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!

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.

We have split up into 2 teams for the “Gamebattles Summer Season.” Gizmoh asked if he could lead a team and we(the Chairmen) gave him the authority to lead his own team. So the lists below are how the teams have been set-up. The teams are separated by Gizmoh’s request of his team members/Who has told me(PWNiSH3R) that they wanted to be on a GWA Gamebattles team so far.

Teams are subject to change before July 1st. Teams will be FINAL July 1st. If you have not told one the Chairmen that you want to be on a team, please do so(there is no obligation ) by either A.) Messaging me (PWNiSH3R) on Xbox Live. B.) Posting a comment to this article saying that you want to be aprt of a GWA GameBattles team. If you need help setting up a GameBattles profile. I will be glad to help and there is a link to GB help at the bottom of this article. Final rosters as of 07/01/09.

GameBattles Help

Winner will be determined Sometime today.. (if Hughes03 picks one)

Update from Hughes03: I’m having trouble deciding because there are a lot of good ones. I’ve narrowed in and will make my decision soon

For the Challenge we have decided to do somthing a little different. Hughes03 has been struggling to come up with a new name with the xGWAx Clan tag next ot his name. So we thought.. why not make a challenge out of it and see what the other addicts can come up with it.

The maximum charactors for a xbox live GT is 15 minus the 5 for xGWAx and 6 for the space between words so that leaves us with a 9 letter word. It is a pretty straightforward challenge pick the name that Hughes03 likes best and you win. Hughes03 may or may not end up choosing a name that someone comes up with, but if he does then they will be declared the winner! What do you get with a win you say… Well of course a RANK UP!

The Rules:

• Maximum 9 charactors long
• Something you could actually put on Xbox Live
• Have fun with it(Hey.. he might like it)
• Post a comment to this post with your GT ideas!(can be as many as you want)
• If the gamertag has already been posted by a fellow clan member, please do not post it
• Try to make the GT ideas in “List Form” so it is easier to read
• Challenge will close at 12:01 AM EST on Sunday June 28th
