The Calm|7:40pm
Ok, so the
network has seemed to settle down a bit, while GSI
prepares itself for the next round with it's new hardware. I'm
working on getting our next playtest sorted out, so keep an eye on
the forums for an update on that. I've also recently gotten an iRC
channel on gamesNET.net, and if you'd like to come by and chat, look
up channel #deltabravo. My thanks to the helpful folks over at
gamesNET.net for the hook up. I'm also working on a map review
template, as I may be going public with the call for map reviewers
very soon. Keep your fingers crossed things stay stable. If you
can't reach the main site due to service outages, make sure to try
the forums, or the iRC channel to find out what's happening...

Mindless|6:30pm
Yep, that's
pretty much how I feel right now. I've been working on a few
projects over the last couple of days, and they've really occupied
my thoughts. So much so, in fact, that I thought today was Thursday!
I guess maybe I need a little sleep, huh? Anyway, I'm getting ready
to schedule our next playtest pretty quick, so make sure to watch
the playtest schedule section in our forums. Current announcements
will be made there. Also, I finished up a new link button, so If
you're looking for it, you'll find it down the left side. Yes, I
know it's a little large in size, but it's the best I've got right
now. I may re-do it again later. I've also gotten news that we may
have service disruptions this weekend. GameSpy
is completing a massive re-fit of the servers, so we can have that
blistering speed and reliabilty back, that's been missing for a bit.
So if things go offline for a bit, try not to panic...

Additions|4:42pm
In response to
some requests I've had, as well as some thoughts of my own, I've
added some additional sections to our Forums. These will deal mainly
with a better system of keeping track of when, where and how often
our playtests will take place, as well as offering you a chance to
voice your opinions on our map reviews. I'm also working on adding
some new members to our map review staff, and depending upon how
that goes, I may or may not start to ask for applications. This is
in a continuing effort to get us more up to speed on map reviews,
and their frequency. While TFC may have slowed down a bit, TF2 is on
the horizon, and many team-oriented players are looking for a place
to call home. I hope that we can be that place, and I'm working hard
to try and ensure that...
Map Makers|9:20am
This is for all
of the map makers who have recently submitted maps for review. As
I've indicated before, and just to refresh your memory, all new maps
that I receive will be posted in the Reviews Library section of the
site. This is to allow quicker access to the latest maps, and it
also makes my site updating a bit easier, once reviews are
completed. You'll probably notice that there haven't been any new
maps put in the library lately, and that was due to a space shortage
on the CDROM.com
mirror for our ftp files. This has been recently addressed, and I
can now add the newest maps. So, you should see all of the maps that
have been sent to me, posted in the library. Again, thanks for all
of your submissions, and keep up the great work! I'm doing my best
to get them the exposure they need, and things will only get
better...
