Sup RAAM.

It's been a while.

Okay well I hafta explain some recent events I guess. Well, not so recent anymore.

First of all, I had a bannable offense in your clan. But you didn't ban me for that reason, so that's lame. But don't worry, I'm not particularly angry. I had a bannable offense and I got banned; it's fair. You banned me for the wrong reason though. Kind of reminiscent of when I got banned on Bungie.net.

Anyway. I haven't played Halo 3 in a while, obviously. I am aware that I need to change my Armor Detail to Red... Heheh, whoops.

I hope you're not going to abandon me as a whole. The clan thing just didn't work out well, and I'm sorry for that. I tried for a while, but I gave up a little too quickly. I'm not good at being in clans, thus why I was so reluctant to join yours' for so long. I suppose one of my problems is when I rebel, which I'm known to do on the interwebs occasionally.

I do have a few requests though. I would like it if you removed my account as a whole on the forums. Or at least get rid of the whole "idiot" thing. If you want to replace "idiot" with "jerk" then go right ahead, because that is far more truthful. Idiot means flat-out stupid; which I am clearly not; but I have indeed been a jerk many a time and if you want to throw *that* insult at me then go right ahead.

Another request... if you haven't edified this already... is to get rid of my "Holdout" topic. And the topic with the maps that will be used in clan events in the future? Well uhhmm, you do what you want with that. I don't care if you use my maps but that honestly would ruin the whole "maps that ONLY clan members have made" thing. So do what you want with that topic, but I would like to KNOW what you did with it instead of causing me to wonder what happened to it forever.

So anyway. Reply back when you see this. I would assume by the fact that you're still on my friends list in many places means that you don't hate me as a whole now. Soooo yeah that pretty much sums it up I guess. Also, if you haven't heard, Vidmaster achievements will give out Recon Armor. I figure that that was planned long, long ago when they first released Halo 3, and Bungie honestly screwed up by wearing the armor themselves and giving it out to select people because now their awesomeness is ruined.

P.S.: Actually RAAM, I *can* see what you guys are saying on the 501st in Announcements and General Chat. So yeah, I saw what Mafia Boy said to me. xD

Well, I've read this now. You told me it was here, so I did. Yeah.

Well, we've kinda already cleared this over Live, but considering this isn't going to be an argument, I feel that I CAN respond to this normally. Or at least, give my reasons. You get the point. So don't take anything I'm saying offensively now.

Well, you told me you had my maps in your File Share? I don't remember that happening, admittedly. Unless you did BEFORE you had asked, and I yelled at you over the whole thing. That was actually one of my contributing reasons. But not the reason as a WHOLE, so you see where that was, yes? Well, OFFICIALLY, the reason why you were banned was because you weren't listening, hence: Insubordination, for lack of a better word... And then there was the whole AIM thing. I won't go into detail and leave the whole thing open, but I don't normally take too kindly to waiting for reasons not to ban somebody, then getting "Then the little man said:" followed by some things I don't entirely remember. Something about not making sense. Then being like. Brutally maimed, burned, and crucified? And then as I said. There was the fact that you weren't understanding the whole "Clan map" thing, and brought up a few invalid things over it. So. That's about it there.

Ummm. Armor detail in my Clan would have been gold actually for you, but I'm assuming you meant changing it back to what you had it as, yes?

Well. Completely shunning somebody over Clan issues IS a bit stupid, so we agree clearly there, apparently. My issue with blocking you for a while was because you were giving me the things from above in the IM, so I was a bit sick of it. Live? Solved easily enough... Just don't respond to messages and shit for a while, and I get along fine next time I see the person because I get cool-down time over what anger I had. So, that explains that well enough. Yeah, I'm not going to lie: You don't do member well. I don't do leader well, either. And you know that I closed the Clan down, so I'll go into this briefly:

I thought I was doing an okay job. Then shit hit the fan, and I realized I was horribly, horribly wrong. Like, horribly wrong like a person jumping into a meat grinder. I can do small-scale leading, in a Clan of people I KNOW. As it turns out, I like the idea of a large-scale Clan. But I got screwed, because when it started getting bigger, I didn't have the hierarchy worked out enough, and with people coming and going, and all those DAMNED LITTLE GROUPS OF TWO, I couldn't put people into groups fast enough to have any leaders. Basically, I had too many Indians, not enough Chiefs (Rofl. Chief.). So, it crumbled to chaos because I couldn't keep everything intact without people to help me do it. And the only acceptable Corporals at the time were Black Ops or you. You got banned. Black Ops quit. He never said it SPECIFICALLY, but I knew that meant Gto and Shail quit, and possibly Chris. So, with all of my plans left in SHIT, I had to step down and let the rest of it fall and get it over with.

Actually, I'm just going to lock the place down for a while. The maintenance mode thing. Nobody will be able to see it. And I'll just remove your profile as a whole if you decide not to join the new one when it comes out. You probably won't, but I'm just going to leave you the option. Much, much easier. ADMITTEDLY, I don't see why it matters. Nobody on the goddamn planet checks the place. Or at least, they don't POST. Idiot was the term being used because you weren't listening at the time. Jerk would imply rude, bossy, mean... Uhhh... I'd have to check a dictionary for a REAL definition, but basically, you'd just find my picture there. I probably should have put Di'kut there, though. Means the same as idiot. But, eh. I guess I can take down the title and all that fun shit...

I was... Going to, actually. But I was waiting on your word specifically. I wasn't sure if you wanted to have me use them once in a while to get them a bit more popular (POSSIBLY, but not like in THAT sense) and all that. But, with the above having been said, about locking the forum and letting you decide whether or not to join the new one, I'll let you decide whether or not you still want it gone. I was also considering deleting the Maps for Events topic and arranging them as maps first, then list every gametype it works for, basically the reverse of yours, but it works better with what it is now, actually.

Well, again, the above. Too much of what I say results in what I need to say again later, huh? Maybe I'll just quote my own post, or something. I don't know. I'd like to note that the only places I can actually delete you on are Gaia and Live, because I have no idea how to delete somebody on AIM, no matter how badly I wish I did (Not because of you. Because other people like. PERMANENTLY blocked me. And I never see other people, a lot of the time...). Yeah, maybe they decided they were going to do the whole Recon thing once they made Halo 3. And they were going to release this armor shortly before it came out to release a hype about it. Unlikely, but maybe they just knew what the name of the game was going to be. Even though he's an ODST Spartan thing, it's still called Recon. (Hmmm... Is the ODST armor and Recon armor similar? It is, isn't it? Apart from the head... Huh... Imagine that... There IS an ODST armor set, technically. Like, the body and shoulders.) And just decided that they'd release it when they had a release date for the game. But, yeah. Screws up the surprise by letting people have it, even Bungies.

And that's fine. I didn't know that. It's not like I didn't want you to know, anyway, so. I was a bit depressed you didn't, admittedly.

WHOA. China called. They want their wall back.

Yeah, I changed my Armor Detail back to red... It's gun be k.

It's all cool. Just do whatever you want with that board.

I doubt I'll join any clan of yours' again FYI, unless it turns out *really* well.

[The Commander ("B")]

I'm making a habit of creating large walls of text, yes. I think if I printed each one out, it'd span very near close to the wall of China, actually.

LIES! MY WHOLE SCREEN IS FILLED WITH LIES! HACKER! HACKER~!

Well, as I said. Lockdown ftw.

Black Ops is actually goading me into joining the one he's in now. I'm kinda thinking about it. If I manage to join in there, and then rip away, I can bring with me a whole new army. He was saying to me I'd be able to easily reach a Sergeant status... Or higher. (I'm a big fan of leading roles. I can only reach them with active members, though. The idea of being a Private doesn't thrill me... Never has.) It just involves recruiting a few people. The sad fact being, though, and I'm going to seem a hypocrite, is that they pretty much got the restrictions I did. And it makes me sad, because theirs is kinda gay. They're saying like. Red or blue and red white or blue for their shit. And new guys start off with Mark V or VI.

Fail.

Better than having to wear Bungie Armor while you're new. You'd immediately be kicked out for breaking the rules for "not wearing Bungie Armor". xDDDD
