Seventh Column Council
Taken from the recent "History of the Seventh Column" article.
[quote]Q: People think of Bungie as just Halo, but 7th Column is the most old-school aspect of the community, where do you see it going in the future?
A(Yeroen): In the future I would love to see the 7th Column become much more organized. With organization comes the ability to pull off bigger and better things--bigger FanFests, bigger fan films, whatever. We've considered imposing high level organization on the 7th Column in the past, but always held off. [b]As much as we'd love to be at the forefront of this project, we believe it will only be successful if it is organized from within, by its own members[/b].[/quote]
Ok, well I suppose we should get to work. Sounds like bungie really wants us to setup some sort of governing body for the seventh column. Might be best to get this started now before halo 2 hits and were all too busy fragging each other. So how do we do this? Should we model the SCC after our democratic goverment and have a president and advisors? I don't really know. What are your ideas? (i know we've had this conversation in the past -- but lets recap).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] just another fan well, bungie employees are indeed going to pick the 7th council members. Anyway, here are what i think the prerequests for becoming a council member: -at least three months of being a member. -Always follows the rules. -Should be a chapter founder or staff member, but not entirely nessecary. -Should be willing to spend alot of time in the council. -Must have patience. -Must not be afraid to get flamed. And you people name a few more. One last thing about the council organizing events. Does this include European, Asian and Australian and more events? Sure, with halo 2 we can all kill eachother on XBL, but what about those without? The council doesn't have to organise the events themselves, but i do think they should help the people who are going to. [/quote] The 3 months thing is depabteable. I don't know, Bungie should decide although there should be some sort of requirement because as I said, you don't want someone brand new in it. Following the rules goes without saying. Just about everyone is either a chapter founder or s staff member somewhere. Atleast everyone who is active. Alot of time is definitley needed, but how much is alot? People get busy from time to time. Patience is a virtue ;). Be afraid to be flamed? First of if they are getting flamed they could either lock the topic (if they are a forum mod) or let a Bungie employee know and the flamer would be warned of some sort. Secondly, afraid? Remember what wise Yoda said to young anikan. "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to...suffering. I sense much fear in you. Begun, the clone wars have." Or something to that extent. Well what I am trying to say is I don't think fear is a good word to describe it. I mean, who really is afraid of being flamed. I think you meant who wont be bothered by it, but I never had any nightmares about getting flamed. Although I once had this nightmare about the easter bunny... a story for another day. :D So basically the first quality is debatable and the last one I dont really agree with... But something to add? Well I am still unsure on the purpose. If the council will be setting up many XBL, HPC and XBC games than each member should have atleast one of the above, but most people do anyway.
