Actually, i was the one who proplsed the idea of two clans under one name. If you look at the site recently, you notice in the sidebar there is now a panel that says something like "Linked Halo 2 Clans". Emphasis on the plural "clans"

What i said was that we should make individual clans, of which SPDR ninjas would be one. Beekeepers would not be a clan at all, it would just be a central hub for the clans. So it would be like SPDR Ninjas the clan, and Beekeepers the 7th column chapter that keeps track of all the ILB Clans.

Right now I am signed up for both SPDR Ninjas and Beekeepers. I really don't want to have to choose one or the other. Thats why i think one of them should not be a clan at all.

That was my idea, anyway. I dont think it was ever actually "decided" though...

The direction this is going is bad. I can see that now. I have worked on a lot of collaborative internet projects with people, and i say this: This is going to turn sour very soon unless somebody is willing to compromise. I've seen it happen a thousand times. (okay, maybe not a thousand... but at least 10.)

My "plan" calls for a compromise on the part of the people running the beekeepers 7th column chapter. I am asking you to not be a clan and to just be a sort of clan tracker. I think that is the fairest and most forward looking way to go about this, because it accommodates expansion past 100 people without us having to recommission clans into non-clans in mid-operation. Not only that, but i doubt 100 person clans are very good anyway. Im beting the way to go is 30-50 per clan max, because if you have 100 people in a clan then not all of them will be able to play in the same (16 player) matches

I'm not in charge of your chapter, and its not my call. Its just my advice, because a compromise is the best way to avoid hostilities. If you truly want to keep a unified community, I think you should make Beekeepers not a clan, but a clan hub that links to the actual clans themselves.

Just my two cents.

Fauxhammer: I may be mistaken, but it appears that The Beekepers is doing just that...

I saw the section for linked clans... with nothing in it.

I'm guessing that it will eventually show SPDR Ninjas, as well as whatever Incitatus and others choose as the final name for that clan...

That seems like the way to go to me.

My gametag will be Stratus or TheCaptain. Dont know which though.

After talking to Incitatus and a couple others in the chat, I think I see the problem. People want the beekeepers community to stay together. There are some people that lurked, weren't as involved here, etc who feel left out. On the other side, people want to be able to play with their friends and people they know. So here's my proposal (basically a simplification of FauxHammer and Incitatus). Everyone joins Beekeepers. It's not a clan, but rather a general meeting place where people can discuss Halo 2, the different ilovebees clan leaders (because with the amount of support for the clan ideas we have now, there's going to have to be several) can arrange matches together, etc. This isn't a merging of clans, just a place where the ILB clans can meet. Incitatus doesn't want to be running anything, and he doesn't want to step on any toes. After Tuesday, we can start to organize into different groups. We can't do anything about clans until then anway.

As a disclaimer, I don't speak in official capacity at all. I'm not in charge of anything, I'm just trying to be a diplomat.

I don't have one yet, but am anticipating getting one soon. I'll probably operate under the name Kazuma, or something similar. See you there!

I don't have Xbox Live yet, but hope to in December. (I'll probably be in clan HBO though... I was going to their site long before this one. Unless HBO gets really crowded.)

As far as bee logos go, don't worry; poking into the bungie.net site and looking at the stats pages (go see them; they're glorious even when half the functionality isn't there yet) I found this emblem in use:



So it looks like we're covered. (Don't mind the colours if you don't like 'em... the colours can be adjusted when you set up your identity.)

-- Steve's thinking he might move up that XBL purchase a bit... it looks like it's going to be a BLAST!

I'm "thunderclap 8". I'll be joining the SPDR ninjas once bungie.net comes back online.
