reach is the planet the other spartans are on. the planet (the humans main and strongest hold out) get's glassed. There's this one area they dont glass, because they wish to investigate further because of forerunner architecture and stuff. Turns out the humans are held out there. The spartans fight off the covenant while the Dr. (forgot her name, creator of the spartans) investigates. She finds a crystal that alters time/space. The spartans discover that is what the covenant want, so they steal it, and plant a nuke. The spartans jack a covenant ship and make there escape to onyx. read the book for crist sake. EDIT: I'll re-read the book and post more info from the book that should relate to the game.
no your not. if you wanted to ONLY put 3- number of numbers in name) to the fifth power, you'd have to include the ^5 inside the parenthesis, like this. (10- number of numbers in name^5) but since it isnt, it includes the WHOLE formula inside the BIG parenthesis, ie (Total posts + days you have been here * 3 + (10- number of characters in name) All of that ^^^ is ^5, as apposed to just the 10- number of numbers in name You know what, just use more then one bracket type so its less confusing, ass.
also, your day logic is flawed. Your join date is may eighth. it is now the 29. 21 days AFTER 1 year anniversery, so 365.25 + 21 =/= 721. your l337 points fail. EDIT: also, your first parenthesis segment is wrong. you would have to do 1071+721x3+3^5 together as a whole, not just 3^5. I win at math.
