I've always wondered this since I first saw this in Halo 2. How was the symbol created? What does it represent? I know it means the Seventh Column, but how was that started as well? Please don't flame for I am a fairly new member, thanks.

I think I saw another thread like this, and I think a mod said something about looking for it in Wikipedia or Google...

If you know you should post in the classifieds, why didn't you? I would highly suggest you don't do that.

Because:
1) I can't make another topic within three hours or it's considered spam.
2) Not a lot of people look at the Classifideds as far as I can tell.

Mods, if you think it's necessary (which it probably is) go ahead and move this or delete it. I'm just a little frustrated that NO ONE will join my group.
And I'm tired, I had a busy day.

So you post it here, not very wise. Perhaps you should read this. I found it in the Setagon Stickies thread. There's plenty other ways on advertising your chapter. You should read it, I have, and I plan on utilizing it's suggestions when I finally have the ability to create a chapter. Perhaps I'll join your group, if you do it right.

Look at your number of members and open the Champagne. But before you do that, change this thread.

Yes, yes.

I'm still working on getting the news set up and other stuff.
But I do have many roles...

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.

I would agree... if I knew what that meant. >.>

Someone said something about reading up on the 5th column as a starting place. He posted a wikipedia link, if I remember right.

ah... here we go.

Edit: I read the article. Slightly informational, but there was another quote not mentioned in the article that seems much more enlightening to me.

The term was coined by General Mola in a radio address during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). As a Nationalist general, he sent four of his army columns to capture Madrid, which was being defended at the time by the Republican forces. The general referred to his hidden supporters inside the capital as his fifth column. [Emphasis added]

Hmm...

that doesn't expalin why its 7, and not 5, perhaps they thought of the septagon first, and used its 7 sides to shape 7th column, make it sound cooler by changing the name a bit :P

and yes this topic sounds weird when you read from the first post down, i was wondering what the hell was going on for a while :S
