Hey everyone!
Welcome to my BIOC Lobby for next Sunday, on July the 21st!
Last time I scheduled my map Far from Eden to be tested for the first time. However, I was unfortunately not able to finish it in time and therefore it didn't get played. This time I did finish it, and I'm happy to inform you that the first test will be in this lobby! (for real, lol)
Partially for this reason, the lobby will focus mostly on maps that support the Hivemind gametype. Far from Eden was designed for it and so was a second map I'll be testing. I can always use more Hivemind-maps though. If you have or know any and you would like to test them, now is your chance! Quickly, read on and get to know how to join in on this awesomeness that's about to come to your local sXy game console!

We’ll play what YOU want to play!
According to BIOC standards, you can also submit a map, whether it is for testing or just something that you enjoy. We have four major rules that you need to keep in mind:
1. The map has to be a Survival Infection map. Click for more information. Pretty much it means: No mini-games.
2. You need to submit your map in a comment down below using the following template (in the quote). Give details such as the name and a brief description. Providing links and a picture as well have our preference.
3. You have to attend at the lobby in order to get the map played.
4. You have to make sure that the map is in your fileshare by the time of submitting the template, so we can download it. I will NOT promote you to leader.
The template:
Map Submission for Testing
Map name:
Gametype name:
Gamertag of the file holder:

The rules READ, IMPORTANT!
1. Signing up means showing up. If something important comes up, let me know.
2. You may not ask to be promoted to leader. (This does not count for co-hosts.)
3. Players that are in a different party chat or do not have a microphone are more likely to be kicked. Having a mic is a lot more fun for all players, including you, if you can talk with each other and with the host.
How to join
In order to be able to join this lobby, there's one final thing you have to do.
You must make sure to send the following message to me on Xbox Live (REMkings), 15 minutes before my lobby begins:

Finally, please rate this lobby once it’s over. It will help us to get more and better lobbies in the future. (Obviously this means you also have to use the RSVP-function, so don’t forget about that either.)
That is all! See you in my lobby!
