SPARTAN II

Sr Member
Hey all,

Long-time member, not-so-recent visitor. Just came back to the 405th not too long ago to find a lot of changes, caught myself up on who's now running this always-wonderful community and what's been tweaked.

I gotta say, I'm liking what I see so far. Been a member of Art's RPF (Replica Prop Forums) for years, and he's got that place running pretty smoothly. Looking forward to seeing the same here.

Anyway, one of the more noteable changes I saw was the creation of regional regiments. I think that's a great idea, as all I've seen are US-based I was wondering if there were any plans to put a Canadian regiment in place?

I fully realize the majority of the membership here resides in the US, and so the number of Canadian members would be significantly less, but I thought I'd put the idea out there for consideration :cool

EDIT: To further clarify, I figure it could be broken down into about half a dozen regions: Northwest (Yukon), Northern (Northwest Territories, Nunavut), Pacific (British Columbia) Midwest (Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba), Eastern (Ontario, Quebec) and Atlantic (Newfoundland/Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick). Or something similar to that, like how the US regiments are divided up.
 
As with the US regiments, all we need to get things started in Canada is someone to champion them and start amassing people!

Well then, I guess the question that needs to be asked is, how would a person "champion" one? lol

In relation to organizing regiments, I was browsing the "Unofficial US Regiments" thread and read what Zaff recently explained (quoted below):

From what I've seen, the banner comes after the regiment has sufficient numbers and a spokesman to take the lead. The spokesman is the one you want to talk to about being in the regiment, and the spokesman in turn goes to the 405th staff with a member list to show that they have enough to be recognized as a regiment.

Going off that, what member numbers would be "sufficient" for recognition as a regiment? Based on the Member Map, there's a total of only twenty 405th-ers (about 1/3 active, 2/3 inactive) up here, which I've listed below in their respective locations with their last login info:

Given the numbers, would any region qualify for being a regiment due to the low number of members in each province? :confused

New to all this but I'm from Toronto ish area in Ontario. I have a buddy and I looking to build a suit. Anyone in the area that would be able to help us out?!

@SPARTAN II, Right now, with those numbers, I would say that Canada should be a single Regiment and as individual Provinces grow they can break off within the parent regiment.

Are you willing to head this up?

I'm in Ottawa, so wouldn't be close enough to be of any help. Based on the Member Map, it doesn't look like there's anyone in your immediate area.

EDIT: According to the complete member list, there's about fourteen 405th-ers in the Toronto area. You may want to see who's around there and PM them for help.

After I'd made that post, looking at the numbers I was actually thinking the same thing, lol.

I've never organized anything like this before so I'm not sure what's involved, but I could be interested in leading the Canadian regiment :)

Thanks, guys. I was going off the Member Map which only shows markers for the twenty Canadian 405th-ers I mentioned.

Obviously, there's still a few kinks to work out there as the map clearly doesn't show everyone located in Canada.

Clothar here. I didn't see my name on the list. I bounce back and forth between Saskatchewan and Alberta these days. Currently working on ODST kit, and would still love to do a spartan one day.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info. Clearly, that Member Map has to be fixed, lol. I put you in under Saskatchewan. That alright?

Right now, because everything is still "unofficial" there is very little to do aside from being a point of contact and doing the minimal updates in regard to adding members, maintaining an FB presense and rallying the troops.

So... if you are willing, "you're it until you're dead or I find someone better." ;)

Okay, sounds simple enough to me. I'm game :D

When you say "maintaining a FB presence", does that mean I should set up a 405th Canadian Regiment FB page?

EDIT: I forgot that 405th-er "Last Spartan" had started a "Canadian Reg. Roll Call" thread. Did a search for and found it, so am compiling a more complete list of Canadian members for when the Canadian Regiment section gets put up.

Nearing 100 already with just that, and there's yet more to be added from Last Spartan's old "Canadian Reg. Roll Call" thread.

Of course, I don't know how many now listed are active or not, but at least it gives a better idea of how many Canadian 405th-ers there are.

EDIT: Just finished updating the full member list. Nearly doubled what I'd first added to it, lol.

That is a LOT of members! Going to take some time. @Walter "Spase" can you start adding these guys in?

There seem to be a large number of people listed there that have not been around for some time. This looks like a list of members in the area rather than a list of members that have requested to join.

All 177 people on that listed requested to be added to the Canadian Regiment?

There is even a Banned member on that list. I don't think this is a list of people we are adding, it looks like a list of all known Canadians.

Well, as I'd mentioned in my last post, I don't know how many now listed are active or not, but at least it gives a better idea of how many Canadian 405th-ers there are.

The list I compiled above is more for a general overview of how many Canadian members there are in total. I realize many haven't been online for a year or longer.

I think it would be best to go with the list I put up in Post #3, which sits at roughly twenty members. The longer list is more for my benefit of knowing how the members are spread out.

EDIT: Better yet, use the revised list below which shows only active members based on the Member Map or those who have posted here (I included anyone who'd been active in the last six months):

Added you to the current list. Thanks ;)

I'm working on putting up some threads in the newly-opened "Canadian Regiment" forum.
