Do the people drive the culture at TTL or is the TTL effect changing the people involved?

I believe when the mission was founded, the people that upheld the culture, started something bigger. There used to be only a handful of us that were active in the TTL community. We had to drive home the message of Good Game. We tried to recruit like minded individuals, and for the most part that’s what we got. Our retention rate is incredibly high. Makes a Minister of Personnel sleep easy at night with that statistic.

However, I think that a lot of people who aren’t necessarily a perfect fit for the TiedtheLeader community who get involved with us for a few games and their attitude changes. They strive to play more like us. We’re not the most talented gamers, we take pride in what we do though. We fight hard, and we are consistent. We communicate, we don’t yell at each other. We say “Good Game” to the other team.

I think that type of attitude is infectious, and our Community is thriving. We have new people coming by all the time, and joining in on our games. Therefore at this point, I think the TTL culture is the cause for influence. By gathering an incredible core group of people to spread the mission, and keeping an eye on maintaining that culture, it has become a point of pride, a point of respect. If one of us lets up on the mission, then you let down your entire community.

We just celebrated our 2nd Gunniversary. 2 full years of forming friendships, memories, and some intense games.  We won some, we lost less and we did it with honor.

This is a picture taken from the game Halo 3.

It’s a great new feature to be able to replay a game, and pause it for a cool screenshot, which then sends it to Bungie.net

From there I download it on my computer and upload it to Flickr from which I can make this blog post and deliver a picture, I took, from a game last night to the world.

Fancy stuff huh?
