I've always liked the idea of tournaments.

Clearly that would need a lot of work but it's a good start.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Create new system that allows you to list events on a "bulletin board". That will be the ad. It will be similar to groups as people can make it open or invite only. Perhaps instead it could be open and allow invites, similar to Xbox Live parties. Maybe there can be discussion on these "ads" instead of having an entire group.

My ideas feels rough, I need more people to help me in this....

I personally don't like the Facebook Events model for this type of thing. I think it would fall into the old habit that community Carnage type events fell into, and become closed off "cool kids" gatherings, instead of true egalitarian gatherings of anyone in the Community who can attend. Perhaps if the names and system were organized prior to an Event like message system, where more than just the initiated could get them and try to be involved, it could work. But as it stands now, the message would have to go out to everyone, which is a terrible idea because it universal spam, or people who are already organized together, like those in a group. There would need to be another level put in place first, or this would go nowhere.

I personally would rather there be a separate system, or board, or group for all of this. It would be cleaner, and if throttled correctly, could handle the eventual chaotic nature that these things imbue on themselves.

Oh, I thought he was pulling a "Bnet isn't Facebook" number, which I hate.

If I see another person try to insinuate that Bnet is turning into Facebook, I'm going to explode.

NO, THAT WAS NOT AT ALL RELATED OR SIMILAR TO A FACEBOOK EVENT, THIS HAPPENS ON THE SITE, THAT DOES NOT

Pretty much facebook events?
Why not? What's wrong with the Facebook event system?

I KNEW YOU'D COME, I JUST KNEW IT

OT: Yeah, I would prefer that it not turn into a cool kids sort of thing (I prob. wouldn't get in), but SJ's model is pretty sweet. We could even improve it to make it better.

It's so crazy... it just might work.

You're never somber enough to play apples to apples.

I just made it a drinking game, good luck with that

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

It would definitely have to be very organized, so that it isn't just the Bungie.net 'cool kids' who get to play (although that definitely was not a problem when playing with DeeJ, and co. last night).

It would also have to be less frequent than 'once a week' in my opinion. The more frequent it becomes, the less special, fun and stupid (in a good way) it will be.

However, I'd love to see more of these in the future.

I wish community events were sorted into something like this event calendar. It would be easier to see when events are going on and how much time people have to sign up. This way you can also plan ahead if you're really wanting to attend a particular carnage.

Hey Dee J, something like this would be nice!

I agree if scheduled you could get people in them easily, although, will be nice if you had some secret ones.

And i actually like Sonic Johns idea, so that you will have to choose which side you are depending on your post event hopefully. Also there could be many teams.

I like it.

OT: I don't think that normal community members should be posting "hey lets play a community game" in this forum, because of reasons that have already been stated, it would be hundreds of the same idea from different users, unorganized, and that that isn't the point of this forum. Until there is a better way to organize things like that, which Deej seems to be working on, those events should only be hosted by Deej or a ninja with his authority.

Or private groups can be used.

Why not make teams on these forums, we can save these, and use them to start a community league, something like a league setup where team with most points go to the playoffs, where the teams shall play best of 7 and the team that wins the series go on to the the next round until we reach the finals.

The leagues go from October to Just before Summer holidays, and the playoffs during the holidays, and the finals during the last two weaks of the summer holidays.

This may be a problem for our aussie members, as i am not so sure if their holidays are reversed.

Still i mainly made this up just looking at the NHL system. We may need a website for this.

What about a community event forum? I know it's close to the classified's...but that doesn't really get used all that often well from what I have seen anyway.
Posted by: Chalupa King117
How about we improve upon Bungie.net's PM system?

Allow users to organize Events. They can list the title of the event, dates and times, and possibly a short description. Organizers can send invites to users who can either decline or accept. Users who accept are put into a "roster" for the organizers to use.

My idea is very rough; I'm not in the thinking mood at the moment so I will come back to it tomorrow.

Personally for me I come to this forum to discuss the community and the site itself, not to find people to play games with. Every once in a while as a special treat its kinda fun, but it would get really old really fast if that is all that went on here. It needs its own place, not only to prevent clutter on the forums, but also to make sure things are well organized each time it happens.
