Or the host could message all the confirmed members of the event. People have alot going on but the link is right there with their name in the event.

Did someone mention this before I did? I posted it on 8/11, and it is now implemented, yet no Brainstormer award.

I just need some prodding. I read these things, implement them but then can't remember where I read them.

I've granted you the award.

A Roadmap section like 360a. I'm tried of going to that site, wish we could create something like that. I'm sure that would be an awesome way to help out the entire XBA community.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a roadmap in the context of gaming?

a road map on 360a tells u the difficulty of gaining achievements, any glitched achievements, and the amount of time to 1k it. it also runs through the easiest way to go about 1k'ing the game and what order u should be unlocking the achievements. they do these with the game guides.

Sorry, I should of explained. A road map is basically a quick glance at how hard it is to attain achievements for a game. Here's an example

Dead Space

Achievement Difficulty: 4/10
Offline Achievements: 48 (1000GS)
Online Achievements: None
Number of Hours for 1000/1000: 15-20 Hours
Number of Playthroughs needed: 2
Do cheats disable Achievements? No
Glitched Achievements? None
Number of Missable Achievements: 5

Along with the above is an brief explanation of the best way to obtain all the achievements in the game and any other useful information to player who are looking to achieve 1000 gamerscore. This was Roadmap is just serving as an example not completely accurate.

I use these Roadmaps all the time as they are a quick and easy way to see what you are getting yourself into before buying or renting a new game. They are a very useful tool and can give other games advice on how to approach a game.

Thanks for taking your time to atleast consider my post Jackson.

if we had a road map section of the forum i could wright quite a few

Just expanding on the road map thing

Maybe under each game in the game section there would be a "Guild and road maps" section and then have an option to create your own. Then the one user created one would go into a "Un-confirmed section" untill it recives enough positive reviews. So then anyone could make their own guide for whatever thing they want and have a rating system to see which is best. Then if people make a bunch of separator approved guides a staff member could unite them all into a Official guide and credit and link all the contributing guides with links.

This is just a dump of ideas sorry if its a bit hard to read just want to spew them out, im gunna see if i can make i diagram or something in paint because I have a picture in my head of how this could work (and its not x360a format)

That would be awesome, I really want this to be implemented into XBA. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you make this diagram but if there is let me know!

Ok heres my basic blueprint of what I had in mind (idea rush)
(pluses would be replaced by green thumb and there would be a place for negative reviews as well.

Edit: oh and a new place on the home page could be like "Newest Guides "
oh and ill say it before someone else does. "Awards"

Would roadmaps be able to fall into a template or is there enough variation in the information supplied by them that it would be better to just leave the system really flexible?
