Howdy There People!
Ermm... well, i'm sorta new to this Wiki business, so I'm guessing how to do most things. Lately, I was finally able to make a Signature:

I know it's not as big and fancy as some of the others on this site, but it'll do.

I recently made a new one:

Comments
Comments below here, thanks.

Okay, well it would be normal to start by introducing your characters. I know that you have writing skill, so after the basics, you should be good to go. No first person storytelling, please. For starters, you could say that you are a soldier aboard the UNSC Bright New Day, who received the distress signal and is dropping in for help. You don't have to drop right into the action; making your first one or two posts describe your characters backgrounds would be a good idea, and you can drop into any continent that you deem necessary. If you don't want to make to much interaction with our characters, I'd recommend that you choose one of Hope's many continents to make your initial drop into. I also suggest that you make a brief page about the UNSC Bright New Day. Thanks, --  Chris  talk   blog  20:30, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Certainly. ;) --  Chris  talk   blog  17:48, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Brodie, I don't believe that any UNSC vessel could enter the stratosphere of a planet such as Hope, as the light atmospheric composition, as well as the tug of gravity, would bring it right down. If necessary, mention that the vessel has deployed some sort of stabilization device to the lower mast of the ship in order to keep it in position, as long as the ship remains in such a position.

Even then, would a team of Spartan's be managing the controls of a UNSC Frigate, alone? I will have to find some loophole and fix what I can. The frigate would be refered to as the "Bright New Day, not The Bright New Day'', and the Spartan's must be in separate rooms. I also recommend that one be at least over the rank of major, in order to be held responsible for them managing a frigate on their own.

And if you want the Bright New Day to remain in tact for a return to Earth, you may wish to have it retrieved before the implosion.

Thanks, --  Chris  talk   blog  22:49, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Your welcome for the corrections, and although possible for a frigate to be piloted by just about anyone, it would most likely be unlawful for a soldier without the proper rank to pilot such a large ship. Even so, I'm pretty sure that the naval corps would make an exception in such a case. As for the MAC cannon, it is located far from the main bridge of the starship. And one couldn't simply load a MAC cannon by themselves, so I had placed some remaining crew members aboard the ship. If the ships is new, it could have been built alongside the Pillar of Autumn, while it was stationed in Azsod (in case you needed a backstory). --  Chris  talk   blog  16:54, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well Port Neadra is nearby, however, a large Covenant EMP with the range of a nuclear bomb had struck the area. How about a visit to the Port Neandra Naval Shipyards? --  Chris  talk   blog  19:09, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

{{Pikapi sig|Yes, yes, and yes. Humans are still in the city, and the Covenant have taken over. A huge EMP bomb has also eliminated most electrical systems in the city, however. A warp drive may be found in the shipyards. --  Chris  talk   blog  14:42, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

{{B001 Sig|text=testing out my signature. That is all. }}

Just to let ya know, it's Chieftain. --  Chris  talk   blog  02:07, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Are you staying for the sequel? Time-space rules won't apply, so you can make it back in time for the Battle of Earth... --  Chris  talk   blog  23:30, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind. Thanks, bro, --  Chris  talk   blog  20:52, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, by ten-thousand gigs too! :D --  Chris  talk   blog  16:48, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

No, it will not be limited to space. Some character units may crash-land onto an uncharted planet upon entering the wormhole, others may aim to claim ground territories. I shall start my segment with an interesting space battle, upon making my first post, however. --  Chris  talk   blog  17:02, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Well do you remember how Cor stole the Grape's navigational AI? He took them to the Patient Devotion, and us Spartans raided the ship in search of them. Riley, Matt, Ryder, Ender, Miranda, Randy and Turok found them from the bridge area, and Luc combated Cor, Daryyk and Nota believing that Cor sill had them. An awesome melee battle occurred in the ship's plasma hydraulics bay, and now the ship is gonna explode due to a rupture in engineering. The most recent thing that had happened to us was our separation from the rest of the battle. The Grapes or Pax (unclear and being resolved) preformed an astounding, uncalled-for maneuver attempting to isolate the Devotion, zinging us across the sphere by catching us in it's slipspace jump. We are now trying to escape the Devotion in Covenant drop pods, where we will land on the conveniently below us "Quinn's Planet".}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Sure, just have it track and follow the UNSC ship's slipspace signature there.}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=It's the Grapes that separated the Devotion. Also, what class is the Heavens Asunder?}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Thanks, sounds great!}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=I'd recommend that if you want to bring your ship to the planet, that the story is how it decided to follow the Grapes, as ships such as the Pax Americana have done the same. Once there, sure, Covenant can be on the planet, but please, make it where any Covenant units that you encounter had dropped from the Patient Devotion before its destruction. As for sentinels and such, you may certainly introduce them. In case you haven't caught up with the semi-recent happenings, Follower and his forces have turned on both the UNSC and the Covenant. It gives specifics in an earlier post. And yes, actually. Riley and Quinn's group are heading towards a large apparently Forerunner structure, so you can feel free to join in if you want. If not, feel free do do as you please. Just no intense battles yet, and Riley has to be alone for this part of his journey. Thanks,}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=You can certainly find a way to help Quinn in. But do not mention me yet, because not even he will meet up with me during this mission, I doubt. Also, if you talk to Therider's group, you can establish how you think that Riley is dead. That would really help if you'd get the chance.}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Nice post! I am really happy to see that you put time and effort into writing, and other than placing a few periods, I have never really had to alter your posts much. If it is alright with you, I will update Battle of the Zenith Complex with Operation: ASPHALT for your project. Keep up the great work,}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Unless defined earlier, it goes against the basic plot outline, or is unreasonable, of course there can be! It's an RP, after all. Great post by the way! Cheers,}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Yep, I've been trying to flesh out the universe as best I can. I'll definitely get to updating the planet article with this information sometime! Also, I'll add you as one of the writers. Cheers,}}

{{PikapiSigNormal|text=Of course. :)}}

Screenshots
Recently, I've become more active on other wikis. Therider, however, has been bugging me to get to posting eventually, so I might not be gone for good. As per your query, I envisioned the sentinels of the Zenith Complex akin to those of the Halo trilogy. The Gatherers, however, were an exception. Feel free to make any sort of Sentinels you wish, it can't hurt. To be honest, now that I'm gone, a lot of what I envisioned probably won't happen. I don't know what Therider told you, but I have to admit, I had some genius ideas. In the long run, I guess it won't matter how we conclude the RP (wether we cut it short, put it on hold, etc.) because when I get to formatting the two into stories, they will be a legendary awesome. My stories were going to focus on the endeavors of Riley and Ryder's group. If you're up to any more writing after the RP, you can write one or two stories of whatever length chronicling the events of the battles from your character's perspectives, but that will be for you to decide. I'm sorry I've been absent so long, but I'll see what I can do. — Pikapi (Chat • What's up<) 03:02, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

That's cool. If you do, eventually, create an RP of your own, I'll try and show up regularly to contribute. In fact, I'll try and post on GF right now. — Pikapi (Chat • What's up<) 22:25, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

hi and thank you
Thank you so much i will definitely do that... nice to know that the site has a couple of friendly....thank you!!!!! -Barb Spider

NOVEMBER BLACK CLEARANCE EYES ONLY ONI-S-13132015898
Hello,

The Office Of Naval Intelligence has sent you this letter via [TRANS-COM] to inform you that you are invited to the upcoming Naval RP The Battle Of Draco III (Naval RP).

You are invited to write for either UNSC, or Covenant assets. If you would please consider this invitation seriously, and please reply to my office in the city of Visamere, Reach, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you, --UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 05:39, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Draco III
Yes, It is fine to write for both sides of the conflict. However, are you planning on writing mostly ground-engagements or naval engagements?

--UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 18:26, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

105th ODST
That Sounds good. Also, large elements of the 105th ODST Division are aboard the UNSC Pride if you would like, you could launch from there in either Pelicans or HEV Drop Pods. I will also have a squad of ODST's on the ground called Bravo 4-1 as well as numerous other squads that you can write with. --UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 20:51, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Updates
I have updated some things on the page, if you all will RE-read the summary, objectives and other things, it will help you better understand the situation. Thank you. RP: Battle Of Draco III.

--UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 20:59, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

GENERATOR COMPLEX
Hello, I haven't thought much into where the Generators should be placed, I'm going to assume, multiple ones are clustered around the region, with few inside major cities, and others scattering the countryside, as you can see I have put some work into the rough layout of a portion of New Albany, and some specific buildings inside of New Albany, if you would like to also put out some creative visual aids (Maps, Diagrams, etc.), I am okay with that.

--UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 22:30, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Opinion
After reading just a small bit of your articles, I believe that you are one hell of a writer. . . Also, I would like to discuss somethings about the RP, and get your opinions on some topics.

Thank you, --UNSC Office Of Naval Intelligence Captain Foster 01:08, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Visual Aid.
You said you were going to try to create a sort of map, or visual aid to help you show the locations of your ODST elements on Draco III, are you still planning on doing this? Also, is there anything you would suggest that I implement in the RP page to better it?

-- UNSC Navy, Captain Foster 01:29, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Idea
That is a good concept. . . I would like to use that, but instead of simply me creating orders, I would like to try a panel of leaders, specifically writers playing high leader characters such as Admirals. It seems that you would have great insight on topics like this, and if you are okay with this, I would like to appoint you an Admin for my RP, and if you would like.

I think the concept of two different "Current Command" Sections would be a good idea too, one for Covenant one for UNSC, and, two leaders basically writing against each-other, but I would need a Covenant writer willing to do some generic leading in the RP. I do not have a Covenant writer doing anything with high leaders at the moment, I mostly have individual shipmasters, and ground forces for the Covenant, so if by the start time I don't have those, I would direct the Covenant forces in their invasion by myself.

-- UNSC Navy, Captain Foster 01:58, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Echo 1-1
Hi, I was just going to point this out. I was planning on having Battlegroup Pride making first contact with the Covenant (Scouting Group) on the edge of Draco III's system, and after a brief engagement, the Battle group would turn tail and haul it back to the defensive cluster around the planet itself, when it got within reporting range, Captain Foster is supposed to let the UNSC Fleet know that the Covenant have found the system and will be on their doorstep soon. That being said, since I already have large elements of the 105th ODST on my ship the UNSC Pride I was assuming you would be launching Echo 1-1 from there, but an orbital drop would not be possible till the Battle group returns to the orbital defense grid.

Note that the Covenant would not be making ground engagments by then, and their fleet wouldn't be within strike range, so an orbital drop would be possible (In-fact I was planning on dropping my ODST elements the second the ship got back to Draco). If you planned on having Echo 1-1's insertion be your first post in the RP, you would need to wait a very short bit for me to pull the Pride back to Draco III. I don't see a problem with it, but I don't know what you're planning.

If you need me to adjust anything or if you were planning on Echo 1-1 entering the Battlefield a different way, please inform me.

Regards, -- UNSC Navy, Captain Foster 22:03, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Interesting Article
My City is Crumbling I would like you to look at this, I made it. It is esentially the Superintendent A.I. of New Albany talking to himself, it takes place about a month and a half after the Covenant Attacked Draco III, and a week or so after the planet actually fell. I implemented some of you characters if you don't mind, I think you might dig it. I even made my own Superintendent Face/Avatar specifically for him. >>"Amber Square is Amber"<<. It's still a work in progress so.

-- UNSC Navy, Captain Foster 03:46, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan Jackie Chan.
Sounds good, also, I'm having Bravo and it's platoon cover vehicle insertions, via Albatross Dropships, I can help you out with some vehicles, medical supplies, and weapons, and if you need anything special on the field let me know, the Pride will be in support range at most times, if the shipmaster doesn't run it off.

Draco III Starting Date
Hello, I would like to inform you all that the RP will start on Friday of next week, at around 6:00 CST. I will post the first item, then you may follow suit.

Thank you.

We up.
We up.

Sincerely, -- Captain J. Foster, UNSC Navy. 22:35, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yea, I suppose that would be a good idea, however, I can't be bothered to tonight, if you feel like it, you could create the content page and I can move the posts there after.

-- Captain J. Foster, UNSC Navy. 22:49, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Which Admin would you suggest speaking to about getting some traffic? If you feel comfortable speaking to one yourself, I have no problem with that, I don't have much pull when it comes to items like that.

-- Captain J. Foster, UNSC Navy. 21:25, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, GF is sorta dead. Hopefully, when I have less on my mind, I'll make my return on Halo Fanon. Until then, it was good having you on the team while it lasted. Cheers, — Pikapi (Chat • What's up) 00:27, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
