Welcome to the first Weekly Chapter Highlight! Our mission: Searching the depths of Bungie.net, in a mission to uncover chapters that have contributed to the Seventh Column, and beyond. We hope that this mission will be a success in the on-coming weeks in order to un-cover the contributing factors of the Seventh Column.

About Us

Following this first Chapter Highlight, we are hoping for plenty of submissions. If you want to submit a group, just PM me with the group name and link. Me and the judges grade each group accordingly. Me and the rest of the judging panel will decide on the Chapter to receive the highlight. Each Highlight will take place on Saturday, at 3:00 PM US-EST. All PM's received before Friday-Midnight will not be judged.

Weekly Chapter Highlight HQ (Note: We are not accepting any members)

Do not ask to be a judge, I have already PM-ed the people I think are worthy. You may be next.

Speaking of judges, here is our current panel:

* FightingRaven531
* Guardian Hunter
* Papa John
* Natedogr

I am waiting for others to respond. If you received a PM asking to be a judge, I hope you consider.

If your chapter does get chosen, it's a simple process. All you are required to do is answer some questions.

And without further ado, the Skull Solvers


_________________________

The Skull Solvers

The Skull Solvers is a pretty unique chapter. It's mission, to uncover the secrets of the Halo 2 skulls. They have suceeded in many parts of their mission, discovering many tibits here and there, but have yet to find the "big prize." Although the founder is Howru, I failed to establish contact, so I interviewed another admin, TheKillaIsBack.

The Interview

What does Skull Solvers specialize in, what have you done to contribute to community?

Well we mainly specialize in trying to find out and explore the secrets of Halo 2's skulls.
I have helped the community, or at least to the community within the skull solvers. I’ve made a few videos on how to get certain skulls, with more on the way. The video that I made, "Mystery of the Gate" was the reason why our group was created in the first place. I also help out the other people who are having trouble doing certain things

How do you feel about your community, are they hard working, for the skulls, and it's secrets?

The community is pretty good. People post a lot, maybe not as much as they do in the H3 Forum, but you’ll usually find at least one or two people on. There are people that work hard to help find the secrets and we have already found one very interesting thing about the skulls

Can you give me an example of your findings?

Well we recently found out that skulls DO have an effect in multiplayer. So far we have only found two examples, where if you get the black eye skull, then go directly to lockout (in split screen-this doesn’t work on XBL) there is no snow, at all. And another example is if you get blind and then envy, then go to a map and kill someone with the sword, it counts as 2 kills. and bonus kills weren’t on. I haven’t tried the one with the sword, but I’m pretty sure it works

If I were a new member to Bungie, and I wanted to join, what advice would you give me?

Well, its not really that hard to get noticed in the group, so i would recommend posting thoughtfully and every so often. I start to notice people who are doing good for the group early, so I would keep an eye on you and see how you're doing. For helping to find things, one main thing to do is read the forums first. There is a lot of info on our forums so if you would need help trying to get something, or if you're not sure where to start off, you can click almost any thread and you’ll have a general idea of how to start it off.

What makes Skull Solvers unique? Why would I want to join it?

Well, just the fact that its possibly the only group dedicated to finding the skulls, or at least the largest one. I think that main reason why you would want to join, or anyone for that matter, is because its the skulls. Everyone knows there’s got to be some mysterious thing behind them. The anagram/acronym thingy on the back of the halo 2 soundtrack for example. Everyone is just interested in finding out their secret.

Last question, what are you planning for the future?

Well I know that eventually our group is going to be obsolete, especially with the coming of halo 3. But I hope we wont have a future. I say that because, if we find the skulls secrets then our mission has been fulfilled. So we'll pretty much be done with the group. Maybe all of us would have bonded enough that we'll start another interesting group and become successful off that as well.

Well, that's all for now. Remember, if you want your chapter to be featured, just PM me with the name and link, and we'll check it out.

Thanks for the highlight! That is a unique group theme.

I would like to inform you that by getting those skulls and killing a person in split screen nothing is changed and also the only reason the snow disapears in lockout is do to inproper loading of the map thus the skulls have no effect in multi player!

Why should people join if your evidence and facts of the skulls are biased and wrong?

NO this was not a flame I was serious why should I join if there information is unreliable. By you saying that I flamed offends me and shows that the group you are supporting is unhelpfull. I was interested in joining so I asked a simple question by you being rude gives your group a bad name. I was simply stating that that information is wrong/unreliable that post was not meant to offend but merely a question so please do not let your personal feelings bring down that group!

1) It's not my group, if all your going to say is that the info is wrong, I'd perfer you would say it once, not twice, as you did. I'd rather you not drag it out.

2) I have reason to believe the the info is right. But lets not let our opinions get tied up.

3) Now were getting off-topic. So lets end it now.

1) If it is not your group than please do not answer for them. This ia a free forum I can say it three times if I want, also I felt it was needed because that information is unreliable.

2) The info is incorrect. I tried it myself and *I confirmed the report and also the skulls only effect campaign and maybe Im wrong but you cant confirm that without proof (a video).

3) This is not off topic It started with me simply wanting to know why I should join.

When was I ever representing them. This I started with me saying:

I find that representing my thread rather than a group. I'm trying to end this before it evolves into a flame war. So let's end it now.

That translates into flaming. So many, not even in this group, have clearly confirmed this. For all we know, it's another IWHBYD effect. Where it spawns under certain conditions. Let's end it now, opinions aside.

It started with me saying that. You are the one freaked out. I was trying to stop you from producing a negative impact on the thread. I failed. I don't know what flaming means in your book, but heres my definition so we can be clear.

Flaming: vb. To produce a negative impact on a thread.

My, this Weekly Highlight has gotten off to a wonderful start. Slayer, might I recommend that if you have any questions or comments, you PM the founder of the group? I'm sure that would be much more beneficial for everyone, including yourself.

Nice interview Raven. Next up, the "Halifax Fan Club."

I joined because I want to see if there really is something up with those skulls. I mean it's kinda wierd that they have wierd effects, and some arent even usefull. Or it could be an unfinished easter egg, either way.

Well, this isn't like the old Chapter Spotlights. The Spotlights could have chapters that don't really benefit the Community in the way that these do.

I konw that they aren't the old Chapter Spotlights...but at least someone is shedding some light into the heart of the Community.
