Regiment membership - please all read

FANGS

Commanding Officer
Community Staff
Division Staff
I'm noticing a great deal of people who qualify to be part of a Regiment (ie: Type B Membership with 50 posts and 90 days) but have not yet been added.

Please take a moment to let us know here if you wish to be added and we'll get that taken care of for you.

So, what is a Regiment?

The 405th is more than an online community, we also work to connect Halo cosplayers in Real Life through our local “Regiments” which allow members to meet other people in their area who share their passions. Basically, a Regiment is a locally organized chapter of the wider 405th. The local Regiments are designed to allow people to meet, get to know, and work with other Halo Cosplayers in their area. These local Regiments provide a sense of Identity and Community to members and give them a space to call their own.

Additionally, the 405th participates in many events around the globe, from Game Releases, Conventions, and even Minor League Baseball games, and these Local Regiments allow us to professionally organize these events, look out for our members in attendance at these events, and put forward the best face for both the 405th and the Halo Franchise as a whole.


What does it take to join a regiment?

Membership in a regiment is an entirely voluntary process. The Armory (The New File Archive) and all sections of the Forum, except for the local regiment sections, are open to any Registered Forum Member. You do not need to join a Regiment to download files, post in the costume creation sections, or show off your build.

However, if a member decides to take the next step and join a regiment and get more involved with local fellow 405th members, they must first make sure that their account is more than 90 days old and that they have over 50 posts. This demonstrates that the member is committed to actively participating with the 405th Organization. Once a member has 50 posts on an account that is over 90 days old, they then post in this thread and request to be added to their local Regiment.

The Regimental Membership Officer, or RMO, for that Regiment is responsible for checking this thread and confirming that the member meets the requirements and belongs in their Regiment. At that time the local RMO will then give the go ahead in a special thread in the Regimental Command Staff Section for the member to be added to the Regiment.

I posted in this thread, but I am still not in a Regiment. What do I do?

If you have not heard back from your Local RMO after posting on this thread, your first step should be to contact them. If you do not hear back from your local RMO, the next step should be to contact your local RCO. If your local RCO does not respond to you, then you should bring it to the attention of Division Staff Member, such as FANGS or Cadet and we will look into the issue.

Do understand that all Division and Regimental Officers are only volunteers doing this in their free time, and real life issues may distract them and keep them away from the Forum from time to time.

Hello! I've reached my 50th post (and almost have a suit ready for deployment) When someone gets the chance I'd like to join the Pacific Regiment. I'd also understand if not all my post meet the criteria stated above by Cadet and that delays my enlistment.
The request has been placed, but there are some backend issues right now that might delay things. Feel free to reach out to me, SubXzeroXhero, or ArcSol if you have questions

Requesting permission to join the Pacific Regiment please!

Shoutout and thanks to Lukavago, pipninja, and SubXzeroXhero for recruiting me at WA Gaming Expo earlier this year and inviting me to this amazing community. ❤️
Hello, I see that you have made 24, or approximately half of the required 50 posts, in the past 48 hours. Many of these posts were also simple declarative statements that did not actually contribute to the content of the thread..

The intent of the 50 posts requirement is to show that you are a positive, contributing member of the community, with an investment in the greater community. As such we ask that members do not attempt to reach the required post count requirement for Regiment Membership by making all 50 posts in a short amount of time by posting simple statements in as many threads as they can.

Okay so should I hit you up again when I get to 100? I’m new so I don’t have a ton to contribute. Just keep it to my own build thread?

There is no need to wait for another 50 posts. We just ask that you understand and respect the intent of the 50 Post Limit, and in the future take care to consider what and when you are posting to prevent spamming the Forums with less than helpful or applicable posts that can cause actual on topic and constructive posts to be lost in the noise caused by this behavior.

Your own build thread is a good place to post, but again please try to be mindful of how often you are posting there. If you are going to post in another Member's thread please try to make constructive posts. Don't just say "Wild" or "Looks good." Ask questions, engage, use your posts to build connections and friendships, to learn, and to encourage others with specific compliments or feedback that will make them feel your are invested in their build.
