Non Sequitur & Phelet 'Pnught Juber
This is said by a Sentinel in the novel Halo: Ghosts of Onyx. Anyone know what Fhelet 'Pnught Juber means? I found out what non sequitur is, and asking someone higher up if it'd make an ok HaloPedia article. Thanks for your time. Also, please sign my board, in case I forgot :> Rpgfinatic5 22:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, good thing I asked. Thanks for the update. Rpgfinatic5 00:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Simulation
Hi, I was wondering if it would be alright to create a page about simulations? As they have been mentioned in the Halo universe and a page containing the information on simulations and the types of simulations would be adequate for Halopedia? An example is the Scarab Simulation Sgt. Johnson mentions at the beginning of the Halo 2 Level, Metropolis. "We've all run the Simulations, they're tough but they ain't invincible." As well as in a novel or two if my memory is right. Thanks -- Wr1ghty, April 22, 16:38
- I think what they meant by simulations are the training courses they took.-5ub7ank(7alk) 11:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
True, thanks for the reply. Wr1ghty 22:19, 24 April 2009
Shield Indicators
While playing Multiplayer on halo 3 the other day, I discovered that the lights on the Spartan's armour correspond with the state of the current shield. Which means when your sheilds are down the lights start blinking, when they are charging the lights flash brightly and when they are stable the lights stay normal. I'm just not sure if this information has been added to a page yet but if it has not, which page is it best to add to? Wr1ghty, 13:18, 26 April 2009
- Probably either MJOLNIR or Energy Shields. --Dragonclaws(talk) 19:57, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Or both. -DinoBenn 20:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Friend Requests
I have had problems with accepting friend requests. Several others have too that I know. When I press "accept" it says "you have rejected 'someone or other'" I don't have enough expertise to suggest a theory as to why it's doing this. If one of the administrators would please look into it? Thank you. Vadamee ( Contibutions Profile ) 18:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Happened to me too, that's why my list is empty. Wr1ghty 05:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Has been happening to me also... User:Spartan-066
Thank you for fixing it! (Should have thanked you a week ago...) Vadamee ( Contibutions Profile ) 15:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
"Fun"
A question about the side menu: why are the images and videos and ratings on the "Fun" section? Shouldn't they be on a seperate section, as they aren't really "fun"? BPL 16:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- I personally don't see that it particularly matters. Vadamee ( Contibutions Profile ) 15:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Silver skulls?
I am currently attempting to get the Campaign complete: Legendary achievement and I was wondering, if I use silver skulls will I still get the achievement? Skully796 21:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I believe you're referring to Halo 3's skulls. The answer would be no. It should be done with no skulls (Gold/Silver) switched on. Good luck.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 22:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, on the acheivments where you have to get a certain amount of points in campaign scoring I used the skulls to get those.
Featured Articles and Quotes
I really think the featured articles and quotes should be taken care of on a regular basis. They have all been the same thing for so long, nobody cares to look at them anymore. If at all possible, I would be more than willing to oversee them. Lieutenant Mcloganator 19:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
how did it happen?
ok everyone knows the story of the Halos, created by the forrunners 100,000 years ago, and that the covanents technology is a downed- scale verson of it , but this queston has made me wonder...... if the covanent worshep the forunners, they must know what they looked like... and if humans were genetically simiar to the forunners, that means that we would look similar too, what are your thoughts on this matter
- It has never been stated that Humans are genetically similar to the Forerunners. Additionally, the Covenant worshipped the Forerunners because of the technology and ancient texts they left behind. This is similar to the Mayans and the Aztecs... oh and fix your spelling next time.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 21:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Just a thought... If the Forerunners could create a set of seven rings to wipe out all sentient life, couldn't they of made their purpose to destroy the flood directly? I know it may sound weird. But if you're technologically advanced to make something that is anti-sentient, it should be easy enough to make something anti-flood. Note how I'm not saying non-sentient life, coz that would make any continuing life impossible (bacteria etc)
Wr1ghty, 30 June 8:36...From another computer
Not sure how its similar to the Aztecs or Mayans, but Iagree with Subs on the genetic link. I've never been a big fan of the humans=Forerunners theory, and though we know there's something between them, we still haven't been explicitly told what it is. As for the Halo's devastation - perhaps the Forerunners were pressed for time, and coukldn't find a way to make them differentiate between Flood and non-Flood? Or perhaps it has no effect on them at all? -- Administrator Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek Honour Light Your Way! 22:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- They spent some three centuries working on anti-flood weapons. Alas, they found nothing that could both destroy the Flood and save all sentient life. The only weakness they found was that they-like all other organisms- die from a lack of food. So, they realised that the only way to save life was to destroy sentient life of sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. I assume they knew that life would heal.-- Forerunner 22:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think the Forerunners tried every possible method they could think off to eliminate the Flood threat but they couldn't. The Maginot Line, the Forerunner Dreadnoughts, everything at their disposal were eventually used by the Flood when they overcome the crew. (Just read the Terminals). I think they would avoid using such weapon because they would fear such weaponry would eventually fall into the Flood hands. Either that or time is against them and that the Flood threat is just too much for them to handle, thus needing a quick method of killing the Flood- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 22:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- In the Halo 3 cutscene where Avery dies, 343 Guilty Spark looks John right in the eye and tells him that he is Forerunner. What more proof do you need?Lieutenant Mcloganator 15:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- It's not as simple as it appears. Analyse the entire sentence and you will find out that 343 GS meant that humans are the legacy of the Forerunners, hence the word "Forerunner" which means one who precedes and indicates the approach of another. He didn't literally mean that humans "are" Forerunners.- 5əb'7aŋk(7alk) 15:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't agree with you on that, but you're entitled to your opinion. Lieutenant Mcloganator 18:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Trivia Sections on Pages
I'm not the best Wikia Editor out there, but isn't there something out there that discourages trivia sections (Almost every-other-page I visit has them. Should there be Trivia pages? Jangos Legacy 22:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- Trivia sections are useful for miscellaneous information. A lot of them contain unnecessary items and Trivia sections should be trimmed in general. --Dragonclaws(talk) 02:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
