Strikes me this is a lot like the vision Dave Georgeson had for T2 - only, backed by Valve's independance and resources, it has actually achieved the vision. While Steam brings abstraction of the arcane tedium PC games have traditionally been saddled with, the Steam Community brings a brilliant mechanism for making multiplayer stuff really happen. Being able to "follow" a fellow clan member to a server from within or without Steam, or a Steam game, is just fab.

So if you are playing any Steam games and you like the RDers you have gamed with, feel free to ask for an invite. Our community is a long established one, and we have no time for immature idiots - but like-minded folk will always find a spare seat and a welcoming beer passed across the table.
