Someone suggested "7th Council" before. How 'bout that?

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Holy crap! A lot of posts, and by relevent old schoolers at that! Personally, I have a feeling the new 7th Column will be the deciding factor in whether or not we get a "council" going. The abilities of the new system will either push towards this idea, or pull from it. If Xbox Live, and other multiplayer capabilities is integrated into the chapters, I think a council will flourish! Imagine being able to create a logo for your chapter, and then use that logo in your XBL Halo 2 battles! A direct connection would be made between your Halo 2 clan and you chapter, which would be a base of operations for your events. Hmm... we can only wait and see!

why did that have to do with the seventh council? that is an awesome thing with logos for clans and stuff but werent we talking about how it would work and stuff. im not sure how well a council could help it though. what could they provide? i beleive that maybe theseptagon and CF staff and moderaters are sort of a council. they help noobs, do stuff for the community and crap like that. what could another body of people do?

But we don't do it on a large enough scale! Serisouly, what if we had a HUGE halo release party in NYC for 7th Column members? It's be so great, or totally flop, but I'm sure people would attend, I'd drive 7 hours to meet some of the people on here.

I'd fly. ;)

Heh, but that would be totally cool. Cept we'd have to rent out like Yankee Stadium for that big of an event...

  • 05.19.2004 7:06 PM PDT

And I don't think bungie has that much money to blow on it...LoL...unless microsoft is like "Ah what the heck, lets give em 100k for the heck of it..." That would be so awsome!!

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!

I am like about half an hour to an hour away from the city. Depends on traffic. Wouldn't be that far away for me. The problem is the drivers license in NY is now like 18 so I wont be driving for 3 years. Now to trick my parents/brother into driving me...

:P

I COULD, in theory, ride my bike or something. For about 7 hours. :?

-EDIT-

Ah, is it a sticky or is it not a sticky?!? Make up your minds! :P

I'm like a lot of thousands of miles away from that city. We should hold an event in Amsterdam, or just somewhere between the cows.

Bungie wouldn't even have to pay anything - the Red Light District is fun enough ;-)
But it's a shame that Bungie is limited by their budget, rather than Microsoft's. It'd be great to have a Fan Fest at ECTS.

Well i mailed Sketch about a little idea i had. I waas thinking about organizing some event sorta like a dutch fanfest and i also asked about a possible european fanfest (in the netherlands ofcourse!).

This is what Sketch had to say about it:

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time. It's very possible we can do something later this year around the launch of Halo 2. If/when that time comes, I'll get back in touch for any help or support you guys can offer!

Cheers,
sketch

On the issue of Chapter Wars...About a year back( I dont know if some of you may remember) I created a chapter called 'Alliance Peacekeepers' The whole idea was to keep peace in the 7th column. I had some prominant members and we prevented several chapter wars, it had an effective alert system, and good sentry's throughout the 7th column. It was very cool but after about 4 months I disbanded it due to inactivity( we had stopped many chapter wars and there was too much peace :) I had my own defense corps as well in case of war waged on us. I was very suprised on how sucessful I was. All I needed was support for it to be sucessful. If you guys would like this kind of thing up again, I will volunteer to lead a 'peacekeeping corps' if needed.


What are Chapter wars? If it is nothing more than chapter rivalry on lan parties or onlines games then I don't see a problem. Good competion and motivation to play better is good for MP games. But what has gone on that made this so bad?

chapter wars= also, chapters flaming eachother in there own forum and in other people's forums. It can be very very annoying.
And a peace corps? i'm afraid of a possible coup.

Don't Moderators have authorty to lock them out to stop such well fits? That should help keep order on the forums.

they have powers down here, but not in the chapter forums.

Which is why so many people want to get their own chapters..which is really stupid going that far out on a limb just to get away from the mods.

I have just recently joined but I have some ideas. I agree that we should have a council, but I also think the regular members of the 7th column should help. The council should be there to arrange things and listen to ideas and make those ideas possible. They should coordinate everything. We shouldn't have elections, but someone who would volunteer their time should be some type of president. I think once we have the council going we should always have a Council thread in which people discuss thing related to advancing the Seventh Column and things that Councilers could organize. We could even have a lessar Council in charge of observing this thread and making suggestions to the Council. Well those are my ideas, but i'm sorta a nOOb so if you ignore them thats fine.

Another thing is that there are so many new people, myself included, that you get poeple posting things that were meant for the underground. If we functioned like a real community this would be less likely.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

I was gonna reply to these posts here, but I decided to make a new thread. Give me some feedback! I think this idea could change the community here at the 7thC!

Well we could have a communist-like council, where there are many heads whom decide what the community needs/wants, etc (of course after open forums or the like).

But this is really the only simplistic answer I can think of to this, outside just nominating one person to make all the decisions.

Having State Reps is going way too political. Just a group sounds much better to me.
