Well, I have a Revolutionary Idea.
How about a "Clan News" area.
Each individual Clan has their own person in the News Team, and they write up reports that they gather throughout the month of how the clan has been, what could be done to help it, or what all is happening due to a leaders absence or something.
A lot could be accomplished by doing this, it could also allow a much better judge of how the important people in the clan, and seeing if they are doing their job correctly. This would make the flow of things much easier, and also help in finding out which clans are really hurting right now and need much attention.
News is one of the more important things in XG, I understand. Even each SPAM message we receive on live is News, BUT Assuming each person has a News Team member in their clan, to keep a good check on what is happening in said clan, things can be announced much more fluently, allowing a nice flow of traffic.
Well, also, it's always a great thing if you are the General of a clan and people come in and compliment you on a job well done after reading of triumphs in the news.
Same goes for essentially everybody in the clan.
As an example, there could be like,
KIKeff1 was promoted to a Lieutenant on 4/3/08 If ya get a chance to see him, make sure to say "Hi", and "Congratulations!"
and also a sort of Obituary Column to represent all the people who have left the certain clan during the month.

Here come an interview for the ages. lets take the time and see what our Gamer Girls are up to.
Jerriel: So how is it going today Blondii and 1CoolMom?
XGG Blondii XS: Giggiddy-giggiddy - alright! Meh, actually, I have to go to work, but other than that...
XGC 1CoolMom XD: Fine
Jerriel: First off, how long have you ladies been in XG?
XGG Blondii XS: Since October 10, 2006 (what, 11 months?)
XGC 1CoolMom XD: I have been in XG almost one year now. I joined the first week of October '06
Jerriel: How did you hear about XG? i.e.Recruiter, friend,clan match??
XGC 1CoolMom XD: Some friends I played Halo with were in XG and recruited me
XGG Blondii XS: I was recruited in matchmaking 4 days after I got back on to Halo 2 after a 1-year hiatus from the box. Snipers on Headlong is where I met my General and Sargeant, chillin' in the garage.
Jerriel: do you remember your first thoughts about XG?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: Yes I do. my first thoughts were that I thought XGC was only for really good gamers. by good, I mean skill in the game. I had no idea it was for everyone. Once I was recruited, I was amazed and thrilled. As a female, I was so tired of the harassment as well as the cheaters and modders, so I was thrilled that I found XG.
XGG Blondii XS: Not really, I barely remember getting recruited, my memory was refreshed to the above amount.
Jerriel: may i ask what you tags were before you changed it?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: My tag befor joining XG was: ONE COOL MOM. It stayed that way until I made General and I put the XGC in front of it.
XGG Blondii XS: blndii666
Jerriel: what was you first clan?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: XGC Coldfire is the clan I recruited into and rose through the ranks in and became general over until I made section leader, and then it was still part of my section aka "The Section of Coolness" (my old generals have a little saying on each of their sigs that says "section of coolness alumni", isn't that sweet?) So you can imagine how hard it has been to transfer completely to XGG and leave my baby (Coldfire) behind.
XGG Blondii XS: XGC Nightmare
Jerriel: With you ladies being XS and XD, do you have any tips for Generals and Captains on how they could run their Clan or Squad more efficiently?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: absolutely. For SL: DON'T micro manage! as tempting as it may be to want to make all the little decisions for your clans, don't. remember the freedom you enjoyed as a general to make your own decisions and let your generals enjoy that same freedom. and constant communication. for Generals: COMMUNICATION! If you have constant communication with your captains and your members, then your clan should be successful. hold weekly captain and clan meetings. Keep a note book and write everything down when you think of it during the week so that at meeting time you have an exact list of things to go over. be fair but firm. and most importantly......have fun!
XGG Blondii XS: Eliminate drama. Game with your clan, and don't play favorites.
Jerriel: Also you ladies are the proud Leaders of our our very cool Gamer Girls.How is their new clan 'Xiled Queens' going? And who came up with the name?
XGG Blondii XS: Well, we've got a great group of girls over there, with more coming in everyday. It's a lot of fun. Ask them some time about my new nickname...
My nickname? (lol - I'm not telling you what the nickname is ) Honestly, I can't remember if it was Mom or myself that came up with the name. But the name is sort of the female version of our Xiled Kings clan, the original XGC clan. We thought it was fitting.
XGC 1CoolMom XD: The clan XGG XiledQueenz is going great and running smoothly. Blondii and I kind of both came up with the idea quite a while ago based on the roots of Xiled Gaming. Back in KSI our council members were in a clan called Xiled Kings (there was also an Xiled Queenz). When they started XG, one of the very first clans in XG was XGC Xiled Kings, there is also a KoG Xiled Kings. It was only natural to have an Xiled Queenz!
Jerriel: Do you think XGG will grow to be as big as the other divisions in Xiled Gaming, ie; XGC, KoG and Syndicate?
XGG Blondii XS: I think it could be bigger, there is a lot of potential here!
XGC 1CoolMom XD: Absolutely!!! we have many things in the works to ensure that happens. Blondii and I are 100 percent partners and work very well together and work very hard, we are going to build XGG into a very big, very successful division!
Jerriel: Just two more questions. Do you think that XG will be a well known clan and Gaming Communtiy?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: XGG? or XG? the answer to both is Yes!!
XGG Blondii XS: I personally think that it is already a well-known community! I know of three instances of people running in to other people IN PERSON that have known of XG, and just happening to get on the subject somehow, in the past few weeks.
Jerriel: Last one, Is there any thing that you would like to say to any one reading this?
XGC 1CoolMom XD: Yes, I have been put in a very privileged position, and I don't take that lightly. I am truly honored that the council has put so much trust in me as to say "here is a division, now build it up". It is a huge task and Blondii and I are up to the challenge! I would like all who are reading this to go and find at least one female gamer on your friends list and tell her about XGG and have her send one of the following girlz a friend request or PM to be recruited into XGG: XGG JENNA, XGG BlackRose, XGC Blondii XS or XGG 1COOLMOM XD We would appreciate any referrals from anybody. Thanks so much Jerriel for doing this interview, it has been fun!
XGG Blondii XS: Definitely! Quite a few people have been doing so, but sending girls our way is very helpful. If everyone who read this news article sent one girl our way - we could easily double in size!

APPLICATION - MOVEMENT ON MASS EFFECT 2
Application - Movement on Mass Effect 2
After months of silence, fans of the Bioware RPG Mass Effect finally have new information on the upcoming sequel to salivate over. Over the past month several updates have been released, including a GDC lecture on ME2 level design, a teaser trailer, and a tentative release window.
GDC Level Design Lecture
It has been announced that Bioware project manager Corey Andruko and technical designer Dusty Everman will hold an hour long lecture discussing what the design team learned in creating the first Mass Effect and how this will influence their process the second time around. This may include discussion of the first game's side quests, often derided for being 'cut-and-paste' in their variety. The lecture is titled "The Iterative Level Design Process of Bioware's Mass Effect 2" and will be given at the 2009 Game Developers Conference, being held March 23-27 in San Francisco.
Teaser Trailer
Shortly after the GDC lecture was announced, this trailer appeared on the web. The video, a close-up pan of battle-worn armor, plays in the background, protagonist Commander Shepard's accomplishments and associates (including Urdnot Wrex, who, depending on your choices, may have been killed near the end of the first game) flash in the foreground. At the end it is revealed that Shepard has been declared KIA. Despite this, Bioware has urged players to hold on to their save files, as they should carry on throughout the trilogy. Perhaps not all hope is lost for our hero?
Release Date
Last but certainly not least, Mass Effect 2 has a tentative release window: Q4 2009. Revealed in an earnings conference call with EA CEO John Riccitiello, this likely refers to the fiscal year, which would translate into an early 2010 release date, barring any delays. The game has been confirmed as a 'multiplatform release' by EA, though whether this expands beyond the PC and Xbox 360 and what the timetables of these releases are is unclear.
More information is likely to filter down over the coming months. In the meantime, Mass Effect fans will have to satisfy their cravings with the upcoming DLC. Look for more Mass Effect 2 news coming soon!

It is important that the application you submit is something you wrote. With that said it does not mean we expect you to only bring your own work to the table. Giving credit to the person who wrote something is important. If you copy-paste in the future it is required you give credit to the writer. Other than that good job on the article, you are the only person to submit an article with pictures and links. Great Work!!!

I did try not to copy them word for word, but there is very little information out on the subject. Everything I could find only had these five or six bit of info. I can write up an article on something a bit more established and have it ready in a day or so. Any topic suggestions?

I understand that the game is still underwraps. When applying I recommend you review a game you played. Like Mass Effect, because then the opinion is your own. Just remember in the future, reviews are alot easier than previews.

What I'm looking for in a New Team member!
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN A PROSPECTIVE NEWS TEAM MEMBER
As most of you know, I will be the one handling the applications for the News Team. I review your application thoroughly and will be scrutinizing it left and right; so make sure it's perfected.
What we need are enthusiastic, down to earth, well-versed writers who are looking to share their knowledge of several games that have been or have yet to cross our consoles.
Proper grammar and punctuation is a must. If you do not know how to put a period at the end of a sentence, then don't bother applying. Also, if you cannot determine whether or not your sentence is an actual sentence, rather than a fragment, then don't waste your time here.
Use graphics and pictures from the actual game to captivate the reader's attention. I know, from personal experience, that reading a review with no picture is far more boring and dull than one that has them. So keep that in mind when you post your application.
Professionalism is a must. We are not elitists; however, we expect the best from our News Team Members.
With that said, you may begin applying. If you are refused for the first time, you can re-apply with a different piece of YOUR OWN work and it will be reviewed again.
One more thing, do not copy and paste from other sites and pretend that it is your review. If you are using certain content you found on a website, credit the person who first wrote it.
Come one, come all. Let the New Team begin.

BRAND NEW APPLICATION JUST FOR BUNITE
brand new application just for Bunite
Ok here is my brand new one bunite and I had a talk about the old one and he said I should just write a new one hope you enjoy.
Another Fastball to the Head of the 2K team, that is how to explain the game MLB 2K9. It was a great try by the 2K team for trying to make the MLB games better.
Although 2K9 is a lot better the 2K8 with the worse controls for a baseball game ever, 2K9 controls are sub-par still Like the batting controls to hit a homerun you have to wait for the pitch to get really close and then you have to pull the right stick down and them back up as fast as you can witch sometimes is very annoying because it is hard to do and if you play it for an extended period of time your thumb will start to hurt. Also pitching is very hard to do and understand.
There are many bugs and glitches in this game for example, the weird controls. I experienced a big rate of errors because of some weird design choices. For example, outfielders seem to be unable to catch the ball if you’re still making fine movements to the left stick while the ball drops from the sky. You can still be directly on the target, but your player will simply not reach up and catch it. It will make you mad every time this will happen because it most of the time it will happen in key situations. There are a ton of problems with the first baseman too. On easy throws from the other infielders, he would move his foot off the bag for no reason, and not make any effort to get back. With delayed reactions from the umps on the field, you often won’t realize that he is off the base until the runner already crossed it.
Again, the glitches and bad controls ruin what would be a really good experience. There are some great touches to the game play, like a simple throw-meter, easy to understand base-running, and an arrow on the ground to show you the direction of your bunt. Modes are better with Franchise and Play Ball options and the teams which can have their rosters updated automatically over Xbox Live.
In this time of having exclusive licenses with the major sports leagues, MLB 2K9 is just proof how that policy can come back and bite gamers in the butt. If you want a better baseball video game unfortunately it’s on the PS3 with MLB 09 the Show. Xbox 360 gamers are stuck with this frustrating game that could have been better with some minor adjustments would have been a gem. Instead, that no-hitter in the bottom of the ninth the just got broken-up by a walk off home run.
