I think we have a basic set of goals right now. I think the b.net staff, upon return from E3, fanfest, and all that other good stuff should pick the 7 members they think best. From there on the 7 members will put together an actual description of some sort of what they are set out to do, of course with the help of every one(Council and noncouncil members), to perfect it. From there on out they should carry out these duties until they are either completed or new goals are made.

I'll be sure to tell Sketch the opposite of whatever Stosh sez so we can take pictures of Sketch's brain melting. :)

And then we can spin him around until he gets dizzy. And watch him bang into walls and stuff.

The War will wage forever; though with it's fury comes a peace that you will never know here.

You guys are mean. But, I WOULD like to see Sketch's brain melt. It'd be a cool experience.

You know, this thread is taking a very strange turn. From the scc to watching sketch's brain melt...... weird.

I wonder what sketch has to say about the council, and the fact we want to see his brain melt.

Maybe the council should just be sketch's extra set of hands or something?

Brain melting? I'll scoop some up! How much do you think it will go for on Ebay?

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!

So just helping around the column? I think they should do events too.

Sketch's brain will go for atleast half a million on ebay :D

Sketch is going to be surpirsed when he comes back.

Yes we should host events, but Council Members should have access to a Bungie server. Not everyone has a T1 line in their house...

Yea that and perhaps a few should have Halo PC and xbox live. Not all of them have to, but it would be nice if a few had both, to help out with events.

A few of them should. Not necessarily all of the members. And maybe XBC/Gamespy too. I have Halo for the mac and XBL so if the SCC made any of those events, I would be happy to join. If it is chapter vs chapter events, Ill have to bribe my members to get up off their lazy asses and attend, or else :D

Is it just me, or is KIA trying to set him self up for a power position? (Got Politics?)

Wow, I saw this when it had 100+ votes. I read most of the first page so bear with me if some of this has been repeated. I'm sure it has, but you can never be certain.

Elections would mess things up, you should appoint members with lots of qualifications. i.e. Been here for a long time, knows everything about bungie, very helpful and contributive, someone everybody likes, smart, etc. You need to pick the best of the best for a 7th Column Council.

PS: Off topic, but I picked that name for my staff discussions thing. When we talked about nominations for our award polls n crap. I think it's a good name. What would you prefer? Stosh's Concentration Camp?

A. What does that relate too Marine7225?

B. Hahah it could be BMC, but then we'd have to give his little marine a Hitler mustache..

  • 05.14.2004 6:58 PM PDT

What the hell Marine7225? How is that at all relevant to the Council? And, by the way, you are wrong. Just because you had never heard of Bungie before Halo, that doesn't mean that they were not 'really famous'.

I dunno about KIA, though. Politiking on a forum isn't really cool, but I don't think that's what he's doing. If he's on it, he'd deserve it in my opinion (well, anybody chosen by a Bungie employee would have to deserve it. They know what's going on here.)

I have absolutely no idea what marine7225 is talking about. Anyhoo, if KIA is going for "politics", than i would say: go ahead. *puts on some lipstick for serious buttkissing*

And oh, if there is going to be a head of the council, it should be sketch and no one else.

First off, is skecth even going to be in the council? I mean its his job, and hes pretty much creating it, so whether or not hes in or not obviously hes like the head of every thing. Secondly, I don't think there will be a head of the council, but if there is for what ever reason(such as reporting to sketch the stuff thats going on) it should be stosh hands down.

Yup, i do believe that there shouldn't be a council head.
One other thing, it would be nice to see some non american council members, for two reasons:
1) This way, things like events in other places of the world can be helped alot better. Sure we got XBL and XBC, but what about the LAN stuff?
2) With people from different time zones, there's always some council member awake and on the forum, you know, just in case.

After reading every post on here I have some thoughts on this whole SCC thing. It's a good idea if it is implemented correctly, but if we put people on the council who screw up, can we blame them? It would be a lot of pressure to do it right, failiing would mean upsetting thousands and by the time Halo 2 comes out possibly millions of people on bungie.net. Yes that could be what Halo 2 means for this site, million people or more. Now putting up a council of 7 people sounds cool going with the whole 7th Column idea, but I don't think that's enough to hold this place in organization. I'd say maybe one council member per 100,000 members on bungie.net and 7th Column.

100,000 members? How many members are there now?

Of course it'll put pressure on them and they may screw up but remember, we are all human, or most of us, so there may be a screw up or two. Maybe.
