Most of you members are newer and very rarely any of you know who or what I'm talking about when I change my name to Lazuli Lure, or my username offsite is Lazuli Lure. Well to tell you the blunt truth, it was a thing I made a while ago. To be exact, almost three years ago. A few members might remember this, but that's doubtful. Anyways, I'm going to show you what I showed the first time. Lazuli Azul Lure is the Queen of the Sea. She is both young and beautiful, but yet she is only yet just a goddess. Lazuli Lure has the control over the waves and the currents of the sea. That's not her only ability, but that's a few known ones. Others consist of your basic knowledge of what Gods/Goddesses of the sea can do. Lazuli Lure was born February 19th 1933. She has been seen to appear out in the middle of nowhere in the ocean, no preferred areas have been shown. They're more of random appearances. It has been rumored that she lives somewhere around the Bermuda Triangle; no evidence have been found of the case. Mostly known for her abilities, Lazuli is more known for her beauty. Lazuli Lure is a 8' 4” long/tall Mermaid and 281 lbs; with Aqua, Teal, Black and White mixed hair color; 4 Dorsal fins and 1 Tail Fin; Cyan Eyes; 6 inch long ears; Webbed Hands; an Antenna; and a scrawny body. Lazuli is a calm mermaid, she'll give you the joy you need. But beware, she is known for playing tricks on predators and other strategic plans. She once took down the U.S and German navy war during WWII over seas in the NorthWestern hemisphere as the age 3 with a bunch of fish, Butterfly fish to be exact. If you are trusted by her it is quiet rare, she likes to make you feel ignominious about yourself at times. If you can get past her traumatizing, she will become surprised and play a game with you; if you pass you win, you'll gain her trust. Lazuli is the legendary goddess of the sea, as stated before, noted for her various abilities more then her looks. She was born 384 years after her mother died. Her mother was unknown, but was most likely a sea goddess as well. Sea Goddesses are known to live for up to 29.6 millenniums. As all sea goddess's, she was born with 249 other eggs. Only one survives out of the nest. Lazuli learned to swim at birth, she is still learning her abilities, even at the you age she is now. She also knows over 2432 cunning strategy's of the 2.8 billion so far. Humans tend to fear her and run away from her on sight; knowing that they too, might be next in line for their fate. Her most well known technique is noted as “Blue Sea” which is pushing the water away from the subject, forcing it to fall on the hard ground below, then collapsing the water over them. I put together a video of her, however if you don't want to just look at one picture and listen to the music, that's fine. I'll just post a picture below the video.

Hello everyone, it is I, Fishy here. I was looking back at my playdate's I hosted, which were big hits. These are known as the New Year's Playdate and the Old vs New playdate. I have decided that I should do them again. Seeing as how they bring back forum memories. I will leave it up to you guys to decide on which one you want. Ready... Set... Vote!

I have made this topic in reply to Total Mayh3m's speech over the change of the Community Forums. http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/23323-a-message-to-the-community/ Just Like Old Times, eh Bud- Alright, so I see a bundle of you guys all in the Shoutbox everyday or in the forums making posts. I also see some of you guys getting your names mentioned, or maybe I see you post a status update. Well, sadly, whenever I look at the Status Updates, which is the only place where it's the same as always, everyone acts as the Community did way back in July 2012. It seems that everyone is friendly in the Status Updates, why you ask? I think it's because people only reply in Status Updates if it's their friend, if they're not your friend, then they most likely ignore the entire thing, which brings me back to the topic itself. There's no such thing as a bad game, only a bad player- I see a bunch of you guys, let it be ANYWHERE on the forums, let that be as it may, but I do see some really ugly creatures out there as well. I'm not talking about Covies either, I'm talking about Insurrectionists. I see a lot of people flaming other members, what has happened, may I ask? You guys were all so well, and so nice to each other a long long time ago. What has happened??? I know that you guys are going to reply saying things like “It's the way I am, deal with it.” or maybe something like “Shut up, you don't mean a damn thing to me.” or there's those of you who say things like “Pffft, why the hell do you care about me? I don't care about you. Now beat it.”. But we all know that deep down on the inside, you have something else going on. Let it be family problems, stress, school, school work, work, bullies, or just something that is bothering you. Don't let that stuff get to you, geez, I mean, we all do hate things like that, Absolute Dog is a real good example at against bullying. Just keep it down, don't let it out on your friends, or any of us. If only it were so easy- This site is a Community, what do we do? We work together and help each other out at the best of our ability. As Mayh3m posted, he sees people redirect them to halo.xbox.com, but I would like to know; why do we do it? If people come here to 343 Industries Community Forums looking for help, then they are here for OUR help, telling them to go to halo.xbox.com is just a waste of our time and their time. How about instead of redirecting them, we do it this way: “These aren't the official forums, but I will try to help you out the best I can, if I can't, maybe another member can.” or something like this “We can try to help you out, what is it that you're having problems with?” But if it's something no one can answer, one person just needs to say “None of us know what your problem is, wish we could help, but you'll have to try Halo Waypoint; you might get lucky and find an answer there. If you don't have the link, I can give it to you if you wish.” Just simple things like that will make it look better for us. - now we all like to troll here and there every once and awhile. I'll admit, even I do. But I think it's time we put the trolling down a tad bit. I mean, if it's during a time when the Shoutbox is quiet, and you guys want to mess around, I mean sure, go ahead lets have some fun. But constant trolling and flaming isn't good for us. Imagine this, there's a 12 year old child with leukemia and all we do is troll him and flame him. Later on, the kid writes a Status Update that day- “I came to this site to get help, I only have two months left before I die of leukemia, and all people on the internet do is bully me and think it's funny. I am crying in tears as I type this, I have my mother holding me and my older sister trying to calm me down, thanks you guys.” Haters gone Hating- Alright, so yes we get it, this is a Halo fan site; but I guess you guys haven't read the section called 'Other Games', so that means we must at LEAST talk about one other game. A really good example of this would be Call of Duty, one of Halo's most competitive games made. I have noticed that some of you guys talk trash about it to other members just to flame them, but truth is, it's not that bad of a game as people say it is. Many of you who talk trash about it have a copy of one of the games anyways! So there's no real point in flaming other members over it, who knows? Maybe one of your best friends on here love that game, but they see you talking trash and then they ease their way out of the friendship, and then turn around to your enemies side. Theater Talk- One of the most popular things that happen in the Shoutbox is Back Seat Moderating let it be accidental or intended. Doesn't matter. If you have noticed, which I bet you have, members get really upset when you back seat moderate, especially the Moderators, it's not your job so maybe it's best we all keep away from it. When someone back seat moderates for breaking a rule, not only do they break that rule, but they do cause a disruption. In order to back seat moderate, they have to break a rule, so you are yelling at them for breaking a rule, whilst breaking it yourself. But we all know, once one member gets upset after this an argument occurs and sides are taken in the fight. Which then causes more trouble for our beloved Moderating Team, so I say we just keep it clean and leave it where it lay. Saying something occasionally like “Hey, I'm being nice about this, but please don't do that, it's actually against the rules, we'd hate to see a member like you leave.” If they get upset, just ignore it, let a Moderator handle it if they see it go out of control. Fun with some keg- Alright my last one, TM did say we don't have much fun anymore, right? Like making threads and having fun with Absolute Dog, Spectral Jester, or Twam. Now how about we get something like that set up again? Get some fun going with the moderators? I mean, the Mods have fun with you, changing your name and that, I even think it's fun when they do do that. Don't complain about it, they'll change it back. But that's not everything, you guys remember in any Halo game when you got an adrenaline rush over something exciting? Well if you are having one of those and so happen to be here, why not let the fun explode right out of you? As long as it's not to critical, doesn't kill someone, or breaks any rules; then give it a go! I mean, everyone loves to get involved, you just don't know it. How to ignore someone: Go to top right corner of the website > pull the drop box down by your name > click Ignore | Preferences > type the name of the person you wish to ignore > add them to ignore list. This is how you ignore someone, but keep in mind, you can still see their shouts and all of that, but just like ignoring someone, you can choose to listen to them. But this is at your very own risk, no one else. How to report someone (via post/topic): Go to their post > on the bottom right of the post it says 'Quote' 'Multiquote' and 'Report' > Click report > submit how the post affects YOU. Also, please don't swear or break any rule, make a simple reason explaining why you reported it so you don't get in trouble as well. How to report someone (General): Go to the users profile > under Latest Visitors will be a button saying 'Report Member' > Once you have clicked it submit explaining what the member has done, it does not display quote for quote what you are submitting about; but you can copy and paste it. I advise you do it the same as if you were reporting via post/topic, that way you don't get in trouble for that either. My Personal Advice: “Watch out for Hammer, Bro.”

Alright so I put this link in a status update, but I can't get good feed on YouTube if I don't know who's who there. So I decided I might as well put it here. But first I'd like to thank 2 people: 1. Vaulting Frog for the 2nd picture 2. Brony for the program recommendation to make this. Hope you enjoy this!! Title- Lazuli Lure

Alright, so yeah. I know I have been making a bunch of these. But I would like to show you guys my new signature. You might like it, you might not. But anyways give me your opininons on it, it is in High Definition. I also hope you won't be seeing a thread on my new signautre for a long time too.
