I Have A Proposition For You...

Have you ever had a game of Natural Selection or Counter-Strike, where the entire team was coordinated, you all performed brilliantly, with pockets of action all over the map, a battle that ebbed and flowed for ages, with one side eventually emerging victorious?

Ever been involved in a game of Neverwinter Nights with your party being thrown into perilous quests, with surprises round every turn, with a hundred heroic acts juxtaposed by a hundred cowardices? Where the game actually followed an exciting story?

Involved in an MMORPG like SW:Galaxies or Everquest, and want to tell the tale of how you struggled up through the world, fought against adversity, made friends and enemies along the way, to accomplish something in these alternate worlds?

Even a story of normal life in an MMORPG, with relationships you have formed in the game, the things you do to make the odd gold piece or credit.

Ever wanted to tell people how you took your Warcraft III or Ground Control army, and fought against impossible odds to come out of the other side victorious with your flag held high?

Well here comes your chance.

I came up with the idea of setting up a website where people can submit written accounts of different events/battles/stories that they have been involved in, covering a wide variety of games. Anything from frontline reports from Battlefield 1942, to simple "Day in the life of..." stories from people in MMORPG's.

I ask from you a couple of things.

1/ Post here if you think this would be a valuable addition to the gaming community, and would be willing to participate and submit articles.

2/ Spread the word and get as many submissions as possible to get the site off the ground.

Anyone who wants to get in touch can email me  xenobyte0@hotmail.com

Thank you for your time

    I guess you would love to hear my story of how I singly handedly defeated a cheater in C&C Generals in an epic 3 hour battle or I could upload the replay file.

    also... you should make it possible to upload some screenshots from the event / day / what ever... so it would be like a picture-book <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If yuo do the site then make sure that you can host demo's, pictures, comics etc too as people like to tell their stories in different ways.

    Sounds like a good idea for a site though and something a lot of people might visit if its done well.
