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?

: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>]] [[ | :I've always said that there's no reason to suppose that the Spartans' designations correlate to the number of candidates.

== Date of death == | |||
Reading the fourth adjunct of Fall of Reach, I think the death of Ralph didn't occured in 2531, but during or after 2547. The current date of death in the article is deduced from a weapon-related date (that's fragile in my book) and his alleged involvment in the Harvest campaign ([[Talk:Homecoming#Harvest?|an info I found no source of]]). In the adjunct, Mike is contacting Agnes about Ralph's recent death after the partial SPARTAN-II declassification, which happened on May 21st, 2547. Legends-related info are always a pain to work through and I did failed to take some infos into account in prior discussions, so I'll just wait a bit to see if anyone see an error in my reasoning before modifying.

:I think someone may have pointed out that the site of the battle is identified as Harvest in the ''Legends'' developer commentaries. The ''TFoR'' Adjunct entry also seems to be dated post-2552 as the Flood is mentioned, so it's really not a reliable indication in any direction. However, there's also the fact that the fuel rod gun being present may not be as solid of a proof of a 2531 date as the article makes it out to be, as the weapon may have been cataloged years after its first sighting in the field. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 08:26, 10 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
::I checked and didn't heard any reference to Harvest in the commentary nor in the making of of the episode. So without another source, and if the Adjunct cannot be used (I'm personally bent on thinking the Flood mention is a slight overlook by the author), the place and date of Homecoming, and the date of death of Ralph, are unknown.

::Well the Halo Legends Sweepstakes cards(which I should make a page on here) mentions that Homecoming happens on Harvest. So yea the location is 100% harvest. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 09:37, 11 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
::At least two of them are uploaded here : [[:File:SGT. Howers Card.png]] [[:File:Daisy023card.png]] However, these claim that Daisy was born on Harvest, rather than Sargasso so, as for the TFoR Adjunct, they shouldn't be used as reliable sources if I get the policies correctly. Moreover, I'm skeptical on the reliability of materials from a Facebook game. [[User:Lunaramethyst|Lunaramethyst]] ([[User talk:Lunaramethyst|talk]]) 10:47, 11 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
:::But then again the change of the birthplace might of been a retcon. Making the source still valid. Also it was the only place we got majority of lore for the first time. It was the original source of Daisys spartan number for example before other sources confirmed it. So regardless the source is valid. Just later lore takes priority over it. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 11:09, 11 July 2016 (EDT) | |||
