Patience

I was playing in two Gears of War rooms last night, and I just wanted to compliment the process that went down.

We didn't have two full rooms, but more than 8 people on for Gears. So we communicated through messages on XBL and ended up having two rooms of 6. We were able to trade players if one room got full and another wasn't. It was just an impressive process and everyone involved worked hard to keep the games going. Great job guys!

It was also of course helpful that some people were patient and waited for their spot to open up. Patience is the key when dealing with XBL. It's slow and not the greatest for sending out bulk messages. I felt that last night caused some completely un-necessary reactions with another clan member. Don't think that people don't want to play with you just because they don't invite you within 5 minutes of coming online. It takes time when rooms are full. Go play an arcade game to pass the time, or the campaign even. You'll get an invite just be PATIENT.
