Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce that Gamingrepublic.org, otherwise known as AoR: Army of the Republic is kicking off a contest that will be open to all invited gaming communities. Here at AoR we have different networks and rosters that people can join and participate in depending upon the game of their choice and their hours of gaming availability. We pride ourselves in accommodating as many different people as we can. This is in no way a recruiting post, so in case you haven't heard of us this is who we are! Anyway, we're giving away some really great gifts this month as part of AoR's plan of 2009 to give back and reach out to all the communities we've crossed paths over the years. Many of us came together on Halo 3. It's a staple title for FPS and many of us still play it each night. And since 2008 was such a great year, we're now also playing Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band 2, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: World at War, Viva Piñata 2:TiP and anyway, some of us have moved on to newer titles. Well, this contest is a method to bring us all back together to play for great prizes on the titles of 2008 we loved so much! The contest is 4 weeks long of 3 separate events and don’t worry; there is no scheduling of matches, games or anything else. You will have a whole week, and in the case of one of the events, 2 whole weeks to compete. We’re all really busy ourselves and we know that gaming isn’t all you do, right? You can either sign up for one of the events or all three. What are the prizes?

Each contest has its own prize for the winner and then points are awarded to the top 10 of each event so at the end of the entire circuit whoever has the most points will receive another prize!

March 7 – March 14
Our first event will begin at the stroke of midnight on Saturday, but technically Sunday morning. The leaderboards on the Gears of War 2 website as some of you know are able to tabulate stats for the week and the week alone. We plan to take advantage of this and use it for our first circuit event. The week runs from Sunday to Sunday. You will have exactly one week to score as many points as you can in multiplayer play online on the following gametypes: Warzone, Guardian and Execution. They are all Elimination gametypes. Play your best every game and come out on top with the most points as often as you can whenever you have time to play and at the end of the week if you have the most points you will win an XBOX 360 with a 20 GB hard drive, the new L227WTG 22 inch LG lcd monitor, VGA connector to hook it up to your XBOX 360 and then a new pair of the original gaming headset, the Turtle Beach X1.
So, how do I get in on this?
It's simple. If you only plan on participating in this event or all 3, you just need to come on over to Gamingrepublic.org and if you haven't already visited and signed up on our forums, do so and then introduce yourself in the Visitors section. Just say hi to the community and tell us about yourself. It's important that you do this because if you don't, unfortunately we can't honor your score. It takes a minute and we'd hate to miss out on meeting some new great people out there. Afterwards, sign up for either the entire Circuit or just one particular event. If you sign up for one event you are NOT signing up for the entire Circuit. After the week is over I will declare a winner and if you've won I will contact you via XBL and our forum and acquire your address so I can send you the goods! Keep in mind that the results may overlap into the next contest and that should be expected. If you plan on doing all 3 events for the entire Circuit focus on the current event for that week and as soon as the results are official they will be posted.

March 14 – March 28
If any of you are familiar with what is known as the Sarkathlon, featured by G4, you'll know it was a world wide contest on an obstacle course. This past year, the winner received Recon Armor provided by Bungie themselves. I tried it myself and it was a lot of fun. Our second Circuit event is very similar and with a smaller number of people participating, you're sure to have a chance to win the prize.
The gametype is VIP and it is a variation of Escort VIP so there will be waypoints to follow that will guide you through the course. At some points it will be necessary to stray off the course for certain items that will enable you to continue on and you will figure out what and where they are. You are not limited to any particular method of travelling, though there are only mongeese on the map and I would not recommend walking if you don’t have to. The only waypoint that has a bit of mystery to it and will more than likely separate a majority of the times between all the entries is the 9th waypoint in which you will pick up a sniper rifle and shoot 8 Fusion Coils that are within view from the platform and you must shoot them all before exiting the platform and continuing on the obstacle course. You can not, and I stress this, you can not leave the platform to shoot the 8 Fusion Coils. You must shoot all 8 Fusion Coils from the platform.

To see a pretty poor attempt at a speedy execution of the course now, you can click on the URL below. NOTE: You will not see me shoot any of the Fusion Coils in this video, only shoot 8 Sniper bullets into the snow. It is up to you to find them and is your choice if you want to divulge their wherabouts to other members participating.

Afterwards, wait until March 14 at midnight and then download the map, gametype from my fileshare and go to work! When you feel you have the best time, send me the film clip via Halo 3 on XBL and I'll check it out. I will update the Avalanche Off Road thread on our website, Gamingrepublic.org with the highest times and if you see your time wasn't as good as the top spots, keep working on it and keep submitting the films.

March 28- April 4
The last event of the circuit is called Riot Runner. This is the only event that can actually be played on two games, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: World at War. Playing on both or on either does not give you an advantage. Your mission is to have the biggest Kill Streak in the course of one week. It doesn’t matter what gametype you play and whether it’s with friends, randoms or allies. It makes no difference. Naturally, some gametypes will lend themselves to providing larger kill streaks than others and you will have to figure out what those are. Here is the only stipulation to this fairly simple contest! Since all of us who have played this game already have a current Kill Streak record, you will have to break this current record to submit a Streak. It is the only way to make this fair. We cannot reward you for something you did last year or 3 months ago. Here’s how it would break down:
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s299/dreamorigami/killstreakexample.png
If your current streak is at 22, you cannot submit a kill streak of 19 kills because you cannot prove that you did it recently. However, if you happen to score a 37 kill streak during the week of the event then this will count and be your score. You can continuously break your record over and over. At the end of the week all entrants will have their barracks checked out to validate their scores and once that is completed a winner will be announced. First place gets an XBOX 360 with a 20 GB hard drive, the new L227WTG 22 inch LG lcd monitor, VGA connector to hook it up to your XBOX 360 and then a new pair of the original gaming headset, the Turtle Beach X1.
SEE YOU THEN!!
