JPD Post #1
My name is Harrison, but some people call me Harry. I love Halo: Reach, in fact I think it is the best game in the series out of them all. It's original, it's fun and it is also the home to the biggest part of the Halo Clan Community. If I did get that fact wrong whilst trying to impress you then please forgive me, but anyway, I have always wanted to lead a clan. I have a natural tendency to be slightly bossy and imperative so when I wanted to start a clan I admit it was for the pure enjoyment of bossing people around. Sorry Elite Slayer!
Anyway, I have changed my view on being a leader; I want to do something to the community. I want to make a mark in the community with our clan. Not for me to be pampered or be respected by others, but that my members can feel really
good about playing and know they have done something good. Corny I know, but me and my members goal is set on trying to bring the justice into the JPD. Heck, even today I have had a member leave my clan and start a new one for no
apparent reason and most members wanted to raid him. I also wanted to seek vengeance for betraying me, but I also thought of how that was unjust. He had done nothing wrong and I didn't attack him; he had a right to leave and join when he wanted.
Now, about my clan. My clan is called the JPD, the Justice and Peace Department, which is a military police clan and revolves around three working divisions each lead by members that are good and have personality. Beware of one of them called scouseboy as he can get mouthy with his jokes but he's a good guy.
The Patrol Division
This is where people who have passed basic training but have not done well on their examinations for which division to be trained in are placed. This is the basic so-called 'grunt' division that form the backbone of our military. They usually man the turrets on the base walls or charge into battle head on as warriors. With basic skill in all aspects, such as CQC and long range shooting, they are not the best but support our members to the max.
The Riot Police Division
Lead by Mirrorninja12, this division is for those who like the frenzy of CQC and have reprimanding skill with a shotgun or being the stone hard defense in raids. They also form the security of the leaders, standing at the front armed with shotguns to protect us. They have our backs in clan games, but are loyal and never let us down. Only those with strong hearts are permitted in this division.
The Sniper Team Division
You all knew it was coming. Most military clans have a specific division dedicated to snipers. Most people like to be snipers, and if they don't qualify they usually leave the clan because they can't handle it or make drama over it. Lead
by OrangeDrip, they provide our support and use their eagle eyes to pick off enemies. Only those above good with a sniper are permitted in this one.
There is an elite division called the C.O.P, known as the Covert Operations Provided division, and has been split into two main cores. The Vanguard Core, the elite guardsmen of division leaders and key points in our defenses. They are like the Riot Police, except hardened to even die to protect their leader. Then we have the Rangers Core, which is the elite marksman part of the C.O.P. They fight against the enemy fiercely and provide support, fight head on or sneak behind enemy lines.
Now, here are a few requirements to join. Number one, you must have the EOD helmet. Now, some of you might already criticise me and say we should use the Military Police helmet, but not everybody has Halo: Waypoint or the helmet. We need something medium level and to show we are part of the same clan and to minimise confusion.
Number two, you need to be able to listen. I have recently had a few hitches with my clan members because they simply are unable to listen. Something like a meeting or a raid will start off well, but then someone will kill someone else in our clan and then they'll lose their focus and lose control.
Number three, please don't be too judgmental. We are not professionals at the game and if you expect us to be then you are unfortunately on another planet. No clan is perfect. You obviously have higher standards and we don't as we are not MLG but try to be mildly competitive.
Also, you can wear your own helmet and armour colours outside clan games, but you must keep your clan tag at all times as well as your emblem. We can't be wasting time trying to get your emblem or tag correct whilst preparing for a raid.
WARNING: We are a developing clan. We have only been active for about three months and we are still trying to recruit and train. So please, if you are expecting us to be amazing or already MLG then you have come to the wrong people. We are currently trying to recruit more members so we can have our division leaders move up to the C.O.P but also so we can start focusing on other issues that have more priority. Once again, if you are easily angered by being killed or having 'squeakers' talking in game chat, then don't join. We have quite a few young players in our clan, who aren't as bad as they sound, but can be ridiculous sometimes.
But, if you have a lust for justice and bringing fairness to this marvel of a game, then come message my Xbox Live account at ironheart harry.
Thank you. *salute*
Harrison.
