Which unions have you seen based on random things that would just make for an awful union?

Any union that's too specific that has no chance of thriving since there is too little conversation.

Yeah, I've seen somebody who wants to make a Ghostbusters union. Seriously, there really isn't much to discuss.

I think it's worst when a union has mostly OT topic, but is not an OT union.

^yeah that really annoys me. At the UGU I'm pretty strict on keeping things On-Topic, although I have loosened up slightly over the years.

Just found this, topic is over 3 years old lol, but got bumped.

Doctor Gamers Union

Never actually formed suprise, suprise. Would actually be intriguing to see, but on GameSpot? I doubt there are enough Doctor GameSpotters. It would be interesting to know how many people on GameSpot are people of high professions...

I've seen unions that have are about two unrelated games. I believe that I saw a Pokemon Kingdom Hearts union just awhile ago.

Although I'm not trying to bash the creator or the union, I find the idea of having a union about both Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts ridiculous because they are two very different RPG games. I don't see how you could really talk about both in one topic.

In most cases, yes. It usually doesn't work out. However, there are a few select cases where a union can still focus on a topic in gaming while often deviating, but still not cave in on itself. Two unions I'm Officer in are very good example of it, the two of them being Organization KH and Platformer Paradise.

On a side note, I've noticed a lot of old topics from the recruitment thread are being bumped up. I wonder if people read dates on the posts anymore? :lol:

I was part of a union called the Obscure Music Union, or something. It was very small, and we really ran out of things to talk about quickly.

Yeah, but it was such a broad topic that no one ended up getting along or mutually liking the same bands. It was really about who could be the biggest hipster, before I even knew hipsters existed.

No union showed be based around one single game. Unless the intention of the leader is simply to get hype for the game and then they know for a fact the union will not be needed after, and will hopefully disband it thereafter to keep the library of unions "cleaner", it seems many union leaders will make a union to hype for something, then expect it to thrive afterward when the union served its purpose and is no longer relevant.

Then there is one called the Bad Games Union. I was invited to join but declined. I did snt a post to it. But if a title is bad whybeat it up evenmore. the games boards will do that just fine.

I remember seeing that union. I was considering joining it when it was first formed, but because of the overpopulation of off-topic unions, I decided not to. I think it died within a couple of months anyways.

The one I didn't stay long for even if it was that innovative was the Anti Crappy Games Union back in my early days...

For hilarity and embarrassment sake. This was possibly the most paradoxical post I made on GS.

Have a good laugh guys!

Agreed.

With a name like Trash Can, you can't really take it seriously.
