    By RuneX, in Frontpage,


    Hello everyone and welcome back! Our November Break has concluded and we are returning to regular programming here in the AJSA Xbox One community. It was a nice opportunity to recharge and rest after a busy Anniversary Week. I'd like to once again thank everyone who participated in our AJSA 5th Year Anniversary Week festivities here on Xbox. If you'd like to check out our recap of the Anniversary Week, please check out our last article. In this article we'll be covering the latest news and updates coming out of the Xbox community plus we're highlighting the winners of the AJSA 5th Year Anniversary Xbox Raffle. Our December outline will represent the last series of events for 2018. We hope you can join us as we close the year!
    Anniversary Raffle Winners [Xbox]
    During the AJSA 5th Year Anniversary Week on the Xbox One, we held a special raffle in observance of the community's birthday. Members on the Xbox One who participated in our Anniversary activities and completed various Contracts throughout the week in those events had their names placed in a raffle. For those on Xbox who also attended the Special Operation and Destiny 'Vault of Glass' Raid Night events also had their names included in the raffle.
    I'm very pleased to announce the winners of the #AJSA5Year Anniversary Raffle on Xbox One:
    First Place - EJGarza02
    Second Place - AlphaDelta1994
    Third Place - SavvyDoomSlayer
    Congratulations! All well deserved.
    Overwatch Moving to Friday Nights
    Overwatch, our longest running AJSA event series on Xbox, is moving to Friday nights in December. Due to IRL work obligations of our host, WookieJedi, we feel it is best we move the event a day early from its usual Saturday spot and keep our Overwatch crowd engaged as the year closes. Meet up time will remain the same at 7pm EST for Friday nights. COD: Black Ops 4 will be taking our Saturday night event spot for the rest of the month. Thank you for your understanding!
    Top 10 Games of 2018 - Xbox Voting Survey
    Our campaign to determine the 'Top 10 Games of 2018' according to Xbox members continues! Our voting survey is still up and going for those who wish to cast their vote and opinion on what games they enjoyed the most. We are asking for your thoughts and opinions on what games you liked and why. We don't want this to a 'normal' Top 10 List, we want to make it as fun and unique as possible. For this to happen we need as much members of the community as possible to participate. This survey will take you only a few moments of your time. We also have some extra questions at the end that you may find interesting.
    Voting ends on December 21st, 2018. To vote, please click this link to be directed to our voting survey.
    2019 Changes
    As we close out 2018 we are looking towards the future. The closure of the year symbolizes both an end and a new beginning. It is an opportunity for us to look at what is currently in place and what we can do to make things better. What has to change, what needs to stay in place, and what new ideas can we come up with to make the new year unique. There are several initatives and other plans in place that will taking hold within the Xbox community as 2019 approaches. We are looking at matters such as restructuring our event format and organization and introducing new community engagement projects, among other thing. We will be sharing our plans for 2019 in the coming weeks.

Meet up times will remain the same despite the day change with 7:00pm EST remaining our start time. This will likely be the final weekend before the Overwatch WInter Wonderland seasonal activity starts so this will be a great opportunity to practice, play, and get ready for the holiday grind. We'll be playing a mix of both casual online and custom game modes during the evening.

    PUBG has been finally released as a full retain title, coming out of the Xbox Preview Program. PUBG has a special place in our hearts here in the AJSA Xbox Community.

We hope you can join us this Sunday as we end the week and revisit a game that has provided us countless hours of fun over the past year.

    By WITHASTICK, in Frontpage,


    5 years ago I joined the AJSA as a member much like the majority of you reading this. I had just gotten a PS4 right at its release. A lot of my friends didn’t jump on board right away, and who could blame them it was still a pricey investment. So I had no one to play with, figure I give a gaming community a try, what could go wrong! Joined on the site, became invested with the forums, and found other people looking for others to play games with. I discovered we could make a crude chatroom system with the PS4 messaging feature, and began to bring all kinds of AJSA members into it. That’s where it all started, a single man with a selfish want to have people to play with.
    If I could go back and tell myself all of the things I did in the past 5 years. That he would be a Game Officer, and soon a Commander that represents the PS4. That he would grow to think of these people on the PS4 as friends and family. That he get to run an event series that went on for 4 years. He laugh, he wouldn’t believe it, and hell that’s not even the half of it. But I think he would be proud, that his selfish want helped others out in a strange way.
    I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. Commanders, Game Officers, members, some of my Team over the years. But I stuck around, because I enjoyed the little life we built on the PS4 side. I was told once “Stick you’ll be here till the end at this rate. You’ll out exist ever Commander, watch all the Officers step away, and even see decay before your eyes. At this rate you’ll be the last man standing.” At the time it was a funny joke, born from my determine nature to have the last word. But as the years went on that “joke” got too real for me, and I got tired.
    I don’t know what the future holds. I never been good at predicting it. But I know one thing, as long as someone has one crazy idea others will follow. Like the late Stan Lee said “You know, I guess one person can make a difference.” From the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone. I know I’ve helped others over the past years, but really you all help save me.
    It’s never goodbye, oh no it’s!...
    See you later. - WithaStick

    By RuneX, in Frontpage,


    Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. I want to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude to everyone who came out in support of the AJSA 5th Anniversary Week festivities last week. We held a seven day series of events to observe the community birthday across a variety of games and genres. I want to recognize all our amazing members and organizers who made all of this possible. Everyone who came out last week and participated were all part of something unique. Thank you all once again and I look forward seeing through the end of 2018 with you. We are working on a montage video that will include all the silly, crazy, and explosive moments from the AJSA 5th Anniversary Week on Xbox. We're excited to share with you our adventures! Stay tuned for updates.
    November Break Notice [Nov. 19th to Nov. 29th]
    I'd like to make sure everyone is aware that from Monday November 19th to Thursday November 29th the AJSA Xbox One Division will be on our 'November Break'. This means that there will be no Weekly Events or Game Nights scheduled on the Xbox One during this time. This will a time to relax, spend with your family or loved ones and tackle your video game backlog.
    As always, even if we are not doing any formal events it does not mean there won't be any gaming going on. Keep an eye out for invites and/or group notices from the AJSA Xbox Club that will allow you to squad up with fellow members during the break. You can also take the initiative to set up your own group notices in the Club to find others to play with.
    AJSA 5th Year Anniversary Week Recap [Xbox One]
    From November 12th to November 18th we held events for:
    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Fallout 76 Fortnite: Battle Royale Gears of War 3 [backward compat] Halo: Master Chief Collection Overwatch Sea of Thieves Xbox One Anniversary Raffle
    As a reminder to participants, the Xbox Anniversary Raffle winners will be announced on November 26th.
    Top 10 Games of 2018 - Xbox Voting
    Starting on November 26th we will begin the voting process here on Xbox to determine the best games released on Xbox in 2018 voted on by members of the AJSA Xbox One Division. Similar to last year we will be reaching out to members for their votes and testimonials to form a list of a games we enjoyed the most this past year.
