So I bring to you another round of voting to determine the Events YOU want. However I have taken a slightly different approach to the way in which you will cast your vote. Due to the volume of possible events, there will be no Poll, instead you will vote by posting!

Below are 4 Categories; 'Tournaments','Contests','Weekly Events' and 'Community Events'. In each category you will find several Events.

Vote for your favorite Event in each Category by posting below!


Competitive Tournament
Minecraft Screenshot Contest
Tuesday Night Tests
XFORGY




VERY IMPORTANT:


Only vote for 1 event per category for a maximum of 4 Votes.


Not Important:


You do not need to vote on a Category at all if it does not interest you.


Good to know:


Events will be implemented in the priority they are voted for.



We are always open for suggestion on future events!

A Contest for Halo 3 Screen Shots usually pertaining to a theme. Players submit their finest works and these are compiled into a thread for voting. If you haven't forgot about this classic, than this may be the Event for you!








http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1586/minecraftscreenshotcont.png

With the popularity of XForgery's Halo Screen Shot Contests, we would be silly not to include this fine Sandbox game as well. Submit pictures of your finest work and the community will decide who wins!








http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5145/filmclipcontest.png

There's more to the Theater than just pictures, Now you can win with the best Film Clip! Assassinations? Exterminations? Snipes? ALL of them??!!? We'll let you decide!

It is told, somewhere in Forgeworld lurks a very mysterious Cone made of Pure GOLD, but where could it be? In this Event a Map would be released to the public of XForgery and on this map you will find only 1 object- A Traffic Cone... Hidden very very well. First person to correctly identify the location of this Ninja Pylon will Win Stuff! Very Nice Stuff!

Of course theres a few things you should know about the Average Pylon:


They Cant Swim and will never be found in the water, Although they have been known to go 'near' the water.
They Cant Fly and will never be suspended in the Air.
They are NOT actually made of Gold. They are however very mysterious.

Community Events:


http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4567/multiteam.png

Up to 5 teams of 2 will join Multi-team Matchmaking with only one objective, to humiliate and toy with the unfortunate 6th team.

Tactics include:


Dominating in Slayer
Moshing around the Oddball
Guarding the Hill


Mic Required
This Lobby is NOT Competitive.
Between the 5 teams, players will take turns winning games so everyone is mutually benefiting.







http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1112/invasioncampaign.png


To recreate the classic playstyle of Halo's epic campaigns, we will create 5 semi-linked Invasion Maps and release them as a Map Pack.
Each one will be completely inescapeable but will be aesthetically linked to the next (eg.Rock Wall).
The idea is to start at the first Invasion map and progressively advance throughout Forge-World by a series of games.
There will be 5 maps, each one to be made in one of the designated areas by one of 5 teams, each team must be composed of at least 2 people.

Each team must complete their map within 1 month.

Teams must be assembled before reserving an area.

The Areas:

1) Cove
2) Sandbar
3) Grove
4) Terrace
5) Beachfront






http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/4687/xforgyevent.png


Thats right, its just what it sounds like! Since Interlocking is not exclusive to the connection host anymore, everyone can forge with skill- simultaneously!
Up to 8 people can get in on the action and build whatever the hell they want at the same time. This event will be hosted on a particular date, and players can join/leave at their own accord. Of course there will be a few limitations...
For Example: -we will limit the forgeable area to keep maps within playable limits (for gameplay purposes).

Rules:
-No Killing. Period. (well thats actually 3 periods! 4 including this. shit now thats 5)
-No Effects.
-Killballs and Tripmines (if any) will be placed at the end of the session for obvious reasons.
-No removing others placed objects. Players found removing objects that are not theirs, will be removed immediately and barred from similar events.
-No Harrassment of any kind.
-No Choking or Biting.
-No Chewing Gum.







http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1386/communitymap.png


A map made piece by piece by the individual members of XForgery. One member will build a structure within the playing field and will have 1 week to complete it. When it is complete it will be passed back to me and providing it stayed within the rules, it will be saved and passed on to the next member until it is complete.



Rules:
-Each build will not exceed $500 or 20 objects
-Lights (if any), Effects (if any), Weapons, Grenades, Armor Abilities, Objectives, Cameras, Start Points and Respawn Points will be placed at map completion.


Note, just because you can not place weapons, does not mean you cannot design a structure around a specific weapon placement (eg. Sniper Tower, Rocket Hallway)
This rule is in effect for gameplay purposes, if you wish for your structure to house a specific weapon, you may request this and it will be taken into consideration during final editing

-Sign-ups are on a first come- first serve basis. Reserve your spot fast!
-If you decide to backout, please provide ample notice so that we can reopen signups.
-Failure to comply with these rules will result in disqualification, wherein the map will be passed to the next in line
-No deleting others placed objects

Yep, so I wrote all this up in the last Choose Your Event thread, but since we have a ton of new members (new eyes, opinions, etc.) I figured I'd bring it back up. Typos and all.

Right, so a while back Blue hosted his first Tuesday Night Grifball. It was awesome. Tons of fun, and laughs, and sex jokes, and fun. We did it again. Still awesome. It kept going for a while, and since Blue no longer had a Gold membership, and I was disappointed with the last turn out I was losing interest - becoming forgetful, putting other things before TNG, and I assume others were to. I stopped hosting. And just a few weeks later I got an awesome idea (I even Qwittered it (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showpost.php?p=128100&postcount=6967)!). My idea was to not only host Grifball games, but other Minigames as well. Don't get me wrong I had a shit ton of maps and game types to play on, but it would get slow. So, what I would like to do in Reach is simply host a Minigame Customs night. Something along the lines of Silly Saturdays, or Wacky Wednesdays. The idea is simple enough, a person hosts a Customs lobby, this host has a ton of games to play. Others can test their Maps/Gametypes. Host goes and takes screenshots/videos, and recaps the event in a thread.

Essentially Wow with a more targeted audience, but a broader one than Tuesday Night Grifball. And honestly, I think I'm going to do this even if it doesn't become some sort of official event ran by the staff. I had a lot of fun with TNG, I plan to have a lot of fun with this.

This never happened due to my dying interest in Reach. And laziness. Mostly laziness. But since I'm bringing this idea back up, I'd like to give a little extra attention to my mention of recapping the event. This is a rather big part of it as it brings extra attention to the event. It shows what's to be expecting the next time it happens. I think things like silly/epic/etc. screenshots are always nice to look at. Something I didn't mention before are stats.Simply a gathering of statistics from the games played. For example, they could show who came in first place the most times, who played the most games, who got the most head shots, how many total deaths there were during the event. Yeah...



I'm thinking of stuff as I write so things may seem out of place. :P

I also support this. I really wasn't happy with the last happy with the last Tourney we had. Left me very bitter. The only thing that I liked, truly enjoyed from it was the game organization. "Be there at this time or you're out", great. Loved it. Had a problem with the time? All you had to do was post about it. I'd like our next tourney do get some things right. One problem could be solved two ways; Map maker has an advantage (even if you don't agree, wouldn't you rather have people not bitching about it?). First solution: Don't use custom maps, or at least entirely new maps. Second: Anyone can make a map, but these map makers cannot participate in the battling part of the tourney. Third: Make this advantage the sort of theme behind the whole tourney, like the Home Security Tournament (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3235) XF had a while back. Another thing I'd like to see would be a sort of benched player; 3v3 games, but teams actually consist of four players. This extra can hop in filling the spot of an absent player. Actually this was another thing that the last tourney had, that I liked, though I think that it was an underused option. Bucket said that long term events are hard to follow through with, and I agree there's been a couple things I've seen start ad not end properly, I bring this up because I suggested that anyone could make a map, obviously not every map made is worthy of being used in a tourney, I protested against the use of Static in the last tourney till my eyes bled, and then I didn't even feel like bothering with Threshold (which was even worse). I keep blathering, my bad, anyway provide a time for XFers to make their map (a map, one single map) they submit their map, much like, or in place of, a monthly Forgery Challenge. After submissions are made members vote for the maps the feel should be in the tournament. Long process, I doubt it'll happen. I said that the tounery could work this advantage right into the tournament, by letting people chose their very own Map/Gametype to play on, and there's a problem with this. A rather large one. Many members haven't made anything yet! So, perhaps this is best saved for a later time.

Yeah, I'm done for now.Well, my last point I bring up isn't such a problem, it is later now. There's a hefty amount of content out there to play on.

So yeah... if you have any thoughts at all about this, please tell me. If you want to bash please do. I wan to know if I'm crazy or an idiot or whatever. Telling me what's wrong with my ideas helps me work to make them better. If there's even just one thing in here you agree with, or are in favor of, it can only motivate me.

@ Tipsta cause I dun want to quote that.

I would definitely support what your getting at. I think that with all the content coming from Reach, there could be much more successful events. I would play at a minigame custom night, but I really hate grifball with a passion. :P

There also should be some form of recap as well, it gives people who weren't there a great demonstration of how they work. This WOULD encourage new members to come out to events.

I think it would be cool to do small events on minecraft. Maybe there could be a spleef tournament, or everyone could just kill each other (last person standing wins)
