Epic and the GoW 2 community should "go out" for Valentines

That way, Epic can give the GoW 2 community a box of fantabulous chocolates (More XP and other goodies) and the GoW 2 community can give Epic some lovin' (more GoW 2 online play).

For Valentines!!! Yes???
[It doesn't have to be on Valentine's Day. Just sayin']

NOTE:
The ideas shown above will help determine which ideas can be implemented in a Valentine's Day event. These ideas aren't final. Please keep an open mind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OKAY, HERE'S WHAT'S UP:

I spent time looking at the ideas and trying to put them together to create a Valentine's Day theme. Joe said he'll pass this thread on to Rod and Cliff if we came up with something interesting and that they can do. Let's keep our chins high and hope we get a Valentine's Day event for everyone playing GoW 2 online (on and off the forums).



SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
Should it be a three day weekend event (Fri-Sun / 12th-14th) or a full week event (Mon-Sun / 8th-14th)?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Update:

Thank you for being a part of this thread



NOTE:
I'll still be watching over this thread. You know, to read future posts. To see if something on the thread needs editing. That sort of stuff. Just letting everyone know.
