Continued from my previous post. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stosh While I believe it is important for the "Council" to keep the Seventh Column updated and clean, I also believe the Council should take on a bigger role in the development of the Seventh Column. We could organize weekly official halo 2 xbox live events and competitions for example. The Council could even work with bungie and get ourselves dedicated halo 2 Microsoft servers. We could also oversee chapter vs. chapter xbox live battles as another example. Both chapters would register server time with us, and then we'd setup everything so that the game was managed professionally with official and fair results. Halo 2 on xbox live is going to be huge. We'll need a group of people dedicated to making the xbox live experience with halo 2 the best that it can possibly be. [/quote] Hey stosh, I sent you a friend request on XBL a loooong time ago and then removed it because you didn't accept it for like a month and my friends list was full. If you ever go on, send me one (Gamertag: Halo53) and Ill accept/make room. My list was full and I went to accept someone else. Sorry. :( Updated and clean is very good. As I was saying last post, one of my chapters is dedicated soley to the organization of 7th Column XBL tournaments. I was hoping we could organize a Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and maybe a Rainbow Six 3 or Mech Assault tournament before the release of Halo 2, but once Halo 2 is released we will have many Halo 2 XBL tournaments. I don't want to turn this into a chapter advertisement, hell I don't care if you join or not but we will need people to participate in a 7th Column XBL tournament and we only have 13 members. If a founder wants his chapter to be entered, he would have to let me know to sign up his chapter. Anyone in his chapter who wants to play in the tournament for his chapter/team should message me letting me know. Even though you may be in many chapters, you can only play for one in each tournament. There are many other details I have put in a specific rules database and have thought up myself but I/eek (eek is basically the co-founder. I had the idea and he was all for it so he joined right away and I gave him full privs) would be willing to have these 7th Column XBL Halo 2 tournaments hosted by my/our chapter, The 7th Column on Live. Again, I don't care if you join. I have to make more stuff open to the public (Although eek made our forums staff only because we have a separate forum for the chapter but, whatever) and get more databases and such put together but if you/anyone are/is interested in a tournament via XBL and wants to participate, message me. Once Halo 2 is out 99.9% of our tournaments will be Halo 2 but its good to see others have the same idea as me, just I thought of it first :P So basically my chapter is dedicated to making the XBL 7th Column experience with Halo 2 the best it could possibly be. Glad my chapter can help, possibly. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Yoozel If the Council is going to be incharge of Halo 2 events, well if I ever got picked: my going rate is a new computer and my own cable line. I'm really waiting on what Brian or Tom has to say on this subject...[/quote] Again if Halo 2 events are used I would let the SCC join and become staff at my chapter. That is if they even want to use my chapter for XBL 7th column events. They may think I suck and make their own, sending my chapter out of business because everyone joins their XBL events and not mine :( [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] just another fan How about a weekly news letter for on the 7c main page? You know, telling what new chapters there are, who the founder is. Just giving giving some extra info. And interviews with founders and B.net members. And maybe some "column"? Where one of the council members just write something up. Simply telling us what he thinks about B.net or something. Should i ever get picked (nothing wrong with hoping right?), i hope that that will be my job. But just like said before, i hope that there will be some other news on the 7th column mainpage, not just the regular "join my chapter" stuff. Event news maybe?[/quote] I agree. Maybe the weekly news letter could have a paragraph from each SCC member, unless they are unavailable so they all put in their input. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Live killa Maybe the council could head up like a Halo 2 teams tournament, and we could keep track of the bracket.[/quote] Again, I would let the SCC members have full privs at my chapter and set it up however they want. I had an idea for a bracket (Liked seeded teams, how matchups would work out, like in a 16 team tournament, the first seeded team plays the 16th etc. How the teams are seeded... I could sit here and explain what I thought up forever. Maybe kind of have a season and playoffs type thing?) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Yoozel Well if people just started kicking people off of the 7th Column in might seem a little, tyrannical? People would start kicking others off just for the fun of it, and that wouldn’t go down so well. If anything, the Council should have a chapter they have to join and with will have a link on the 7th Column main page for easy access so that people can report things.[/quote] Again, the wise Yoozel is right. Agreed. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Elitexboxer it would be cool if there where a method of finding the absolute best halo 2 players by keeping a score an all teams and the councel could set witch ever teams against eachother they wanted[/quote] I actually made a database for keeping track of stats. Well I actually made one database that will have links to all of the stat trackers because I haven't decided what I wanted to keep track of (I guess kills, death etc) but maybe a different database for each gametype? Than the SCC could come up with a forumula for determining the best players and we could sort each database by their rank. Well my uber long post is now done. What do you think? I would volunteer to help anyway, whether it be by being a member of the SCC, just letting the SCC members use my chapter for the tournaments, or not being involved in the SCC but just continue (as a veteran) to be a "good example" so to speak. haha I previewed my post. This is my 53 post and since 53 is the greatest number ever, it is fitting that the longest post I ever made and probably in septagon history is my 52nd and 53rd post. Quite fitting :D
