I give up! All you people ever want to do is sit and wait, noone wants to take any action. I got news for you, waiting doesn't make things happen. Im sure just sitting on our asses after discussing it, like what happened the all the other times the council was proposed was proposed, is really gonna encourage Bungie to regognize the Council and make it official. If you guys are not willing to get up off you butss and do something for the community yourself, w/o bungie, then I see noone deservant of being on this Council and i give up on it. Let it rot like you all seem to want it to.


Hey, I want to get things done. Who was the one that PMed Achronos for the answer? That sent PMs to every single member telling them to come back, however unsuccesfull it may have been? Who actually began posting again after everyone had left TCC? You can't honestly sit there and say I have done nothing. It's rather insulting, considering how I feel I have done a fair amount of work in the past few weeks regarding the Council.

EDIT: I'll try and set up some interviews. Details should arrive in the Council tomorrow.

Just don't do Achronos. CF is doing that.

Actually, to pour rubbing alcohol in your open wound, I'm also co-organizing a (hopefully) massive Halo 2 tournament here, and trying to help out CFounders and Team ACS. Among other things of course : )

I want to see the council in action just as much as everyone else, possibly more. Thing is, I would like to see it done correctly. Without some type of bungie support, I don't see it becoming organized- we've had this long to do something, and quite frankly haven't done a damn thing. We've made several attempts, but they have lacked the official nature that Bungie support would give them. I fear that the council would exist, only it would be void- a blank check, if you will. I don't want this to happen by any means.

And calm down. I'm on your side, Ancient.

After extensive promoting and PMing by dedicated members who wish to see the Council become reality we have finally received a word from Bungie.

Achronos: At the moment, there is nothing to say. We have waaaay to much stuff on our plate right now. There are just not enough hours in the day.

While this isn't the news we were hoping for, it is news indeed. It does not say that they are against the Council at all, only that they do not have time to address it at the moment. Taking this into account the dedicated members of The Council Chambers have come up with the idea to make an Unofficial Council for the time being. A Council unsanctioned by Bungie, but still does the jobs its has the capabilities to do. For Example:

Writing Chapter Reviews
Interviews
Community News Articles
Monthly Chapter and Member Spotlights

Also, Team ACS will soon be back in full action as a branch of the 7th Column Council. The Council will also be closely related to Chapter Founders.

What we need from all of you are ideas, things the Council can do within our power. We also need to know who is still active, and is willing to stay active on the Council and decide who will be on the council, as all of the members from the first list are not active.

Discuss here your ideas and comments of this proposed Unofficial Council, and give your input on who you think should be In said Council.


Sounds to me you want a neat avatar , and a "cool" name so you can feel good about yourself...

kids these days , no morals.. out for themselves..

Heh. You've been around for barely two weeks. This idea didn't just start- it's been around since 2003. There is a sticky in the Septagon (About 37 pages long, at that) about the Council, as well as the group we have made. We're not even sure if they would get a custom avatar or title yet. The idea was to get someone official getting info together for the 7th Column, so that way more people would become interested in the Column and want to become a part of it. So next time you might want to do some research before you throw around those insults. I don't care how old you are- that was just really, really rude the way you phrased that.

I have heaps of ideas, but knowing me, someone has already thought of them before I did and I never noticed.

Well post them anyway. I, for one, won't make fun of you if you get some wrong.

I'm thinkin the Council could also see problems that are within the forums and then discuss it with the other Counicl members until they reach an agreement on a solution. Once a solution is decided upon the Council will PM Sketch with there idea. Much like what we do here in the Septagon, but by being a Council member would kind of give your idea more recognition.

The Council could forward neat ideas that groups use, but they are supposed to be totally Column based. They help with everything in the Column, do news, that sort of thing. However, they won't have any authority at all in the main forums.

That's the mods' job. I'm in agreement with Mr. Pimp
