Ever since attempting to organize a play session with a few members on here for PS All-Stars (and ultimately failing due to not organizing it properly), I've been toying with the notion that the G.U.N. Game Zone should have a sub-forum that members could use to organize game sessions with other members on the board. It could be divided by gaming platform (based on the 'Fan Club' groups established by Metallix) for organizational purposes, or simply general-purpose, but it would allow members to set up play time with other members. It could be as simple as "who wants to play a round of Black Ops?", to something more complex like a Sonic Blast Team Fortress 2 team with a discussion topic. Ultimately this idea would be fuelled by the forum's inclination to use such an idea, so I was wondering what the general consensus was on an idea like this. I think it would be a great opportunity for members to branch out and play together, as well as paving the way for larger, more organized events like gaming tourneys and the like depending on public interest; and since most members have their information listed on their profile, connectivity shouldn't be much of an issue. What are your thoughts on something like this?

I don't know where I'm going.

A good idea. It's been awhile since I've seen one of those. Quick question though... Ktim It could be divided by gaming platform (based on the 'Fan Club' groups established by Metallix) for organizational purposes, or simply general-purpose, but it would allow members to set up play time with other members. Do you mean amongst single individuals or tourneys? One-on-One can get setup via Messenger, which is why I ask.
	Facebook \| Twitter \| YouTube Hey there party people! I started a gaming YouTube channel! I'll be posting all my latest vids in the signature. Keep up with them! Sonic Crossroads 6 years ago, I began a fangame project called "Pure Shadow". I cancelled the project due to lack of time and other priorities. Now that I'm in college, and have loads of more time, I found the file and began to pick it up again. After refreshing my memory of all the coding put into the engine, I decided to use it to write a new project. Drawing out a new plot and new gimmicks for the project, I decided to rename this project called Sonic Crossroads. This project is going to be completed in Game Maker 8 PRO coded by myself and my friend who goes by the alias, MastaaFrederick. Because of our lack of experience in many aspects to increase enjoyability (such as music, artistry, animation, etc.), we want to develop a small team to work on this project. Anyone who is interested, please message me. On top of these things, we want to create a new antagonist for the story. We, MastaaFrederick and I, need a whole new character concept. We want the most creative fan character we can find, and create a sprite sheet for this character. We would like to find a character via messenger. Demo for the fangame coming soon.

Either way would work. @Lacen: One on one could be set up through Messenger, yeah, but throwing the idea out for more people to see would be a better way of garnering interest. If you already had someone in mind, then it'd probably be best to go the way you suggested.

I say we should go for it.

Although, no one would ever play any of the games that I do so it's not like I could contribute. Still, worth a shot. Maybe I'd be surprised.

"I didn't use the whole thing ...." Posts: 3,252 Group: =SB= Kings Member #9,868 Joined: March 28, 2009	We did try this once before and it died because very few people here seem to play the same games.

[Outrealm Vagabond] Posts: 4,994 Group: C Rank Legend Member #11,272 Joined: July 25, 2010	Something like this is what I figured the general discussion topics for games I suggested could be used for, so I'm all for the idea personally. Another forum I'm on has a sub-section just like this for organising games with each-other and it works a treat. All the games with major interest have got a topic and they're often used to organise games and generally list whoever is playing the games and on what system. So yeah, I'm all for giving this a try. I don't know if the community is quite diverse enough to warrant separate sub-forums for each platform, so general purpose should be fine. Dividing it up that much sounds a little messy anyhow.

Well an earlier post suggested basing it on the Clubs that some folks have in their profiles. All the Sony peeps would have one, the Ninties have one, the hardcore SEGAs have one, the XBOXers have one and the PC gamers ~~master race~~ have one.

[Outrealm Vagabond] Posts: 4,994 Group: C Rank Legend Member #11,272 Joined: July 25, 2010	Yeah. But the question is do we really have enough people in each group to warrant separate sub-forums? And what happens with multi-platform games? Just something to consider in the implementation process, I suppose.

Well, I suppose we could start with a few topics to help gauge member interest - if there's enough then we can make the subforum.
