Yes to get things started we have to build a special area for first time players to spawn in the world, this constitutes a seperate area where they can spawn in and set their character up with our Enjin site to get them all the perks they want directly. More on that when we launch. @SilentGuns has built most of the inital spawn area. It looks really awesome. We also built a special place for our member shop where you'll be able to use in-game currency to buy some hard to find or annoying to gather items. @Wooper built this. Pretty much did something I didn't even expect to be done and made it awesome. Its an underwater dome with a Egyptian-style Sphinx. Really cool idea. I'd also like to give shout outs to @Pan32 and @R3TROATTACK for helping with a lot of the back end stuff. We got a great team working hard on this server every night for the past few nights to get this all ready. My hat is off to them as I know we've had a lot of fun setting this up and can't wait for everyone to join us.

We are excited to tease you with a little bit of what we got going on with our big update to FTB Infinity 1.7. We had to reset the world to accomodate the upgrade from our old 1.4.2 server to the top of the line 1.7. So if you haven't played minecraft in a while or are looking to start playing, this is the time to get on board. We are almost done with all our pre-launch setups. We do not have a firm date of when we are officially done setting it up yet, but we know its close to being ready. So if you haven't yet make sure you've updated your Minecraft Mod to FTB Infinity 1.7 so you'll be ready at the dawn of our launch.

News came around today that Valve is wanting people to stop using plugins that give free weapon skins. If we did not disable this plugin, we run the risk of our IP becoming blacklisted. That is something we cannot afford to do as we would no longer be reachable by anyone who didn't know we existed. We are going to look at this situation carefully as it continues to develop and hope to have a solution for this perk for our servers soon. Thanks for understanding!

Scotch, straight

or 3.0 I dunno what it would be at this point. Looking for volunteers to help run a potential new event. I am also going to look for an advisory committee to help figure out the specifics in how its ran. Anyone looking to help run this, be warned its going to be several weeks of constant work so if you can't commit yourself, please don't put your name in the hat. So just put your name down and what you'd want to help with and in a week or 2 I'll set up a meeting and we'll see what we can do.

Locking this thread as it has gotten out of hand with everything. Again I will address retrying this in the future. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I have told the captains and now informing everyone that I have suspended the tournament. We are going to rebuild and try again, I will have more information on this later this week. The reasoning behind it are pretty much outlined in Spartan's post. I plan to address the scheduling and ranking issues. I am deeply worried about the racism that has been thrown on this server. While we may not have a "proper MOTD or rules" posted on the server, SG rules still apply, you guys know the fucking rules didn't think I had to actually spell them out for you. For future use, anyone who breaks SG rules will be punished like they are in any other server. Clean your act up or we will ban you.

You've seen me write several articles for the website, I've now made the process to allow any member to submit their articles to us for consideration. Here are a few rules: Must fit community standards, don't break community rules writing. It must be coherent, well worded and actually have substance/meaning. We need an image banner for the top part of the article of something related to the article itself. The size is 780 x 232 pixels. Do not do anything smaller or larger please. If you need help with this part you can contact myself or someone else to do the image for you. Videos can be submitted with it, but they must be YouTube videos. I am working on writing script for other providers but YouTube is good to go. We reserve the right to reject any submitted article at anytime, for any reason. If you abuse the system, you will be banned from it, so don't be a jerk. At this point we are only accepting articles for Game Reviews and Gaming News. I do have the newsletter setup but we have not finished the setup for that. We may add other sections in the future and will announce them when we come to them. To submit your article go here: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=52 If you have any questions hit me up here.

Ok I need to first preface this with we had a scheduling conflict and we had to re-arrange the matches so we could keep things moving. Both lil shits and Try Hard had individual scheduling issues with their scheduled opponents. As SG Badmins and Bring Back Dan had not played each other yet, we moved up their later scheduled match to this week and they played. I've told the 2 teams who did not play this week, to try to get it in this week. I've also advised all teams to not wait for me to tell them to play, if you haven't played a game that isn't "scheduled" for 2 weeks down the road but can play it now, to go for it. This will keep things moving and hopefully when we do have scheduling issues we can try to get ahead of the schedule in other games. So now that we got that out of the way, on to the results. SG Badmins beat Bring Back Dan 2-0 Team Peanut Daycare beat Team Cakes 2-0 The standings as of today are: Team Peanut Daycare 4-0 Bring Back Dan 2-2 SG Badmins 2-2 lil shits 1-1 Team Cakes 1-3 Try Hard 0-2 If teams want to continue by the schedule next week's games are scheduled as such: SG Badmins - Team Cakes lil shits - Try Hard Bring Back Dan - Team Peanut Daycare However if scheduling conflicts arise they can play a team that they have on the schedule later. We just need to get at least 1 match finished each week, lil shits and Try Hard will need to catch up as soon as they can.

Now that I've cleaned up that mess. Please refrain from any trash talk in this thread. Its not conductive to what we are trying to do here and will only further derail it.

Thanks all!

Holy crap he's alive...

Week 2: lil shits - Bring Back Dan Team Peanut Daycare - Team Cakes SG Badmins - Try Hard Just a reminder for teams. If there are scheduling issues let myself or @BlackEagle know ASAP!

I wish it was MP... Would be fun!

^This. For the record, probably the best dev group I've seen use the early access stuff has been Introversion with Prison Architect (http://store.steampowered.com/app/233450/). These guys were one of the first games on Early Access and they have scheduled their full release late this year. They had a game idea but didn't really have a direction for it, they used the Early Access on top of social media to get feedback from the players. I adopted on alpha 10 or 11 and with mostly regularly monthly updates they just put out alpha 33 with 34 out in the next few weeks. They squashed bugs added many features and most importantly allowed the community to help guide and direct the game. The dev team put out 30 minute videos showing what each update did and even teased what was coming down the line. Updating the game a few times a day is actually really bad tbh. For me if they have to push updates everyday I don't want to have to keep downloading every time I play. Either fix it one time or accept the bug for at least a week and fix other things along the way.

I'm gonna be honest, I saw some videos of people playing, while neat, I feel it has a long way to go. If it remains in an early access state for too long it may fizzle out.

Nice bump, cool story bro. Probably should have waited on FNAF, probably be a daily or flash deal later ;-) BTW, these should help: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/content.php?r=39-Steam-Summer-Sale-Breakdown http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/content.php?r=38-Steam-Summer-Sale-Begins!

Get better soon!

Good Week 1 Everyone. Here are the standings: Standings: 1. Team Peanut Daycare = 2 - 0 1. Bring Back Dan = 2 - 0 2. Team Cakes = 1 - 1 2. lil shits = 1 - 1 3. SG Badmins = 0 - 2 3. Try Hard = 0 - 2 Keep on going here are the scheduled matches for Week 2: Week 2: lil shits - Bring Back Dan Team Peanut Daycare - Team Cakes SG Badmins - Try Hard If there are any conflicts please let us know asap. The due date for week 2 results are 6-21. If you guys keep up this pace it will speed the whole thing up and we'll get to the elimination tournament sooner.

I guess I'll need to be a bit more specific in this as we really wasn't ready to publicly talk about it. I have a few plugins that have been in the works for a while now while we were working on the store. Everything is integrated and we are waiting on a few things to still fall in place. In the coming weeks we will slowly be releasing bits and pieces of it. I just ask for your patience as a few things were talked on here are planned but we just haven't talked about as its not quite ready for release yet. I just don't want you guys to take my vague answer previously as something that we'll just start working on now because of this discussion. This has been in the works for a very long time, we are close to actually giving details on its particulars but we still need to do some testing and a bit more building to get it setup. We just don't want to promise you guys something that we cannot deliver or even leave you guys hanging waiting forever for it actually show up.

After the form directs you to paypal, there should be link below the sign in box that says pay with credit card without logging in. Its kinda small and I missed it myself the other day when I went to set up.

Thanks all, we'll have some more fun!
