All members are welcome to join in on the fun!
When? Saturday Sept. 12, with a start time of 9pm eastern.
If you can’t make it at 9pm, just show up when you can.
We would like to take the 4 league teams, plus any one else that wants to take part and create two large teams, the base numbers of the two teams would be the combining of B7’s team, Pig’s team and none league players to make Team #1. Cheney’s team, DomaN8’s team and none league plays would be combined to create Team#2. These two teams would play a series of maps. The starting map would be V2 extended and we welcome suggestions for other maps to be used.
We will need to see numbers, as to how many members plan on taking part. Being that we may need to add some slots to the server that will be used, to make room for every one. So if you plan on taking part in some good fun and have suggestions for maps, please reply by clicking on the “Write comment” line at the bottom of this story.
First, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to Angel for giving me the opportunity to help where I could over the past 8 or so years that I've been a part of this group. Thank you also to all the members we have in this community. It is the people that make this place so great.
I didn't want to be the only person being bump so I get the pleasure of giving a few more promotions:
I want to reccognize Spod and promote him to Lieutenant Colonel (LTC). Besides being our very own WalMart greeter, Spod has an unwavering loyalty and dedication to our community. He makes everyone feel welcome and right at home. Spod never has to asked to contribute his opinion or to fill a need. He is right there ready to take on anything for the betterment of all.
Next is Vanquisher. Vanq will also be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel (LTC). If you haven't noticed Vanq has taken upon himself to learn to be a core server admin. With the help of Spacepig, Vanq has been able to assimilate a lot of information very quickly and is now in charge of the map rotation along with other server related duties. He has spent many hours making sure the maps are playable and enjoyable for our community.
Last but not least, I want to recognize Spacepig. This one is a special case. He became a member only a few months ago but took the bull by the horns. If you don't know he is one that brought us the OpenWarfare Mod and not just the mod but he made a New Centurions OpenWarfare mod. He has also taken on the responsibility of being the go to person for any technical or server related issues, the head of STD as he would like to say. He has also brought additional tools for the admins to make thier job easier. There are other things in the background that he has set up or is currently working on that he has done on his own for the benifit of the community. Even beyond all that he is a great guy and enjoyable to game with. In the 8 or so years I've been with the group we have never brought someone in at an officer level but there is always a first time. Based on Spacepigs contributions and continued support, Pig will now carry the rank of Major (MAJ) which he has earned in a very short period of time.
Join me in congratulating these three for their promotions and thank them for their contributions.
Every so often during the life-span of a gaming community, change comes about. It doesn't have to be dramatic but it can be note-worthy and that's the case here. Most of you know my health is on and off so to speak BUTI am here until they carry me out feet first!
Even so, our co-founder MaxRat has been so busy with real life he is unable to be around much. When I do get these bouts with my health that keeps me from being around every day, things keep on running and THAT is a credit to the leaders and members. It's how it SHOULD be!
The group cannot be soley dependent on any one person and our's is not. But when folks step up and fill certain roles, they should be recognized. That's what this is about. The first person I speak of, I met years ago now. Nice guy but kind of quiet. Turns out he isn't really quiet at all but he does think stuff over before rushing in which is a good thing.
He has effectively taken charge of the administrative end of our group whenever I am in down times and is a natural leader. He is direct but fair and has the best interests of our members at heart in all he does. Words alone can't express my appreciation but we still honor his efforts with recognition as we can.
I am very pleased to announce that B7 is promoted to the rank of General effective imediately. As I said, it is not to take my place but please join me in welcoming him to this new, well deserved position! Job well done B!
We also have been privileged to have someone I have have known for years join our group a few months back. He too has become a true friend in both online and life. He is much in demand but still takes the time to do everything from train folks to giving us our own personalized version of his famous Tactical mod for our servers.
I don't think anyone realizes how much effort is required that no one sees to keep our servers not only working but constantly being improved. He hasn't formally been asssigned a rank yet but based on his technical expertise and professional server and coding work, we need to formalize his position here.
I am very pleased to announce that effective immediately, SpacepiG is the head of all Technical/Server services for NC. What this means is that regardless of rank (to be assigned), all server matters run through him. Please join me in thanking Piggy for the role he has taken with us.
As I said at the start, I am here for the duration but as one officer said to me "If they're doing the job, they need the rank or title to go with it" and he was correct. Nothing mentioned here will mean any change of course but it does spell out directly that the duties these guys are doing are not just an after thought. It's official.
It may sound weak B and Piggy but THANKS for all you do for us. I am thankful to have you with us!
This is the first time I've had the opportunity to announce the quarterly promotions. For the new guys this is a way that we are able to recognize the contributions from all the great people we have in this community. Before I make the announcments, I want to say thank you to all the people that are activly involved and make this place the best gaming community on the net.
