I am a non-guilder, but what is this for? Just wondering.
I'll join whoever wants to be with me.

Rook, let us have our fun with teams. Yes, there would be complications but hey, this isn't going to end in World War One.

Alright guys, if you can come up with a really solid plan on how the teams work, we'll consider doing teams in CABGO. Because right now, no teams-related competition is planned.

by eclipsegrafx Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:57 am

I think in the end it would complicate things considerably.

Also, are there prizes? If so it would make things, again, complicated:P.

Of course there are prizes, what kind of epic contest would it be without them? Wink

I assumed there would be but you know what they say about assumptions...

Here's what I have so far...but only for the Guild Member and non-Guild members contest.

List of names on who's entering.

Team leaders are picked by Staff.

Team leaders take turns in picking members for their team.

I'm not sure about how the judging works, so I'll wait until I know before I start thinking of a possible judging process.

by Knight Fri Mar 19, 2010 7:14 pm

Axle that looks like a great plan. For the judging how about the staff votes for the guildies, and non guildies, and the guildies vote for staff. The only other way that I could think of if is if it worked like Corps challenge.

A very good idea. I definitely think it would work.
If we do it this way, you can add my name to the list!

by Alpha Beta Fri Mar 19, 2010 11:34 pm

Enter me too! Smile

I also have to agree with Axle's idea, that seems like a fair way to pick teams.

Well seeing how you guys haven't got any information regarding some recent changes to the gazette, I'd like to tell you that Chaotic Good has been replaced by a different guild member one you probably know from his creations, Tac.

by Tac Fri Mar 26, 2010 4:14 pm

Darman is correct, here's my first issue that explains a bit about it:

What?! CG resigned? Run away!

But, but why? Anyway, I hope Tac does a good job.

CG resigned! Waaa!

Well good luck with it Tac.

by Guest Sat Mar 27, 2010 5:46 pm

That's a bummer. Good luck Tac!

by eclipsegrafx Thu Apr 01, 2010 6:35 pm

Well I will let you know as well that due to recent developments (TAC007) The Ruling One has quit as well.... There must be a Gazette hex somewhere... Sad

(From the Guild member's Area)

CABG Conquered by Battlestar Galactica Obsessive

Admin Legorevolution accused of perpetrating terrible "April fools" joke

I am quite certain that members were shocked to discover their forum taken over by firstly "bley" and now "Cylons" on April the first.

But what was more surprising is the revelation by a Guild member that it is all due to Legorevolution, an administrator. In the chatbox, one member explained why he thought Legorevolution was behind it all:
"I know it's Revo; he's the only Admin online around this time."

The member is unable to be named because whoever perpetrated this takeover has forcibly prevented the name from appearing. This is possible to do; there is a section of the Admin Control Panel that allows administrators to set certain words to appear instead of others. Commonly used for preventing the use of swearwords, this has been used to prevent the member's name appearing, and now it appears only as "The Ruling One".

The leader of the shadowy organization known as "The Secret Society of Peeps Who've Been Banned from CABG" told The CABG Gazette that this was "the whole problem".

The member, who wished not to be named, explained that the fact that any administrator could take over the forum and change avatars, locations and even names was a ridiculous situation. he said: "In all honesty, Legorevolution, if it is him as you say, should be banned. It's at the top of the Constitution; each member is allowed to have ONE account and ONE account only."

STOP PRESS

Tac007, the new account used by whoever took over the forum, has been banned "by [Rook's] command". The forum was restored a few days later.

The Ruling One eh? Hmm... I mean everyone who has been banned by revo or Rook probably has a "grudge" towards them, so this could be the act of some immature person who I think may have said some thing like this: "OMG I haked CABG! I gunna do sumtin I is gunna regret but I hacked CABG! *n00b spasm* *ROFL*
