TF2 Newbs (Team Fortress 2)

Koans is BACK! For those of you who missed his last contest, here’s your chance. For those of you who do not know, Koansrus is a beloved regular and admin on the TF2 Newbs servers. He is now back in action, and he’s such a nice guy that he’s giving you the chance to win his money (Steam bucks)

Requirements:
**Must be a member of the Forums
*Must be available this Sunday June 1st
*CANNOT be an Admin
*Cannot take 1st place if you have taken 1st place before (second is okay)

Now down to the details.
This is a test of your TF2 skills and TF2 knowledge. Participants will be asked 7 questions (randomly). After answering these questions they will be asked to preform 3 tasks. Some tasks will be worth more than others, points will be awarded for percentage completed of the task. These tasks are going to be short. An example would be : Get 3 kills without getting health… Something to that extent.

This wouldn’t be possible without Koans and his generosity, be sure to welcome him back and thank him for giving away his hard earned cash!

This one is an epic shot of Grey Devil, rocket jumped off the map basically haha (DMAN[nes])

Zoom in, take a look at the quote : )

Wanted to post this before the big contest details

TheJib…

We’re constantly updating the website, adding options on the servers and working with the forums. Some of the regs have stepped up and are helping us in this process - If you know of a way you can help, stop into our forums and let us know : ) In the meantime keep the screenshots coming!

That’s right.. Our first of the ‘honorz’ series! We’re holding a poll on our forums (if you havn’t signed up yet.. do so) We’re giving away our first trophy - Handmade.. Vintage.. Think Mario Kart for NES. Anywho, 6 of our beloved regulars have been nominated for their ability to change the way the 2Fort server is played. Stop by and vote.

I’m trying something different this time, clicking the images should bring you to a link of the fullsize image. Check your screenshots, see if you’ve got some keepers.. Make sure to include your name in the image if you want to be credited : )

TheJib…

Goldrush stats are up and running! They will be kept track of seperately from the 2fort stats. Sure you can be top10 on the 2fort server.. but both?

TheJiB…

It’s about that time - Stat reset, your chance to make it big while people are still getting their 50 frags.. : )

But that’s not all.. We’ve talked quite awhile about bringing forums to TF2 Newbs and that time has come!
www.TF2Newbs.com/forum

Stop by and sign up. You’ll have to enter your Steam ID but thanks to Octo’s elite programming skills your forum account will be linked with your steam account information (Avatar, achievements) as well as your cummulative stats on the server. Badass. You’ll also be recieving a 100 point bonus on your stats for being an active member in our forums (And trust me you’ll need it to make it to the top 100).

Along with the new Forum, we’re going to be implementing a new awards system. Where awards will be given and show up next to your name on the stats page as well as the forums. Some awards that will be displayed are your highest ranking, if you were top10, top100.. different images will apply. As well as a 5 star image if you have over 20,000 frags. There will also be special awards given from contests, such as most daily awards won in a month (captures, defenses..)

We will also be keeping exclusive stats for our 24/7 Goldrush server.

Compliments of Giggles.

Compliments of Headshot, thought this one was pretty exciting.

Plenty of more changes coming your way. TF2Newbs is just getting started.

This one’s pretty crazy. Another one of those bugs right after the update, Gggly was struck down with a beam that sounded like an ubercharge.. Haha.. Had to quit the game to fix it. (Submitted by Grey Devil)

BIG THINGS:
Keep sending in those screenshots and quotes. If there’s something you can do to help out the site let us know. We’re constantly making updates, and we have some big changes coming with this stat reset (Sunday). Keep an eye out.

Apparently when the new achievements came out there was a bug where you could switch weapons really fast and arbitrary objects would become ubered. In this case, the spy’s cigarette. (Courtesy of Grey Devil)
