If you have a pulse, you may already know that the U.S. Presidential Elections take place this coming Tuesday. If you are in the United States (particularly in a swing State), how could you not? It feels like you can't escape the attack ads, right?

Well, you can.

At the Gunslingers, we practice an understood measure of mutual respect. While other clans get themselves in heated conflicts and delete each other off of friend lists because there are lines being drawn amongst themselves, we continue to let the good times roll. Why? We ain't about politics. We are about good times. That, and perhaps drinking.

All fellow parent and adult gamers are invited to join the Gunslingers. Keep your gaming experience uncomplicated and as positive as possible. Why else would you be gaming, right? So, join the group that already gets it!

Every month, we randomly select an overtly active Gunslinger member to interview in the GS*Blog. November's Member Spotlight features none other than GS*Spooky! A father. A husband. A veteran. A horror film enthusiast. Spooky is all those things, and, fortunately for us, he is also a Gunslinger.

Learn more about this Gunslinger member by reading his interview:
http://gunslingergaming.com/wordpress/?p=455

He is a fine example of the sort of folks that populate the Gunslingers clan. When a group is a dedicated to creating the largest and most successful home for adult gamers, you find yourself gaming with people sharing your own time restraints, interests, and desire to keep your gaming experience a mature, casual one!

Join us and join in on the fun!

The Black Ops 2 Gunslingers is a large and active Nintendo Wii U clan specifically for parent and hard working adult gamers. Without doubt, you will be scanning through the clan section of these forums to see which group(s) you want to join. I promise you will notice some things.

First, too many "casual" clans have voucher and/or probation periods. Before you are even allowed to be "one of them," you have to jump virtual hurdles or have a specific number of pre-existing members vouch for you. Not at the Gunslingers. We have no probation periods or voucher systems. We strongly believe that all our members, regardless new or old, should be treated with respect and consideration. Join. Meet fellow adult gamers. Let the good times roll. Any group that demands more than that is wasting your time.

Second, too many "friendly" clans don't let you see their community prior to joining. Essentially, you are being asked to join their group blindfolded while hoping that their claims made in their recruiting threads are legitimate. When was the last time you ever bought or signed up for something without getting to see the product? I would hope never. The Gunslingers clan wants you to feel confident that you made an informed decision when joining us. That is why nearly all of our forum, chat, and site content are viewable as a guest. Come. Check us out. If you like what you see. Join. It is as simple as that. Anyone trying to get you to join something without letting you see if they are active or a cool collection of folks with whom to game is someone to be cautious of.

The Gunslingers clan is an active and friendly community of fellow mature, casual gamers. We are able to accomplish this feat without making new members jump through probation hoops or hiding our content. Get the most out of your Wii U gaming experience. Join the Gunslingers.

Within the first weeks of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 launch and on the eve the Nintendo Wii U console release, an incredible Gunslingers milestone occurred.

The Gunslingers group is now over 5,000 members strong!

I hope you find that amazing, because I sure as Hell do. Bend the ear of long time members like Balki, Korchie, Dick Lazer, or anyone else who has been active within GS for more than a few years. They will tell that it was never in our game plan to have so many fellow mature, casual gamers also consider the Gunslingers a needed outpost in their internet travels. Please, take a moment to view all the fantastic folks who have joined the rest of us in the last fifteen days.

http://www.gunslingergaming.com/phpb...p?f=38&t=11249

To the above new members and to everyone else registered as a Gunslinger, I sincerely thank you all for joining.

The 5,000 mark is no feat in the ledger of a salesman. It isn't some sort of return of investment from advertising. GS has and will never be a money venture. We can celebrate such a milestone because of you. Because you wanted to escape typical clan obligations, because you wanted to game with other adults who share your own time restrictions, because you welcomed new members in the Introductions section, because you posted in the Introductions section, because you said "hello" in chat, because you were willing to make new friends by sending out invites from the Master Lists, because you were steadfast in keeping the GS narrative about friendliness and mutual respect rather than bragging rights, we have 5,000 members.

The way we have collectively went about making this grand experiment in social gaming succeed is also something we all should be proud of. We did it by sticking to our guns over being adults-only and casual specific. When we first entered the scene, most clans assumed that the competitive clan model was the only way in which to succeed.

Fast forward five years and, largely due to more and more adults playing video games, the general clan scene has become generally more casual. If you noticed our recruiting messages being echoed in those of other groups, you aren't alone. Sometimes, entire pages of our website are literally copied and pasted onto upstarts. Plagiarism is never welcomed, but it does serve as a positive meter-stick in regards to our influence.

That isn't to say that we are no longer ahead of the curve. The norm of gaming groups is making new members jump through hoops otherwise known as probation period, voucher requirements, and a stepped process in becoming a "true" member. People are still being asked to join groups without being able to even view their content prior to registering. The belief is that such hurdles are necessary to ensure a positive gaming experience.

Again, that is where you all come in. You are the ultimate rebuttal to that myth.

Because of your commitment in keeping us friendly and playing clean through natural social dispositions, we don't need those restrictions. We get to treat everyone here as they should be treated, regardless of what "Join Date" is stamped next to their name. Sure, there have been times when moderation by GS Leaders were needed, but moderation should always be a safety net, never a shadow cast by a gavel.

So, that was a heady rant, and I am sure I have thoroughly embarrassed myself by this point. Let's get to what all the above is really about. Celebrating! Fridays and Saturdays represent a long running tradition at GS called Frosty Pints. Grab some drinks. Grab a headset. Send out those friend invites. And light up those online servers with the GS tag. Make this Frosty Pints a toast to all that you have accomplished by continuing to do what you always have done: welcoming your fellow Gunslingers and having a good time.

Sincerely,

Gunslinger Founder,
McMurphy

On behalf of the Gunslingers, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Eat too much turkey.
Watch too much football.
Banter with too many relatives.
And be thankful for all of the above.

The weekend is coming to an end. Time for another work week. Time for another round of pretending to like your boss. It also means less time to enjoy the Nintendo Wii U. That is why we in the Gunslingers clan have decided to show our grey hair and give another opportunity to sneak in some retro gaming while at the workplace by celebrating Q*Bert's 30th anniversary. GS members, while unable to get in-game, can try to get and hold the highscore in this arcade classic. The member who holds the highscore at the end of December 15th receives a custom GS Forum title. Find out more about the event here:
http://www.gunslingergaming.com/phpb...?f=223&t=11385

Outside of work, however, I will see you all on the battlefield!

Gunslinger Newsletter for Week of 12/12/12:

Christmas is almost here. It is easy to get caught up on shopping and making holiday plans, which is why you haven't seen a Gunslinger update here for a few weeks. That, however, does not mean there is nothing to report. Quite the opposite. In fact, the following list is a quick breakdown of all the updates that have occurred within the Gunslingers---the most active clan for older parent and adult gamers:

New Members: In November, GS hit a membership milestone by having our 5,000th adult gamer join our posse. The dynamite keeps booming throughout December. Since the 5K mark made on November 16th, 195 fellow mature, casual gamers have signed up with the Gunslingers. If you are an older gamer looking for a like-minded, laid-back gaming experience with folks your own age, come join the rest of us at GS!

Wii-U Support: The Gunslingers are representing older gamers on the Wii-U since the system's launch day. To reflect that, we have added Nintendo Network ID fields to everyone's profiles on the GunslingerGaming.com forums, added Wii-U topic icons as an option while posting, and we have revamped our Game Specific Chat to include one exclusively for Nintendo gamers. These updates are, of course, in addition to our Wii-U specific Master Lists added to the site that make it easier to swap game contacts. Whether you are an older gamer who bought the Wii-U for yourself or simply logging in some personal gaming time on the system you have bought for your children, you are welcome to do so with the Gunslingers!

Updated Chats: Our custom Chat page that allows you to correspond in the general GS chat while still exploring more specific genres of gaming discussions in our other chatrooms has been given an update. Now, via a drop-down menu, you can choose from chats specializing in Xbox360, PS3, PC, Nintendo, Action/Adventure, Shooters, Retro, Sports, Role Playing, and Racing. Everything about GS is about giving you everything you need to make gaming a social experience regardless of your unique gaming schedule. Being a group comprised of adults, we all fully appreciate the fact that our free time is quite limited. Come chat it up!

Updated GS Jukebox: You probably have looked at a few clan or gaming community sites in your time. You may have noticed a pattern. Some (perhaps many) of them feature some sort of on-site playlist of music that you can listen to. The Gunslingers also have such a playlist, but with a unique twist. With GS, our entire jukebox is comprised with music written and/or composed by fellow Gunslinger members. That is one of the great things about being in a group for adult gamers. We bring folks from around the world, from different backgrounds, and wielding different talents. Now, you can listen to some of the musicians that have joined Gunslingers more readily with our new version of the GS Jukebox. Visit any of our GS Chat pages to try it out!

MP3 Support in Forums: Speaking of music, Gunslinger members are now able to post direct links to MP3 files in their posts and have them show up as mini music players. No downloading necessary, and it is a great way to share in our tastes in music in a more convenient manner. Take a look how it works at a sample topic I created: http://www.gunslingergaming.com/phpb...p?f=38&t=11587

New Arcade Games Added: We are keeping to our tradition of adding new games to the Gunslinger Arcade every week. Since last noted in this thread, Gunslinger members can add the following games to the list of installs they can play while the boss isn't looking: Knight Rider, Chap Hai Wildsnake, Jungle Quest, Mario & Friends Tower Defense, and Counterstrike!

End of the World Frosty Pints Event: Having some fun with the supposed foretold end of the world, we are having a special edition of our infamous Frosty Pints tradition on December 14th and 15th. Grab your pick of poison, slap on that headset, and party it up while you game with other adults! It is a weekend tradition that has been going strong at GS since 2008. Perhaps if the Mayans had beer and video games, they wouldn't have believed the world would end now. View more details about the event here: http://www.gunslingergaming.com/phpb...p?f=38&t=11451

Thank you for taking the time to read the more recent activity at the Gunslingers. Again, if you are a fellow older gamer looking to keep your gaming experience fun, casual, and always within your own time restraints, you are invited to join the Gunslingers!
