Stat Form Developed (Print and Use)


To the Next Level!



Guys many of you know that we have now been playing COD IV for a few weeks, we have developed Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Squads. The fact is we probably only need two squads right now and would love to merge the squads into two competitive groups. Simply picking the teams is not enough to let us know what the teams need to be.

With that being said, and the great desire for intrasquad battles I've created a stat form that we can keep our stats on for the next week running from Thur.-Thur. Each night we will have some intrasquad battles you do not need to particpate in all of them only a portion but you MUST keep your stats when we have intrasquad battles, this isn't an option.

We will then compile the stats to develop two squads that will battle it out on certain nights for one month, then we will reassess the teams. Also many of you have registered on the gamerbattles website where we are 0-3, we will get better it is only a matter of time. Here is the form print it off and use it for our next match. (It is in Microsoft Word, if you don't have word let me know)

First Skirmishes

The battles have begun and the Alpha squad has already flexed their muscles, beating the Bravo squad in three highly contested battles. It was a hybrid match with two Charlie members fighting for Bravo, and an unofficial, but as of press time official member LordFaden fighting for Bravo.

The matches were semi organized and great fun. Clan founder Eric Bennett stated "I would like to get a little more structure with the members, we didn't have official squads fighting but it was great fun! I've got Hartattack98 looking at some spreadsheets he is a master with stats. Also Rollianos is a math man and I want to have an ultimate stat system." Here is a make shift version of a workup I did.

In other news RC lost 2-1 in there first ever clan battle on gamerbattles more details on that match to come.

The Time Has Come!

Battle Time!
(Intrasquad Wars Tonight)

Feb 23rd 2008 Russell Springs, KY

Today is a day that will go down in the history books. Squads have been assembled, positions have been assigned and now it is time to let the guns do the talking. Many of you may know about a week ago, the Russell County Clan was developed. The large numbers of the Clan lead to divisions into 3 seperate squads: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie squads. While these squads will be one when facing other clans, just like all brothers there will be skirmishes. Which is what will be happening tonight at 10 cst time. It is yet to be determined if the battles will be 3 v 3, 4 v 4, 5 v5, or some variation of those. If for some reason a general of a squad can not make it, they will have to have given permission to their Colonel to continue with the skirmish.

Tentative Schedule: (All matches tonight will be Team Deathmatch to 750, 10 minute limit and best 2 of 3)
Alpha vs Bravo (Crash, Shipment, Pipeline)
Charlie vs Alpha (Backlot, Countdown, District)
Bravo vs Charlie (Vacant, Ambush, Showdown)
Stats will be kept here in the comment link until myself or someone else can develop a better system. (Please Keep up with Team Scores, Player Scores, Kills and Deaths)
Please make a comment at this post so we can have an idea who may make it tonight.
Peace,
Bennett

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie

Guys our squads are forming nicely, I could see us having some intrasquad battles starting as soon as Monday. Here are how the squads look as of right now.

Alpha Squad-General Royboy88, Colonel Thorpe20, Major Thorpedo507, Captain Hartattack98

Bravo Squad-General Rollianos203, Colonel BennettForce, Captain TarHeelKyle, Corporal Alexlaker41, Sergeant BigPop20

Charlie Squad-General SteelHorns, Colonel CoachBrozz, Major ShadowTex88, Captain Mizzou244

Matches we will look at doing are 3v3 Team Deathmatch 3v3 Hardcore Team Deathmatch
4v4 Both Deathmatches, Search and Destroy, and Domination. (Colonel must be present in all intrasquad battles).
When more members are added we may add more variations.

All intrasquad matches will be best of 3 unless specified otherwise, stats kept will be simply win/loss and individual score, kill, and deaths. If someone knows a good program to keep stats on please let me know

Also many of you have signed up here: http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/call-of-duty-4/team/rc I have added you all but I think you all must log in and take some other form of action like joining the team or something like that. Thanks

RC Call of Duty!

Guys we have just hit the big time! I know we have Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie Squads, but we are still one army. I have taken us to the next level and signed us up at Major League Gamers and here is our team profile.

http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/call-of-duty-4/team/rc

Here we can meet up and play other squads, they have been doing this for awhile and will be doing it until March 31st, then I think everything will reset. This will give us time to get our feet wet.

You will need to create a profile on the website and then I can recruit you to the RC squad, let me know when you have signed up and I'll send you the invite to the Clan. Like I said we will still keep our squads for fun here and work off that. But we will be one united army at this website, unless later we decide to branch out.

Peace,
Bennett

We aren't all Video Games........ (Just Mainly)

Hello Readers of Bennett's Corner just wanted to update you on the world out there. Some big news for today Feb 19th, 2008.



Move over Dvd's

The next big player in digital media is............Blu-ray, they have defeated HD-DVD just like the VHS did Beta, so be on the lookout for a new Blu-ray player always a good gift especially when they get cheaper.


Dallas says there is a new "Kidd" in town

With all the other western teams adding to their rosters,
Phoenix, adding Shaq, LA, adding Gasol, Dallas got in on the deal adding Jason Kidd to their lineup, it will be interesting who will emerge out of the west to face Boston for the Championship

RC COD 4 Teams

Guys we have seen great interest in really developing a strong clan. I have already had 5 people complete Clan Interviews and had some good ideas on strategies and how to determine squads etc. For the moment we are going to have an Alpha, Beta, and Charlie Platoon. (At no time shall a platoon exceed 6 members) We will all still be part of the larger RC clan when facing other groups online. The only time the platoons will play a part is in bragging rights and intrasquad battles.



*I'm still in the process of determining how we could keep stats, and if so what kind of stats we can keep, any ideas will be noted and greatly appreciated.



Generals- You have guidelines for people you must recruit, Alpha and Bravo Generals the members must live or have lived in Russell County. Charlie General members must be from "The League" or personal friend. Also you must assign a: Colonel, Major, Captain, Sergeant, and Corporal. Remember who is currently a RC member and recruit those individuals first, when they accept a position please post what position in a comment to this post. It may be that you only get 2 or 3 members for awhile but you will find more.











Alpha Squad-General Royboy88 (members to be drafted)
Captain Hartattack98
(In talks with Thorpe20)









Bravo Squad-General Rollianos203 (members to be drafted)
Colonel BennettForce






Charlie Squad-General SteelHorns (members to be draft)
Colonel CoachBrozz
Major ShadowTex88
Captain Mizzou244



Important- When you accept a position on a squad you will be required to serve that position with that squad for 1 month after accepting that position. After 1 month of service you will be rewarded by your general with some type of classification as specified by that general, for example Royboy88, might give you a family guy icon for each month served. After 1 month you may re-enlist with that squad or choose to change squads. Also after 1 month the squad will vote on who they want as their general for the following month, it can stay the same or change and should be based solely on their game play.

*Guys this is all new so I'm totally open to any and all ideas.

*Generals drafting can begin now, also remember you are responsible for posting your new squad members and their positions in a comment to this post

*If your searching for current RC clan members refer to my earlier blog.

Last of all stay tuned for how we will keep stats and to try and determine how and when intrasquad battles may take place, as for now treat playing COD as your basic training.

That is all...............

3. Favorite Weapon?

4. What do you feel is your biggest strength currently on COD 4?

5. Weakness?

Clan RC







Guys I need your help let me know which one you like the best. (You can click on them to see them a little larger) Also if you have experience making banners etc, or have ideas let me know. Lets do this thing right! Also be on the lookout for interviews.

Thanks

COD 4






Call of Duty 4






Wow where do I start with such a great game? Call of Duty is the ultimate online multiplayer game. The leveling system, perks, and weapon upgrades are phenomenal.


There is nothing like getting with a group of friends online and going out on the battlefield together. Covering each other backs and competing for kills, and assisting in even more. What a great feeling to get that last kill to lead your troop to victory or calling in an airstrike or helicopter!


I have to give a shout out to my RC Clan which seems to grow day by day: hartattack98(aka badconnection) Rollianos203(Oh its time baby)Royboy88(giggity goo) Thorpe20(Do Work), alexlaker41(The young gun) Tarheelkyle(Silent assassin) Big Pop20(New Guy)and of course myself BENNETT FORCE (The enforcer).



Also a shout to some of "The League" members I've had the pleasure to play with Steelhorns,Coachbrozz, Shadowtex88, and bluedevil0320.


Why play Call of Duty 4 on xbox live? Because its awesome!


Also found a cool site: http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/ my referral number

The Office is Coming Back!




Thanks so much to the writers, for returning to our favorite shows, my dvd player was getting mad about its overuse here lately. Granted The Office Seasons 1-3 are awesome but I'm dying to see what is in store for the rest of Season 4!


According to Yahoo, the strike is over and we can expect 6 new episodes, coming in April and May. Will Dwight attempt to overtake Michael again? Will JAM (Jim and Pam) stay together. Will there be a rematch of the previous basketball game? Who knows but at least there will be some new episodes. There could even be another trip to Schrute farms, sponsored by trip advisor.
