RP talk:Glorious Oblivion

The more in-depth rules are going to be posted below. Just give me and AR some time to get them up here.  SPARTAN-091  |Admin|   HelmetComm  17:34, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Some rules are as such; concerning proper grammar, please try and avoid mistakes. Put it on word and spellcheck, or if you don't know how to spell a word, look up the spelling first. Also, for Elite names, all Elites are discharged from the Covenant's army. Because of that, remove the -ee suffix from their name, like this: 'Vorlonee --->'Vorlon. All posts should be relatively long, at least longer than 5-6 sentences. Please also try and make your characters less "rigged"; this was a major problem in my previous Hollow Bastion RP. Make them get hurt more often, with some serious injuries, and if you're willing to lose one, get rid of a character. This is war; not a video game where you never really die. UNSC ships are generally worse than Covenant ships, and it might take a couple to take out one. MAKE SURE TO SIGN YOUR POSTS, and also, try to steer away from errors pertaining to facts. Look anything you don't know up on Halopedia first. Try and incorporate actual military strategy into your posts, and also use detail.

SHIP TO SHIP COMBAT RULES

 * 1) Human ships are vastly inferior to their Covenant counterparts. Roleplay your ship fights accordingly.
 * 2) One to two plasma torpedo hits will be enough to destroy a UNSC capital ship. (EXCEPTION: UNSC Battleships and UNSC Supercarriers, which take four to five hits. There are only two of each ship)
 * 3) UNSC Longswords easily dominate Covenant Seraphs. Roleplay your dogfights accordingly.
 * 4) Only units designated as "Carriers" can carry more than sixteen fighters.
 * 5) It takes three MAC rounds from light UNSC ships (Frigate, Cruiser, Corvette) to bring down a Covenant ship's shields, and two more MAC rounds to destroy it. Roleplay accordingly.
 * 6) It takes ONE Super MAC or Heavy MAC round to bring down a Covenant ship's shields, and only one more to destroy it.
 * 7) Please ask a Chief Moderator for permission to be a ship's captain.

SHIP TO MAC GUN COMBAT RULES
 SPARTAN-091  |Admin|   HelmetComm  00:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The only person in charge of the Super MAC platforms' fire controls is the Fleet Admiral, who will be appointed by the Chief Moderators.
 * 2) See above rules for MAC rounds for damages.
 * 3) It is almost impossible for Covenant capital ships to make it through the Orbital Defense Grid. Instead, Covenant forces must use dropships and boarding craft to deploy a bomb onto the MAC platform. (Halo 2 style)

ONE ON ONE FIGHTS

 * 1) Here is the overall strength chart of races;

1st-Hunters

2nd-Tank Forms

3rd-Brutes

4th-Elites/SPARTAN-IIs

5th-SPARTAN-IIIs

6th-SPARTAN-Is

7th-Combat Forms

8th-Marines

9th-Jackals

10th-Grunts

11th-Drones

12th-Prophets

13th-Infection Forms
 * 1) With guns, things are different. This is a chart of weapon strengths

Plasma-->Flesh/Shielding

Bullets-->Armor/Shielding

Tentacles-->Flesh/Basic Armor

Brute Blades-->Flesh

Grenades/Rockets-->All

Gravity Hammers/Energy Swords-->All

Sentinel Beams-->All (Depending on how long it stays hitting target)

Snipers-->Flesh/Armor, All(Normal:Headshots. Flood:Chest shots, where the Infection Form is, or Sensory Stalks in Pure Forms)
 * 1) Luck is a constant factor, but do not use it too much. You're not the Master Chief.
 * 2) If you suffer from injuries, don't heal immediately. Add blacking out and permanent scars/injuries to your roleplay.

Confound it! Another thing about the Chief's luck! Chief accomplishes things with skill! --209.81.123.182 18:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Arn't bullets effective against FLESH!!?? -SPARTAN-118

Haven't you played Halo 3? Cortana admits Chief had luck, and no other spartan had. --Kebath &#39;Holoree 18:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Canon
I love this fanons canonocity... no nakai... no shield... no precursor... just canon. This is going to be a huge fight too. When is it going to start? -- AJ

Do you have problems with those? And isn't Precursor canon? -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 04:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't have a problem with them. I was the one who brought in the Precursor in H:WEA. But, I've always been longing for a canon RP. -- AJ

Can I join?

Spartan 501 05:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I suppose, you usually make up our space forces -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 15:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

When RPing
Hey, I was wondering if anyone likes the idea of seperating each battlefront? I mean like making an Earth archive, a Luna archive, and a Mars archive. That way things are easier to understand, and its easier to know whats going on in a specific area.

Spartan 501 20:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

That, or maybe above our post we write in bold Luna, Earth, or Mars -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 20:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

The MAC gun rules
I realize this is your fourm, but the Super MAC gun rules are kind of odd. A single super MAC gun round can, according to the Halo books, smash right through a Covenant ship, shattering it. Now thats may look unfair in the Battle of Earth but the UNSC has 300 Super MAC guns orbiting in gyroscopic rotations around Earth. The UNSC has less ships than the Covenant, and the regular on-ship MACs are rather weak compared with super MACs and Covenant Plasma weapons. But the Covenant, on the other hand, have more ships and takes 3 or 4 regular MAC rounds to take a single ship out. Enough with that, though. The point is that you shoud change the part about the Super MACs requiring a SECOND shot to obiviate a Covenant ship. Cheers, --SPARTAN-118 21:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

118 is right. In FoR, the sixteen cannons fire, and it says sixteen covenant ships are destroyed.

Spartan 501 22:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Question
Can we have people in multiple fronts? Also, what is the exact date of the beginning of the RP?

Spartan 501 22:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I believe so, the story takes place in December, 2552, the Notices have further details -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 23:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I have one group on each front, so I can get in on all the action. And I believe that this takes place during the Second Battle of Earth. --

I have another question then: is there a maximum we can put down?

Spartan 501 02:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

As in characters? I don't think so. --

Question
I got to ask, when it says music soundtrack, does it mean from the Halo soundtracks or anything? --

Any idea...
...when 091 is gonna start this thing? I'm itching to begin, and got six pages of my first post done (wrote it last night). I want to get to RPing, and this one looks juicy, as well as pretty canocial.

Spartan 501 00:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, I had no idea it started -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 02:44, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I wish I could have gotten a longer post in... *sigh*-Anno &#39;Rhculee(Recieve Commands from me)(My lance)

Would anyone mind explaining to me what is happening on Mars at the moment? --Kebath &#39;Holoree 03:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Not completely sure, I'm more concerned with Luna and Earth. I think the Covenant are generally kicking ass and the humans are using stealth attacks to try and fight back.

Spartan 501 03:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm taking it as the Covenant have pretty much left Mars, and are now concentrating on Earth and Luna. --

In all the chaos that is the 53 entries that sprung up from nowhere, I have no idea what's going on. I'm better suited for slower RPs...
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 03:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

My advice (this sounds quite odd, for me to be giving you advice), just stick with your own part, and mix only with others as neeeded. Thats what I've been doing so far, and its worked fairly well. Also, I was wondering, again with the Luna, Mars, Earth archiving thing; it might help make things less confusing and give you a better idea of whats going on in which fronts.

Spartan 501 04:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Spartan 501 here. I just do my own thing, and if someone wants to join me, the more the merrier. But while I can figure most RP's out, this one's throwing me for the loops. --

Yah, this one is especially confusing. The only one close to as confusing was Battle for the Ark, and of course Well Enough Alone, which I kinda gave up on because it happened to fast for me.

Spartan 501 00:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

maybe we should go slower....
I think that we are going a tad to fast with some users posting a few small, different posts daily. I think that maybe we should save our posts in a word document or something, then post some really large ones every few days in order to make the RP easier to keep up with and moving more freely. Like to hear any comments on it.

--Petty Officer First Class SPARTAN-G023  Comm ChannelMission History 00:13, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, also, I've been trying to get someone to react to the medbase under attack... I cant just keep posting about fighting Brutes over and over....-Anno &#39;Rhculee(Recieve Commands from me)(My lance)

I'm doing that already, G23. I have it saved to a word doc with all my posts, and am taking my time to create big, filling posts. Or, at least I think there filling.

Spartan 501 15:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

This is going way too fast. I can't finish my posts with my time restrictions, and then other people come along and add tens of millions of little tiny posts. It's getting annoying. And I agree with S501, this thing is going way too fast, though I can't see why BFA or WEA were worse. And with all the posting, I don't have time to read it all. --

I... am... so... LOST! This is going way too fast. Why can't anyone wait with editing until they've got a very large story. These "Tiny-edits" make it confusing. BFA and WEA were much better with this.

One more thing: I've noticed BFA have almost been abandoned since GO started. I myself think that S-089 chose a bad time to start this thing. He should've waited until at least BFA and KOBH were finished.

17:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know, it was S091, not S089 that started this. And once again, I say, all this multiple, tiny posts are KILLING my style!! --

TOO MANY PEOPLE! TOO MANY POSTS. OVERWELMED...SAVE YOURSELF... (Tone down the speed. Its impossible to get posts in.) SPARTAN-118

Mr. Anno, Where is the medbay? Directions and I will gladly assist -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 05:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's near the letronne crator.-Anno &#39;Rhculee(Recieve Commands from me)(My lance)

Ive been gone 4 a week... and I hav no idea wats happenin, all the posts.... so confusing.....Can some1 plz explain?... Just Another Grunt Converse 22:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Umm, not sure of the overal tactical picture of Mars, but here goes Earth and Luna.

EARTH: Scattered engagments across the globe, ranging from Texas to Austrailia. Gorilla warfare in some parts, small squadrons attempting commando missions, such as the Lordofmonsterislands small group. Currently, scattered ODST and marine groups are attempting rescue missions (?) and a group of joint human-elites are trying to get brutes into a choke point. A group of humans are attempting a peace conference aboard an elite ship. There are some scattered S-III units doing some commando missions (mine is actually just trying to escape a big massacre). Humans are getting pounded in space.

LUNA: Engagments all across the lunar surface. Theres a big battle in the Letronne crater, which is surrouned by a mountain range, that is just now dying down. Battles in the MISWA facilities, and a MISWA officer captured. Battles in a human station, where marines have secured a truce with a seperatist force. Similar to Earth in space, humans are getting pouned, but there are some sepratist ships currently helping out.

Spartan 501 02:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Like everyone else i've been having a bit of problems trying to keep up with the other posts and thats one of the main reasons why i am writing a seperate battle. *btw i apologize for the fact that some of those smaller posts were my fault* one thing that i think would really help out would be a small summary at the top like what Spartan 501 did above. That way everyone has an idea of whats going on so: 1 continuety errors are a minimum *ex 2 seperate battles in the same location* and 2 to help get more interaction between writers.

just an idea,

PS after my battle i will glady give a helping hand to anyone else so please contact me and give me the information etc

Hollywood 12 December 11:25 PM

I, for one, have been completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the RP already. I make it a policy to read each entry before posting...and I'm only up to twenty. Fifty-four more to go...
 * -- Master Gunnery Sergeant  Hank J Wimbleton IV COMHalo: Galaxy 06:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm doing the same slow reading of articles as you are, and am on 66. Then, I'm looking for people to interact with.

Spartan 501 16:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

requesting a place to help out
I need a place for one of my charecters to hang out, perferabbly close to Asia, around the Pakistani-Afgan border. Or somewhat close. If anyone wants a little help, please advise.

Spartan 501 04:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thnx heaps 4 the info, btw, on a place 4 ure characters, I was thinking of moving my Marines 2 Either Solomon Islands or Australia, both r close 2 (south) east Asia, though Pakistan/afghan (where u said u'd prefer to go) r more west Asia.... Thnx again 4 the info. Just Another Grunt Converse 05:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

The Pakistani Afghan Border, do you mean, a town close by or a country? -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 13:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I mean my marine is currently aboard a pelican flying away from Pawas, a town that is near the former border for Afganistan/Pakistan. Also, grunt, would you like S-III support to take back Austrailia? HIGHCOM BRAVO-6 and all of Sydney got destroyed. Anyway, I'll probably just send him to a base right now.

Spartan 501 14:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Allright, S-091, where are you? I've been asking you concerning my S-IIIs, but you haven't made any response. And I posted twice on your talk page. Meanwhile, you were logged in on HF and edited articles, so you were active. I want a response concerning this, please respond.

Cheers,

09:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I have to say, this is getting out of hand. I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THIS WRITING!!!! I can't write this fast people! Slow down!! I haven't gotten in a post in the last 50 posts!!! --

Is the "assistance" that the radio in 091's post talks about the UNSC reinforcements I sent down in one of my early posts? -- The State(Our Decrees and Law)(The State Alchemists we've enlisted) 20:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Um, no. That's an intro for Captain Graves' characters. (The really long and good one. Post 74, I think...)  SPARTAN-091  |Admin|   HelmetComm  21:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
