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..

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.
