Union Suggestions and Discussions Thread

[QUOTE="Balmane"]

Ok dunno where else to post this so I will post this here.

I will not be available till Thursday night GMT time. Me and a couple of friends are doing the Endless Setlist 2 in Rockband 2 which will take up to 7 hours or more. Plus afterwards we are gonna be drinking to celebrate so it would not be a good idea for me too come on :P

angelbless

Well, there is a topic in the CDS Union for that :P. But its ok lol... Have fun! :D

Alright Balmane thanks for lettings u know, and now to Dread...

That looks FANTASTIC! That will most definetly be included in the hall of fame if we are able to decide upon each of the awards if any of them are reached :D

maniamsmart

Agreed! :) Very good idea!

And about STK, Im afraid you are right Sir Auron...ok, done :)

Also I have an update on our union endorsement, the reason why we have not recieved word yet is because all community events and special things are granted/announced on Fridays... such as the FFE was given a level up also on a Friday... so we will find out Friday when the new Community Blog in this section of Gamespot is released. It should be titled Weekly Report or something like that, but it will be Friday.

Thxs for the link :P I wasnt able to find it :cry:.

Ok Banner updated :)

Friday shall be then! :D

Now, I just reread the post, RE-Grand Opening sounds stupid... :P 

Alright, it's 2 AM here in Florida (Eastern Time, U.S)

We should find out about our endorsement hopefully, anywhere from 3 PM-9 PM today... the majority community weekly updates are posted around 4-5 PM. Maybe we will just get Union of the Week, which would give us a level up bonus, but that's still recognition so keep your eyes open in here!(:

Alright well, as I said, I didn't have my hopes up that high.

The latest Community Blog has been posted... did we get endorsed? No. Did we get Union of the Week? No.

I wonder if they even read the PM, I know it is marked as Read, though I don't know 

Well here is what an admin told me:

Union endorsement is picked by admins on a criteria, and basically you need to have been active not for a union endorsement only, but for Gamespot and its community.

So basically what he is saying, we are keeping an eye on you guys.

So yes, maybe ine a month or two we will make it, at least we got their attention.

We have been active for GS and the community so we really deserve endorsement.

I never mentioned our union in that topic, and the admin that responded doesn't even take care of that. Though if we combine what he said, and combine what Synthia did, which was read our PM, then I'm guessing they are watching us 

Or that they aren't and we will have to request it every few months until we get it....Balmane

Agreed :cry:

If you put everything into perspective. The chances of unions getting endorsed probably relies on specific criteria. Uniqueness likely being the main factor.

Since FFE have already earned their badge, the possibility of us receiving one just seems slim. Is there anything special we have that other unions lack?

DreadDLordD

I would have to say no, because we have everything and more than the FFE, including activity and updates :D 

Serious lack of activity..... We gotta do something about it.... Quick!!Balmane

Yeah... where is everybody? :?

It's summer where everyone prefers to play out in the sun. What is there to expect?DreadDLordD

Summer has ended really.... well almost. And also it has been quite active for most of the summer except for the last week.

It came to my mind... could we create a FF -terms-database. More like a compendium of final fantasy words.

I mean we can have a short description of words so that anybody can use at any moment. Also since it will be an open database, anybody will be able to contribute to it, by editing its content. 

What do ytou think? too big? too crazy? :P

We can invest time. But I don't think it'll be possible for that to happen before Countdown commences.

I'll try work on it during Christmas.DreadDLordD

Yep, I was thinking on it more like a mid to long term proposal. Something we can work on for the months (years) to come:)

yeah :P lol.. something like that. The descriptions could be short, not too long like wikipedia, since there already exists finalfantasy.wikia. I was thinking something like this example: 

Abadon: A winged beast with a arachnoid appearance. An enemy from FFI, FFII, FFIV...etc. Uses Demi, Meteor..etc...

Something like that, well it might be too short, but the idea is that anybody could edit it and give a reference without doing an in-depth plot about every referenfe, because too be honest, we wouldnt end :P

Well.. when you put it that way it makes it feel a little ...pointless :cry: lol..

We can give this a thought, the point- I think- is not to have the same content of wiki, rather to create a content of our own. We can borrow descriptions and definitions form other sites, but create our own FF-pedia :)

It's not a bad idea.... for those who don't want to go to wiki, just check here instead.Balmane

Less than 30 days and the caption contest is here! Octiber will be the month! :D

I remember that KC was the first leader
balmane, aka zerroth101, was a charter member
i believe that darmi was also a charter member

i joined 7 days after it formed

History of the union? What for?

Wait is it for some interview? I wanna know!

Sorry, :P it was just an idea that came to my mind, while looking to the SPAM filter and I wrote Albead through PSN so he can tell us a little more :). I was planning to post a thread on CDS yesterday, but I had problems with my internet connection. I will explain it further. there :)
