TF2 Newbs (Team Fortress 2)

Server #8 [New York] is getting an overhaul. There’s been a good deal of discussion over the past few weeks on what direction we want to take this server. This server is in honor of our east coast friends, and it’s time you got involved. Post your input here: http://www.tf2newbs.com/forum/index.php/topic,1495.0.html

We were running surf maps, but last night we switched over to 2fort to test things out. This is from the first night, had quite a few [N] peeps on.

Today we switched it up, switched to our 2fort night tweaks with 5 second respawn.. carnage and goodtimes ensued.

5 sec respawns : P

Comments? Suggestions? Let me know.

Heres a followup/update on the 12 days of 2fort.

These pretty much speak for themselves, here are four fun for the whole family songs celebrating Team Fortress 2. Big thanks go out to Koans R Us and Crouton Magillicutty for their efforts. I’d really love to see these turned into bigger productions (in-game demo, machinima, flash movie, etc). So if anyone wants to offer to sing/record these songs or is interested in doing some video work or other production please let me know. I will give out reserves and kudos if people put in time.

Team Fortress 2 Christmas Songs

Trying to catch up on some things that happened in the past that I never made blog posts about. The big news is that I have relaxed the registration requirements so that its no longer necessary to provide your STEAM_ID when you sign up. There were players on the servers that were having a hard time registering in the past, so this should fix that problem. There was a brief unfortunate side effect of having some spam posted, but I’ve made further adjustments to thwart the automated registrations. So come on, join in the fun and get to posting. Although not the largest TF2/L4D forum around we do have a great bunch of players and participants, so check it out.

We also added a category for L4D discussion, we got some videos, and some quotes, and some wild stories. Good stuff.

Oh, also we were gifted a Ventrillo server by [MLW] Shady Munky, the information for it is posted on the forums but it requires you to register. So, thats a nice added bonus of happy times. =)

Its not every day that you get to be invited to participate in something that is great. Well today is your lucky day. You - YES - You are personally invited to be a part of something big. Something that took seconds to form, but will take decades to break apart.

I’m sure at this point curiosity would be eating you alive if I hadn’t given away the topic of todays post in the title. But incase you missed it - Newbs TF2 has their very own server clan now! I know, I know, we sure took our sweet time deciding to create one. But now we have one. So yay :) Oh, and our symbol of hotness is [N]. Short, sweet, simple, and N-Style *ducks*.

… Copy and Paste from the forums …

This non-competitive clan is open to all players on the Newbs servers that consider themselves _Newbs_. Enrollment is simple, the cost is free, and the fun times you’ll have from being in [N] are priceless. Where other clans have strict participation rules, or require donations to join the servers clan here at Newbs none of this is necessary. There are a few simple rules though:

1) Be a positive player. Keep personal attacks and trash talk to yourself.
2) No griefing, racism, hate.
3) Membership is limited to 1 community clan (eg: you can not be in eGO and in N at the same time)
4) Have a good time

In order to join [N] there are a couple simple things that must be done:

1) Register on the forum
2) Post a NEW thread in the [N] forum ( http://www.tf2newbs.com/forum/index.php/board,29.0.html )

This post should introduce yourself - please include:

Name
Favorite Class
Region (Time zone is fine)
Brief Description

This can be much the same as the ‘meet the newb’ thread.

Here is my sample Application:

Name : octo-dhd
Favorite Class: Engineer
Region : Cali
Description : Your moms favorite octopus

Yup. Its that easy.

Once you make this post add [N] at the beginning of your name. At this time we are allowing multiple tags, so you can be a [N]ewb and an [ICE] member [N][ICE], or [N]{OSS}. You can remove the [N] if you’re going to play in a match Please be sure to check with your clan leader to see if you are allowed multiple tags, as far as I know most of the existing clans on the newbs servers do allow it.
