Dowlphin 463 April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 I've seen this number used quite a lot, in user names and stuff like that. Any idea why this number appears so relatively often? If I remember correctly, it might be a Halo reference, but can that be the only influencing factor? It seems like this number is spooking around in people's heads a lot. Or is that just me? All you have to do is take a bunch of letters! Add it to the thread! Now just take a little something bold, not italic! A bit of underline, just a pinch! Writing these words is such a cinch! Add a teaspoon of punilla! Add a little more, and you count to four, and you always get your filler... Onehundred! So sweet and tasty! Hundred! Don't be too hasty! Hundred! Hundred, hundred, HUNDRED!

Ezio Auditore 702 April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 117 is a reference to Halo. The main character in Halo is Master Chief who is Spartan number 117. So people like to use it a lot in gamertags and usernames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiliscael 3,960 April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 Master Chief, the main antagonist of the Halo franchise is also know by the name of Sierra 117. Since a ton of people love the Halo franchise, they'll toss it at the end of any username to show their affiliation with the series. I tend to take the high road, get stoned, and fly low . . .

Dowlphin 463 April 28, 2013 Author Share April 28, 2013 Thanks! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSS_117 seems to be another use. A kind of fictional James Bond like character. Got any more findings? Not that two occurences like that aren't enough. I'm just curious. All you have to do is take a bunch of letters! Add it to the thread! Now just take a little something bold, not italic!

Or is that just me? 117 is the spartan number of the main character in Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. That is it's only relevance, and it's why people like to use it.

Neon Fire 473 May 1, 2013 Share May 1, 2013 It's from Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, John 117, who is from the game series, Halo. 117 is his Spartan tag and is a pretty popular thing, which is why people probably use it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
