**UPDATE**
Epic now gives you 29/30 events on all characters within the game. Play one event as defined below (play a public match of any game type) and you will get the achievement. I have tested this with a new account and was able to get the achievement.
**Archived Information**
In order to earn the Socialite Achievement you are required to play in 30 seperate & unique Gears of War 3 Events. The events so far have followed a pattern of every week and cycle the same 35 (or so) events. If you have already won the ribbon or played that event you will not get another ribbon or get credit for that event. Some of the events are shown on the Calendar & Events on the main menu, but Epic does not seem to update this page on a regular basis. During most events, you only need to play a quick, ranked or private match (Beast, Horde or Multiplayer) resulting in receiving a ribbon for that event. It is no longer required to play a specific playlist.
Important Notes:
The events cycle, don't know right now if it is random.
If you received the ribbon for an event, you cannot get it again.
Events 1-35 is the original list I created of cycling events (Main Events).
Listed are the past events, I will no longer keep this updated do to the lack of structure and order that Epic is providing.

If you were on the fence about starting Gears 3's achievements because of War Supporter, do it NOW. Now is the best and possibly last time to do it if they change this.
Does anyone else find it a massive coincidence that they did this at Halo 4's launch instead of weeks or months ago? I think the supposed "hand-written letter" he says he received is a lie.
NEW INFO: SUPPOSEDLY (see above) some genuinely frustrated gamer sent PetNub (the guy who changes the events) a 2-page handwritten letter. Because of this letter (or maybe this was already in the works and the "letter" is a ruse), PetNub has bumped ALL players to 29/30 events, so that the next event that counts for you will onyx War Supporter for you.
It doesn't reset which events you've participated in, so you'll still have to wait for an event I.D. you missed to pop your 30th event and the achievement. See below for more details about event I.D.'s.
For new players, this means you'll start with 29/30 and the very first online match you play will give you 30/30 and Socialite.
For rest of original post, see below:
Up-to-date info: This is a long read, but if you want to UNDERSTAND the event system (as best as it's currently able to be understood) please read this entire post BEFORE replying to the thread.
Groundrules:
1. Understand that the Event name and the Ribbon name do not matter. TThink of it this way: their server recongnizes the event from Week 1 as '##Event##01/35' for instance. Week 35 would be '##Event##35/35' in this manner. Since they cannot repeat event 1, the cycle is 34 events. Event numbers 36-69 will be repeats of events 2-35 as far as the server is concerned. Then event 70 will start the cycle for a 3rd time if we get that far.
2. You CANNOT get credit toward War Supporter more than once for each unique event I.D. For instance if you played during Event 2, then Event 36 would not count for you since it is a repeat of Event 2's unique I.D.
3. If you're just starting Gears 3: DO NOT MISS MORE THAN FOUR EVENTS, or you will be forced to repeat the cycle, since if you miss more than 4 events you won't be able to hit 30 events played within any one 34 event cycle. Cycle 1 was 35 events. We can't repeat event 1 so we're down to a 34-event cycle now. Therefore, I would suggest not missing more than 3 events just in case, if you're just starting this game.
4. They aren't consistently starting events on Friday mornings anymore. As of Sep/Oct 2012 the past couple events have taken 3-5 weeks to change. Check this forum or the event twitter religiously, or play 2-3 games a week: one on Wed, one on Sat, and possibly a third on Mon, just to make SURE you don't miss an event.
5. At this point you have to ignore the event and ribbon names and focus on which event #'s in the 34-week cycle you've played.
I'm posting the events in the same format as the event calendar thread here and will update it continuously and as promptly as I can when new events are up.
Cycle 1, events 1-35 (ended)
Cycle 2, events 2-35 repeated (in progress)

EASY TO GET THIS NOW IF HAVEN'T PLAYED TOO MANY EVENTS!!!!!
As of today, 11-07, Everyone is set to 29 of 30. All you have to do is get one more ribbon for an event you don't have and you get the achievement. Start up the game, play a public match, any match, any game type... ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! (unless you have already played the current event...if that is the case, wait for the next event...either way, you are at 29/30!)
UPDATE November 14th 2012: The event has now changed, so hopefully this will allow the others that could not get it before to unlock it. Good luck!
I was at 10 prior to turning it on today. Now, I have the achievement. Jump on it while it lasts!
XP Note: Those that have a low number of events will see a nice XP bonus when they play their public game, as you get credit for the bonus ribbons at the end of the match!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Peter Knepley, Epic Games - Peter Knepley ?@PeteNub
A cool guy sent me a 2 page handwritten letter about War Supporter so I've given everyone a minimum of 29 to catch up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A big thanks to the person who took the time to send out a 2 page letter regarding this achievement! Everyone is now on even ground, so the people that didn't get the game early before it was patched, or get the DLC and do the glitch before that was patched, have an even chance of getting the achievement. Thanks Epic for realizing the mistake!
Thanks to Dat Boi Treezy for the video!

The Socialite Achievement is tracked by keeping a log of 35 unique event ID's. To Onyx the War Supporter Medal and unlock this related achievement you have to get 30 of these unique event ID's.
The first cycle spanned 34 weeks with week 2 having no event and an extra event being awarded if you earned 1 in week 13 and the two in week 14 (for a total of 4).
The second cycle started on May 18th [Spun77xLucky Stricke's Event Guide on X360A] this is equivalent to week 3 in the original cycle so event #2.
When it comes to earning progress towards the Warsupporter medal it's not the playlist itself or the ribbon itself. But the event ID#.
ID# 1 was locked in TU4 for the Flamming Retro Lancer. It is no longer in rotation and therefore can not be earned. So cycle 2 is a 34 event cycle.
The ID#'s are based on the weeks or playlist durations IT IS NOT RANDOM. So you have to play in weeks in the cycle that you didn't play those weeks the first time around. As Tuesday June 19th, 2012 we are on the equivalent of week 8 which is event ID# 7. If you haven't gotten anything these past few weeks its because you played Gears 3 every weekend for the first 8 weeks of release.
So let us re-cap. If you're wondering why you didn't get an event ribbon this week or any other week it's because you have allready logged the unique event ID into the system. The playlistsand ribbon names themselves do not matter its all about the week they correspond to. For example event ID #5 and event ID #6 in cycle 2 shared the same ribbon name "Judgement" but it didn't count as a single event towards Warsupporter.
It should also be noted that only during Gearsmas in the original cycle did we have weekday events count towards Warsupporter. So back when BTTE and Stranded KOTH etc were weekday events they didn't count. Don't confuse playing with these with the actual weekend events. Although now for cycle 2 weekday events are counting towards Warsupporter. So try and jump in Monday - Early Thurs (EDT) for an event and then Late Thurs - Early Monday (EDT) for another if we happen to get double events a week again from an issue at EPIC. Sorry to those who can't play during the weeks or happen to go on vacation/holiday as you can now end up missing two event ID's a week.
This also means that that for most players the Warsupporter medal is not Prestigable/Re-Onyxable. I myself Onyx'd it 19 times. It has no physical cap to it like Fortification Master does but the glitch to make a ribbon you allready logged count multiple times only existed Pre-TU1 and in the first two weekend events after the release of the Horde Command Pack and only worked for those with the DLC installed. These two weeks were event #6 and event #7. Keep this in mind if you did have the HCP and ended up getting a few more event counters then normal because you may beable to log more unique ID's then you thought and thus giving you a little more breathing room on missing events.
Still I would not recommend for anyone who can't figure out what events they missed to miss any events at all. But a max of 4 can be missed in cycle 2 to get the 30 required if you didn't have any when we began the cycle. |

*UPDATE 14th November 2012:
A new event ribbon has been added. This means that anyone unable to get the achievement, since they already had the current event, will now be able to get it by playing pretty much any multiplayer match. Thanks to Est3rnoKl3id0 for that info.
PLEASE READ!
As of 7th November 2012 (UK), this achievement is being made easily obtainable. Basically, all you have to do is load up your Gears 3 disc, and once you pick your save storage method and you're at the main menu, you will automatically be given how ever many events you needed to take you up to 29. For your last event all you have to do is play a Quick Match Team Deathmatch game, even if you join halfway through. You could probably play any multiplayer game, but this is the one I chose. The achievement will pop at the end of the match. Enjoy your very easy 70G!
This isn't a glitch, but I'm not sure why Epic have decided to pretty much give away this achievement. I'm guessing that they're probably scrapping the Events altogether so they're giving everyone a fair chance to get it, but I can't confirm this.
NB: I got this achievement on the 8th November 2012. All information was correct at the time of writing, but i'm not sure how long this will last. Get it while you can! |
