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).

This reminded me of something I thought the Council could do. Do you remember how a couple of years ago Emildlux (good ol' Emil, I miss him) created a database called "50 States, 50 Chapters"? In it he listed the best chapter out of every state, based on a number of parameters. Some states without any notable chapters had only a blank entry. I think the Council could do this. They could maintain a similar database listing the best chapter from each state or territory or country, depending on the circumstances. Perhaps a few members could each be assigned a territory (i.e. one would get Eastern US, another--Western US, another--Hawaii, Alaska, and other countries) that they would regularly go through to judge all the chapters. [on a side note, while doing this they could make a list of all chapters that should be disbanded due to complete inactivity for a good length of time] This could help chapters to have a reason to improve themselves, and it'll give everyone good examples of what we're striving for here at the 7C. As long as this is done in a fair way (for example, by ignoring the number of members), it could do great things for the Column. What are your thoughts on this? Perhaps I should start a new thread? Just my thoughts, [b]Poocho[/b] :)
