The following text is taken from the message i just sent to Mr. P about a new game on TLN.

"Hello there Mr. P., I'm sure you've had a busy halo weekend but with all this Halo going on I have come up with an idea that I think would be pretty sweet implemented to this website.

So I am very active in sports fantasy and such, especially through ESPN's website. One game I have come to love is ESPN's Streak for the Ca$h. If you have not heard of Streak for the Ca$h, here is a link: http://streak.espn.go.com/en/

If you are not too familiar, this is a game of voting between 2 sides. The cool thing about streak is that its not just a vote between who will win a matchup. For example: Instead of just seeing vote for Team A win, or Team B win, you will see something more interesting, like in a football game, it may be "is the first touchdown going to be a pass?"

How can this be implemented into Halo?
-Well, instead of just picking between the winner of tD and FB, maybe the question will be: Who will go most positive in Game 1? Choice A being Fearitself or Neighbor, while choice B being Any other of the players. This is just an example of an endless possibilities of questions.

Others i was thinking about could involve:
Which player will record the most objective time?
Which player will get the most sniper headshots?
Will any player record a triple kill?
etc.

Now lastly, ESPN's Streak for the Ca$h's prize goes to two different people, the one with the longest streak of the month (which in TLN's case maybe the longest streak of the LAN) and also to the most wins in a month (again, in TLN's case, the most wins in voting throughout the whole LAN). I don't expect a $100,000 grand prize like ESPN does every month, but here may be some good things as prizes to do at each LAN:

Longest Streak: 1 free month at TLN and a signed TLN t-shirt signed by all of the pros that weekend
Most Wins: 1 free TLN stream pass
??Runner-ups??: 1v1 with a pro (ex. Neighbor) best of 3

*NOTE: longest streak should be longest ACTIVE streak

Again, everything I have stated here is just an idea and could be changed a lot, but in my opinion this would be very enjoyable to play, either during big LANs in your basement or even for MLGs tournaments.

This is just an idea I had and if you are at all interested let me know!

Thanks for reading!

--I wanted to get the communities opinion on this one, I thought it was worthy.

Please leave me your thoughts!

Thanks!

hell yeah streak for the cash is awesome, and it would definitely transition to LAN's really well.

Sounds cool, but i dont see it happening soon, only because it would involve alot more work and we dont even have fantasy between friends yet, or just basic picking of games.

I love the idea, but i think it will take a long time to implement.

It actually wouldn't take to much work to get this going in some sort of test form. One of the community member could even take it upon themselves to get a version of this up and running in a thread. Of course you wouldn't have to have prizes but a version of this could easily be put up and tracked by a dedicated member who is willing to show some TLN love. It would be a great way to help this great community.

Might even be more convincing to Mr. P to put up if he saw members were getting into it and figuring out how it works. Less work on the guy in charge if we tested it out for him.

EDIT: I would be willing to help out if some member is willing to give it a shot. I think it might be easier if more than one person got involved.

I would definitely be willing to help out in any way I can, but I am not really sure how to go about doing this lol. If anyone has some ideas message me.

i say we just make a thread come lan time with a bunch or questions then each person post their answers and we see in the end.

That might be ok for the first trial or whatever, but i feel like this could have its own section in the fantasy tab.
