Local news

Meet Someone New!

Donut THX 1138 (otherwise known as "Councilor 'Nodotee" or just "Barfbag" =D) is the distinguished community member of the week! Although here for only two or so months, he is already one of the most (un) respectable community members here! *Donut kicks RR* I mean...the most venerable all-mighty...*Donut walks away*. But...I mean...he's so ugly he has to wear a mask even when he's on the Internet (see left). Never mind. =D On a more serious note, he is the esteemed founder of the Covenant of Halopedia, the first and largest political group ever on Halopedia! He also has seven awards (the fact that RR has been here for like 7+ months and only has like 9 awards is inconsequential because Donut is...unkewl =D) and over 2600 edits! Woohoo! You can speak to this esteemed up-'n-coming youngling-OWOW!-I mean, okay, okay! You can speak to Donut at his talk page!
