I will be opening my co-owned Clan up to the public soon.. We are called NOVA and we have a really good combat record.. CLOSED FOR NOW.. WILL RE-OPEN SOON.. ANY MESSAGES AFTER THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE IGNORED. **OPENING IN A MATTER OF DAYS.. FOLLOW THIS TOPIC OR ADD ME AS A FRIEND ON THE FORUMS TO STAY UPDATED WITH MY CLAN AND ITS PUBLIC RELEASE.. THANKS** STATS/Back Story: We come from Halo: Reach.. In Halo:Reach we went by NOBLE, but now its NOVA.. (if you want a explanation message me).. In Halo: Reach we are undefeated to this day. We never lost a clan battle and we always won Slayer Matches in Matchmaking.. We were always a closed clan, but now that Halo 4 is out, we decided to try something new.. JOINING: If you want to join NOVA you must be tested by me or one of my fellow clan owners. You must be on XBOX LIVE almost daily and you must be ready to be called in if we need you in a clan battle.. (Dont worry, the test is really Easy!!).. The chance of you getting in the clan is about 85-90%. But still that doesnt mean you will be guaranteed a spot.. So if you are good at Halo 4 and you wish to join a MLG clan, message me privately, reply below with your gamertag, or send me a message on Xbox. GAMERTAG: xExplicitR4zor

What is real, what is imaginary? Most of my personal side is non existent. I have been living a half "virtual" and half "real" life. I always thought it was normal as a kid to imagine crazy things, put myself in situations for long periods of time experience things life did not have to offer, or did it? As a shy kid when I was in places with people I was too scared to talk to and didn't have enough confidence my brain did something I didn't even want to think about, I created my own friends. I knew they were not real, nor did I believe in their presence but they held a foundation in my mind, years went by, we did almost everything together and I felt real emotion. I would almost test my brain out, when they would die, I would physically cry. As of last year I really wondered about my mental state and why I couldn't just let them go, I thought I was crazy (that could totally be true! lol). Today, I am no longer shy, although they still roam the streets and sights I have also created, a whole city. (I laughed a little on the inside when I watched inception for the first time ). I know what is real and the fun I had in creating everything was something great, I have no regrets in the time I wasted then, now and in the future because life is life, always live it to it's fullest. I know this is very off topic but it was nice to get off my mind and to actually write down, thanks for reading.

I aim to please with my guests on these threads I make and surely you should be pleased with this one. This time I diverted my attention from the Dedicated section and went to the Members, but this is no ordinary member. This one has been here much longer than most of the Dedicated Members here on the forums. Ladies and Gentlemen: Nova. Enjoy. DD: "Where does your name come from Nova?" NOVA: "My name comes from two things. The place from which I live, Nova Scotia and comes from my [initials]. N.E.W. New is Nova in old Latin and from where Nova Scotia gets it's name, New Scotland." DD: "Wow that's interesting, that holds much more meaning than my name does I'll tell you that haha. And Nova, what is that symbol you use for your display picture? It looks Forerunner in origin." NOVA: "Yes! when I saw Adam's avatar of [Offensive] Bias's symbol it intrigued me. I decided to make my own and came up with that design a few months ago. It doesn't quite follow the rules but I liked it and it was my own." DD: "A unique Forerunner-influenced symbol, that is something! Master Chief thumb up on that one: . Ok Nova you're going to be one of the few members who have been here a full year in about a week, as many of our users may not have known, so what has kept you coming back to the site for this long?" NOVA: "Like a new life was to people coming to america, Halo 4 is the magnet that seems to bring everyone in. That same drive went for me. I joined before Halo 4 was even announce and was thirsty for that little drop of Halo 4 information at the time. I left for some time and came back to a new and prosperous forum. I stayed for the community and the people and in these last few months the forum has become something so much more." DD: "Indeed everybody wants their scoop on Halo 4 haha. Being here for almost a year now, have you seen the sense of community change? Has it gotten better, worse, or stayed the same?" NOVA: "It has gotten better but mostly stayed the same. I know everyone has been a little freaked out about people leaving or taking a break lately but people have always been leaving. That is why I am now one of the oldest members. I believe the community has gotten better overall. With more people joining we will always see more spam, etc but with more people we will also gain more members that will contribute to the forum and improve it overall :)" DD: "I see and are you ticked off in the least that they took away the 'One Year Member' award?" NOVA: "Sorta... I would like it if it had stayed and not only me but older members could get it as a little respect for the time they have spent on the forum. But if we had spent this amount of time, I don't think we would really care about an award, we would be happy with what we have on the forum and let our one year anniversary be like any other day. I wont be treating it like any other day but I will give thanks to everyone. It wont be a day about me but the people who make my day, everyday." DD: "Awesome Nova just awesome. Everything you do just has so much meaning and I think it's great. Now... We have all experienced a great loss here on the site, but it seems to have affected you a lot more than some other people: the absence of Absolute Dog. I know you've posted your thoughts about it in his thread but what kept you so close to AD?" NOVA: "Honestly, I don't think I was that close to him. Jester and many others where great friends to him, but still I looked up to him and he was a friend. Playing play-dates with him were just amazing, he had and I believe still has so much to say. Like I hinted before. The forum has made my day, everyday and for the last months, it was needed. My friends and I went our way. They were the same that introduced me to halo and life wasn't quite the same. I have recently dragged myself out of that dark pit and the forum was the drug that kept me pushing. Loosing AD is like loosing another friend, it was hard and I teared up slightly when I heard he was leaving. Everyone has silently helped me though and I thank everyone, [including] AD with all the thanks I can give." DD: "I teared up a bit too reading AD's real post about leaving realizing it was not an April Fools joke this time. With Fire rejoining the Community Moderators I've still heard talk about the possiblity of there being a new Mod. Who do you think would be well suited for the job?" NOVA: "I couldn't say on the fly. There are many members that do and do not deserve to be a Mod. A good person who takes place in the play-dates, is always there for people on the forum and for goodness sake has a sense of humor sounds great to me." DD: "Alright Nova, what achievement do you feel most accomplished of (an award, your membership length, a thread, etc.)?" NOVA: "None , I have yet to make something I am proud of yet but of those I would have to say my membership length. I still have so much I want to do and I believe this quote says it all. 'There is much talk, and I have listened, through rock and metal and time. Now I shall talk, and you shall listen." -Gravemind.'" DD: "Very interesting so what is it, or one thing in general, that you wish to achieve in the near future?" NOVA: "Well, I would really like to help Theorix by making signatures. I still have yet to bye the supplies to help him. It will also take some time to develop at least half of the skills he has achieved." DD: "I support the idea of more than one artist in the Sig Shop! Although you are still only at Member status, you are a senior to the majority of users on the site which entitles you to give your advice to newer members to the forums. So, Nova, what is your advice to newer members of the forums?" NOVA: "Yes I am still just a member and any advice I could give to newer members would be, be nice to others. I wanted to come up with a great big an nice piece of advice but just be nice to people. The internet is a place of no regrets. Only people with self confidence can be nice to other people, so have confidence in yourself also, don't be afraid to play things close to the edge if you are confident in yourself." There you have it folks! Thank you to Nova for giving me his time because these interviews do take about an hour or more through PM haha. Shout out to theorix once again, congratulations on being the most mentioned member in these threads. Thank you 343 Industries Community Forum and tune in next MONDAY for another new Interview with Stars of the Community! Remember just because I haven't interviewed you doesn't mean I won't.
