On the morning of October third, I woke up, washed my face, and ate some breakfast. As usual, I loaded up the site first chance I got (which with the return of power to my house after the devastating typhoon that struck Saipan, was immediately) and saw an odd notification. A new comment, from none other than sonic exe42. I was surprised, since normally I only get those from Fishy, with regard to DBZ Abridged. That stuff is awesome, by the way, but I digress. The first thing that came to mind, actually, was that I might be the new member of the month and it was a congratulations. I had occasionally wondered in the past if I'd get that distinction. But my mind dismissed the thought as silly while I loaded up my profile to view the comment. Then my eyes grew wide. Because on my profile was the biggest surprise I've ever had in all my time here: my own group being listed as Member of the Month. I scrolled down. It was indeed a congratulations. And so I went to the Member of the Month topic posted by RSR. I read the main post. I read all the comments, and liked them all to offer my thanks (except Saral's. Keep your like count excellent as it is, my friend.), sincerely honored to see all the congratulations and comments about my Halo skills and advice. In that moment, I felt wonderful because I could see that I've actually been of help, and honored that all of you either thought I had already been MoM or that I had it coming for quite some time. The irony is that a few months ago, I once told Bnus I believed I had very little chance of being MoM. He told me differently, but I never quite believed him. You were right though, Master of Bread. So I thank you all, not only for the motherhood itself but for believing that I truly deserved it. It really does mean a lot to me. There are far too many of you to list individually and knowing how bad I am with names I'd probably miss a few by accident and be completely embarrassed the next time I saw you post or shout. So unfortunately, I can't do a Fishy-style individual address. I will say that I felt a bit of pressure with the honor as well. But that isn't really a bad thing in this case. You guys showed a high regard for my Halo skills in the campaign area, and with the power having just recently returned, the day I was awarded MoM was also the day of my return to Halo after a forced 2 month break. I was a bit nervous that my skills might have dropped, but thank God, that doesn't seem to be the case. A nice deficit of deaths throughout a Halo 2 playthrough and a particularly crazy encounter during the Regret boss fight showed me that. That encounter...it definitely fits in with the Osiris cinematic somewhat. Given that I was on Legendary and have no Spartan Abilities I find that absolutely insane. A sword Elite charged me after surprising me around a corner. I just barely sidestepped, only to find ANOTHER coming around the corner. I jumped over them both at that point, avoiding two simultaneous swings, then turned around and used the Plasma Pistol and Carbine combo on both. As I went back to my original position, a third came around, and I had to do the same to him. Then I saw a red dot on my radar coming up behind me way too fast to be a Grunt, jumped backwards over him, and performed the combo on what turned out to be yet another sword Elite. Then a few plasma rounds hit me in the back and I spun around while moving behind a pillar just in time to not die. When he came around the pillar I ended up having to quickly combo the Plasma Rifle Elite responsible, finishing with a downed shield and narrowly dodging a blast from Regret that I heard coming from the left. All that craziness in a span of 10 seconds. What motivated me throughout the whole thing though was upholding the standard RSR mentioned in the MoM post itself. So if you guys ever need help with any section of CE, 2, 3, or 4...just ask. I'll do my absolute best to help you. You can post requests here, in fact. The other part of the pressure was Halo 5 related. While I can't offer any help in the area of LASO, I'm honored that you guys expect tips from me in Halo 5 as well. I don't know when I can get it...but whenever that time comes, I'll make sure to deliver. See, the pressure here is good in a way because it gives me a reason not to let you guys down. There's a standard for me to continue to meet and I will always aim to do so. An interesting fact is that the month I was given this title is the month of my birth. So I guess, in a way, I can see this as an early birthday present from you guys. It's certainly a nice one. Once again, thanks to all of you. Honor to the end!

Well shoot, where do I even want to start on this. Um... I would like to thank the Academy... Wait no, um... Oh I know, but here. Let’s go with the bad news first, then we’ll go to the good news. Although, this may be flipped responses for some people. I’m totally fine with that. It’s your choice. Hi guys, how’s it going? I’m not too shabby myself. I just have some things to deal with. Which is why I am informing you all that here soon with a few days my activity will decrease. You know those cartoons with the graphs and there’s a line zig-zagging up and down all over, and then at the end there’s a huge drop? That’s what my activity is like. As always though, they find a way to somehow raise it and the next line mirrors it. Getting an increase. Short to say, that’s what I am and will be doing. Over the next couple of months I am raising money to get my own place, 20k is the expected amount I will receive. That way I can fulfill my adulthood, and get my own place. After that, my activity will start to increase. Long ways away, yeah I know. But it is what it is. Next up though, events. I won’t be doing them for awhile now, so all the events I have will be expected to come later on. My Rotation, New Years, and Old vs New per say. Old vs New being the big one, was planning on actually hosting it on Halo: Reach but whatever majority chose between Halo 5 and Halo: Reach, was going to be the deciding vote. Top 10, although I am leaving I will still be doing such a thing except I will be playing the neutral role in the committee. If Yoshi1176 and Edward Kenway want someone, and the other disagrees. I’ll be that third guy. As well as I will still do my Top 10 posts when it’s my turn. August is actually the current one, I won’t be doing it again until November after that. And to top it off with the ice cream in my soup, I hope you guys all have a wonderful time. I know I wasn’t the best member or a great role model. I was actually quite the opposite, notorious and a bad member. How I got MoM, I don’t know. I believe it was because of the things I have done, nothing to do with what I said. As for what I have said and done that hurt or offended those of you. I would like to formally and publicly apologize for what I have did. You know who you guy’s are, and I should know better, I am an adult after-all. Now, I would like to say a few things to a few members I have chosen. Just because I’m the kind of guy to single someone out: Ash- You’re my friend. BATMAN- Out of all the members on the forum, I love you the most. Just because I can and you were one of my earlier friends. Drizzy_Dan- I need to 1v1 you sometime. You’re a good Halo player, as I am as well. We just can’t do this 1v1 anytime soon. You’re also the friendliest person I know, I have heard you put someone down, but that’s like a 1 in a million. Other than that, you’re nice. You probably can’t stand having a guilty conscious, or it’s just not in you. I respect that. You’re like a mirror of me, per-say. Edward Kenway- Although we do not get along. You still manage to find a way to break the barrier and then we both end up getting punished for what we have did. Nonetheless, it’s fun to play with you. Even if it’s for attention, I don’t mind as long as we’re having fun. And thanks for help making the videos when I am unable to do so myself. Halo5 Follower- Not everyone knows your name, otherwise I would have started out with “[Your Name] :3” like vast majority of the Community. Nonetheless, thanks for watching. I never thought there were people out there who could enjoy sitting and watching other people game than gaming themselves. You watch a lot of the streams and you have made helpful comments and suggestions when I’m forging a map. I hope you and Keko never leave the forums. Melody- Honestly, I don’t know why you’re my friend. You like things I do not like or care for. Hello Kitty and Eevee are some of those. If you can explain our friendship, I may be able to understand. I’m sorry, maybe it’s just the friendliness? I appreciate it. ShadowFiend216- You have been acknowledged my good sir. Also, you remind me of Sir Hammerlock for some reason. Never could put my finger on why... Wam- Dragon says “Hi.” also, regarding Dragon. I didn’t want to tell you this because I didn’t want you to get sad, but I knew I would have to tell you eventually. Dragon is sick, he hasn’t been eating here lately nor getting himself hydrated, he’s been trying to hibernate, and he’s been having ruptures, and he hasn’t been going potty. I’m trying to do my best though to recover him, he’s starting to get better, but slowly. I’m hoping here with the next few weeks he will recover. Besides Dragon, you’re fun to play with and you have an obnoxious personality. Even though you’re shy. We appreciate you for playing with Halo Team Assemble as well as helping people out. Oh, and git gud cuz u suk. #KryllAreComingToGetYa Yang Xiao Long- Someone I have a tough relationship with. Don’t even know where it stands. Nonetheless, I stole your pink and I shouldn’t have done so. I will return it to you to bestow upon yourself or another. Yoshi1176- Oh god, why I listed you is just so you wouldn’t hound me in the chat about not listing you. You’re hard headed, that’s for sure. Plus, you’re someone to play with on GTA. I have no idea what you did to make GSD and Twam no longer want to play with us, but you need to do something about it. Other than that, you were okay when we first met. I helped you with your presidency. I was the General, did what I could before I resigned from my General position when Maestro took office. Zero3366/Meta Knight- Even though you’re not here right now, you promised you’d come back to the site and be more active again. I’m glad you are choosing to do so. If you eventually fulfill your promise, and are reading this. Thanks for coming back bud, I have missed you. Also, be careful. Things aren’t what they used too. Last but not least, I would like to thank the academy. All I wish for is a Dragon smiley. Anyways, thanks guys, see ya around.
