Ach! Was ist los?

I replied to my PM. Don't I go on the list, too?

Oh, and something else came up: Lt. Devon is trying to bribe members of the W'rkncacnter Club in order to get their support. Vote for him and they get promoted.

It doesn't strike me as being particularly fair with regards to the selection process.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Oh! i remember one thing that i must ask. I believe i was nominated by Guardian Hunter but this is not official, so could someone please leave their opionions on this. (Please reply soon, i don't like having to keep referring back to this issue, but it must be asked)


Yeah I nominated you because you seem very organized and I think that will defintely be an important quality in a searching through hundreds of groups for the spotlight.

* Thank you very much, and i of course accept. I'll add myslef to 'the list'

* Also, i would just like to inform you that the list has been up-dated, and i urge anyone who has agreed to tell me, whether it be from the person who sent the PM or the person who accepted it.


* In regards to the Lt Devon issue, it does not sound the fairist way to go about things. Perhaps Devon would like to persuade us to allow him to do it? No offence Devon, but it's really not fair on others.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I dont think everyone who wants to help can help. But the 7-11 people that you guys pick on the council should have the power to do the things while the rest of us make suggestions

Definatly. I believe this is one of the reasons whay the rotation idea was suggested, to get some new ideas through. I certainly think there should be a suggestion section that is taken seriously by the council, whatever way we achieve this.

Hmph. He just demoted me for telling him off. Bad, bad Devon.

what? that is ridiculous. He shouldn't have done that. Unfortunatly, we have no authority to tell him to change it back, as it's his chapter.

I've been around Bungie for a while, but I've stayed relatively quiet on most of these forums - too many little guys griefing and complaining (reminds me of MASTER XBOX from back in 'the day'). From the looks of it, The Septagon is where all the mature, cool peopls hang out, I've finally found it and it was right under my nose! Anyway, I like the idea of the 7th Column Council and I've always wanted to have the Chapter Spotlight back in action. Marty's Army has been in the spotlight for a looooooong time now. Regardless of whether I make the final cut or not, I really hope this works out and fills its potential.

Thanks for the nomination Rip Saw. It's good to see you're still on these forums!

This was probably suggested before, but here goes:

I think he Council should be divided into separate committees. For example - a suggestion committee, Chapter Spotlight committee, 7th Column News committee, etc. Perhaps each member of the council could rotate through each of the committees (I stole the rotation idea from someone on this thread, thanks - it's brilliant). Also rotate through the "off days" - in which a certain number of members are not on committees. If you don't like the idea of rotation, we could have a Committee Chair of each committee and only rotate in the early days/weeks of the Council so everyone can get a feel of what committee they would like to be a part of. After the acclimation period, the committes would be solid and could only be shuffled after a certain period of time.

Just a few thoughts, let me know what you think.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

If someone would try and bend the rules to get into the council, think of what they'd do with the power some expect the council to have. I wouldn't want someone like that in the council.

There wouldnt be any power that could hurt other members. Just to change that one page

I agree with most of these, but I am a little shocked at some of the people that were skipped...Like Just Another Fan, Psyched, or Banshee Barron...

I dont know BobBQ, Deathbringer, Eagles5 or phreakshow, but the rest are definitly qualified...

I just agreed to help. I am shure I will be passed over for a more qualified member. But I think Barron is on a 2 month ban. Im not sure about the others.

I think this is a good idea, and just want to help.

well, how long would it actually take to assemble, and would it be worth the effort?
IMO it would be worth it.

This is not my personal opinion. It is a list of people who have accepted to be members of he council. I shall up-date this list once soon, however i am un-able to do this at this moment in time.

* Can i also suggest that we put up the list decided on the IRC? It would be interesting to see who approves and who doesn't. All lists at this moment in time are ideas, so there isn't really a reason not to list the members here. It would also mean that major decisions aren't just kept to the people who attend these 'meetings'.
