Okay, so I looked and found things similar for other sections but nothing for our beloved gaming clans that do nothing but sit on there asses all day. I was wondering why that section was dead, and thought maybe it was because there was never any actual competitions set up. Not pointing any fingers at you mods. Just sayin'.
I don't have anything either, don't ban me. 


- I saw lots of ideas inside of the Tantalus section, but isn't that a problem? Where is the suggestion for the clans to come together and cook up ideas? Perhaps some kind of General Chat like the graphics clans have or even something as simple as a suggestion thread in the arena that both clans can access. Maybe this can spur a little more activity amongst us.
- Like I linked in the first paragraph, the SotW has points rewards now. Is it possible for the Arena to get such a backing as well? Take a tally on how many people own a certain number of games and rotate them each week for competitive reasons. Not everyone can participate in every competition because of this, but it isn't as simple as the GFX section. I'm not saying the idea is bullet proof, but I'm really kind of done seeing that section of the forum neglected while GFX is constantly added upon. Yes, I'm hating on it. That's life.
I realize games are a matter of actual money, but that is why there is a tally on how many people own a particular game. When a member feels a game is growing in popularity they can post in the our newly created general talk/suggestion thread to have it added to the rotation list, and people who own it can bump in. If it's high enough, as long as you hold onto your game you're fine. If you get rid of your game, then you're just reducing the games popularity and removing it from the active list
- Establishing a common time is hard to do with everyone on such a global scale, but everyone seems to find a way to work around it to play with each other at the end of the day. I'm sure we can work something out if effort was set into it. Try and find as close to a middle ground as possible. Early Saturday night for most of our UK brethren is Saturday afternoon for us US toadstools. That doesn't sound like a horrible time for either party to me.
- Wagers are something we might also be able to bring in with the addition of the points (or gil, whatever you wanna call it you Triple Triad bastards). We don't need the FFFbank for everything we are doing, but this would be an interesting way to encourage competition and livelihood inside of the clans. I'd imagine there is a rule somewhere about gambling, I don't have a clue if there is. If this violates it, screw it. If not, why not let us gamers bet against each other in particular competitions using our points? Things like our weekly (or bi-weekly, if there are issues) clan competitions could have side bets with a predetermined bank account to hold the pot. We could also made our personal wagers (something like your callout scoreboard in the GFX section) into our own personal goals. A new game comes out, first to plat or reach a certain rank/level gets the pot. It could have a lot of fun potential.
