Implying I would ever dual wield instead of using the UZI properly. For shame.

1. Well made wings with a moderately spicy sauce. Hot, but not so extreme I can't enjoy them. 2. Spicy Mexican food. 3. Well made hot sauces. Three of my favorites are Poot's Peppa Sauce - The Cat's Me-OW Psycho Bitch ON FIRE! Professor Phardtpounder's Colon Cleaner

I read this as And thought of.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0si6wsZWn6g

Unless Huttser used non-Ordo gear or the ancient old fleetships, I can guarantee he did no such thing.

No. It is the new muzzle brake from Damage Industries. It is available in 1/2x28, 5/8x24 for AR's and 14-1 for AK's. It is similar to the original muzzle brake used on the Barret M468. Right now I only need four more parts to have a functioning rifle: gas block, gas tube, handguard and bolt carrier group. The only one I am somewhat undecided on the the handguard, as I am looking between four different ones.

I don't even... What?

Here is an updated picture. The door on there is a stand in that came with the parts. The engrave-able surface is smaller than a dime, so I am not 100% sure it will be worth it. :x

What time do we expect the PS2 shenanigans to begin?

Scheduling for PS2 is much easier is there will always be targets. Having a fixed rally time for SL will allow us to have more assemble, but may not guarantee a fitting target. That said, I do like the alternating day format. We should still make sure we encourage SL activity on PS2 days before the PS2 operation time.

I got the Beta Access but haven't downloaded it yet because I have been busy. Is it worth it?

Oh yeah one thing I forgot to add. While the dust cover door itself is just held into place by a rod and one end of it is held captive by a c-clip, the other side is held in place by the end of the handguard assembly(Delta ring for a standard handguard, other parts for a free floating system). This means that changing the dust cover door requires removing and re-installing the handguard assembly, which requires special tools and a special vice insert. This door would be expected to be in place for a long while and is not something I could just change out at will, like the grips on a 1911.

Pfft. Make your own design. Those are just examples. :<

IRL I am building an AR-15 pattern rifle completely from the pistol grip up (as opposed to just slapping two receivers together). While looking around at some of the different parts, I found a few places that will do custom laser engraving on various pieces. One of these is the lower receiver, but I have already assembled it completely and have no desire to go through the FFL process to get the thing engraved anyways. Another part that is commonly engraved is the dust cover. For those who don't know/aren't familiar with it, it is a rounded rectangular part that is on the right side of the upper receiver that snaps closed to keep dust from entering through the ejection port. When the first shot is fired, the cover opens under spring pressure when its latch is disengaged. Commercially, you can get pre-engraved dust covers, but many of them have logos or phrases that I don't much care for (personal taste of what I would/wouldn't want on the side of my rifle), like the Punisher logo, "ZOMBIE HUNTER", and the rather amusing "SURPRISE COCK FAGS". Some have text/images on the inside, the outside, or both. Here are some examples: Anyways, recalling the results of the custom engraved 1911 grips Aryte has with the Ordo logo, and after 6 years of service in Ordo, I figured it could be neat to get one with the Ordo logo. I was trying to figure out how to lay that kind of design out, as the logo could go on one side of the latch but then I don't know what to put on the other. I also couldn't decide if it should be on the inside or the outside. Then I got thinking on some other ideas and figured I might as well see what all you guys think and if you have any cool ideas. For reference, here is what the dust cover looks like in the closed and open positions: The dimensions of the dust cover limits things a bit. They are about 3" long and 1" tall, and the length is divided into two halves by the latch mechanism. Some basic rules for design ideas. 1. It can't be too obscene. This will be seen by others. 2. No military insignias. I feel that would be disrespectful to those who have actually served. 3. Nothing stupid. :/ Here are some ideas I have had. 1. Ordo logo on the inside panel closest to the pistol grip (back panel). No idea what, if anything, would look good on the other inside panel 2. "FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY" on the back inside panel like an M18 Apers mine and an arrow pointing towards the muzzle on the front inside panel like an AT4. 3. Either of the above ideas, but on the outside of the panel so they would only be visible when the ejection port is covered / dust cover is closed. The problem is it wouldn't be seen during use much. 4. Possibly do something with the Ironsight Armaments logo. Not sure on that one but an idea to have the logo on the back panel and possibly the text on the front. 5. A kosher certification symbol or the words "CERTIFIED KOSHER" 6. AR-15 bolt face logo on the back panel. Blank front panel or caliber listed on front panel That's pretty much all I have idea wise. Let me know what you think, if you would lay them out differently, or if you have any fun ideas of your own.

Vanguard was good for at least one thing. I like the phrase "Tactical Prostitute"

Salem. I already posted it. Why would you go and post it again? George: I didn't cause the plush to explode.

Take off your fancy grips before you send it in. Also, what is wrong with it?

No. I missed a lot of people and events. :(

As of today, I have been with the Ordo in its forms for six years. Makes me feel proud to have withstood the test of time. It also makes me feel old and wanting to make a walker out of the old Schola M16's. However, the most important thing I can do is to share some of what I have observed and learned over the past years, especially in this time of people my age retiring and some general unrest in the community. This isn't the first time people have claimed the sky is falling, and it won't be the last. Sit tight, shoot some bitches, have fun, and while you are at it grab a beer. So what have I seen and learned through all this? Well let's start a list... ---Pre Ordo Era--- 0. My original account name was "Squee Xiao". It lasted less than 15 minutes before I realized "Wow this is a pretty stupid name to have people call me on an MMO.". The name was from a forum name I used on the Red vs Blue forums. Karl brought me into Second Life after I became curious of where the pictures of his avatar (a white snow leopard on the edge of a hot tub) that were posted on his profile were from. Squee is the name of a character in two of my favorite graphic novels written by Jhonen Vasquez. 1. The AN2. Read your handbook for more Information. 2. Carnage Island. Physics based combat HUD island. Think New Jessie, but with HUD's. 3. The MDF. Not particle board, but a rather useless and underhanded military. I was in that for less than 6 hours before Aryte "recruited" me. 4. Novus Ordo Imperialis. In case you can't tell by the name, this was the precursor to Ordo Imperialis. We spent our days ins a sim called Macaroth. It was the first imperial city and it was mostly the same for its entire existence, although it did change to the giant snow fortress towards the end. Training was three phases and done with rifles that were larger than you were. Aryte had an "office" on the top of the tallest tower, and by office, I mean a desk with a door. You could go around the door, sure, but you knocked anyways. Back then we had this strange system of "Legions" instead of divisions, and our ranks were worn as floating text because SL groups only had three titles. Names like Zeal Zenith, Redemption Islander, Leet Seattle, and Jeremy Duport were in the group. Our spawn was a small dock at the bottom of a ramp and we posted watches to notify the group if hostiles came in. 5. Luskwood made the best looking furry avatars. :v 6. Mainland sim military bases. Some of these were just "outposts" while others were half sim bases. They were laggy and not very efficient. 5. Prim armor and SL shine were the standards. We looked like walking trashcans and had one of the better sets. Our guns were covered with shiny. 6. Sirlor Stonecutter scripts were the cutting edge. Then Timmahy came along and whiped him from the group. Our weapons ranged from the blocky VAR (Vindicator Assault Rifle) and the elite KVR (Keno something Rifle) sniper rifle. We had a small pistol and eventually brought out the "big guns": the JAS-2 shotguns and the FA-6 which became the scourge of the SLMC at the time (often reffered to by the enemies as "Lag in a can"). Crazy high rate of fire for the time and it shat out prim casings all the while. 7. Operation Rosethorn. 10/07/2006 7. NOI closing for various reasons. During the time it was closed I joined a silly group called "Corsair" that was alternate history WW1/WW2 era themed. We mostly harassed Mercz for the short time it existed. After that, I joined AN for a month to do silly spy things. At the end, I organized several small militaries into a large raid. It was fun and somewhat lulzy. The formation of TItan Industries. Leading the way in modernsolutions it all started with a not-at-all -correct MTAR promotional rifle, Sig 552, top of the line Beretta M92, And big blocky prim bolters. ---Ordo Era--- 0. Black November. I was so Ffffing happy to be back in an Ordo uniform. 1. We started with a mostly completed sim and using a rescripted VAR for out standard issue rifle. Astra got an MP5K (that did initially have an aim assist feature. Whoops), and then Terra eventually got the totally over-powered M4A1 AXE-LM. The FA-6 was replaced with an overheat-based Minigun and our service pistol was a USP40. The USP and M4A1 shared an ammo counter HUD. 2. Every idiot trying to start a military and fight us. The Ordo rose to power and eventually rivaled the two longstanding "superpowers" of AN and Mercz. 3. Praeda. The top of plane technology for years. 4. More simbulds than you can shake a stick at. Good god we could not stick with one layout for very long. I can't even name all of them. Port Malleus, Imperial City 1, "College Campus", Church Ruins, Snow Fortress, Volcano Trench Sim, Corner Fortress. Corner Fortress, Snow Edition, Attempted Niiya Future City, Keno Imperial City, Keno Imperial City Ruins, Niiya/Nikki Modern City... and now Disembodied City! As we moved on we kept builds longer and longer. 5. The days of Multi-sim combat . If you had two sims you were a badass. Who cares if transitions were laggy. It was so cool! OMG BEST THING EVER. 6. Fleet Ships! 7 node non-physical movement. The Eternity was a flying refrigerator with a shitload of weapons. 7. Emma "Nuke 'em All" Roy. Leet Seattle rides again. 8. Artemis sim defense satellite. See Above. 9. Home point setting groups revolutionized combat as the SLMC knew it. Lag dropped significantly because people weren't constantly entering. 10. New Jessie. 11. Tsume starts scripting. 12. The first set or Armor for the Ordo. It was a giant bread box that took three people to man and was jittery as Ffff. Good luck hitting anything as the gunner relied on the driver's rotation to steer. 13. The end of multi-sim combat. This shit is laggy and not worth the effort. :/ 14. Mercury begins. 15. Sculpties come and REVOLUTIONIZE EVERYTHING OMG. 16. Tsume grows tired of this list format. Anyways, I have seen militaries rise and fall, sims open and close, and powerhouses become laughing stocks. Mercz, AN, Vanguard, MDF, Kratus, 2142, 10th Mountain, Ascendant Initiative, Black Mamba, Blood Fist, Remnants of the Broken Cross, Chtonic Syndicate, Desert Storm Armada, Dog Soldiers, Dutch Marine Corps, Echelon Union, Guerilla Rebels, Imperial Japanese Army, IS Tigerclaw, Renagade, Silverhawks, SLAD, SPecial Forces, Sturm Korps, Tercio Madrid, Valor, Vanguard Vox Aeon, Some british Military I cant remember, 39th, Black Talon, Chaos, New Rome, Novus Millitia, Nythos, Synteka, Tetra Combine, Phoenix Embers, Regius Inquisition, Sparta, CSL, Militant Collective, Erebus, ASI, ISA, X-Corps, BSM, Remnant, CATI, CDF, the other big Brazilian military I can't remember but they had a flag at the top of a spire and it was stupid, Meggido, the 8 militaries Leia Mercy tried to run, and all the other more current groups I don't feel like mentioning. I have seen the Praetorian guard change people and change modes of operation. I have seen guards disgrace themselves and others go down as some of the best damn things to happen to Ordo. Warrant officer ranks. Navis. Navis being merged with Astra. Demo Armor, Niiya Armor, Disembodied Armor. The era of "LOL I R SPYING ON YOU", Frumentarri, The Vae Victus, Drop pods, Parachutes, Colonel Gunau "The Sodomizer" Sodwind, Cohorts, Cheeso "I Can Put A Nuke In That" Slad-however the Ffff you spelled his name, Self-replicating Keno prims. Those we'd like to possibly forget: Vallen Murdock (keep him away from your horses), Dagger Exonar (Keep him away from, pretty much everything), Sera Otoro (keep him away from your everything, but especially your feet), Corsi Mousehold (Keep it away from everything, especially your everything). I could name a few more, but they weren't as bad. Those we wish had never left: Xang Xiao, Tiridates, and the newer people of course. Think Heather was scary? I have two words for you: Kitsy Bunnyhug. Don't let the last name fool you, she was scary. Think Christoph was the original Snow Cat? Agares was even bigger and actually scary. Think Ethan won't stop with bad jokes now? Between his laugh, Nanou Jokes, and shouting "BIG SNOWCAT TAIL" it was hard to get him to shut up sometimes. We lost people to military deployments, to having kids, to losing power, to hurricanes, to "I'm tired of this game". We started training, more training, even more training, and then trained some more. In that time our training rifle went from the VAR to and M16, to a Mac-10 to some other crazy shit, to the FW-900K Mk.1 to the FW-900K Mk.2. (Mk.2 is best pony). Hell I even remember when I remembered where I was going with this post. Ffff. In a nutshell. Ordo is, always has been, and always will be, what YOU make of it. If you want something, work for it. If it doesn't exist, plan it and try to get it made. If you want to rank up, take your exams and be a prevalent face. Be proactive, be insightful, be productive. Ordo is not made up of its leader and a bunch of sheep who stand around to earn brownie points. If you think we are "doomed" then you should go to your local greenhouse and learn about plants. Our roots are deep; it is going to take more than a little storm to kill us off.

Negev an Galil MAR are to reasons for me to actually play the game. 8D

Training bullet color was changed to pink because the brown was a bitch to see against the build should it ever be used someplace other than the range.
