We've got something really special planned for the next 'Spy-Hunter... so special, in fact, that we can't really talk about it just yet. While we busily iron out the details on what could well be the biggest 'Spy-Hunter event yet, I'll ask that you all please shoot me an email with "'Spy-Hunter" somewhere in the subject line and your name and email address in the body text so that I can contact everyone quickly and easily once we get our secret surprise prepared. I promise I will not give your email addresses to anyone else or publish them here or anything crazy like that, I just want to make sure that everyone who is interested in participating in this mysterious yet incredibly tantalizing 'Spy-Hunter event will get full details on how to participate.
Due to the shroud of enigmatic-ness that surrounds the next 'Spy-Hunter, I cannot divulge even the date or time of the next tournament. It's that big a surprise! So, be sure to get those emails in to me at the above address (just click on it and fill out the feedback form as instructed), because I don't want any of you faithful fans to miss out!
Your Rights or the Lack Thereof
There are a couple of things that I go over before the throw down hoe-down every week, but I need to restate them over and over again for safety's sake. Firstly, we reserve the right to kick you out of the game and/or off of our friends lists at any time and for any reason – this, unfortunately, is not up for discussion so mind your manners, please. Possible reasons for bootage include but are not limited to: an inordinate amount of swearing or other forms of epithets relating to sexual orientation or mental disability (if you can't make it through a match without dropping an f-bomb or calling someone an r-tard, mute your mic), unsportsmanlike conduct (gloating or otherwise insulting other players – especially team-killing in games that allow that sort of thing) and anything that might generally make you come off as a jackass. Keep in mind, these rules do not necessarily apply to the GameSpy staff, and you may be subjected to ruthless mocking during the game itself or in the subsequent column documenting the matches (though you have my word that we'll make our finest effort to refrain from such chicanery).
GameSpy reserves the right to commit your gamertag (or PSN ID, or other online handle) to video, so if you want to maintain your relative anonymity, I do not recommend participating in this event. In the week that follows the match, I'll write up our violent little encounters and give nods to those that deserve them. Specifically, that means that I'll do a rundown of highlights from the match and I may use your gamertag in the column. I'd like to think of this as an incentive, but if you don't you can consider this fair warning. I also plan on issuing awards based on some random criteria that I just plain make up; although, some will be standards like an award for who killed the most people. Again, we are going to be recording an HD video feed of these matches, so be aware that you may be filmed doing something ridiculous or unflattering and I will take that opportunity to poke fun at your n00bness.
There you have it. At some point in the future. Some day in the future. Playing some game that will be totally amazing (and possibly not available yet!).
