Hey guys, do you know what October 18th is? Well, I'm guessing if you've clicked this article then there's a good chance that you already know... That's right! It's the OnlineKnights 1 year anniversary! For those of you who don't know us, we're a small, but growing, youtube channel that for the last year has featured content from a variety of video games. However, as most of our viewers are aware, Halo has been the main focus of our content, specifically features for Halo 4 Forge Maps. In fact, we like them so much that we've featured over 100 of them! Therefore, to celebrate this 1 year milestone, we decided to set up an Anniversary Game Night.

Lobby Information
As some of you may have noticed, we've been a little scarce in the customs community lately, and for that we're very sorry. School work and personal affairs have kept us rather busy, but this was a date that we simply could not ignore, and so we are throwing caution to the wind and hosting a 6 hour lobby on Friday, October 18th, starting at 3pm and ending at 9pm (Eastern Standard Time). To sign up, please RSVP to the lobby that is linked above!
For this lobby, the two main hosts will be myself (Robius5991) and GryffinGuy007.
We have also decided that since this is a celebratory event, we will not be accepting map submissions to be played, but instead will be following a pre-determined schedule of maps. To pay tribute to our awesome subscribers, and the Halo community in general, our Game Night will include our Star Wars Battlefront remakes, a few of our own maps, but most importantly, a variety of the community's maps that have been submitted to us in the past. Hopefully there's something for everyone in that list. Below, in the spoiler, you can find our map schedule for the evening:
1. Star Wars: Polis Massa
2. Joust Arena Revamp
3. Driftstead
4. Star Wars: Tantive IV
5. Shooting Stars
6. When Running Fails

A Final Thank You
A fair warning, if you're not into any of that meaningful stuff, be sure to skip this last paragraph and just go sign up for our lobby Anyways, for those of you who are interested, I just had a few words I wanted to share:
"When I started this channel a year ago, its purpose was very different than the one it now holds. At first, Halo was just supposed to be a way for us to build a bit of a viewership and to hone my commentating skills (on that note, if you want a good laugh, be sure to look up one of my first videos... ouch), but it soon became the central concern of the channel. Staff was fluctuating a lot at the beginning, and although I had support and some help from friends, I was the one producing all the content. However, when Halo 4 came around, we really united as group and pushed the channel forward. Since then, we've added to our group two others; H2AK0N and GryffinGuy007 who've been a great help since, and I've got to say that I'm very proud of how far we've managed to come. Anyways, the main point of this is to thank everyone. Through Halo 4 I've met some amazing people, made some new friends, learned a lot, and was blessed with a great community of viewers. Overall, I just want to say thank you to my OnlineKnights team members, both old and new, thank you to my friends in the Halo Community (Yes that means everyone here on the forum too) and thank you to all our viewers on youtube. You're all amazing, and here's to another great year!"
