Subject: The 7th Column Council

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

You don't. You are chosen, and I think it is a pretty safe bet that you will probably never be chosen. One reason is because you asked, and not only that, but that question is wildly off-topic in this thread.

I disagree, the spotlight should only be on 7th Column Groups, because clans are really not the same as Groups, especially since they are limited to 100 members.

Yeh. I think actually i'd have to agree.

I also think there should be different catagories of spotlights. i.e:
* Most members
* Most active
* Best new comer
* Most original
* Best impliamented

There may be others, but i can't think of anymore at the moment. The problem with just one spotlight is that the other fantastic chapters have to wait until the next spotlight change.

*Sgt

Yeah, well if they even get trusted with *shiftily looks around* secret Halo 3 info ^_^

^Which I HIGHLY doubt anyways, because the 7th column has do with the bungie community - not secret Halo information

The purpose of the 7th column council is to help revive/bring activity to the 7th column. Nothing to do with Halo 3 info. Bungie would release that info on their front page when they want to.

What Halo53 said. That information belongs in a place like Zanzibar or New Mombassa.

I think the 7th Column Council should do whatever they want to. As long as they keep posting.

I guess making a Council and telling them to 'do whatever they want to' it won't work....

I could see the Council just talking with each other and seeing what is on everybody heads Like whats everybody talking about and wondering about. The Council could also moderate the chats and mingle with the others that are online.

I think if we brought back the Seventh Column Council it would definitely bring unity to the column. Maybe they could have a listing of the top 50 Chapters, or even strat compiling a directory separated by genre of chapter with the most active (or most well known) chapters at the top in descending order.
Sadly I did not see the old Council and do not know what it could be capable of doing.

Otherwise, I agree about the spotlight and maybe even a member spotlight every once and a while.

  • 04.18.2005 12:48 PM PDT

There has never been a Council.

Listing the top 50 chapters might be a bit too many. Perhaps 10 or 20.

Top 50 of all of the chapters? That would mean they'd have to check out every chapter, and forums aren't open to the public and it'd be hard to judge a chapter without checking it's forums...

True.

So, goweb, any more word on the council yet?

Yeah. 50 Groups are just too many. I was thinking top 10? Or top 5? Just a few, but they would change every week or so.

Yes, I didnt think of that. If a Council is created would I be correct in assuming that it would be run (or at least headed) by Sketch? What with him being the Community guy and all.

We could have a few of the Bungie Guys, Sketch of course, maybe Frankie, and a few of the others...

I don't think its supposed to be made up of Bungie employees, but vise versa. Maybee one or two Bungie guys and more regular people.

Yeah, the idea is that it takes strain off the employees.

I would guess so. But how much power would these members have? Enough to put groups on spotlight, or even enough to submit news? If their powers are to restrained, or limited, how much would it relive off the Bungie guys?

They would obviously have power to put chapters in the spotlight. The news issue is a tricky one. Perhaps a seperate place to submit news about the council would be needed. Any really really important news could then be submitted to go on the home page.

  • 04.25.2005 1:30 AM PDT

There used to be a dedicated Column news page. That could be brought back.

It really depends on how the community team decide to go about it.

Yep. I guess we'll know when the time comes. Any idea of when the time will come? ;)

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

If this is totally community decided, then it has the potential to go wrong in so many ways...
