PICKTEAMS OPEN BETA




As we announced about two months ago, we've been hard at work on the latest
evolution of GXC, codenamed "Crossbow". Well, it has been in private beta for
some time now, and we're glad to announce that on Monday 16th March, we'll be
opening up PickTeams for testing by everyone.


Unlike previous upgrades, however, PickTeams is much more than simply GXC 3.0.


New Games:

PickTeams is the umbrella website under which we will house current games as
well as develop new ones, the first of which is called AlphaBlitz.


AlphaBlitz, simply put, is what happens when you couple the cerebral, addictive
excitement of a word game with the competitve pressure of a social gaming
environment. Battle against friends (as well as the clock) in an attempt to
seduce as many words as possible from a lattice of letters. And AlphaBlitz
enables greater control over the game experience by allowing players to create
and host games with their own custom teams and game rules.





Social Infrastructure:

PickTeams features social media integration that allows you to do cool stuff
like log into PickTeams with your Facebook account, as well as brag about your
most recent victories and leaderboard standings via Facebook Connect.


Incentive Systems:

Finally, PickTeams distills everything we've learned in the last 2 years about
how people compete online. Player profiles, medals, team/player leaderboards and
a new team "repping" system all add up to result in what (we hope) will soon
become the internet's number one casual social gaming experience.


Thanks for sticking with us so far, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this part of
the ride!


See you on Monday at http://pickteams.com !

Regards,
The PickTeams Team.

STAR WIKI ARTICLE: THE HERRINGS


Yep. True to the GXC wiki's purpose, we are now allowed a fascinating look into
"The Herring Incident" of a few weeks ago. The article is brief, insightful, and
provides a complete account of those happenings.

Thanks to whoever put this up!

GXC WIKI


Hey guys,


Garrett, Xerxes and I have been playing with a GXC wiki for a couple of days
now. It's basically (or will be :D) a repository/playhouse of all things GXC;
stories of legendary games (*cough*GXCTheOffice*cough*), player profiles, a
collection of the sayings of Alexander the Hyena etc.


For later reference, the site is http://www.donnael.com/GXCWiki

Definitely come check it out, and it would be wonderful if people contributed
even just a couple of words to the effort. Sorry about the walls, though - the
paint is not quite dry :)

- Emmanuel.

Mad respect to Garrett for creating the wiki and hosting it on his site :).

Update: you can edit the wiki after a quick sign up with the site: click the
"log in/create account" link in the top right corner.

ANNOUNCING: WORLD DOMINATION SUNDAY!


Have you ever had the nagging suspicion that you could do a better job at the
whole "world domination" thing? Granted, Hannibal and Alexander the Great and
Genghis Khan were military geniuses, but you can't seem to shake the feeling
that if you were in their sandals you would, you know . . . FAIL a little less .
. .


Announcing World Domination Sunday!

GXC's first World Map comes to you as a lightning game this and every Sunday, at
9pm EST! In many ways this is the ultimate GXC challenge; the promise of global
conquest under the grueling stresses of lightning game rules every single week
with 60 territories up for grabs by 5 teams with random player placement. Throw
in the 16 ocean hopping territory connections and you wonder whether this thing
shouldn't come with an ESRB age restriction and health warning . . .

First game Sunday 11th January. Join here. Bring a priest. Someone could get
hurt.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF GXC AKA CRACKED (A LOVE STORY OF ROMANCE & ADVENTURE,
MAYBE)


Emma Elfeirr hit on a novel way for you guys to chart your adventures through
GXC - via neverending fanfiction. The first installment is below, but anyone can
contribute to subsequent episodes. Updates will come as fast as there are
submissions (send submissions to emmanuel@gocrosscampus.com), and the winning
installments will be chosen by a panel of esteemed Nobel laureates and Pulitzer
prize winners (namely, Alexander the Hyena and I). Alex and I have created this
handy checklist to help give you an idea of what a successful submission will
look like:

1. Are you a hyena?

GREAT!

EPISODE ONE (by Emma Elfeirr)

If you're reading this, it means I've found my way into the blog. You see, a few
turns ago, while I was sitting at my laptop, minding my own business and just
energizing in my games, everything started shaking suddenly. My computer screen
started getting brighter and brighter, and everything around me started
spinning. I panicked and tried to get away, but my hands wouldn't get off of my
keyboard. What's worse, is that they started getting pulled straight toward the
screen! I used every bit of strength I had (although, mind you, I was losing it
fast as I became dizzier and dizzier) to try to pull my hands away, but it was a
losing battle for me.


The moment my fingers touched the screen, I was amazed at how cool it felt. I
had been expecting burning heat, not the strange cool, plasma-like feel it
seemed to have to it. The feel of the screen caught me so off guard, I stopped
fighting back for a second. In that short second, my feet were ripped from the
ground as my entire body went straight into my computer screen. Everything was
bright light. I was too dizzy to stand any more, so before getting a chance for
my eyes to adjust and see where I was, I just passed out.


When I woke up, I kept my eyes shut tight. I must have been dreaming. It was all
just some crazy dream induced by my new sleep meds. My doctor had warned me that
could be a side effect. I didn't want to open my eyes and find out it was real.
But how could it be real? I told myself. There was no way that could have been
real. Of course it was a dream! Convinced of such, I opened my eyes.


"Where's the colon!?" was the first thing I said. Instead of being worried about
something important like, say, the fact that I was currently standing on the
Star Wars GXC game, my first thought, of course, was about punctuation. "Star
Wars A New Game" just didn't look right. It needs the colon! I walked down to
Game Chat and saw I wasn't the only one upset about the lack of colon in the
game.


The distraction didn't last long though. Pretty soon, I was much more concerned
about how in the world I was standing on the Star Wars game. Maybe I was still
dreaming. I knew I wasn't though. It felt way too real to be a dream. Somehow, I
don't know how, I got sucked straight into GXC. It had been days too, as 3 turns
had passed since that fateful turn when I got sucked in through my computer.
Clueless as to how I got in, I still can't figure out how to get out. So, with
this post, I ask you for help. I'm going to post all of what happens here inside
GXC, and perhaps you can find a way to get me out. Perhaps there are clues
hidden within the days I've spent inside here. Only you can help me get out of
here alive!
