This week was another difficult week in choosing the Gears of War Addicts “Addict of The Week.”  We decided to choose two members who deserve some recognition. The first Gears of War Addicts ”Addict of The Week” is none other than the SpeedDemon himself,xGWAx Demon aka xXSpeedDemon1Xx. xGWAx Demon played with Me (PWNiSH3R) and a bunch of the other clan members a lot this week. Everytime I was on he was either in a party with some of the other clan members or in a party with us Chairman. He also changed his Gamertag to “Rep the GWA.”

Now on to the second “Addict of the Week.” Sneezy (Gesundheit) aka SneezyJordan played Gears of War 2 among other games with us pretty much everyday this week. Even when he was lagging on COD 5, he would still play with us. Even when he wasn’t playing with us, he would still sit in the party and socialize or something. He did so awesome this week he even ranked up from a Grub to a Drone.

Congrats xGWAx Demon & SneezyJordan!

How do you become the member of the week?

Each week on Sunday, the chairmen of Gears of War Addict will get together and decide who should be our member of the week. We’ll base our decision on all sorts of things such as, who was most active on the website, who played the most, most improved, sportsmanship, among other things. If you have someone you’d like to nominate, leave a message on the forum or send any of us a message on Xbox Live saying who you’d like to nominate and why. These nominations will be taken into account when we are making the decision.

WOW!! Thats about the only word that can decribe this tournament.. Boy was it awesome.. Everything ran fairly smoothly. We had the championship live on the GWA website.. It was a good match for sure.. Beatdown barley beat KAMiKAZE 3-2. However Beatdown could not get past our first chairman (Lockdown) So he is just the “Champ” not the “Grand Champ”.. I would like to say thank you to all the particiapated.. and congrats to our Champion xGWAx Beatdown.. Enjoy them points(Dont spend it all in one place)

For this tournament we will have a 1v1 Singe Elmination style tournament. The Chairman will sit out,and the rest of you will duke it out. Once someone has defeated everyone, they are pronounced Champion. BUT! Thats not the end. After that, the “Champ” goes through 1 vs. 1 with the Chairman. And if they can beat us they are named Grand Champion. Grand Championship will be streaming live on the GWA Website. xGWAx Lockdown will be taking the place of Hughes03 for this tournament(Hughes03 will be on vacation) Being disrespectful, mean, offensive, etc. to any clan member, will result in a DQ for you. Remember this is all in good fun, and please try not to take it too seriously.

What’s the prize? The winner of this tournament will recieve a code for 1600 MS Points.. just in time for the “All Fronts Collection“(Grand Champion is just for fun)

Each game will be hosted and refereed by a Gears of War Addicts Chairman or General. The hosting Chairman or General will be on the locust team and will play as the white locust. The official will stay out of the way and do his best not to be a distraction. If you kill the official you will automatically lose all 3 rounds unless the official determines it was his own fault. One stalemate per match will be allowed. In the event of 2 stalemates, the hosting Chairman or General will determine if one player was purposely forcing a stalemate and award the opposite player the winner. In the event of 2 stalemates and neither player is at fault, the hosting Chairman or General will flip a coin to determine the winner.

If for some reason the person you are matched up with doesn’t show up you will be awarded an automatic win and advance in the tournament. The decisions of the Gears of War Addicts Chairmen & Generals are final and non-disputable.

This weeks  Gears of War Addicts ”Addict of The Week” is two of our best members,xGWAx KAMiKAZE and Gizmoh.They both deserve to be player of the week for being bad ass clan members as well as awesome guys.

First lets start with KAMiKAZE. KAMiKAZE played with Me (PWNiSH3R) and a bunch of the other clan member a lot this week. Everytime I was on he was either in a party with some of the other clan members or in a party with us Chairman. We played all sorts of games.. not just Gears. We played L4D, COD as well as a few others. KAMiKAZE changed his name this week to rep the GWA. He has been one of our best clan members for a long time, and for that I promoted him as our very first Co-Chairman.

Second on the list xGWAx LockDown aka Gizmoh. LockDown has been one our best clan members for a while now as well. He writes all of those amazing guides for Gears of War 2  Although I didnt play with him much this week.. (With the exception of Friday night) I have been txting him. I got to know him alot this week, and I can say that he is a pretty cool guy. xGWAx LockDown changed his name this week as well to ’rep the GWA” and for that he is our very first .:GWA:. General. Just like KAMiKAZE I promoted LockDown to CO-Chairman as well because of his great leadership and dedication to the clan…

The Co-Chaiman have all of the powers the the “Chairman” have, but the ”Chairman” have the Final say So basically if one of the Chairmen are not on and you need somthing answered or whatever the case may be ask these guys. These guys are our “Second in command.“ Thanks for being great clan members.

Congrats xGWAx KAMiKAZE, and xGWAx LockDown!
