Gunslingers Newsletter, Week of Jan. 30th, 2014

It has been awhile since we have shared a newsletter-style update in this recruiting thread. Let's change that! This installment will focus on highlights ripped directly from our
Gunslinger Gazette, the blog where we publish community-minded updates and spotlights just for our fellow Gunslinger members.

Member Spotlight - Recently, we have sat down and taken the time to learn more about our long time GS friend,
VykkDraygo. He originally was active in the clan way back 2008/2009, but has returned in full force by the end of 2013. Find out what he has been up to in the meantime, his Superbowl predictions, and his thoughts on how the Gunslingers have grown in
the last few years!

The Gunslingers Group is Over 8,000 Members Strong; Friend Usergroups to the Rescue! - We are starting off 2014 with over 8,000 fellow older gamers as Gunslinger
members, and we show no sign of slowing down! As awesome as that collective feat is, we aren't about the numbers. We are about getting mature, casual gamers the gaming experience they so desire. That is why the Gunslingers are increasing our efforts to get
new members in-game with the rest of the clan. Thus, the Gunslingers Friend Usergroups are born! Now, any member who adds themselves to an usergroup that best reflects their category of gaming wants, will be sent notifications every ten days outlining
all the newest members who have added themselves to Master Lists that are of those categories. When we say, 'More the merrier!," we meant it.

Gunslinger Games Awards Poll Close Soon; Game of the Year Category Added! - Existing and potential Gunslinger members alike, you only have one more day to
cast your votes in twenty-one different Gunslinger Games Awards polls. It is an annual tradition at GS for members to come together and vote on their favorite games. Based on the votes already coming in these categories, a "Game of the Year" poll has
been added. Be heard before it is too late! An article style awards show will be published in the Gunslinger Gazette in February.

Gunslingers Voice Chat Server - In case you missed it, Gunslingers has a registered Ventrilo voice chat server for any of our members who find other options, such as Skype,
too resource heavy while gaming.

New Podcast Episode Published! - The Gunslinger Gaming Podcast returns with another episode last week. This episode, the ninth such episode, features Filoofo,
Dunkaroo, Freddy, Tick, and McMurphy. We discuss the Best Sellers of 2013 among other recent gaming news. The podcast is available as a local download, on iTunes, and via Podomatic. You can even subscribe to our own custom made RSS feed just for the podcast!

B-B-Bulletholes! - Every year that a Gunslinger is a member of the clan, they are given a bullet hole attached to the GunslingerGaming Forum account. As part of the celebration
for the most active members receiving such an anniversary marker, we give them a very public shout-out on a monthly basis in the Gunslinger Gazette!

Thank you for taking the time to read this edition of the Gunslingers Newsletter. These are only examples of the vast amount of activity taking place within the Gunslingers clan, and you are invited to join in on the fun. If you are parent and/or adult gamer
looking for a group that focuses on keeping one's gaming experience fun, casual, and always within your own time restraints, you will find no clan more dedicated to that goal than the Gunslingers.

The 2014 Winter Olympics are over. I don't know about the rest of you, but I was glued to the television (or internet feeds) during the entire event. Just like living it up in game, the Gunslingers forums and chats were full of GS members from Finland,
Australia, Norway, Denmark, United States, Canada, Scotland, England, and several other regions of the globe discussing the Olympics. Amazingly enough, it done with good cheer, mutual respect, and laughter.



Case in point: During the hours of a particular Frosty Pints (i.e.: the community-wide celebration of the weekend with drinks and online matches), GS*Sosyc posted the following animated image in the
forums:

And that is what a gaming clan should be about. Good times. Leave the competitive drama and stat boosting for the other groups. Rather, it is about having fun on your own terms and on your own schedule. It is about laughing. It is about
comradery between friends, new and old, regardless of what nation you hail from.

You turned in your time sheet and snuck out of the office early. That can only mean one thing...

...IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sure happy to be able to kick back and relax. With the Gunslingers, it also means something else.
FROSTY PINTS!

Crack open your favorite brew, stop by the
GS* Chats and connect with fellow members for some drunken gaming fun. Going strong since 2008, Frosty Pints is a particularly great time for new members to meet other Gunslingers and to swap game contacts. Read more information on our weekend tradition
here:
http://www.gunslingergaming.com/html/frostypints.html

This round of Frosty Pints is a particularly noteworthy one.

First, we are debuting our forum section dedicated to such weekend hi-jinx. This is where members can post Meet & Greet get-togethers and other social ventures to help new and old members party together.

Second, we are poking some good natured fun with long time member and GS* Leader, MikeLaird. GS*Beagles, out of a random whim, opted to change his avatar to a
Magnum PI era photo of Tom Selleck. MikeLaird gave him some playful ribbing for it, so, naturally, the whole affair has snowballed into a community-wide effort to swap regular avatars for ridiculous 1980s icons.

Leave the Stat calculating to other groups, and come join the clan that just wants to have some fun!

Love the amount of different ideas coming out of the group. Newsletters, podcasts, active forums, game news updates, etc... pretty amazing!

 

In case you are wondering how you could possibly know for sure if we are the type of Xbox One gamers you would like to plunder with, we have a "highly scientific" method for that. Take a look at the following image:

Phew! I have been busy! Aside from swinging full-time work and a full-time schedule of night classes, I was on host duty for visiting relatives. Isn't being an adult fun?

That is exactly why the Gunslingers exist: to give fellow busy adults a gaming group that can fully appreciate your need to decompress at the end of a busy schedule and just have some simple fun. Trust me, you aren't alone.

In just the first two weeks of April, the overall Gunslingers clan has welcomed
96 new members to its ranks. Nearly all of them have already posted an Introduction and/or shared a gaming contact with the rest of us. That is fantastic!

Membership is not a number game. We aren't successful because we have a lot of members. We have a lot of members
because we are successful at what we do. And, what we do is respect the fellow mature, casual gamer and their desire to avoid silly probation periods, regiment ranks, or overarching drama.

Grab your pick of poison. Grab a controller. Game with us. It is that easy. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just wasting your time.

As an adult gamer who has tried a few of the other adult gaming clans I find Gunslingers to be the most open and welcoming of the groups out there. Other groups are very clique-y and seem to have an exclusive hierarchy while all of the people I have met
so far in Gunslingers have been welcoming and helpful at getting groups together for games. I and many others in the group play a variety of games and have no overt or covert policy on skill level or amount of time needed to commit. This really is a great
group full of people just looking to play games together just for the fun and camaraderie of it. There are players from various countries and timezones so finding a game should be easy regardless of where you live.

Sometimes, clans get a bad rap, but only when they aren't operated correctly. When done right, clans can be so much more than merely entering the same in-game match with a handful of other people who just so happen sport the same tags as you. It should be
about actually forming friendships and making a session of gaming a much more fun experience, particularly after a hard day's work. The following updates within our group reflect how the Gunslingers is an experience rather than simply a namesake.

Retro Top Ten Event! Have you noticed that so-called "authorities" to gaming such as IGN, Gamespot, and Youtube personalities love to tell the rest of us what were the top ten games of a specific time period?
If you are like the rest of us, you often click away thinking, "That guy sounds like he is just out of high school. What could HE possibly know about the Original Nintendo or Atari?" It is about time that the largest clan exclusively for older gamers set the
record (maybe even vinyl) straight! Read more information about the event and cast your ballot here:

Gunslinger Gaming Podcast! When we aren't in-game, we like to talk about gaming. Sometimes, just sometimes, we have a recorder on while we share in some laughs. Last week, Episode 11 of the Gunslinger Gaming
Podcast was published, featuring GS* members Freddy, Sosyc, Scars, Fed Architect, thejanman, and McMurphy. Take a listen. It is truly a group project, so any and all Gunslinger members are welcome to participate in podcasting!



Missie and Azul Marry! Recently, two long term GS* members tied the knot. Who would have thought? Missie is from Denmark and Azul hails from North Carolina. Oceans mean nothing to a global clan like us, and
we all wish the two a very happy life together!

If you are an older gamer looking for a clan that keeps your downtown stress free and akin to the very celebration of a weekend with friends, you are welcome to join us!

The above theme song of the Western classic,
The Magnificent Seven, is quite appropriate for us in June 2014. You see, as of right now, the Gunslingers clan is officially celebrating its SEVEN year anniversary!

As Vizzini says in the Princess Bride, "Inconceivable!" And, yes, I do know what that word means. I can honestly say that, in no way, did I plan or expect the Gunslingers to still be around seven years later
and accumulate over 9,000 (cue Vegeta meme) members along the way. We started as a strictly in-game clan for the PS2 title,
Jak X, and the idea of putting a website together for our operations seemed quite beyond our ability.

But here we are all those years later. Our continued success is a collective undertaking. When you think about it, our formula is not rocket science. We keep it friendly. Casual. Inviting. Why don't more clans default on that? The secret ingredient is all of
you. Your welcomes to new members, your tradition of inviting people into your parties, and your tendency to treat everyone like, well, fellow humans are why the Gunslingers are still riding into new games rather than into the sunset. You did this. Be proud
of it.

That is why this month-long anniversary is starting with a raffle for a chance to win an actual Gunslingers Frosty Pints mug. Here is a sample image of the prize:

http://www.gunslingergaming.com/images/3yearfrostypints.jpg

Reply to this topic for a chance to win. That's it. It can be one word. Preferably, it will be your thoughts or favorite
memories as a Gunslingers member. Your choice. Either way, your name will be added to the hat (Seriously, a hat. We are old school, remember?). A name will be randomly pulled as the winner at the end of June. Please keep in mind that you will need to
privately provide your mailing address to collect the prize.

Before wrapping this up and letting you all get back to playing those games, let's tip our hat also to the past and present Gunslinger Leaders. You may not see it (and that is sort of the point), but they donate an incredible amount of time to the group
so we can run smoothly, and I don't go insane trying to keep up. Thank you, Dunkaroo, Merky Water, Ironsides, Toezer, Balki, Chilly Husky, Fed Architect, Shwan58, Mikelaird, Sosyc, Wikilectual, Lamporello, LawnGnomer, and Scope, for keeping us going.
We also wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the efforts of past GS* Leaders like *** Lazer, 4th Mason, Scars, Misfit, LilBev, Korchie, Thorny, Enemyonwheels, Filoofo, Tick, Bobafett, OilBaron, FishinNick, leiflvr, loper42, forming, goppfather, conbrio,
BlastingSlick, BJS, Captain Scarlet, Teufel, Slammer, gmaCher, VykkDraygo, Aki, Osi, and Missie. Man, I sure hope I haven't forgot someone. If so, my apologizes. Thank you for your help building this group.

Where will we go from here? Who knows, and, really, isn't that what it is supposed to be? What I do know is that, regardless of where our travels take us, we will do so while continuing to set the bar of how a mature, casual clan should behave and treats each
other. Let the rest of the internet driven gaming groups have their platform wars, their elitism, and their alienation of others. We will have the parents. The hardworking men and women. The average casual gamer. The shared laughs. The memories. The anniversaries.
The years.

The magnificent seven.

We are officially over half way through the month of June, and, already, the summer season has been a blast for the GS* clan. We hosted a E3 viewing party right on our clan site and chatted in our clan chat the entire time, sharing our initial thoughts about
developments as they were revealed live. As you may have already read earlier, we are in the middle of celebrating our seven year anniversary as a group. Currently, we have a raffle going so members get a chance of wining an actual Gunslinger Gaming frosty
pint mug, and, since the last time I posted, we have added five Gunslingers-themed games to our clan's custom arcade. Shooting galleries, billiards, slots, and betting on black on the roulette table. Sounds like the Old West, right?

But what is important is that we are playing in game together after all these years, welcoming new and returning mature, casual gamers into the fold on a daily basis. THAT is why we are celebrating seven years of success. If you are a fellow gamer looking
for a group that respects your need to juggle your time in game with your duties in real life (a balancing act that any well adjusted adult can properly appreciate). No probation periods. No try-outs. No silliness. You don't waste our time. We don't waste
yours. It is all about the good times.

I've been a proud member of this awesome community for nearly three years and I honestly can't imagine my gaming life without it. I've met some amazing folks who I consider my closest friends, people I know who I can hop in a game with whenever I please
