August 6, 2004 - The day RSBandB was officially launched in the wee hours of the morning.
This post is going to serve to highlight some events that we will be doing starting on the 5th and moving through the weekend and into the following week.
Event 1What: Counter Strike: Source GunGame
Where: RSBandB GunGame Server (209.160.21.177:27016)

Event 2What: Halo 3 Map Making Competition
When: Entries are due August 8 at 12AM RSBandB Time/MDT [11PM PDT, 1AM CDT, 2AM EDT, 6AM GMT, 7AM BST]
Description:To celebrate RSBANDB's 5th birthday, we're gonna lighten up Xbox 360 owner's lives to keep the spirits high and are offering you the chance to win the competition rank, just for showing your creative side. Yes, we are giving you the chance to show off your Forging skills on Halo 3 by making the best map possible!
Obviously though, there has to be a few set rules:
-The map you make must be made by you. You are allowed no assistance from members on RSBANDB or outside of the community. It will be obvious to tell if you co-operate and this will just lead to disqualification.
-To participate in this event you must have Xbox Live.
-The map that you will be creating your masterpiece on will be
Guardian. Custom maps made on anything else will not be included.
Your map can be made to suit you. You can use whatever items you want at the cost of your budget. Maps will be judged on originality, creativity, playability and effort.
When your map has been created add it to your file share with the map name 'RSBANDB' and message
DeathByThinking on Xbox Live telling me that your map is complete and you would like to enter it.
