kill them.

You can get fancier with these, like "two-shot" if you land three shots on somebody. That would better inform your teammates of how to handle him, and whether they should challenge the player or not.

For everything else, you should say "weak" as in "weak on our objective." Weak is used if you don't know how much damage you've done, usually by grenade or AR, but you're alerting teammates of the easy kill. Generally you should only use weak if you think you got them to at least half-shields, otherwise just callout the player normally like you need help getting kill.
 

Rule Number Three: When to call out/Who to call out

Pretty quick rule. Halo is a team game. Callout while you're fighting to get help from your teammates. Fighting players 1 on 1 in a 4v4 is silly when you could easily call your enemy out and turn it in to a 3 on 1 fight. At the same time, think about who you want to call out. Not everything is worth it. If you're alone on the enemy side, there's really no point in calling out the one-shot guy over there since nobody can help you. At the same time, you shouldn't be over there by yourself.
 

Rule Number Four: Weapons

Part A: Weapon Spawns
Keep a rough idea of when Rockets and Sniper will be respawning in the game, and try to keep your teammates informed of when they're coming back. For example, on most maps rockets come back every 3 minutes after being picked up. Since rockets are often first touched ten seconds into a match, you can assume rockets come back around 8:50 (left on the clock in a 12:00 minute game). Around 9:20 you should give your teammates a reminder that rockets will be back in 30 seconds. These same rules apply to Snipers, and any other weapons you feel are important enough to control.

Part B: Dropping Rockets
If you die with Rockets, or you kill the guy who has them on the other team, make sure you call them out. Also make a note of if they need to be reloaded or not. This will help your team decide what they will do after picking up the rockets so they don't get killed while trying to reload because they thought they'd be able to blast someone. If you shoot two out of four rockets and then die, call out "Two Rockets down on (wherever you died), they need to be reloaded." It might also help to keep track of how many rockets the enemy has fired if they have them.

Part C: All About Snipers
Calling out snipers can be confusing. "Sniper our healthpack" could mean a lot of things. It might mean the other team has a guy sniping in your healthpack spawn, or there might be a sniper down in your healthpack spawn, or maybe their sniper is looking to your healthpack spawn. Because of this, you need to be more descriptive when calling out anything related to snipers.

Sniper Down: Means that their is a Sniper Rifle on the ground wherever you call it out. Example, "Sniper down our Carbine."

Sniping: Means someone is sniping from wherever you call out. Example, "Sniping from their Carbine." Just "Sniping their Carbine" is also acceptable.

You can also call out if you know their Sniper's sightlines. For example, "Sniping Ring 2 looking our Rocks," which lets your teammates know where to go to avoid being blained.
 

Rule Number Five: Directions

This is optional, but you can make callouts more effective with things like where someone is headed. For example, "one guy, our training going to sword." Now your teammates know almost exactly where the player is and what he's going to do.
 

Rule Number Six: Tone

One of the most important and overlooked rules is the tone you use when you callout. Shouting a basic callout won't really help anybody and will annoy your teammates. At the same time, casually mumbling, "hey guys, uhhhhhh, on our carbine, uhhh, there's a guy he's got sniper and he's weak" is just getting in the way. Speak clearly and confidently and just say "One guy weak, sniping our carbine." You don't have to repeat it more than twice, and try to shake it off if nobody cleans up the kill. No reason to get frustrated and yell at your teammates just because they missed your callout.
 

Rule Number Seven: Gamertags

Have you ever heard a callout, "one-shot in P2" and when you go to shoot the guy, he's definitely not one-shot? You got switched on. Another player came out to fight you while the one-shot player hid safely. You assumed the player fighting was one-shot and then challenged when you should not have and got killed. Teams can avoid this by adding gamertags to the callout. So instead of "One-shot P2" it's now, "One-Shot P2, Mr Nibbles." So now when the other guy pops out and you see that it's not Mr Nibbles you know it's not a one-shot guy, and you won't have to challenge.
 

Rule Number Eight: Call Signs

Also known as service tags, call signs are the 4 letter/number abbreviation that appears over your head. Your call sign should be clear, concise and quick to call out.

For example, mine is Duce. It's easy to say, quick and represents my gamertag. A bad call sign would be something like A482, 1337, FHDG, etc. These call signs are difficult to say and decrease the chances of a teammate calling out to you to potentially save your life or a teammates life.

When you're in game, you should try to keep your teammates call signs in your field of view. If they aren't in your field of view, you should consider changing your positioning so that you are at an angle that will allow you to assist your teammates.

Another reason why you should have your teammates call signs in view is so that you can see what colors your teammates' call signs are when they are calling out. A teammate that has a blue call sign is not engaged. A teammate with a yellow call sign is shooting at an enemy and you should help put shots in if you are in a position to do so. A teammate with an orange call sign is taking damage. Your teammate should be calling out for help and you should be positioning yourself accordingly so that you can turn the battle into a 2 on 1 and hopefully save your teammate.

Very small, but interesting find. How did you come across this?

While recruiting someone shared links to another Halo site that records the numbers of players online, could this be accurate information?

I can see the video link, its smooth looks like it is in 4K.

Closing into 50 voters, Halo: Reach is a clear winner in all categories. Interesting.

Hard to believe no one is.

I've asked some colleagues about this site and the general consensus is that it is a prop up to the books Max Barry has written. Essentially he made that site, or had the site created to support his hypothesis on social psychology but also expanding it to let people do the above.

Of the books I can see he's published the closest one is probably Jennifer Government, Lexicon seems to be more popular and it looks like he recently released a new book called Providence. Might be an interesting read if this nationstates game is as popular as the activity feed makes it out to be.
