This is the OFFICIAL base of operations for the New Mombasa Strike Team! (NMST)

As we all know, New Mombasa is in a terrible way. Mass flaming, spamming, pointless threads. The moderators are hard pushed to sort out these problems. So it is up to us, the humble forum users, to help out. So, if you are up to the challenge, join the NMST now!

Our official duties will include...

-Posting interesting, worthwhile conversation about Halo 2.
-Cooling down potential flame wars
-Advising ignorance against spamming
-Helping out the new guys, and getting them used to the idea of interesting debate rather than 'Your -blam!-' 'Your a dumbass' type flaming.
-In cases such as ILB, helping to keep things tip top and under control.

So if you are interested, or want to hear more, PM Stalin the 31st (me) your fearless leader, or post questions and completed application forms (read as-posting your name) on this thread.

*Place motto here* I will think of a motto, and place it tommorow morning.

I shall crusade against the forces of chaos, and force upon the hordes order. Where there was once darkness there shall be light!

*cough cough* Excuse me, too much playing as the Space Marines in the Dawn of War Beta.

I'm willing to give this a shot.

I'm certifiable.

I will help, but I'm still going to abide by my earlier decision to stay out of New Mombasa until Labour Day. We'll all be better off if I have a cool-down/time-out, and I do want to have my cut-and-paste responses ready to go.

As I get those canned responses done, I'll post them up in a thread here for easy access.

I'll go. I'd rather try and stay away from New Mombasa though, but if it has to be done...

I'll sign up...In fact, I was just about to post something like "All the septagon goers should start to blitzkrieg the NM forum" in one of the 'NM is a disgrace' threads.

Besides, there will be others who can keep an eye on The Septagon while we're out. Right?

*looks up at the top of the fourm topic lists*

See? Everything will be just fine. We've got HALO WOLF 89 typing "well eney one els" after each new person posts in the "Introduce Yourself" topic. Yep, this will be dandy, what's the worst that could happen?


hahahahahahahahahaha... so very true... Yes, you didn't even need to ask Stalin ;)

"eny one els?"

Okay troops! When chapter creation is back up the NMST shall become a chapter (I feel we will be dug in for the long haul, so this will be neccesary). Obviously it shall be a secret base, so it will be under a different name. You will all be notified as to what that name is.

So, before I give more of my idea, let me give roll call.

Right, these are the members I got so far..
Stalin the 31st (founder and leader)
Banshee Barron
Recon Number 54
abolitionofman
Halo53
Masterchief1790
Texas Ben
Baerdog7
Jason_4_04
Anton P Nym
Vella
Shadowbane
antiherosk8ter
Silent Hunter
Surge
littlerat
Desolation
Gaara of Sand
idestroy00

Lt Devon (PM)

Well shut my mouth, that be 21 members! Ok, for now, this thread is the base of operations. Once a week I will post some sort of update here, although I currently have no idea what that update will be. After a week or so an organised sortie in enemy territory (New Mombasa) will be arranged so watch out for that. For the meantime, do the following things.

*Add something to your sig that tells people you are a member of the NMST. We are a rag tag bunch right now, so it doesn't have to be 'official'. Just something funny that tells people you are a member of NMST

*If a bunch of soldiers are around at once, head on over to NM and do what we do best. Stop flame wars, post interesting conversation, advise ignorance against spammers etc. You know the drill. There are bound to be a few users online at any given time of day so if you are, GET OVER THERE!

*While we have no official memory (Mod tools) our arsenal is still pretty potent. We have...
-A cool, calm, collected approach to flaming (When under fire from flamers, don't flame back-use your mind and your wits to defeat them)
-Logical and rational thinking
-Passion for debate and discussion
-Willingness to help the community
-Much more, but you know already.

So use all these things and get posting on New Mombasa! We need to dilute the flood of repetitve posts in New Mombasa, and the only way to do that is with interesting posts discussing Halo 2. My advice would be to not be TOO smart with your language, or topics discussed. Make sure you post words that New Mombasians will understand, and topics they can comprehend. Remember, they are like the villagers, and this will be their village we are stepping into. We got to use their language, and follow there culture TO SOME EXTENT.

So thats it! Thats the update. You are all now members of the New Mombasa Strike Team.
Lets rock and roll!

A few ideas for mottos.... Posted at the end of each of my updates, and motto for the chapter...

* Together we discuss, divided they flame
Ok, thats all I got. If anyone can think of any others, post them. I shall pick the best.

Just about everyone will be back in school by th 12th. I doubt there'll be much of a problem after that.


(good idea though)
