NO HALO 3 CLANS!

[TRu GALIA]

I've read every post in here and some i agree w/ and some i don't. One thing that we(the council of leaders and the rest of the community)are forgeting is where we came from. Does anyone know were XG started? What was able to create such an awesome community? We'll It is HALO2. Where am i going with this, well i'm trying to say that halo is as great and powerful as this community. This is directed towards hylander, you always say that HALO3 is just another game right. We'll is it just another game? I don't think that it's. If halo can create this commounity it sure can break it, and that what everyone is forgeting about. You can't say halo3 is just another game. It's what made us, and we have to respect this. You have to accept the game for what it is and not what you want it to be. It not just another game, now whether you belive that is your desion.

---- but there is nowhere i or anyone else can go to find things like that out; it would be nice if there were.

HY - The place is your General and Section Leaders as they were told this information over a month ago.

---- as far as running clans on the website i know about that, however there was nothing ever posted on the site that explained any benefits of this, for instance someone told me i would be able to message the whole clan at once from there. that functionality is not there yet (could be due to the previously mentioned technical difficulties). but i would have thought that somthing that big, that affected everyone, would have been in the news section or somthing.

HY - Again, this was told to the Section Leaders over a month ago and I know they have put the word out. I also have posted this on the website in probably 10 or more areas responding to questions and concerns. And yes, the delay in the PM system is due to the website troubles we have been dealing with. However, I would say, 80% of the Generals do not even use the PM system we have know nor do they post a clan list so if it was setup would that be something they actually used?


---- now i understand that xg clans are not for just one game, the way i always understood that is: don't think that you are not "in" XG when you play another game. you must still follow the honor code and all. but it does not make sense to not have a primary game in a individual clan. otherwise you end up with 2 ppl in 1 game in the clan. which really doesn't allow those 2 the benefits of being in xg. a.k.a: having cool ppl to play with. why deny them that? what is the benefit of not having clans specific per game?

HY - CLANS are groups of like minded gamers playing games together as a unit. Most are groups of FRIENDS not just a gang of trash talking idiots hanging out in pre game lobbies marveling at the number besides their name. XG wants good people that enjoy getting online and gaming together. It doesn't matter where the CLAN forums are on the site and it surely does not matter if a group of people in any of our clans gets on H2, H3 or DDR together. They are in XG and choose to game together and have fun doing it regardless of the game they decide to play. No one is denying anyone anything.

You are fooling yourself if you really think that HALO is what made us what we are. The Council members knew each other before HALO while running clans in other games and platforms. As a unit they moved to playing HALO and repeated building a large CLAN of like minded gamers and eventually that turned into a community. They moved to something new (XG) for many reasons but when they did, it was not to be a HALO clan. It was to be an online gaming community.

If HALO 2 did not have a clan list in it the game would not have lasted as long as it did. It turned into a social hang out rather then a serious online clan system. H3 with no clan list will never last as long as H2 did. There are way to many games out there that now compete for gamers, GEARS, Shadowrun, Call of DUTY 4, The Orange Box(this is probably going to kick H3 in the a$$) and many others.

Having said that, XG has a great CLAN system on it's website for it's members to use. You can easily group your members together, communicate with them and play whatever games you want. ONLINE GAMING COMMUNITY.

Will we use an H3 clan system or MS dashboard if they put it up?
If it was a benefit for us, sure we would. But in the end, you would still have to put your members on the website and maintain the usegroup as that is the CLAN LIST.

Even with H2 we posted our clan list on the website!!

Ok correct me if im wrong but from what you just sayed it sound like your telling me that the council of leaders are XG. What about ALL OF THE PEOPLE FROM HALO2 such as me? What are we?

What made XG what it is today? If I recall there was no other gaming trend before Halo 2 that surpassed Halo 2. I don't mean XG's origin, but what really gave it that kick?

my point is that were trying to get everyone to use the website for communication, but in this case the leaders didn't do what they want us to do. they used word of mouth. instead of the website. and secondly, by the time someone in my position hears news through that method it has prolly been passed through about 5 ppl. have you ever played the game telephone? by the time the message gets to the other side, it may still be the same message, but little facts are left out, or words are switched, somtimes its not a big deal, sometimes it is. it would be nice if we had a place where we could go to get like an official original statement in its entirety. on top of that it would encourage the communication through the website that we desire, and allow us to look back on it for future reference.

i think you misunderstood me there. i didn't say anything about wich section the forums were posted in. i was suggesting that we group people together that play the same game. you said a group of gamers that choose to play together. in this particular situation, they do not choose to play with me, because they don't have a 360 or halo3. and i do not choose to play with them because i don't want to play halo2 anymore, which is what they play. so they are left alone. there are many members like that, but they are all spread very thin. to not combine them into fewer clans is just not taking care of them. give them an easier way to get ahold of eachother, thats all i'm asking.

as far as the "trash talking idiots hanging out in pre game lobbies marveling at the number besides their name" comment. i'm not real sure what you meant by that. and i really hope it wasn't directed at anyone.

Ok I want everyone to drop this arguing. Everything XGC HYLANDER XL and the rest of the leaders are saying is the truth. We are not trying to " make you guys angry."We are just trying to answer questions. So stop twisting the words and asking questions about things we already answered pages ago. Seriously if there is anymore bickering don't even bother posting it, because I will remove it. We want everyone to be on the same page and we need everyones help to relay the messages, but going back and forth on what we already answered is nonsense.

I am not saying stop asking questions, because thats what we are here for. What I am saying though is ask the question and whatever we respond is the answer. End of story.

Thanks,

I hope you weren't singling me out .

I understand what you are saying Exile but everyone here needs too keep in mind that forums are text based and what you type can easily be taken out of context and also putting up the join a clan section will help but that is still not going to do that much we as leadership should be doing all we can to make sure that everyone gets the proper info and carry on from there but so we need to be carefull cause fighting with each other makes if difficult for us to preform our duties....But agian I just want to point out that guys we gotta be carefull of how we word things cause it easy to see simple statments as attacks if they are not carefully worded and it seems that people are losing site of what the original topic was and becoming defensive just what I am opserveing. So everyone instead of fighting we should be trying to find better ways to keep this community great
