[edit] RE: Republicans

Thanks for the userbox! I was origionally going to put "This user knows that stem cell reserch produced the Flood Infection Forms," but I didn't think it was all that funny, and I also thought it better not to make a joke out of one of the more serious political issues. If your a Star Wars fan too, you might enjoy this joke: Q: What's the only difference between Michael Moore and Jabba the Hutt? A: Jabba the Hutt has been in good movies.

[edit] Some little known facts about America and dictators

1) America is #1 in the recorded history of mankind for number of Democracies overthrown. Most of these democracies were replaced with Dictatorships.*

2) America overthrew Iran's government twice in the past 50 years, and has armed and supplied Iraq and Al Qaeda

America has supported and continues, to this very day, to support powerful dictatorships, often in the interest of American businesses. The fact that Americans, in general, tend to not be aware of this aspect of their history is a major cause of global anti-Americanism - even allied countries study this information.

  • I note that this Statistic, while technically correct, does skew some very interesting data. The reality is that the new world had become progressively democratic and free from rule by the Colonial powers (in part thanks to the US itself). However, the same was not, necessarily, true about African and Asian colonies. While the Soviets hit the odd new democracy in Africa, their activities in the destroyed governments in Europe and the colonial governments in Asia meant that they didn't have any democracies within their Sphere of Influence to overthrow. America, on the other hand, did and often reacted to the slightest hint of Communism in Central and South America by overthrowing the government - hitting several democracies in the process. They, too, hit the odd democracy in the Middle East and Africa, but the fact that there were so many Democracies in the Americas where their greatest focus was made them doomed to become the #1 overthrower of Democracies. --Forgottenlord 23:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rocket Launcher Debate

Dear Spartytime,

Wasn't sure if you had read this yet so I've sent it to you, it contains Bungie sources that provide evidence for the merge, just wondered if it changed your mind. Ok, here we go. The Rocket Launcher wielded in Halo Combat Evolved according to the game manual was the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher"[1] so this name is Bungie approved. However the in game weapon model clearly shows the marking "M41 MAV/AW" printed above the "correct usage" diagram[2]. This is the source of the naming problem.

In Halo 2 the Rocket Launcher was altered, this we agree on, the main alteration being the new lock on ability. In the both versions of the Halo 2 manual this weapon is once again designated the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher"[3] and likewise the weapon model again bears the "M41 MAV/AW" marking[4].

On Halo3.com the Rocket Launcher is reffered to only as the "M41 Rocket Launcher" and from the public Beta it appears to be the same variation as that in Combat Evolved. This version has no acronyms after it which has caused many to view it as a new Rocket Launcher type. All of these sources are directly from Bungie.

So the "M41 MAV/AW" section of the name could be the model number of the Rocket Launcher, an overall designation for that class of weapon. Since both homing and non-homing versions of the rocket launcher, from Halo 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved respectively, are called the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" perhaps it should all be one section.

But what of the acronyms, what do they mean? Do they help in this debate? Using the website [1] and their military acronym list. The SSM part of "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" probably refers to it's nature as a Surface-to-Surface-Missile launcher. As for "M41 MAV/AW" could represent Minimum Acceptable Value/Automatic Weapon which would coincide with the launchers nature as a slow firing, automatic weapon (the automated rotation of the missile tubes into firing position).

Since the M41 section is printed on the launcher for the rocket tubes, is it not possible that this is the designation for the launcher? But once the tubes and launcher are combined into an actual offensive weapon it is known as the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher". Just food for thought.

I am of the conclusion that the M41 and the M19 are infact two designations for the same weapon. As such only one page should exist, or atleast a disambiguation page named "M41 MAV/AW" with a subheading dealing with the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" and the homing/non homing variations.

We should take the game manuals to be gospel in this case. Both the Halo and Halo 2 Rocket Launchers are listed as the "M19 SSM Rocket Launcher" in these manuals. Other than in a third-party guidebook (and therefore non-direct Bungie source) this has been the case throughout. At least we should stop referring to the M41 as the Halo 2 Rocket launcher. Since we do not have a copy of Halo 3, by all means leave the Halo 3 Rocket Launcher name as undecided, perhaps it should be placed in its own category as a subheading in the "M19 SSM" Section.

I apologise for the length of this, :-) Please respond, thanks.

Hi, Spartytime! Thanks for the welcome message! I don't know much info about Halo, but I'll do whatever I can to help. Thanks again! Swannietalk to me 14:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monument To All Your Sins

Dear Spartytime,

In fact, just several minutes ago, I was thinking that. :-)

Is he currently a user of the UNSCOH? I wasn't aware...either way, I was going to invite him with a direct commission to staff sergeant...:-)

[edit] M19/M41 Debate

Dear Sparty time, You asked for Bungie sources and we've provided them. (Check out my section of the rocket launcher debate project). Surely this new evidence must change your mind? Any help you can muster would be appreciated. Thanks --A Monument to All Your Sins 19:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I've placed a compromise situation on the debate page that I feel satisfies both parties. It uses the same principal as the M90 Shotgun article, as such there is already an accepted precident for it here at Halopedia. I hope that you find the compromise situation appealing and that you help us in giving Halopedians a more accurate perspective on this part of the Halo universe. --A Monument to All Your Sins 19:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] D Company

Sry, but as it turns out I was just added to the newly formed B Company. Ryanngreenday told me late last night that I was in A or B when they would be formed but I never got a chance to message you back.

Also could you please help me work out the bugs in my new sig?

--Captain-G023 progress-wheel.gif TalkContributions 21:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
