Who: You and anybody else who reads this
What: Thursday Maw Gathering
When: Nov. 1st @ 7:00pm EST until whenever
Where: Bungie.net Maw server @ IP 8.2.0.184
Why: Because it so much more fun to kill people you know and laugh about it afterwards then to kill random noobs on public servers.

Maw Gatherings are when the members of these forums get together to wage mortal combat on the Maw server. Then we usually fill up this thread with our exploits and smacktalking. I usually record my pwnage with Fraps and post a montage the next day but lately my wireless has been making playing Halo difficult so I my not be there.

There is a Teamspeak server available for those that have microphones. The address is ts20.gameservers.com:8824. I really encourage this, several of the members here get on it and it enhances the enjoyment. If you have voice-activation set it towards shout so we don't hear every breath you take. The language rule kind of went out the window with Teamspeak but I would like that to be more enforced there. Yes me too. I’ve been doing my best to censor myself. Try and be civil as possible everyone.

I also have acquired the preety little toy known as Sony Vegas and I am currently in the process of making a huge end of the year video. I will probably release it around Christmas.

Rules in brief:
No Intentional Teamkilling
Keep foul language, flaming and random off-topic chatting to a minimum
Keep flag, spawn and port camping to a minimum
Keep the vehicles out of the tunnels and bases
Have fun.

Failure to follow these rules may result in my foot in your ass so please follow the rules guys, it's not that hard.

The Map Rotation is set. Have Fun!

Question: Why don't these things happen on the weekend?

We have thought about that and we might do it in the future. I might start doing it mainly because I'm going to be working a lot so keep your eyes peeled, there might be one soon.

Answer: Because a lot of people work on weekends. And don't have time to show up.

Rebuttal: More people work during the weekdays and have much more free time on the weekends. Is this because you work on the weekdays? Have you guys ever decided about having a poll on this issue?

No people have said it before. I think we tried it once but it never really took off. Depending on how many people are intersted we might hold one on Friday or something. The maw currently is holding practice on saturday.

What about people with part time jobs? Who may work on the weekend but have, say, Monday-Tuesday off. Or Wednesday-Thursday? Not everyone has a 9-5 Monday-Friday job. Even if they did, they'd be using thier weekends to get housework done, or for social occasions.

Not everyone, but by far most people have more spare time on weekends. You are saying not everyone works during week, so should we only satisfy the minority?

As Nessy points out, this is a majority rules case. When I was doing wallpapers for CMT on their single player mod I had a poll over at Gearbox. The majority voted 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Now, yes, people did vote for lower and higher res, but a very small amount did, and because I did it for those two resolutions, the general reception behind them was wide-spread enjoyment, because the majority of the community could use them.

yeah, but most people do stuff on the weekends like go out and such, unless everyone in the maw has no life, which isn't true.

Woot!

That's the exact point of it. People do this on a day to day basis on weekdays; the weekend is when you have some free time. Also, who has ever heard of a game not taking up time in your life? If you can't make it then you can't make it.

Yeah that gathering was terrible almost no one showed.

Okay...you know what...I have something to say and after this you probably won't see me for a week(I'm probably going to get blacklisted.) but this needs to be said.

I am gettng sick and tired of people joining and -blam!-ing their ass out. OMG THIS MODE SUCKS.

IF IT SUCKS GET THE -blam!- OUT!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE IS MAKING YOU STAY!!

Leave and come back. If you don't like a mode than thats fine but no one gives a flying -blam!-. IT is a matter of opinion. I don't need to know every five seconds you don't like the mode. JUST -blam!- QUIT!!! God people just hit esc, scroll to leave game and click. There are plently of servers out there.

Most of you hate those modes because you do the same freaking mode every freaking day and you still like them and you become used to those and refuse to accept new modes. BE -blam!- OPENED MINDED! Try something new. That sniper target is fun as hell in my opinion but everyone is to busy -blam!-ing to see that. Thats why it only goes to 15.

Nothing is set in stone. There is no universal mode for a universal map. Play different stuff.

I will continue to throw modes that you are not used to in their to keep it new. We do the same -blam!- and I'm trying to expose you all to different stuff.

Bottom line if you don't like it than quit -blam!- -blam!-ing and get the -blam!- out! [/endrant]

Well if no one is showing let's move it to the weekend. I'm gonna be gone this weekend so if you can set it up Demi do so. Otherwise we'll do it next Saterday. I suggest mapcycle be up by 4pm EST and be left on. We can have clan practice just before it.

Anybody else takes it and I kill you in your sleep.

I'd agree, but having the "wacky" gametypes is a nice break from the standard games, and besides, there's a whole bunch of servers out there with normal games if you want to play on those. Also, having standard gametypes increases competitive-ness-ism and I'd say the gatherings are just for fun.
