This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

NOTICE: I am not claiming that anybody here has done anything to deserve any recognition whatsoever. This is merely a fun idea.

The names of active users could be generated by post history for the past year. Every post has a time stamp (look at the bottom of your post) so I imagine compiling a list would not be that hard for Bungie to do.

I posted almost an identical post to this in a thread, but I felt it bears it's own thread. The basic idea was not mine, although I cannot recall who thought of it first.

In essence, the idea would be to create a Vietnam Memorial-style wall with references to all the members here on B.net who stayed active throughout the darkness. The names would go something like the following:
Brig Gen Foman
Maj Burrito
SSgt Mythical Wolf
Brig Gen Duardo
Col Evilcam
Gen Achronos
Etc.

Granted, there would be several thousand names on it, but that honestly is not all that many if they are packed front and back on a wall. Ranks could be determined based on trust rating and title prefixes.

(Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = PVT
Honorable (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Cpl
Veteran (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = SSgt
Noble (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = MSgt
Senior (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = MGySgt
Elder (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = SgtMaj
Intrepid (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = 1st Lt
Fabled (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Capt
Exalted (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Maj
Forum Ninja = Col
Master Forum Ninja = Brig Gen
Bungie Employee = Lt Gen
Superuser = Gen

(All of these are legitimate Marine Corps ranks, but they could just as well be fictional if that was somehow preferable)

EDIT-Credit goes to DE4THINC4RN4TE and MaxRealflugel for the basic idea.

This is a silly idea, and it does not have my support.

I thought of this, but it would just be a one time "freeze-frame" of what you are.

How are you going to tell which people stayed and which did not?

We already know Bungie can track activity. So they would just track your activity for the last year or so.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Do you know how long that would take?

Not that long. It would be a script doing it automatically.

Oi, stop moaning people, it's not something you see everyday in the screw. @ OP, sure it has a few flaws but then any project does, it takes a bit of hard work to keep a project going. I think it sounds alright. Good luck :)

There would be tons of variables. And how would you know if the person is staying for Bungie or just hanging around for a private group or two.

I'm not moaning about it. I like the idea, but i just wanted to know how it was going to work. Now that I do I have a clearer idea as to what is going to go into this.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Why change the ranking system that we already have? But if you want to do it, here is a recommendation for the ranks:
(Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Private
Honorable (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Lance Corporal
Veteran (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Corporal
Noble (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Sergeant
Senior (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Gunnery Sergeant
Elder (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Lieutenant
Intrepid (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Captain
Fabled (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Major
Exalted (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Lieutenant Colonel
Forum Ninja = Colonel
Master Forum Ninja = General
Bungie Employee = Commander in Chief
Superuser = Who? (Warrant Officer, I guess)

It's a rather simple system.

Of course we didn't. To say that by supporting something we deserve to be a part of it is ridiculous. I thought that it would be an interesting easter egg; I was not claiming we were entitled to it.

And the actual ranks are quite flexible.

Good point. As an easter egg hidden away somewhere it might be kind of neat.

Very close. I think he was suggesting using Halo ranks rather than USMC ranks.
