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!

This weeks  Gears of War Addicts ”Addict of The Week” is one of our newer members,GWA Four Twenty aka Gears0fWar420. Four Twenty was very active on the website this week, posting in the fourms/ commenting up a storm. He 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. He also got so into the clan this week, he changed his Xbox Live Gamertag from Gears0fWar420 to GWA Four Twenty. Now thats what i call commitment!

Congrats GWA Four Twenty!

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.

This week was a 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 one of our newest members, Ninjaswitch17. Ninja spent alot time playing with us, and was active on the site. He played with XHolySchnikiesX and Me (xXWhodeyXx85) all night this past weekend. He told me when he first joined that he wanted to rank up really bad because he thought that .:Grub:. sounded like he was a magget. Well I can say that he did enough in my book in one week of being a GWA member to earn a  rank up. I would like officially promote Ninjaswitch17 to a .:GWA:. Drone.

Now on to the second “Addict of the Week.” EdieKaye spent a lot of time on the Gears of War Addict website as well as the forums. She won the first GWA word scramble challange, getting the phrases with ease. She has been an awesome member for a long time now and deserves some recognition.

Congrats Ninjaswitch17 & EdieKaye
