Here is the first of Tribe Island's challenges.

For the tribe you have selected, start (or add to) a thread called "Why I Love [my tribe]" (ex: my thread would be called "Why I Love Sega".

In your post, you have to convince the judges that the company you're supporting is the best. Remember the general rules of this forum - NO FLAMING - be the spokesperson for your tribe!

Keep your statement short, a paragraph or less.

Judges are not allowed to enter this contest, except of course for fun, but cannot start (you can add to) any thread in this particular contest.

SCORING:
Our secret judging panel will pick first, second and third place winners who will receive 15, 10, and 5 points respectively.

You also get a quick point by being the first to post a thread for your tribe.

Your entry is automaticaly disqualified (and will be locked) if you post a new thread when one already exists for your tribe.

+1 posting is just making a post to get your total post count up one....the post would be a totally pointless post that has nothing to do with the topic

I'm not going to even question it. Four points is four points. I think I may just post a pic of Mayhem or tholly from member photos (if they're both there)... POINTS!

tholly is cool.

Why?

Cause he lives in the same state as Kennywood and that park with the giant Mr.Rogers Neighborhood ride....

Mayhem

Yeah, Cedar Point is cool. It's got that GIANT arcade, with old shit from the early '70's.

Course, it's like 60 bucks a pop. :angry:

Lots of great reading, lots of passion. These choices are highly subjective, simply chosen in this order on merit of the impact on the judge.

FINAL SCORE:
Aussie2B (Tri-Ace): 15 points
Sisko (Atlus): 10 points
Ze_ro (Atari): 5 points

Nice job all around on this, those mini-essays really explain why there IS a gaming community.
