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

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.

For this weeks Gears of War Addicts ”Addict of The Week”, we chose one of our best members, TheOnlyJewLion aka xNNx Fury. This makes him a two time Addict of The Week. Why did we pick TheOnlyJewLion? First off, he’s been very active on the website. He played with Me(xXWhoDeyXx85) and XHolySchnikiesX pretty much everyday. Even when he wasn’t playing, he would still sit in the party and socialize or something. We had a ton of fun playing this week. He has been a truely awsome member for a very long time now and for that I would like to promote TheOnlyJewLion to a .:GWA:. Private.

Congrats TheOnlyJewLion!

Gears of War Addicts would like to start getting into GameBattles. For those of you who aren’t familiar with GameBattles, this is basically a match against another team or clan, organized and tracked on and through the GameBattles website. We’re allowing ALL of our members to participate in these GameBattles, the only thing we ask and require is that you leave a comment to this post stating that you would like to play. We have 13 spots available so there’s more than enough room for everyone. We plan to simply rotate the players once we get the final number of members that want to participate.

This Saturday, May 30th, 2009, will be our unofficial GameBattles scrimmage / training session. Hopefully Gizmoh and iTz CoNd3mNeD will be around to help out with this. These two are our very own GameBattles experts, check out their GameBattles profile, so if you have any questions about how it works, ask them, they know best (the forum is a good place to do this).

For this week’s Gears of War Addicts Member of The Week, we chose one of our newest members, DinoKiller999. Why did we pick DinoKiller999? There are a few reasons. First off, he’s been extremely active on the website. He also suggested this week’s clan game night which turned out to be a lot of fun! DinoKiller999 has been a great member right from the start. He did well enough this week to even earn a rank up from a Drone to a Lambent Drone.

Congrats DinoKiller999,You deserve it!

XxWhoDeyxX85, XHolySchnikiesX, and myself (Hughes03) decided that we should start having a member of the week. Each week on Sunday, the 3 of us (the chairmen) 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, 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. We will be adding some sort of marker on the members page to show how many times you’ve been chosen as the Gears of War Addict Member of The Week but we haven’t quite decided on that yet. Stay tuned…Anyway, on to our first pick…

Our first Gears of War Addict Member of The Week is SnugTasslehoff. Snug was pretty impressive this week. Snug spent a lot of time playing in general and with all of the clan members. After coming in third a week ago in our first Gears of War Addict tournament, Snug played enough to be in the top 500 on annex on Gears of War 2. Snug is a great player and I look forward to pwning more n00bs with him in the near future. Congrats SnugTasslehoff!
