Join the Afterdawn Fight Club / Achievement Gamerscore challenge competition

Alright so this is how it works. Some of you may already be familiar with the site http://360voice.gamerdna.com/ for those that arent here is a quick description: 360voice is a leading online community for the Xbox 360 with a twist. Using unique technology, the data from your Xbox Live gamercard is transformed from a snapshot into a rich history of your gaming, told in blog format from the perspective of your Xbox. This allows for conversations around specific daily achievements and events like gamer score increases and your most played games. In addition to the blog content, users can interact by leaving comments, compete in gamer score challenges, and gather badges for various site and cross-game accomplishments

so you signup for free and doesnt take long at all and then after about 3 days your 360 will start posting blogs on its own. Here is mine http://360voice.gamerdna.com/tag/Random Hero42o i signed up 2 days ago exactly, you can see i posted a few blogs manually cause i was bored and then you can see the first blog my 360 made which kinda freaked me out lol since i was commenting on how i wanted it to wake up and then it did so just before i posted that entry. so that part is very interesting, but here is something even more cool: CHALLENGES

Anyone can create a challenge which is based on gamerscore/achievements. The winner is determined by change in gamerscore/achievements over the course of the challenge which can be set to a few days or a month whatever you want basically. here is the rules and info on it http://360voice.gamerdna.com/challenge-rules.asp much easier to read there than have me rehash it all.

So I would like to start a weekly challenge to start with and post it here so anyone from these boards can participate. IF enough interest is shown we can make it a weekly thing or monthly. However one person can only participate in one challenge at a time so keep that in mind. We can start with a week long challenge and move on to a month long one.
So all those interested please reply, if you have not signed up for the 360 voice blog then do so now so when we start the first challenge your account will be completely active by then.

I figured we could discuss this here for a bit and then setup the first challenge and not start it for a few days to maybe a week that way everyone has time to signup for it and then when we have enough ppl signed up i will launch the challenge on a sunday night or something like that.

and of course the name of our challenge would be "Afterdawn Fight Club"

ps Fight club is one of my all time favorite movies...

EDIT: NOTICE when the site asks you for a password it is not asking for your gamertag password but just a password for account on the site so you can login. there is no worry of personal info being stolen or shared.

 

The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. The third rule of fight club is, if this is your first day, you have to fight.

now that i got that out of my system, I guess i can actually respond to you. This is a pretty good idea, i like the idea of the 360 taking its gamerscore and updates and blogging about them. I think the idea of challenges are pretty cool too. now if only we could get some sponsors and some prizes!!! Lol but i would be more than willing to participate in this.

 

so random question, when you sign up, and it asks for your gamertag and password, is it asking for your gamertag's password, or just a password to use?

 

you put in what your password to the site is going to be.

 

lol yea sponsors and prizes would be awesome but i think just for fun is enough for now lol.

but yea if we get enuff support maybe we can start the first challenge as early as this sunday, that will give 3-4 days to signup.

 

password for the site, i was worried at first also. at no time will it ever ask you for your gamertag password. I wouldnt have signed up or suggested this if that was the case.

 

Bump...is anyone else interested in doing this?

 

looking into it now.

EDIT: I Signed Up

http://360voice.gamerdna.com/blog.asp?tag=xx homesick xx

 

Alright i added you to my watch list. if anyone else signs up link here like homesick did and we can add eachother. they have a site badge that u can earn for getting 10 people to watch your blog. the badges are kinda like achievements for that site.

Ive decided i want to go ahead and do this even if only 3-4 of us go for it we will still have fun.

Maybe each challenege can be stickied for the time it is active and then removed after it ends? creaky(or other mods) if you read this can you provide input please?

So im thinking for the first challenege we will do a week long one to start. any suggestions?

 

i don't mod my 360 or anything but hell i'll join for shiz and gigz

Awesome. i see you have had a 360 blog for awhile now already.
I am gonna start an afterdawn group also sometime today. At work now so tryin to finish up some build documents and after that i will form the group and challenge.

 

yeah, i just don't connect to live alot during the weeks, cuz of work so i have big voids, and when playing Singleplayer stuff like fallout i hate getting 30 requests for COD:WAW or GoW / GoW2

 

LOL yea i know what u mean. I try not to send someone an invite for a game unless they are playing that game at the time. otherwise i see it as interupting them pretty much. now i am thinking i should setup this challenge soon so we can make use of weekend gaming. damn i need more time in the days lol i am gonna try to do all this when i get back from lunch

 

Ok everyone sorry I never got around to doing this when I said I would previously. My Gold account expired but I just renewed.

I have setup a group for afterdawn at
http://360voice.gamerdna.com/group/1022 the code to join is: afterdawn
Lets try to keep the group just for afterdawn members.

I have also setup out first challenge!
http://www.360voice.com/join/Y4TVG4MR the code to join is: Y4TVG4MR
Challenges will be welcome to inviting your friends unless otherwise indicated when the challenge is posted.

This challenge is set for duration of 2 weeks. I thought that would be best so we could get at least one weekend in there to make it fair for those that cannot play as much during the week. I cannot launch the challenge until at least 2 others are signed up. Depending on how fast and how many people we get will decide when the challenge is launched. so the more people that signup the sooner I will launch the challenge.

If you want to include your friends that is ok so feel free to pass the challenge and pass code along, but please do not ask your friends to join the afterdawn group unless they actually use the site.

To ensure you get any email alerts related to the challenge please add mail@360voice.com as a safe address so it will not be spam blocked by your email client.

If you have not signed up or do not know what I am speaking of please refer to the first post in this thread for all info on how to join.

 

be prepared to go down!!!!!!!!!


i joined the group and your challenge. just know that I have so many games that i have zero gamerscore on. i really wonder why my gamerscore is under 10k when I have like 30 games and I only play like 6 of them.

 

oh i have 50 on disc and only like 6 i play regularly so

 

yeah, i have so many on my 500gig external drive that i havent even burned yet lol. i need to burn eat lead, i want to actually try that out. i have to take my 360 apart though i have a piece of tape rattling in my fan so i havent played much lately.

 

i know what you mean, i was just thinking the samething yesterday and i counted 8 i havent burned yet. But i have no discs and no funds for another week

 

Come on people more than just a few have to be interested in getting their butts kicked.

BUMP

 

alright i will be starting the challenge tomorrow no matter how many people are signed up. I asked to get this sticked so maybe we can get more attention and people involved but i was told that it isnt relevent nor does it seem that enough people are interested in it for it to be stickied.
Looks like it might just be you and I mike lol EDIT: we need a total of 3 people to start it lol so umm can one other person signup even if you arent going to try to compete. looks like i will be joining random challenges after this failure.
