Is there a "no" ranking gamertag list?
I see the one above and it's great and all but this is a different question. I've got all of the gear to go to xbox live but I haven't yet. I see a lot of talk of people playing and not having fun because either someone is really into their rankings and takes away from the fun of the game, or someone plays a few young kids that act so immature that it takes away from the fun.
I want to play xbox live but I just want to have fun. I could care less about rankings and such. I don't even care if someone wins everytime they play me as long as I have fun getting beat.
Would there be interest in a no ranking, casual gamertag list? Or at the very least a group to add on my buddy list that just want to play against someone without dealing with cliques, rankings, kids.
Maybe I'm the only one that thinks that way, I dunno.

I think newer games has it where you can pick to host no ranked games. I've read SC is very bad about this cause if you are not ranked high allot of host kick you on the spot. I mean maybe you're good but just don't play allot to have a high ranking.
I say add the dvdtalk folks I'm sure their pretty relaxed group of folks.
Also far as I know only two games show your rank next to your name and that is SC and CS. Is their more?

you are not the only one, but honestly, it doesn't matter. if you don't care, don't care about it and just play the game. that's how i play on live.
same thing for glitchers... i don't nor do i care. occasionally, i'll run into someone who says, hey, you know you can glitch here... i'll show you how... blah blah blah. i just keep going.

Ranked or unranked doesn't make as much of a difference as long as you have a good time and play with good people. I personally don't care about stats, except maybe football. (Even then I like tornements more anyways.) I've found that Dvdtalkers are generally a more mature bunch to play with, and if you play one that that you don't like just take him/her off your friends list.
As a general rule I try to play people on my friends list.

Crimson Skies is littered with morans who are high and drunk, apparently I'm the only dvdtalker that gets them. All in all though I've been happy with the games I've played on it, even the drunk guys and the ones taking bong hits.
I try to stick to my friends list, but usually end up branching out to get some new challenges with hopes of expands my friends list.

So when I activate this week I guess I could add you guys from here. Don't people usually need to know who they are adding as friends, or do you just pick people from the gamertag list and hope it all works out?

Just play random games or with friends, and if you meet other cool people just send them a friend invite. simple.

Rank in SC is hard to track now that they reset all the scores. There are a lot of good players that come up as 0 ranks because if you get dropped or quit a ranked game you lose 100 points and that can take awhile to recover from.

I like the relaxed atomsphere of games I host. You can add me, I've got Crimson Skies as well.
One night I spent 6 hours hosting PGR2 with mostly the same 6 people and we had a blast. Some were ranked lower like me, 4. A couple were above 20. We just played all kinds of tracks and car types. Very fun and had a great time. Added them all to my list and I'm on theirs. Some were older, 30's and some were around 16.

I would love to get some dvdtalk people together for a scheduled CS game. When Star Wars Battlefronts and Halo 2 come out we absolutely must organize some matches.

Add me to your list..... "Giantrobo". We need to get more dvdtalk LIVE get togethers.
The coolest thing I've seen on LIVE was in Jedi Academy. This guy just Hosted a game with several "bots" and was just playing like normal. Most hardcore folks would leave as soon as they realized he had "bots" and didn't give a shit about ranking and all that jazz. People were just coming and going as they pleased and the ones who stayed just played and had fun.

I'm signed up as waporvare, I'm going to add you guys to my friends list but I probably won't be on tonight. Something about the wife wanting to watch some shows.
