After waiting dormant for it's return, like the phoenix from the flame, it is time for 3F to rise from the ashes and return to it's former state of glory. It's getting colder, the days shorter, and the snow higher up, and that can only mean one thing - the return of Game Night.

There seems to be a revival in interest in TF2, the world's greatest war-themed hat simulator, so we should bring game night. Cloud instances have never been cheaper, so we could get a decent server going. As always, I'll happily volunteer to admin said server, but it's useless without folks to play.

Who's up for a bi-weekly game night? Wednesdays used to work fairly well. Spread the word, pass around some invites. Let's grow this group.

In an effort to move away from announcing over work email and prevent getting in unneccessary trouble when someone shoots their manager one day, we're moving to forums. Please go sign up.

Do it. :-)

You love him, you hate him. He is master of Spy-ism. He'll stab you in the back or save you from a turret. But you always know who he is, since his nick is in fact, his name.

OK, so if we intend on growing this to a casual, friendly yet full group, then we need to start trying to expand. As bad as I am at administering the server, I'm worse at administering this group, so I'm going to share the load. You are all now Officers, which makes you admins. With this comes the ability to invite people in. So, let's do it. Invite away. The server is running and well underneath the quotas I expected, so feel free to jump on and bring people - the password hasn't changed. I will go through and get your Steam IDs added to the server admins so you can actually control it in-game (in chat, enter "/admin" to bring the menu up - no quotes, of course). So far Eric and Josh are set up, so harass them to change the levels.

I'm going home for the holidays, and my laptop can't handle TF2, so I won't be on, but seriously, get in and play. Bring people. Invite them to the group. But let's keep it friendly.
