‡NEWS WORTHY OSA NEWS‡





Yet Another Small Update Tuesday, 20 July 1999. 17:22pm

Just a quick little report here. Thanks to [ ]Blah•OSA for pointing out all the typos here. They have been fixed, hopefully. But if you see anymore, please let me know so I can fix them.

I also added a message board to the page. We had one when the page initially started out back in the days of FortuneCity and Xoom, *[]SpOOkY•OSA•J shudders remembering those ghey and slow servers, but it shut down on us and I jsut got us a new one. So post away people, anything and everything is open for discussion. Just watch the profanity and the flaming. Don't be lame or I'll ban your ass from posting there. Just be mature and exercise some tact and some discression. Try and keep up the clean and respecable name of l'Ordre de la Salamandre d'Argent

Small Update Monday, 19 July 1999. 17:16pm



Well, nothing much really to report other than I added a bunch of clan URLs to the link page, added a Rants page, and also started the Special Projects Page, where maps and other TF related stuff made by our members will be showcased. Some more small updates are planned for the next few days, so keep watch here and come back often.

New Site and an Update Wednesday, 14 July 1999. 21:24pm



Yeah, yeah, yeah...that's right damnit, I finaly updated the OSA page. Unbelievable, eh? Yeah, I bet you're all amazed. Actually, I quite amazed myself too. Atually sitting down and spendig hours and hours doing the HTML thing and the Photoshop thing. I made some new graphics, did away with the War Gods font, and just plain out simplified everything. No more fancy looking Java graphic buttons in the Menu, and no more super huge and long loading header graphics on each page. Just plain ol' HTML power baby. Anywho, as you can all see, we are on planetfortress.com. No more of those ghey ass menu bars at the top of the screen like we got at Xoom. This move is permanent, and we should not be moving unless for some odd reason planetfortress.com falls down and can't get up. We'll be here for a while.

At the moment, I would like to welcome all the new people to OSA that have come since the last update, way back in February. You know who you all are, and I am not gonna spend a lot of time naming you all. =� Anyway, if you got the mad skillz with Flash 4.0, come talk to me. I am lookin for someone to design another kick ass Flash intro for our new site. Lets see if any of you out there can out design what Adrenaline did at the Xoom site. Oh, and Adrenaline, if you wish to do another one, using the same music as last time, go right ahead. It'd be a very welcome thing.

Welp, there will also be a new feature here at the OSA site coming really soon. I will be having a small section on the site here devoted to maps that our members have designed. Already I have a map designed by [Pi]Carnage that just owns for 1 on 1s and 2 on 2s. I honetly believe that it could come to replace sq1 as the standard for 1 on 1s. This will be the map that OSA will use to tryout newmebers in a 2 on 1. Also, we have a pyro only map designed by -=SD=-Shade. This map is just sweet 'cause you can only play Pyro. The napalm is flying in this map and it is hotter than hell. So bring on the asbestos underware and check it out. Very good for pyro 1 on 1s with caps. Very nicely designed and layed out. Ya gotta love it. I did. Write ups on both of these maps will be coming soon from the creators and as soon as I get them, the page will be up to download them. So, if you got the mad map making skillz and you want to see a map here, bring it on. I am. I got a map of my own in the planning stages that will be going into production as soon as my 13 gig Western Digital hard drive is in, and my system is operational. So watch out for it.

Welp...that's it for now. I am gonna sign out and upload this thing. See ya on the fragging field peeps.

P•S• One more thing...don't forget the OSA IGL 5 on 5 match that we have every Thursday. If you're interested in playing, swing on by our IRC channel #osa on gamesnet at 9:30pm EST/6:30pm PST. Be there or be square. Also, the first 4 people there (yup, I am the first so neener neener neener) will get to play. Those left will have to sit out, or 1 or 2 can spec in case we loose somebody.

Well...that's it for real. Peace out my brothas and sistas.



Napalm..............ph33r it!!!!
