How does one become a Monitor?

I’ve seen some people on Halo Waypoint known as, Monitors. The thing is though they just seem like normal Halo players. So how do they get the rank of being a Monitor? This forum thread is simple, but at the same time, it’s not.

The simple answer is when they need more they pick out most active trustworthy community members to fill the role, or at least that’s how I’ve come to understand it. I’m sure the monitors can give you a more detailed explanation.

I wouldn’t know.

There is a secret ritual where you have to find the 14 keys by deciphering puzzles from the <mark>Redacted</mark> behind the loose stone on the street in front of <mark>Redacted</mark>. The keys are located in the under passages of different cities, except the last one that is located in the blue area of the <mark>Redacted.</mark> Getting there was virtually impossible! Once you have the keys you can unlock the hidden room in <mark>redacted</mark> where they keep the <mark>redacted</mark>. And using that you teleport to the <mark>redacted.</mark> Where they have a real live grunt/unggoy. His name is Yipflip. Apparently it was created by <mark>redacted</mark> in order to <mark>redacted.</mark> Then you just have to figure out what his favorite type of donut is and split it with him. Which is hard because that donut variety is pretty rare and dragging it up the mountain at <mark>redacted</mark> is really hard. I fell down like three times.

It’s kind of a “they’ll ask you” sort of thing. I assume I was asked because someone thought I was making the forums a bit better through my actions. Which is kind of cool. But yeah, just a regular guy with a love of Halo.

That’s exactly what we are, just some regular players with a huge passion for the franchise. Monitor positions are granted by 343 to those who have been helpful within the community. There’s no way to apply, but if they are looking for new Monitors then they will reach out and ask.

I did hear once that cat gif bribes may fast track the process, but you didn’t hear that from me… <.<

This has been asked a couple of times over the years. And the best answer would be that ‘they pick you’. I think this image goes quite nicely :slight_smile:

So they literally ask you? That’s kinda boring.
I wanted what comedyshermit said.

From what I know, you are selected if you meet a very particular criteria. You have to be active and also contribute to the community in a positive manner. By the time they ask you, I assume it’s probably a matter of you accepting / declining the offer.

> There is a secret ritual where you have to find the 14 keys by deciphering puzzles from the Beta Build of Halo 5’s Campaign behind the loose stone on the street in front of 343 HQ in Redmond, WA. The keys are located in the under passages of different cities, except the last one that is located in the blue area of the spawns in Coliseum. Getting there was virtually impossible! Once you have the keys you can unlock the hidden room in the 343 Halo Museum where they keep the glorious terminal that is Chiron TL-34 from Halo CE. And using that you teleport to the beautiful basement of Bonnie Ross. Where they have a real live grunt/unggoy. His name is Yipflip. Apparently it was created by Bonnie Ross in order to replace Joseph Staten as the grunt voice. Then you just have to figure out what his favorite type of donut is and split it with him.

There. Fixed it.

I thought it involved some kind of Hunger Games-style competition where 343 flies all of the Monitor candidates to their offices and has them all fight to death for the forum team’s amusement, but okay.

To start, you must send 12 dozen donuts to the Forum Team. Then 1 dozen donuts to each existing monitor. Then get 1 donut for yourself. After that, ONI will send you a message with your next instructions (the message will self-destruct after you read it, so I recommend going outside for that).

“Hey, wanna be a monitor?”

Oh and by the way stckrboy, sorry about the other thread that I made about not hating on 343. I didn’t know about the stuff you mentioned.

Plot twist: The reason why there aren’t 300 monitors is because the message self destructs before the reader can finish, which results in a waste of 1 donut, and a need for a new donut sender/potential monitor.

Just a question…
How many players with the monitor rank exist today?

So basically we have to kiss and fill your behind with Krispy Kreme’s (Inc.). Got it.

Look at the Monitor list that I’ve linked in my signature.
