HAMr v-2 In this thread lies the ideas that sparked the revamp and reconstruction of Halo: The RP. Almost all the ideas here were implemented, and are still being put to good use. We are forever grateful for those members that spoke their minds and provided us with the conjectures that formed the guild. Nothing has been editted in this thread, so as to preserve the uniqueness and honor those who are no longer with us.
Here they are. ~ Michael Hammer [HAMr v-2] Share your ideas on renovating the guild.

Updating and streamlining the armory. While what we have is great, there could be a common theme in the weapon data. We should also include information about the different types of ballistics armor the UNSCDF uses.
And I just want to toss this up for debate, but we should really think about doing away with the upgradeable-weapons-fer cash policy and perhaps think of another way to do it, or simply retire the idea. My reason for suggesting this is that it is somewhat unrealistic in what the guild is attempting to do, portray a military in a constant struggle with total annihilation. Most modern soldiers don't modify their weapons all that much, and if they do they are modified for certain tasks, ie. a Rifleman and a grenadier may use the same type of rifle, but the grenadier would have an under-slung grenade launcher. I think that upgrades should only be made available to certain units for specific missions, not as a permanent thing.
Perhaps you could simply have a variety of different versions of the same weapon, for example a BR55-M45 Battle-Rifle with grenade launcher, or the MA5C-M9 with an under-slung shotgun attachment rather than the under-slung flashlight. I just pulled those numbers out of nowhere, but I think you guys understand what I mean right?
Another thing I wanted to touch on is the labelling system for the units. You have people listed in platoons. Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma I believe. This is somewhat silly, as a Platoon is only composed of around 40 men or 4 squads. Not to mention the fact that they are labeled by number not phonetic. Alpha Company would be closer to what you are trying to accomplish. I would also suggest creating unit divisions, ie. F Company, 2nd Battalion, 504th Orbital Drop Infantry Regiment, 105th ODST Division. Something like that, while seemingly complex, can actually help the organization of the guild dramatically, because as long as the information is readily available or in someones signature you can tell-at-a-glance which unit they belong to. While this may seem pointless it did help us over at H:OSK, and I thought it might be worth a try here.

Yes things do need to be streamlined, which is already being worked on though. The upgrading policy on weapons and weapon accessories should be done away with altogether in my personal opinion. It's a good idea for a way of keeping people restricted, and under control so they don't go wild with their weapons. But its ultimately something that should be done away with.
And soldiers will modify their weapons a little actually as long as it is approved by their commander, but its based on mission necessity most of the time or to improve functionality. If it's not needed, it's just extra weight you have to haul around, and no soldier likes that.
Like there is not a single machine gunner that would realistically like to run around with his SAW and then attach a grenade launcher to it to have to haul that + the extra ammo he would need to carry to be able to use the launcher.
You have a certain weapon mainly because of your purpose as a soldier. If your a support gunner, you have a support weapon (i.e. light machine gun) and that is your role. You provide SUPPORT to fellow troops. To try and do exactly the same things a normal rifleman might do like entering rooms, would be much more difficult, because you have more weight to haul.
I agree, upgrades, if at all necessary, should only be given to more specialized units and when needed for missions that might call for such additions.
Element organization does need to be cleaned up. I think this is something I will begin to work on.
Since we are dealing with Marines and Navy, we will set up our organization accordingly.
As long as guild members are keeping themselves up-to-date, and MODs are keeping things up-to-date, we shouldn't have a problem.

You guys pretty much touched upon everything I was going to talk about, except for ranks and what-not. The vast majority of the guild are either Marine's or ODSTs, rather than Navy personnel. I understand the need for Navy ranks, but they're just sitting there and I believe that needs to be dealt with accordingly. For example; Lieutenant Commander Michael Hammer is the same thing as Major Michael Hammer, and in regards to our guild's large role play he is not part of the Navy (he's an ODST.) My research has resulted in a conclusion that there are only four people within this guild qualified with permission to take control of a UNSC / Covenant vessel, three of which hardly ever log on and post.
What are we going to do about that?
Now, regarding the storyline. Instead of deleting threads that were once role played in, why don't we make a Sub forum archive. In my guild (Halo: Operation Shadow King) we have a 'Codex' sub forum which we move previous RP threads to, allowing newcomers and even veterans to read up on if they wish. Seeing as how the guild is being Repaired and revamped, I suggest the Sub forum archive.
I'm going to start immediately cleaning out the forums of threads that pertain no use for the guild.

I like the idea of thread archiving. (which is why I had begun to move some of dormant threads to one of the sub forums.)
but an actual labeled archive of the threads, the like guilds RP history pretty much, would be good way to keep old things organized and to be able to look back on our guild's history, a written documentary biggrin

Yep, that's what I was talking about. So, shall we get down to business?
I'm going to make an anouncement about posts in the main forum, and how they should be in the chatterbox.
