The Oracle
The Official Newsletter of Halopedia
Volume XIV - June 24, 2007
New Usergroup Leadership
Written by RelentlessRecusant, Editor-in-Chief

At the midnight of June 24, 2007, a transfer of power was effected...not with grenade detonations nor bombing runs or armed Marines surrounding the UNSC of Halopedia Command Center, but with a click of the button, the reins of the Covenant of Halopedia, UNSC of Halopedia, Forerunners of Halopedia, and Parasite of Halopedia were handed over from the Second Term leaders to those newly elected to lead in the Third Term.

The elections were already pretty blasting late. The Third Term elections were supposed to end on May 31, 2007, and the Third Term's officers were supposed to hold power between June 1^st and August 1^st. It 'twasn't until someone on "#halopedia" brought it up to RelentlessRecusant that the elections were about two weeks late did RelentlessRecusant post emergency elections for the leaders of those usergroups...and with that, a proposal...one to unify the Covenant of Halopedia and its three subgroups, and to change their leadership structure.

The proposal went as follows: the four usergroups of Halopedia would be lead by 10 leaders. There would be 4 leaders for the Covenant of Halopedia: 1 Councilor and 3 Imperial Admirals. There would be 4 leaders for the UNSC of Halopedia: 1 General and 3 Colonels. There would be 1 leader for the Forerunners of Halopedia, a Monitor, and 1 leader for the Parasites of Halopedia, a Gravemind.

Gentlemen and...Caboose...of Halopedia, I proudly present the results of the Third Term Election...

James-001 - Covenant of Halopedia, Councilor
- Donut THX 1138 - Imperial Admiral
- Manticore - Imperial Admiral
- Rotaretilbo - Imperial Admiral
Blemo - UNSC of Halopedia, General
- Phil.e. - Colonel
- Pyromancer - Colonel
- Ryanngreenday - Colonel
Mouse among men - Parasites of Halopedia, Gravemind
Spartan 1138 - Forerunners of Halopedia, Monitor

RelentlessRecusant apologizes for holding these elections so late. Unfortunately, the Third Term leaders will only have about four weeks to lead instead of their intended two months because of RR's laziness...*RR slaps himself*...feeling bettah already? ;-)

You can see the details of the election here.

-*'''Watah!!!''' They've made the water even more sexy! But this time, rather than improving the shape, they've done sexy stuff with textures and dynamics and particlez.. aka, we got a LOT of sexyness coming to us.
-*'''Moosic!!!''' I am a music nerd... In fact, I play twelve instruments. And my music nerdyness has caused me to obsess ovah the new progress with the Halo 3 music. New tunes, new ways of looping, and "GLUE"!!! Glue is sticky.
-*'''Halo 3 Zune!!!''' I really hate Zunes, but I didn't care--I was going to enter, and I was going to win... but I forgot... anyway, vote for which thingymabobber you want to win at [http://halo.bungie.org/ HBO]!
-*'''''99''''' days remaining until the release of the renowned ''[[Halo 3]]'' in September!!!

-*[[User:Esemono|Esemono]] appears to have '''deserted''' us! This left us with only two admins, or something, so [[User:RelentlessRecusant|RelentlessRecusant]] and [[User:Guesty-Persony-Thingy|mahslef]] have been accepted as admins. YAY!!!
-*GPT, it seems, has coined a really catchy term that no one here uses but even Wikia admins have been caught using: '''SEXEH!''' It started on IRC when GPT first said "AH AM ENCREDEBLEH SEXEH!!!" and it just went downhill from there. ;D
-*GPT has continued working out but hasn't been to the pool recently... Either way, all this working out has been makin' him EVEN MOAR '''SEXEH!!!'''
-*Sorta '''NEW''' format for the Oracle! What think you of it?

-'''[[User:KillerCRS|Kwarsh]]''' is the distinguished community member of this week. He joined Halopedia on February 10th, 2007 so he could edit an article. Having little to no wiki knowledge, he screwed it up, overlapping templates and making red links. Having very little edits, Kwarsh is still well known around here. He is a regular attender of GPT's SEXEH PARTEES and has been known to claim himself as the Grunty lord of all the Grunts. He is currently planning to marry GPT on the night of June 3rd, 2007. You can speak to him at [[User talk:KillerCRS|his talk page]]. Once again, meet Kwarsh!<br><br>
