    I have a proposition for the community. I wasn't sure if this had been attempted before, but why not try a Forge-A-Thon.
    Basically, I would create a new GT, upon which I'll leave on for a period of 24 hours. Forgers can come and go as they please adding as much as or as little as they want. They can add new things, create boundaries, make some things interlocked, add spawns, weapon placements or whatever. After the 24 hours I'll save it and post it and see what we as the community came up with. What do you guys think?

    EDIT: If interested, please send me a PM with your time availability and GT so I can organize this.

    sounds really neat, but what would you do about the people who delete everything or whatever?

    Lol after you come back to it the map will be blank and the title will probably be something phallic.

    That's true. I had thought of this, and the way to counteract it is simply to register through me. Only pre-qualified people will get the name. The only way to be pre qualified is to have previously made a map and submitted it on FH. Then, we set the xbox live setting to friends only. Then, if someone does something they shouldn't, we have their username, and it's -rep from me and or whoever else that participated that feels like giving -rep to that person. What do you think?

    It's not serious, so it would be a good idea, regardless of the chance that someone will delete it all.

    That sounds damn fun! But if you can only have a maximum of 32 (I think its 32) rounds, and people are all over the place interlocking or whatnot, its likely gonna run out fastand end the game.

    That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that. Although, I don't think that would be a huge deal, because as the party leader kept being passed around from even if the game ended, everyone would still be in the lobby and you could start it up again. If that doesnt work maybe instead, we gather a group of lets say, ten guys, and do it all at once, that way you can synchronize new rounds and everything.

    the risk of leaving a 360 on for 24 hours straight is insane. lol but it seems like an awesome idea

    I'm thinking about getting a new one anyway, I've had my current one since launch.

    It seems enough people are interested, so lets say, contact me via private message with your best availability times and gt, and I'll organize a time that's good for whoever wants to be involved.

    I would probably do it. Send me a PM (here or on XBL) if you do decide to go through with it.

    It'll be an invite only thing, so that way there's a record of whose doing it so if someone does try to screw with it, we know who and -rep will come.

    The interlocking might be difficult, so everyone will need to synchronize when the new rounds so that way everyone gets done what they need.
