Okay, so from the recent discussion, I have taken the names from the previous list that had their Spartan numbers over the value of 999, and I've moved them to the experimental list.
3. I believe they were in Alpha Company, I remember reading about them dying.
I am noting this, but I would like a confirmation from someone else just to be sure, at least for Rosenda-344.
I'd only go out to Delta and Epsilon companies for the SPARTAN-III's. It provides room for another 700 or so names, but that's just my opinion. However, I do like your idea of keeping around a Theta squad as sort-of a lone wolf and random squad.
I like this response. In fact, I enjoyed all the responses relating to possible squads we don't know of that could possibly exist. I especially also liked the statement that we really only knew about the squads on Onyx.
Not sure if I'm going to drop all those letters immediately, but like I said, I am interested in reducing them.
But I do think I will change the list from:
Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι K Λ M N Ξ Ο Π Ρ Τ Υ Φ Χ Ψ Ω
to:
Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Θ Ω
I think that for Α Β Γ Δ, almost no additional information is needed, those are solid and in place.
A - we know this existed
B - we know this existed
Γ - we know they were being trained
Δ - we can assume that this was started, whether it was on onyx or not.
For Δ (Delta), I suggest that we say that it was Halsey affiliated, however, we could come up with a planet that the company was being trained on other than Onyx.
It needs to be a known planet in the universe that was occupied by modern humans (at least before getting wiped out by Covenant forces), and it needs to have not been attacked before Onyx was.
Any suggestions?
I would love to hear some reasoning behind what planet(s) get chosen
As for E (Epsilon), Z (Zeta), Θ (Theta), and Ω (Omega), I would appreciate suggestions for grouping those who do not specify their squad, yet use a value in their name that is not A/B/G/D. That way I'll have an easier time sorting them.
(...and yes, omega was too cool to get thrown under the bus lol)
The most simple system I can think of is splitting E and Z 50/50, and giving each around 10 Letters of the remaining 21 in the English alphabet.
E = C, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O (11)
Z = P, Q, R, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z (10)
Then, We can reserve Θ for special operations and Ω for lone wolf stuff or something. Idk...
Maybe keeping both is redundant.... :confused
Oh, and I know that I've used Squad/Company interchangeably, as I have seen it used as such on the wiki/wikia, so I believe it to be correct, and as such, I will be keeping it this way.
Now, while I am keeping it this way, for those who listed themselves as "Squad Leader", I will be changing it to "Team Leader" now that we have a new organizational system.
As of right now, all the changes have taken place, with the exception of the Spartan-IIIs being sorted.
I'm definitely liking the shorter list, and it will definitely prolong reaching the character limit for the post now that all the extra Squads have been removed.
