Forum:Pre-Black Ops II Community Event

So, i've just been thinking that, before Call of Duty: Black Ops II releases, we should try and have another Community Event, since we haven't had one in awhile. It would seem best too make it a Call of Duty: Black Ops event, in my opinion. 19:31, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Haven't had a Community Event since the departure of a loving Admin, but I don't see why not, its not a Tournement. I also have a idea for a Event for the Anniversary of his departure, but honestly I'm not sure how that would turn out. Still I'm for your idea. 20:00, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Support, but needs to be
 * 1) Set up in the war room
 * 2) Have an edit requirement

I think these two will significantly reduce absences. Also, I volunteer to host the PS3 side. (If there is one of course). 20:12, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * The idea is good, but what will the edit requirement be if its required to do the tournament? 20:22, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10 edits (Easy to achieve) 20:36, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong Support/Question - Per Pierogi, a community event with a edit count can be very successful, and the timing would seem perfect. But when would the date be? If we don't have one, I think like November 3, October 27 (Halloween Pre-BOII Event), or October 20. -- 20:41, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good, I might be able to hook up with an Activision community manager to play with us. 20:48, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * o.o Holy shit that would be awesome. But wouldn't that start flames on what system he would go on? 21:01, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well he's on Xbox and he'll be in my group so yeah ;) 21:28, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Strong Support - I was thinking of one the other day. I would do fine with BO. But, per Pierogi, something to avoid absence is mandatory. (By the way: don't make me a leader, I haven't had a huge success the two times I've been one.) --MLGisNot4Me talk 21:08, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Is this going to be a huge waste of time? - There are some problems that we've encountered in every event we've had before, so: -- 21:27, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * How will we prevent/greatly decrease absences?
 * What will we do with groups that don't have a leader?
 * What will we do with groups that don't have enough people who showed up?
 * What will we do for users that are unable to participate because they're group didn't show up and there are no more spaces left in other groups?
 * How many people will we allow?
 * Are there any requirements to sign up?
 * And, again, is this going to be a huge waste of our time?
 * We would need an answer to all of these problems that ensures almost every user will show up and that they'll get to actually participate. I would recommend just having a small party with some people - and if all goes well with that, then maybe we can reconsider having an actual community event.
 * Edit Count or been on wiki for 5 or 3 months
 * We make another leader that is from that group
 * Hmmm
 * They could join another group, it is advised the leaders of the groups should be in Chat or IRC like last time
 * As many people as we can fit, but per number 1 above, Edit Count and on wiki for more then 3 months
 * Per Number 1
 * It shouldn't, something bad would have to happen and as a wiki we won't make that mistake again
 * Hope that helped. -- 23:55, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know - While the events are plenty of fun, there are always plenty of problems that come up. Plus, depending on the day/time it is, I won't be able to show, and I'd hate to miss another event. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 00:43, September 19, 2012 (UTC) Comment - Main issue, school. That's going to have a knock-on effect with people that can make it (even on weekends there's homework taking up time). 07:56, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * That and also the fact the last was a disaster, We'd need to be more organised. Oh and welcome back Sam. 08:02, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Mr n7 has a super idea - What about if we just do one 16 man private match on Xbox and a 16 man private match on PS3? Then we don't have to plan it too much and if one host can't turn up we have a clear back up. 08:39, September 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * oh and p.s the Activision community manager is up for playing with us, he just needs a date. :D! 08:39, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
