Destiny Member Memorial Wall
[b][u]NOTICE:[/u][/b] 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 [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74990525&postRepeater1-p=1]DE4THINC4RN4TE[/url] and [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74987355&postRepeater1-p=1]MaxRealflugel[/url] for the basic idea.

This all sounds quite interesting and a cool idea!

It would be cool, but it is never going to happen lmao

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Primo84 This is a silly idea, and it does not have my support. [/quote] This, if you wanted to have a "memorial" of active Bnet members who stayed through the darkness then fine, but giving ranks thereby creating a "hierarchy" is just stupid.

[/quote] Actually they did, kinda. On "requiem" in the halo 3 legendary cutscene you can see the seventh column on the planet ([url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081120092526/halo/images/thumb/0/08/Legendary_Planet.jpg/1000px-Legendary_Planet.jpg]here[/url]). The[url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/The_Seventh_Column] seventh column[/url] [quote]The Seventh Column is the name of Bungie's official fanclub and underground army. [/quote]so I suppose that that's a reference to the community?

If we made a real one, we could call it the Waiting Wall.
-
I think the ranks would be too much, but I like the idea of being referenced as a rock in Destiny.

i agree, if you are going to use ranks just use the current titles.

[/quote]Your concern is understandable. I purposefully left out Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic for the explicit purpose of avoiding "elitism" (overused term). I simply thought the ranks would be a nice touch and the current ranks (they would not change over time) would be a simple way for Bungie to keep a fairly realistic spread of ranks (i.e. Fewer Majors than Privates). If it would make you more amiable to the idea, the ranks could just as well be randomized, or scrapped altogether, although it would not bear much similarity to a memorial. Forgive the serious reference, but [url=http://eagles.lexington.isd.tenet.edu/campuses/lhs/webdesignteam/Wall%20Vietnam.jpg]this[/url] is really how I've been imagining the memorial the whole time. It would not, needless to say, be intended to mock the Vietnam memorial.

The thread was mine. The idea for a memorial in the form of a wall was mine. Stolen my idea you have. Not sure how to respond I am.

Meh. Seems like a good idea but there's alot of us here, it'd be a pretty damn big wall.
