What? How can a Spartan-II simple become a member of the Marine Corps? If it was a Spartan-I, I'd believe it, but a II? -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=indigo>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>]]</b> - <i><b><u>[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=blue>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]</u></b></i> 22:42, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

How is it possible for him to have a Spartan tag higher than 150? My only theory is there is a retcon on the number of possible candidates.(Going from 150 to 350 maybe?) This sound reasonable? [[Special:Contributions/98.154.60.146|98.154.60.146]] 22:09, 9 November 2010 (EST)

:I've always said that there's no reason to suppose that the Spartans' designations correlate to the number of candidates. We know that Halsey deliberately fudged the numbers of Spartans available in 2552, with her speech to them being a flat out lie - I imagine her efforts would have begun much earlier. Giving a few Spartans designations higher than the hypothetical 150 limit might have been intended to give ONI the impression that there were more Spartans serving than there were, deliberately giving the impression of larger numbers. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 02:09, 10 November 2010 (EST)

:I prefer the idea that it was part of a deliberate misinformation campaign by Halsey to lead the UNSC to think there were far more Spartans than there were. There's never been much evidence that the numbers have any relation to how they were recruited or what order - John seems to have been the first candidate interviewed, but was designated 117. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 01:55, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

I always thought that John's tag was 117 because he was the 117th person to be identified possessing the superior genes Halsey was looking for. --[[Special:Contributions/220.255.2.109|220.255.2.109]] 09:14, 6 April 2012 (EDT)

::Even going on that logic, 303 is still a viable tag. Ralph could have been the 303rd person identified, but when it came down to it, only 150 candidates were chosen; they kept their tags, but there were only 150 of them. --<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC">[[User:Lordofmonsterisland|<font color="green">Am I a Lion, or a Lamb?
