HAVE FUN GOIN TO COLLEGE[edit]

I wish you luck at college, or whatever. =S =D guesty-persony-thingyI too am an AI... my owner's name is Supreme Honcho. 03:04, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much! -ED 20:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

FanArt Rulings[edit]

Hey Ed! You have yet to cast your vote on several images on the Rulings page. The Past Votes page needs to be archived too, and you are just the person to do it! -- Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25 Talk | CSV 16:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, i'll get back on that. -ED 20:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

you = hotheaded?[edit]

Umm...no...in fact, you're one of the most levelheaded users, if not the most levelheaded user! =D

I don't get any idea whatsoever that you're brash or reckless.

Oh, and thnx 4 calling me the Arbie. Soo...do I get to kill Tartarus? =D

Best regards,

Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 03:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks for calling me popular. =D Best regardss, Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 03:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Hah, yeah you're welcome. As to me being Regret, I don't know, I like to be concise and to the point when talking, so I just say it like it is, and some people misconstrue it as me being mad at them or something. Besides, it sounds cool that the three active admins resemble the three high prophets in an obscure way. As for tartarus...hah don't get into a fight with Ryangreenday, he'll smash you with his hammer of anger. -ED 02:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Requesting help from a military buff[edit]

Hey! I've written some Halopedia-based fanfictions at the bottom of this page, and I know that you're very military and knowledgeable about the military (esp. from your comment regarding "OPERATION:").

If you just have a moment, could you see if it's militarily accurate?

Best regards.

Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 20:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

where does your stuff start? its a veeerry long page. -ED 20:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if you have time to read, but it starts at the veeerry close to the bottom (excuse the screwed-up grammar =D). The section name is "RelentlessRecusant Special Episode I - Ghost Precedent". Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 20:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I don't want to butcher it (I hate it when that happens) but i'll let you in on the inaccuracies I see...most of which are just with rank.

  1. Lima Company should be headed by a Captain. A Company should be led by a Captain UNLESS it is very big, then it would be led by a Major. Under him would be 4-6 First Lieutenants under him commanding platoons, with 2-3 Second Lieutenants under each of them. Also The senior NCO would be ranked First Sergeant or higher.
  2. 3rd Batallion would be led by a Lieutenant Colonel. Generals command much larger forces.
  3. Team members usually do not get "tags" like "Bravo 1" "Bravo 2" etc. That's reserved for vehicles.
  4. Admiral is a navy rank. The Air Force is led by Generals.
  5. Special Forces units normally consist of senior NCOs, and Lieutenant Colonels almost never lead ground ops.
  6. Military time goes date, month, year. The dates on the after action report should be 31 Feb. 2000, and 0800 Hours 22 Feb. 2000,

-ED 21:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Many thanks for your "butchering". You know, I love your butchering, and the butchering of critics, for it is constructive butchering - something every writer looks forward to. Many thanks. =D In response to your notes:
  1. The ranks are deliberately inflated. =D Yeah, I know that Companies are led by Captains...but, ya know, these are my Halopedian pals? Me likes to give 'em high ranks on purpose. Many thanks for catching that, but it was part of my scheme. =D
  2. My military idiocity is exemplified by adding tags to team members. =D What would be the better way to label members? =D
  3. Regarding the admiral thingie, I was thinking about that...but I wasn't sure. I'll change that, as well as military time.
Thanks for taking all tha time reviewing it! =D How'dya like it? I wrote most of it in school rather hastily, so the grammar is far from what I normally go, but does the plot work out well?
Cheers,
Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 01:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
p.s. - I've included you in Episode II as the kinda "big bro" figure to Dragonclaws. =D
Yeah, it's not bad. But I see it got moved from the page you linked me to. Do you know where all your writings went? (As to what you'd call the team members, they usually just go by their last names, but you can just keep it as it is and call it creative lisence) -ED 02:28, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. =D I've made way better writings,but those don't have to deal with the intricacies of Halopedians, so, me. =D Yeah, and my writings were on the Lima Company page, when...it's complicated. Just see my talk page: comments #1, 2, 6, and 17. I'm not quite sure what was going on, but Ryan made me move it to user:RelentlessRecusant/Ghost. I placed something at the top of the L.C. page linking it to mine - in case peeps followed the link. That was promptly removed and replaced with a DO NOT EDIT sign. Wierd. He'd given me permission to write, and I spend my time molding it to his L.C., and then what? Yeah. And see that profanity on my talk page. Demented rantings, I see. =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 03:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
BTW - can you plz respond on my talk page please? =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 03:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Covenant of Halopedia[edit]

I've created my own political group here. A group dedicated to protecting covenant pages, and the "Covenant" for all the users that have Covenant fanon. I wanted to extend an offer to you to join. The page isn't anything special yet, i just started it. Even if you don't chose to join, could you still help me get everything going?

--Councilor 'Nodotee File:Donut 7.JPG|35 [BattleNet] - [Covenant of Halopedia] 22:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll consider it. -ED 02:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

If you have a moment...[edit]

Dear Ed,

First, I must sincerely thank you for your aid in my fanfic thingies. =D It is very much appreciated - I'd have no idea about most of the stuff without you! =D

However, if you have a moment, could you just reply two three very very brief questions?

  1. What kinda "feel" do both episodes have?
  2. Do you have any idea about what's going on regarding the freaky deaths in the second article.
  3. Is your death an appropriate one? If you want, I could...revert it. =D

If you don't respond, I completely understand. =D College-bound dudes don't have much time, as I gather from my friends. =D Hell, even I don't have a lotta time! =D

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 21:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, when I get the chance, I will respond! -ED 22:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

confetti maker[edit]

Since that's a nickname, I think it should be called the ".30-caliber Machine Gun". Whaddya think? Oh, and you're right. It probably isn't the MA5B. =D

Cheers,

Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 22:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I would say it should stay, since Confetti Maker was the closest thing to a proper name that the guns got, and ".30 calibur machine gun" is not very specific. There are already several of those. -ED 22:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
<sighs> Oh well. Admin wins. =D Cheers, Ghost Inside the Machine (Whisper through the Storm) (My Journeys) (Omens) 22:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe You Aren't the Curse...[edit]

Esemono and Forerunner are deadlocked for the lead, and there are but two days left. Hurry and before the curse notices, change your vote for a solid win!

--Master Gunnery Sergeant Hank J Wimbleton IVCOM 03:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh man, I'm not going to let this mess up. -ED 17:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey![edit]

I have Halo PC too! WoW =D
Dibs,
