User:Dragonclaws

Hi, I'm Ryan, but I prefer to be called by my username, Dragonclaws. As the name may suggest, I'm somewhat of a fantasy geek. Although, right now I'd call myself a Halo geek. I am one the admins and I was one of the original users of Halopedia.

Quotes
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Evelyn Beatrice Hall

"This cure is voluntary. Nobody's talking about extermination." "No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you. Only then do you realize that while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake, my brothers, they will draw first blood. They will force their cure upon us. There is only one question you must answer: Who will you stand with, the humans or us?" --Unnamed Mutant and Magneto, X-Men: The Last Stand

"They wish to cure us, but I say, we are the cure!" --Magneto, X-Men: The Last Stand

"And we pray to our Lord Who we know is American He reigns from on high He speaks to us through middlemen And he shepherds his flock We sing out and we praise His name He supports us in war He presides over football games And the right will prevail All our troubles shall be resolved We have faith in the Lord Unless there's money or sex involved" --Frail Grasp on the Big Picture by the Eagles.

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love." --Dumbledore, Harry Potter

"The central planets formed the Alliance. Ruled by an interplanetary parliament, the Alliance was a beacon of civilization. The savage outer planets were not so enlightened, and refused Alliance control. The war was devastating. But now, the Alliance's victory over the Independents ensures a safer universe, and everyone can enjoy the comfort and enlightenment of true civilization. (...) So with so much social and medical advances we can bring to the Independents, why would they fight so hard against us?" "We meddle. People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think. 'Don't run.' 'Don't walk.' We're in their homes and in their heads, and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome." "River, we're not telling people what to think. We're just trying to show them how." --Teacher and River, Serenity

Weekly Update Fame
At HBO my username at the time was Nogard ('dragon' backwards), and in this update Frankie answered replied to my question:


 * Nogard asks,


 * Is 343 Guilty Spark's idea of years based on Threshold orbiting its star? No weird Lagrange point concept of years?


 * Technically a year could mean either the time it takes Earth specifically to revolve around Sol, specifically or some other rhythmic celestial phenomenon. The concept might not have much meaning if you're from a planet whose orbit is stable enough to have no seasons, right? So the question is; Does Guilty Spark's translation into a language understandable by Chief and company simply refer to some rotational indicator - either the Halo itself, Threshold or the closest star? Or does his translation include knowledge of their solar system? Or did I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND, MAN?
