Congratualtions on your acceptence! You have just completed your first obstacle in a line of many. But before you proceed to the next one, let me give you so back story to our movement:


Here we depend not on the group itself, but on the people. All it takes is one grain of rice to tip the scale, and this group itself is an exact example of that.


Our goal is to eradicate the seperatist/supremacist groups and counter the human threat with our own.


We do not have a designated group to this movement, but instead use the groups that we capture as bases of our own.

Your job is to help capture other human groups by any means necessary. We will then claim the group as part of our own, thus allowing all the balme to rest on us instead of our people. Those who are loyal will progress in ranks and keep their ranks throughout all the groups we possess. Extreme loyalists and veterans will be granted groups of their own to control and mantain.


Strategies and FAQ's will be posted in the Articles section as time goes on.


If you have any questions, or need help, please contact me privatley.



PS if i posted this in the wrong fourm please PM me and post your ideas in here

the only way it could be taken is if someone gave them full control. That's a personal issue, not a bungie issue. You should never give anyone you can't find and go over to their house full permissions with a chapter.

Sir Brilliant got it. Few people could do anything about this and no one will do something about this. I suggest you simply learn from this. Never give out the power to change ranks to anyone, let alone full control.

The point is, unless you can kindly persuade the "capturer" to give you back full admin control, you're not getting that chapter back. If they really want to be so immature as to take over chapters, let them. It's just so sad, pathetic and moronic that it's not worth thinking about.

Then he/she's your problem.

Oh, and incase you think that someone may have hacked you, think again. Its near impossible here.

  • 07.13.2006 10:10 AM PDT

then either you or your co-founder had an easy password to figure out, they went in, used it, and upgraded themselves. Its happened to some of the largest chapters on bnet, so don't feel bad, but it just proves how important it is to keep your information and passwords secret. My password is easily over 10 characters.

And knowing that your password has been hijacked (or your cofound, you could go and look actually in that group if you ever get back in) you both should change all your passwords for everything. Most of the time people use only one password, which is fine unless someone gets ahold of it. In which case you are completely screwed if they are fast. You should go through everything you do online and change every password you have.

They can't hack Bungie, but they can hack your passport account. Here's what you can do about it. I don't want to show you the article but here's a part of it.

If you are a user of Microsoft Passport, it is recommended that you browse with great care. Do not ever check the box when logging into Passport that reads Sign me in automatically on this computer. This creates the MSPSec cookie documented above that is used to automatically log you in without having to reenter your password at participating sites. When this cookie is compromised, it represents the greatest danger to your account.

It is also recommended that you only log into Passport before browsing sites that require Passport and log out immediately after your visit. Logging out essentially destroys the majority of your cookies, so that they cannot be compromised by further browsing.

Most importantly, I recommend that you do not use a browser with the vulnerability I have described. If you are using a vulnerable browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer (all versions prior to 5.5), and wish to continue using it, there is a patch available to repair this bug located at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-033.a sp.

If you have it one "Remember my email" than thats why. If not I'm with you there. (In a sence) Because almost the same exact thing happened to me one ebay.

No, the moderators cannot. If you really want to bother, you will indeed have to talk to this guy yourself.

  • 07.13.2006 1:46 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Bungie does not intervene in chapter disputes. I know this sounds callous, but you should have been more careful with your power distribution.

Archnos can help but since all the members have been kicked there is no point.

And honestly why should he have to get involved everytime this happens? This isn't new, and he's got important stuff to do like designing the web version of the giant slingshot to shoot people like you into the sun.

... or something.

It sucks, but you learned a valuable lesson. The internet is a mean place and trust nobody. If you used the same password elsewhere, you should be spending your time changing them all rather than watching this thread.

For the last time i didn't give him the Power to do it i only gave it to the Cofounder

Then the "cofounder" gave him power. No matter what you think the cofounder was in it. Thats why you never give someone else as much power as the original founder.

Simple, don't give anyone else full control. Problem solved.

I know that, but a lot of people want to have other people co-lead the group or get guilt tripped into it.
