awesome..my new laptop should come thursday too! Can't wait

I suggest we go ahead and get achievment box server back up ahead of time and make sure everyone is ready to go for the weekend. We need to make sure we have admins as much as possible during this free weekend to make sure everyone has the best time possible. I will be out of town Friday Eve but here all day sat until my Reunion that night. Sunday I will be on as much as possible.

I agree with Randu but we also need restrictions... like... NEED restrictions on the servers... It was horrible having 12 medics on one team, I can't bear to be the only non-pryo on a team... 3-4 max... We need them now lol.

[Magnus]

Agh! Ya beat me to it.

This is a lot sooner than I expected, but it's all good. The sooner the better.

Oh, if there is a TF2 free weekend, then while you are an admin and representative of OWS in the servers, be sure to be on your best behavior.

Free weekends mean annoying kids, constant talking and the chances of a hacker popping his head through the crowd. If there is a problem you cannot handle, find an admin just higher then you, and ask them.

Recruits < Members < Mid-Admins < High-Admins < Sr. Admins < Founders.

If you are a recruit with a problem, find a member, if you are a member, find a mid, so on and so forth. The last free weekend wasn't too horribly bad, but you can never be too cautious.

Also, lets try to seed those servers full, all day, every day of the weekend. Hey... If you find a nice person, say we are recruiting... Advertise alittle (not in an abusive manner), just a quick mention will do.

Now lets get out there and do this!.... When.... the... free weekend arrives O.o

Yep. What Akira said! I agree!

Here is the news straight from the source:


Team Fortress 2 Pyro Update Week
June 16, 2008, 4:55 pm - Alden Kroll - Press Release

Valve today announced a set of new releases for Team Fortress 2, the title named Multiplayer Game of the Year by PC Gamer and Gamespy.com.

The main event of the week is the Pyro Update, which will be made available this Thursday and contains three unlockable new weapons for the Pyro plus 35 new achievements. In addition, two user-created maps are included to highlight the great work being done in the community and distribute those works to all TF2 players..

Meanwhile as folks wait for the Pyro Update to be released, the latest in the "Meet the Team" video shorts, "Meet the Sniper," will be made available tomorrow (Tuesday, June 17) at 11 am PDT along with a web site dedicated to the Pyro update.

Finally, to give everyone a chance to try the new weapons and community maps, Valve will hold another Team Fortress 2 Free Weekend via Steam beginning this Friday at 11 am PDT.

One of the weapons will be a axestinguisher. It is a special axe that is actually weaker than standard one EXCEPT against enemies that are on fire. Then every hit with it is a critical hit!! The only thing I didn't find out about was whether or not it worked on enemies set on fire by another pyro. That would be sweet!

TEAM PYRO FTW!!!

ya...im really happy its coming out on thursday...just make sure in the server: no gankers!!!!!!!

Pro tip: The current achievement box map wouldn't do anything for the pyro achievements.
