An idea occurred to me as I was playing a game online earlier this evening. I think it would be a really good idea if this site implemented a gaming section. This section would start off without any games, and then people could propose games. Each game that was proposed would have a poll, and if the poll received at least five (or perhaps three?) "Yes" votes, then we'd create a section for that game.

In that section, we could discuss it (strategies, plot points, etc.) and also arrange to have online games together. We'd arrange who would start the server, the IP address, password, etc. and all try to arrange times that the people on the site who had that game could get together to play it.

I think this could be a really good, really fun idea for a site improvement. But of course, that's just me. What does everyone else think about that?

Danny, that is an amazing idea, and one i am definatley voting for. Putting games in would be great. We would have more reasons to go on, we could have more fun, test our gaming skills out against each other. it would be a chance to get to know each other and have more activity. Well done Danny, I am quite happy you came up with this idea. I am for it. 100%

Thanks for your support, Chris. As soon as we get it up and running, I'm sure it will be tremendous fun. We can choose games to add that we all play all the time, except now we can play them together. I think it would be great fun!

Yeah, you have came up with a brilliant, yet simple idea

Ross Hendrie · #5 November 7, 2005, 1:27 PM

Yeah sounds good. Im for it.

Danny Stewart · #6 November 7, 2005, 3:00 PM

Thanks for your support, Ross. Any more yes votes, or perhaps some naysayers?

Chris Britton · #7 November 11, 2005, 10:03 AM

No, i am for this

Danny Stewart · #8 November 11, 2005, 1:17 PM

Alright. Then perhaps we should move forward on it. I wonder what Max thinks.

Ross Hendrie · #9 November 11, 2005, 3:41 PM

lol He'll probably suggest Rogue Squadron or Galactic Battlegrounds or something lol.

EDIT: Edited Danny, im not letting you away with that one

Galactica Battlegrounds? I'm up for that.

Ross Hendrie · #11 November 12, 2005, 7:59 AM

Ive edited it lol. I was meaning Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.

Fine, if you're going to be sneaky, I'm going to be double sneaky. See my original post!

Hey, anybody remember this idea? Nothing ever happened with it. You think maybe it would be a good idea (still)? I'm willing to put in a gaming forum in here if people would use it. What kinds of games do you people play?

Ross Hendrie · #14 September 24, 2006, 12:54 PM

Well everyone should list what games they have that have good online stuff and then we can discuss.

Chris Britton · #15 September 24, 2006, 12:56 PM

Can't we find an online Version of Bomberman?

Danny Stewart · #16 September 24, 2006, 1:18 PM

Probably, but I'm talking more about first-person shooters and stuff that we can play with multiplayer over the internet.

Chris Britton · #17 September 24, 2006, 1:21 PM

Lets avoid Counter Strike though

Danny Stewart · #18 September 24, 2006, 1:23 PM

Hey, I like Counter-Strike!

Chris Britton · #19 September 24, 2006, 1:29 PM

i hope you don;t smash up your keyboard when you get 0wn3ed by n00bs

Danny Stewart · #20 September 24, 2006, 1:37 PM

lol. I play mostly against bots -- rarely online. The people who play CS online are usually nuts.
