1. GWJ's very own never ending story, but with less Atreyu. All are invited and many are infected.
2. A weekly Halo 2 get together that has a strong [b]emphasis on fun[/b]. Having a good time always trumps skill, so stat loving spawn campers either need not apply or show up unsober.
Takes place every Wednesday, [b]8:00 PM Central [/b]Time.
A wide variety of gametypes (like zombie) are played where the focus is intentionally not twitch based, so Goodjers of all experience levels are welcome. Yoyoson has put together a list of gametypes [url=http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/23678]here [/url]to give you an idea, but you do not need to enter them in. A big part of Zombie Skate is creating new gametypes that facilitate this end.
To join in on the shambling send an in-game message from Halo 2 to someone from this thread. Messages from the 360 dashboard are not viewable by players already in Halo 2, so be sure that it is a message sent from within Halo 2's friends list. [b]Download the free map packs [/b]before joining the fray.
Friends are welcome but be sure to let them know that while tomfoolery is mandatory, asshattery is prohibited.

Sent you a friend invite, rddragon512. If you don't come up with something else for me to call you, your nickname automatically reverts to G-money or Dirty Dog.

I've been meaning to get back and join you guys, but my Wed nights are usually a little more busy. I'll try and make it next week, though, and see if I can drag Kat along
I've been considering picking up Halo 2 just for this night, as it seems like the kind of thing I'd really enjoy (noncompetitive, fun-based multi). So you might be getting a fresh face here sometime soon.

Three Bag! I want it!
Sorry Yoyo, at Zero's suggestion I dropped the bagging from the gametype and changed it to Rochembeaux. It's pushing the number of honesty policy rules that are doable as is. You are more than welcome to come up with a gametype that implements teabagging, but I warn you that striking a stable, simple design is like a frikkin' rubik's cube in a finger trap made of crossword puzzles.

Well Rassilon is my other call from my youth, or G-Money works also. Too bad the dragon would have 'flamed' you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't try and pin that one on me! Although I do agree that this isn't the game where it belongs, I love the idea of a game with teabagging as one of the primary gameplay elements.

Oddly, I don't recall teabagging as part of the rules in Three Bag. I only remember the epic conflict of Rockets, Snipers, and Vehicles.
I thought Zero suggested the name change. That was what I meant. I took out the teabagging element before testing as it added too many honor system rules to keep straight.
Danjo Olivaw Lives
Oh.
Right, that one you can pin on me.

We need a shooter game where you can define custom rules with a scripting language or something.
I think I've already ranted enough about the heresies involved with releasing a multiplayer game sans script editor in a post StarCraft world.

Love what you've done with the place. See y'all on Wednesday.

Luna, who is your avatar? She looks like Sarah Silverman but it's tough to tell at that resolution.
*edit*
Never mind. Found the answer in another thread... Nice choice.

Bring on the brains. Been too long in the cryo. I need to kill me some motherf*ckers tonight.

I'm gonna try to pick up a used copy of Halo 2 tonight after work so I can play. I've never played Zombie Skate or Halo 2 for that matter.
I'm scared
EDIT:
My better half just called to tell me she picked up Halo 2 for me (she rocks). So I'll definately be there.
