[QUOTE="Link2025"][QUOTE="Calpalg"]we could have... Inter-Union Quizzes! pretty hard to organise, granted, and i'm not sure how it'd work but it can be discussed nonetheless.Calpalg
I think the question would be, Is it worth the effort? That would be very complicated in general especially how Gamespot's forum design is.
it would be interesting to try though would it not? if it was a joint effort...As with any game or joint union ideas or what have you, first I think you should ask yourself how feasible your idea is. If your constantly doubting whether or not it could done, chances are it won't. Like Snap said, there are few successful Zelda related Unions which just makes things harder.
I think a more general rule here that you should all remember is "The more complicated things become, the higher the risk of anything going wrong" All it would take is for one side to not keep up the effort and then everything kind of crumbles after that.
We also have to ask ourselves, "How would this benefit the Union?" Sometimes certain ideas don't do they? Sometimes it's just for fun.

that reminds if an "Inter Union Tourny" that was supposed to happen (it was a wi-fi tourny) hyped for months from the participating unions but they ended it before the first round because it was a hassle, while this isn' as complicated as a wi-fi tourny i still think it could have the same result.Here's a suggestion. Get this thread a tab to put on the homepage :DKira-Shinobionce Nuck sees this it wouldn't surprise me if he does. A mention in the LoZU Essentials thread will probably happen too.

lol, well i can see you stickied it :P you couldn't add anything to the homepage though which is why I said Nuck, i never specificlly said Nuck would put it in the Essentials thread ;)(add on to my last post) I'm just thinking and before the Officer Comp. began there we're only two stickies and they we're basically threads for organization/viewing purposes. If the intro. thread isn't even stickied then shouldn't this probably stay un-stickied?OhhSnap50893
Once the Officer Comp. is over, we will put back up the necessary topics. It's fine as it is.

Your opinion is higher than mine. No, everyone's opinion is equal. It's just he has more authority and that some people have stupid opinions. :lol:I read it all. As I kept reading more pages appeared when I clicked Next Page and I was afraid I would never finish :p. This is a sweet idea. I did actually see it in another union and thought of it, just never got up to doing it. I removed the stickies to make the application easier to be seen. As for Nintendo related news, we do report on huge news that will affect Zelda. We had a TGS report, but we should keep it Zelda related otherwise we'd become a Nintendo Union. Knowing that IBM is making a 90nm CPU instead of 180nm doesn't really make a difference. Finding out next week that Wii is coming november 5th for $229, is Zelda related enough :)nuck44
Is that a prediction of yours or something?

Yeah just a guess. I'm not Matt :PI have an interesting suggestion. It could be something that's monthly or bi-weekly or even weekly. It's a feature I like to call Possibilities. It's where a scenerio is given and then the members of the union have a chance to discuss it. Here's an example.
Possibilities: A Gannondorf Game.
What if Link's long time rival Gannondorf had his own game, with his own perspective of the happenings of Hyrule?
Other questions can follow but overall it's a discussion based topic where it's meant to see the creative minds of our members go to work as they discuss and somewhat create their own storyline for, in this case, a Gannondorf Game. Even the idea of it happening can be a topic of discussion. Where pros and cons of it happening are weighed out and even the genre of the game.
That sounds pretty interesting. Would this be in the board or on the front page?nuck44It will have to be in the board. There is absolutely no way this can work on the homepage.

I also should mention that these "possibilities" can also be done on in game story twisting. Like a specific event not occuring or another that was changed and overall changing the story.

Yeah just a guess. I'm not Matt :P I'd say that's definately important enough to be on the homepage because it would make the TP release date on that day too ;)Awesome. Also, what is the policy on posting guide things that we've made like a look at Link's Weaponry or something?Master_OdinI would think that it's perfectly fine to post on the board, i'm not sure about on the homepage though (an officer would need to do that though ... or Nuck :P)

It would most likely go into the guide seciton of the union.
It would definitely be appropriate on the front page as well. We've had enemy guides and things of that sort :)nuck44I think I remember one of those .... And one suggestion I have is a more vast art directory. I kow we have a list of union tags but I was thinking more along the lines of avatars, banners (any that have been made/used before could be added too), sigs (not tags, normal sized signatures), possibly Desktop Wallpapers, just plain images (maybe around 200x200 or something). Just a suggestion :). I would be more than happy to contribute to the making of artwork.
I know a good place where I can get some official pieces of artwork. Do you think I could share them?Kira-ShinobiDo you mean gaming artwork? I assume that would be fine but it's not quite what I was talking about ...

I wonder if I should make a thread and have all of the pieces that I have inside it. Would that be the best way or is there somewhere where they could go?
Well, I uploaded some TP art, you can get there from the home page. I like the graphics ideas as well. Let's make LoZU wallpapers :Pnuck44I've seen the TP artwork you had, looks cool. The whole "nuckspot" thing though is part of google right? if so do you just have to sign up?

Alrighty OhhSnap. :)Kira-ShinobiI'd prefer it if you just call me Snap, it's easier and sounds less like something you would call someone older than you (like calling i game named Matt, Matthew, same basic idea ;))
