Global Trade Station

What is the GTSGL? It's short for the GTS Gaming League, a project I've been thinking up for quite some time. It wasn't always as it is now, but this is the final evolution of it, and I feel ready to unveil it.

Still wondering what exactly it is? It's a group for gamers on the site. Like a clan, but without the formal clan structure. A clan that serves a purpose.

Members of the GTSGL will have the ability to participate in monthly gaming events for prizes and bragging rights. More events may be held if demand is high enough. The specific games to be played and the gametypes to be used in matches will be voted on by members before each Game Day. Basically, this is a chance to win prizes, show off your skills, and have fun. It's really a win-win situation for those of us with game systems that are connected online.

For now, however, this is basically here for members to sign up. I'm too busy at the moment to hold the events (at least for the 360, as that is what I'll be coordinating), but within a few weeks I should be ready to hold the first event for the 360 owners. For now, you can reply here to sign up as either a member or a coordinator for any of the other systems. If you want to be a member, all you need to post is a list of your systems, games you own that are multiplayer capable, and any account names that you use for gaming online. If you wish to be a coordinator, post the same but include the position you want, but be warned that I will be extensively researching you before I give the position. As a coordinator, you will be responsible for organizing the monthly events for your assigned platform, which includes prizes and taking care of troublemakers.

And lastly, some basic rules to follow. More may be added in the future:

Rules for membership:

~Any member may join the GTSGL. However, we reserve the right to turn you down based on behavior.
~The leaders of the group (the people who are handling the specific gaming platforms) have the right to remove any member from the GTSGL based on behavior around the forums, infraction levels, and behavior during events, after consulting the entire group of leaders.
~If you are removed from the group entirely, you must wait two months before requesting to rejoin.

Rules for events:

~We will follow a "Three Strike" system. Once you accumulate three strikes, you will be removed from the event that is occurring at that very moment by the host, and depending on the severity of the offenses, you may be banned from participating in a certain number of future events. The following actions are not allowed and will result in strikes:

• Excessive trash talking, insulting other players, swearing, and using racist language. If you intend to make use of a headset, use it in a mature manner. Any of these actions will earn you a strike, except for the use of racist language. If you are heard using a racist term, you will be immediately ejected, no excuses.
• "Backstabbing"/Friendly Fire. If you're going to play on a team, respect the team. Do not suddenly decide that you hate a member of your team and you're suddenly going to start killing them instead of the opposing team members.
  

~Only GTSGL members are allowed in the games, unless it is decided that the group is going to hop into larger games with the public. However, only gamers who are officially registered with the GTSGL are eligible for prizes.
~Members may not participate in events if they have more than a 20% infraction level.

This sounds very interesting and fun for that matter. Go Wii! (Me join for Wii)

This sounds very cool! I'll join for the PS3!

It will be a cool thing provided we can get enough members into each platform. The idea is to keep all online matches as private, so we have control over everything, but for that, we'll need a fair number of members. So let's spread it around the site, people!

Yes I agree. Don't forget that the Wii is for me.

Hmm, I would like to be a Wii Coordinator, where do I sign?

By posting, you have signed up. I'll let you know if you get the spot.

For anyone else signing up for a Coordinator/Leader spot, be aware that you may not necessarily get the spot. Also, be aware that you will be given much responsibility. You will be responsible for making sure people follow the rules, that the Game Days run smoothly, and you will also be responsible for prizes. Obviously prizes don't have to be major, they are up to your discretion.

Id like to sign up for wii coordinator
id also like to sign up please
if Crazykid gets the spot that is fine as well
good luck with this Lockon

Shouldn't the rule of having that certain game system as well as online privelages to that system be added as well? Since there is no point in being in it if you can't participate.

Having the system is absolutely a requirement, but I assumed that it would be obvious. Prizes are only given out to the top players each Game Day, with runner up prizes for other achievements such as Craziest Frag and such, so anyone not participating would be unable to claim any prizes.
