Moosetracks for Swiftwater have been posted!

Changelog for Swiftwater: http://www.reddit.com/r/truetf2/comments/qlpkc/discussion_on_ugcs_pl_swiftwater/

Team forums and blog are up. Link in the group description above! Let the suggestions flow in :)

Server updated to always be on the UGC version of swiftwater. If you wanna check out the map, do it here or in lobbies, cause it is significantly different than the versions running on pubs...

Now that we are officially part of MAD, we will soon be switching to their server. We have already got and switched to a channel on the MAD mumble. Info about mumble, scrim schedules and other discussion should now move to our section in the MAD forums.
http://www.themadclan.com/forums/index.php?/forum/67-mad-scrim-team/

The new server should be setup by this weekend hopefully, and once Tundra and I test it out to our satisfaction, we will move over to that.

I think we should keep this group running but restrict its use only to announcements for scrims/practice so it is easy to get reminded :)

See you all on the forums :)

Shameless plug:
My youtube channel where I posted a demo of some of us playing a lobby that went really well :)

P-REC tool:
Everyone should install this plugin because UGC _requires_ each player to record their own demos and keep them for a period of 2 weeks after the match.
This plugin detects whenever you're in tournament mode and start a match and will automatically record a demo from your POV. It will also stop recording when the match is over.
Get the Latest version [2.0.3 as of this writing]. Instructions are in the readme of the zip.

Good set of configs for competitive play. I have been using the dx9frames config since a week now and found that although it decreases my graphics to some extent, the gameplay is much smoother with literally _all_ my lag spikes removed...
Highly recommended :)

I edited our server's config to actually enforce weapon bans. Now it also bans all set hats which have a set bonus. Here is the list:

// Blocked Weapons
"The Reserve Shooter" "0"
"The Enforcer" "0"
"The Machina" "0"
"The Pomson 6000" "0"
"The Eureka Effect" "1"
"The Third Degree" "1"
"The Phlogistinator" "0"
"The Manmelter" "1"
"The Wrap Assassin" "1"
"The Spy-cicle" "1"
"The Holiday Punch" "1"

// Blocked Sets:
"The Milkman" "0"
"The Grenadier's Softcap" "0"
"The Attendant" "0"
"Ol' Snaggletooth" "0"
"The Familiar Fez" "0"

0=banned; 1=allowed.

Plum and I featured on youtube in a lobby.
Plum if you remember this is the lobby where you talked :)
Maybe this is a sign ;)

Random Rants/notes:
1. I feel we should Fix up our practice days for different things - eg
- Sunday: - Rollouts and strategy,
- Monday: Lobbies and scrims,
- Wednesday: ? More Lobbies ?

2. As I said before, Lets use this group to share observations/comments/videos about anything - will give us a record we can refer to at any time, instead of say posting a link in mumble chat which is then forgotten :)

3. I went to the leaders vote forum on UGC and compiled a list of all the votes and made a doodle poll out of it. I will update it as more votes come in. Here is the link - dont make any choices - it is only for viewing :)

4. I have to setup the server to do a whitelist/blacklist for weapons as per UGC. This is only a reminder to myself, please ignore it :)

Team Practice times:
Monday, Wednesday, Sunday 9pm ET

Good example of how we should be communicating!

Good luck! Let us know if we can help (testing, w/e).
