To be honest, it has been a while since I've seen any really good chapter action. My favorite back when I joined Bungie.net in late '04 was OH2S (Official Halo 2 Supporters). Great group, fun people, good size...a nice place to get my bnet passion started. However, one thing lead to another, and sadly the group declined. Since then, I've found it hard to identify a chapter, besides any of my own, that I genuinely enjoyed.

No doubt, there are quite a few contests like this, namely in the Chapter Founders. But the CF is relatively inactive and not everyone is a member, I thought it was about time to bring CotW to the main Bungie forums. What does this mean? Well, I ask you to identify a chapter which you greatly enjoy and are affiliated with, whether through ownership or membership.

What does enjoy mean? To me, that means activity and community. What does the group have to offer? Does it have a good cause? Do they have contests? Do they have a clan? Do their members contribute? Do they have a good administrative staff? Please identify your chapter of choice in the following format (below), and answer as many questions as possible to the best of your ability:

* What is the group's mission? How does it approach that mission?
* Are the members moving in the direction the leader wants, or are they guideless?
* What makes this group enjoyable? What are it's best qualities?
* How could the group improve?

As you can tell, this would require you to know the group quite well, which is why I don't discourage self-entries. After someone submits their group, feel free to check it out and leave feedback here. I intend upon joining as many groups as possible.

Winners: All winners of the Chapter of the Week will be posted below, in the reserved space and their group leaders will be notified as well.

Finaly, good luck to contesting chapters and I wish ever better luck to a few lonely Bneters searching for a home. =D

What is the group's mission? How does it approach that mission?

We take a fun approach to our mission. We have rules but there are flexible. There are some of the more serious rules that have no flexibility, Constant flaming and the such. There has been 1 blacklist so far for inappropriate behavior towards members.

Are the members moving in the direction the leader wants, or are they guideless?

They move whichever way they feel like. They are guided by themselves. They conduct themselves accordingly but in the end we all reach our goal of having fun.

What makes this group enjoyable? What are it's best qualities?

The fact that you can do anything that is inside the Bungie.net Code of conduct and terms of use. Our best quality would be how active we are and how much fun you can have. I ahve a rule there. If you make fun of someone, then they can make fun of you and go back and forth until a point where a moderator sees flaming. Then you get shut down. so, don't flame and your fine.

How could the group improve?

More members I guess. Other then that we have all osrts of information. We have a guy who is, unofficially, our game information guy. He can find information on any game, launched or not.




P.S. Good idea to bring this to the public forum. Congrats to whoever wins, whoever that may be.

I happen to be a member of Thee Warriors myself, and I know Kody. He's a good guy, and that group comes highly recommended. I encourage you guys to check it out.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

May I suggest including a link to the group? It isn't very hard to go to your list of groups and find the one you are talking about, but it would still be nice to be able to just click a direct link.

Group Mission/Purpose:To have intelligent discussions.

* What is the group's mission? How does it approach that mission?
The groups mission is to have intelligent discussion about any number of topics, from theoretical science to morality. Here is a sampling of some topics.
* Are the members moving in the direction the leader wants, or are they guideless?
Although activity is low at this point, it is moving in the right direction. There are the obvious rules about flaming and spamming, but the actual content can be of anything a member can think of, so long as there isn't another thread already about it.
* What makes this group enjoyable? What are it's best qualities?
The best part about the Corner is that there is no real limit to what you can talk about. If you have something you want to discuss, bring it up.
* How could the group improve?
The main problem right now is lack of activity. The discussions are slow paced, but still manage to be engaging. With more members, there could be more talk.

EDIT: I should mention that although the group is set up with a que line, we aren't elitist or anything. He just wants to keep track of all the members who join. (I'm assuming. I really never asked.) Just know that you won't be turned away at the door if he doesn't like your shirt. ;)

Oops, I think I accidentally started a trend. :( My bad.

Wait, why is this happening right after CF has just started it again? Having two COTW contests seems a little stupid to me.

I agree. This thread just seems like an attempt to have chapters advertise in The Septagon instead of The Classifieds. Keep it in Chapter Founders and let that crew decide the Chapter of the Week, since there is always a great write-up about it that is (usually) unbiased.
