Why are you always so over the top?
You know that's a good question. I guess it comes with being a writer. Writers feed off drama and events. Writers feed off of things in their lives. It's their source of fuel for writing. And if you're a good writer, a good teller of stories, then you learn to make words fit that spark emotion. And since you're a writer, anything is possible in your stories. Stories wouldn't be any fun if they didn't have conflict or high emotions and tension or drama. And I guess it rubs off into things when I get all touchy feely bullshit. Because let's face it. I've been in this community for a long time. 4-5 years on a known account and a good few more as a lurker. Giving this up ain't all sunshine and bunnies considering it's a routine and a pat of my life. When I wake up tomorrow, suddenly, I won't be coming back here. It'll be over and dead, completely. This community is a lot of memories to me. It's friends, experiences, good days, and bad days. I'm a stubborn, sentimental son of a bitch is what. So I'm over the top because I'm going to miss this. Be nostalgiac about it. And I'm having one last crap shoot to talk with people about whatever they feel like. Because that's what originally made this community. New faces, new experiences, new ways of looking at things. My last day ought to be nice here, no?

Don't do this Sandtrap. Ignore all the drama man, just keep talking with those whom you call friends.
Don't nuke your account over this crap.
It's not the drama. These sites are part of an old life. An old chapter in my life that harkons back to different days.
The reality is, I can't relieve those days. I can't re-experience what I had in those days. And clinging to these places is just becoming a hinderance on my time.
It's becoming a hinderance to me in my current fragile emotional state, which, in order to fix and fight, I need to move on with my life. In order to move on with my life, it's time that I let the past go and all the old wounds that came with it.
Why do you insist on being unnecessarily cryptic?
I wasn't aware that was cryptic. But okay. Let's re-word it for ya. This place, and Bungle, are part of my life. They take time out of it. Time that is precious and could be used to do other things. Time has changed me and I am not the same person I was a few years ago. But I'm stubborn. I cling to shit long past it's due date. These forums, this part of my life. I am depressed. And I'm making a conscious effort to fight that off as hard as I can. And when I keep coming back here because of my yearning sense for nostalgia, it doesn't help me. It wastes my time. And most of all, it fuels my depression. The shittier aspects of the community. The relative anonimity. I can vent about all the shit on my end and that's bad. Because it opens up my head to dark, shitty, depressive thoughts, and gets me all tangled up in feeling shitty, looking for a shoulder to lean on, and wanting an escape when there is none to be found here. So I give this last piece of the old me up. I get up, and I move on with my life. I get up and fight and I do it alone because that's how it's done. And I've outgrown these places. It's just simply time to move on is all.

I can perma-ban your account if it comes to that, but you're going to have to PM me to explicitly SAY that you want it perma'd.
I'd like total deletion. Lock me the fuck out completely. I'll drop by your inbox when it's time, don't you worry.

I don't think you should delete your account. If anything, have Cheat make the password something completely random - so you cannot log back in until you decide it's time.
But it's up to you.
I'd agree with this.
If you ever change your mind and decide you want to come back say...a year or two later and the forum's still going, then wouldn't it be nice to have your old account?
No. My account means nothing. I'm the poster behind the account. I could take any name and it would still be me.

Time's up amigo. If I'm going to do things right, then I do it all or nothing. This place, and Bungle by extension are a routine. Not only are they a routine that take up time I could use for better things, but they leave a window open to all the ugly shit in my head. I will not allow the shit in my head to take a hold over me. This depression is all in my head but it is incredibly hard to fight when you keep bumping into things that manifest it further. So I free myself. I let go of the final piece of the past that I'm I've been clinging to, for far too long now. This place, and Bungie. It's time to move on with my life.

Best of luck Sandy. I hope to see you again when you get to a better time in your life.
Oh don't you worry. I'm sure you'll hear stuff from time to time.

well, good luck with your life, and if you make it up there before me on some bad turn of fate, save me a drink and we'll talk for a while.
You bet amigo! Although I don't plan on it. Imma make things good.

I fuckin' LOL. I talked to Recon on Bungle and there's no way to axe my account to permanent death. I'll just have to take steps to make it look as dead as possible.
I can have some fun with this though. I know exactly what the fuck I'll be changing my username to. Certainly not deleted user. My sense of humor can have fun with this.
I was going to say maybe just change your password and tap random buttons on the keyboard.
No password changes as far as I can tell. I still need to log into my whatever the fuck non existent email account to do that. Truth be told I'm not sure if I could delete my profile if I tried. But I'll find a way to lock myself out. But first, before I go, I've got to have the last laugh. Nothing grand. But something simple that plays to my morbid sense of humor.

That reminds me of the *insert historical figure's name* 200th birthday if they were alive type deal that people do.
So I'll just go ahead and say it. Happy early birthday living people!
Happy early yet non-existent birthday because you're actually dead, dead people!
What the fuck are you talking about?
I guess it's just me then. I see it everywhere I go some days. "Oh hey guys, it's Isaac Newton's 138th birthday if he was still alive today." I bump into that shit all the fucking time. "It's so and so's 198th birthday!" Yeah. Okay. They're dead. I know they did cool stuff while they were alive. But does it really warrant counting their birthday after they're gone? Does it warrant a big announcement?

Goodbye Sandtrap.
Heyo! I'll be gone but in the background. As it should be. I have no doubt you'll hear whispers of me from time to time. Friends and gossip always travel. And I intend to hang onto the friends I've made here.

so what's the point of have your account getting deleted or banned? Just don't use the thing. It's that simple.
Aha! A true question. My accounts are now a habit. It's a habit, to show up here. It's a routine, daily thing. And the first step, to beating a habit, a routine, and borderline addiction is to cut it out in one shot. No half assed attempts. If I'm going to do this then I'm doing it the right way. All or nothing.

Will you continue to compose your Gmod pictures? Or will that have to go with the rest of our old life?
It's a part of me now as well. I want to take that charming rickety old game engine and push it as far as I can take it. I want to make crazy pictures from the random corners of my head. So, no. It'll stay.

MNs can no longer nuke accounts upon request after a bit of... trouble... a few days ago >.>
And again Cheat let's one bad user with a negative impact influence a decision, I doubt Master Ninjas will go buck wild and delete accounts left and right.
And right here now we have two users asking for account deletion.
Hey I'm in no rush here. At the end of the day is a fair ways away from now.

We do this too often.
Oh don't we always? Cep't it's permanent this time. I've only ever had one email account to work with and am incapable of creating any other email accounts, and once my shit gets axed on request there's no coming back for me. This here is the end of the road and I'm glad to say that it's not because I'm ding dong dead. It's something much better than that.

I see you decided to join that pirate who robbed the bar, then. Good choice.
Have fun, don't drown or get scurvy.
You know it partner. I won't be driving a boat though. I'll be driving a motor home and raiding the highways and backwater grid roads of my province.

Well folks. It's been a fun ride and a long one at that. Had a lot of good days, and I had some bad days along the way. But it was a ride in itself. I'm proud to have shared it with any of you in whatever capacity I did. I've already ever said my goodbyes in the times that I needed to.
So all that's left to say here is adios. I wish you people and your lives well, and I go off to find mine and fix it, and make something better of it. As a mild partaker in old western traditions from my province,
I tip my hat you folks.
Have a good one, and take care out there.

A) Gravemind used Precursor knowledge to create his own portal to the Ark, as confirmed by 343.
B) Magic, though Forerunner tech is probably not going to let it slide.
C) Calculated risk, but Gravemind probably "wanted" it to happen too.
343's been fixing a lot of Halo 3's stuff. At least the contradictory things.
Hey, did you folks forget ODST or something? ODST explained how they found the portal. Engineers flooded invasion sites and found anomalies. They lucked out over africa when Vergil fused with the AI that overwatched Mombasa and found information on excavation sites that led to something more.
At the end of ODST you see other engineers examining the site with Truth floating down to pay a visit. After that they proceeded to glass the shit out of the area.
I assumed he meant "why did Regret initially cluster his forces on New Mombasa alone" and not the exact location of the portal itself.
Only none of these are actually plot holes.
Several of these were plot holes until recently. And there are much more pressing ones.
The easy answer to that would be not really since we were never shown any other parts of Earth beyond Africa. Australia got dunked and I'd imagine just about every other major population zone got plasma dropped on them too. Don't forget about luminaries though. Helpful tools those things are.

Doesnt anything good ever happen where you come from.?
Did I not tell you a fun fact about my town? In the winter, and no fucking joke, without fail, every week there's a new funeral card for somebody who's died. Most of them are elderly but personally I don't know where the fuck we're getting all these elderly people to die off from every week for 6-7 months of winter every year.
My hospital is currently under lockdown because there's an H1N3 outbreak.
The rate of cancer and other shit seems to be high for folks and younger people in the area in general.
No. Nothing of much good comes from my town.
Mother of god. Its like god took a shit in your area and said not my problem. Well at least you got your sense of humor.
Oh fuckin' hell do I ever. I joke when my town gets the coldest fucking patch of temperature in the area compared to others. I poke fun at the fact that when it rains over here the shitty, ugly, dark grey ass clouds that look the worst hang over us. I can call my brother in law up and they'll ask how it's going and I'll say it's fucking gray and ugly and raining and half the time he does a double take because it's sunny as can be over at their place which is half an hour away from this town. Yeah, fuck this place god dammit. No wonder all the young kids leave.

I wonder how much force that wave carried. Molasses is heavy shit and that wall at it's peak was about 25 feet high. I could see how people died in that. Either drowning in it or being physically crushed when the wave hit them and traveled over them.
I'm actually curious on the math here. It's a 25 foot wall of molasses going 35mph. Apparently the tank had about 2,300,000 galleons worth of it. That wall fucked around with the railway bridge and ripped buildings off their foundations.
Molasses is heavy shit and for it to move at 35mph took a lot of fucking force. Getting hit by that was probably basically like walking into a sledgehammer.

A huge one that always bothers me when I start Arrival/Sierra 117. How were Johnson and Miranda able to get back to Earth faster than the Forerunner Dreadnought? Not only that, but make it to the Crow's Nest and set up operations there. It seems like they've been there for quite some time. What ship did they take? How is it faster than the technologically superior Forerunners? Are Dreadnoughts just really slow in slipspace? How long was Chief laying in the jungle before Johnson and his search party found him? Would be nice to see a comic addressing some of this.
I recently played through Halo 3 and was wondering the same things when I was playing on those levels.
Halo 3 takes place like 3 months after Halo 2. Read the uprising comics to see what happened between 2 and 3 with the chief.
2 Weeks actually.
I probably mixed up the length between 1 and 2 and 2 and 3.
It's been so long since I gave a shit about halo canon.
This makes me sad.
