Merry christmas to all owslans! -DestroyerOTN

<3 Mean it~ <3

All of you have helped to make my life jolly through a few would-be empty years, and even if I've moved a bit on from SK, I'll always come back around to my ol' warren.

I'll be logging sporadically (and not going anywhere... <,<) on SK through the season's subsidization for the obligatory IG hugs. <:3

Update on TF2 joining the roster: No changes needed. It shall go through!

29 April, 2014 - Zacchan | 1 Comments

Yep! The thing i promised more than a month earlier is NOW IN STATE!

Owsla now officially considers TF2 a part of itself as a whole. With this change, as promised:

1. Logging TF2 counts the same as SK to your inactivity removal date from the guild on any front (site, here, SK... -anywhere-), and i will ask that admo recieve aid in this from other officers to ensure that the two are treated exactly alike for this rule. After some looking into, it should work fine. HOWEVER!:

-We must be able to actually verify it. If for some reason we're not able to access it from your games list, we'll not be able to justify it, and you will be axed.

-Due to the copious levels of micro-ing hell involved any other way, you -must- be a member of the steam group in order to qualify (but, you are reading this, so.... shouldn't cause trouble). This is so officers need only click your name in the roster to check that you've been on.

-On reflection, i'll need to ask that this be considered a multiplier for time rather than perpetuator of time to removal... from SK's list, anywho. Keeps us from going dead and quiet. Do try to log SK again within 21 more days from the check to avoid removal from the ingame owsla roster.

2. Members can now be counted if only players in, and join the guild via; TF2! All anyone need do is approach an officer and go through the rules and regulations bits... given the environment, enforcing the rules as strictly ingame in TF2 would be a mess... but we need to make sure people remember them elsewhere (i.e: Guild chatroom, guild website, shoutbox, comment section, etc.). Likewise, officers may now begin recruiting practices through it, and we'll try to get a list of deserted IPs up that we can ste-er... borrow as official owsla servers that all players in the guild will be given (but then again, being that it's me doing that. It'll be done by 2016.). Do make sure to send a group inv to them though!

3. Players entered through the previous method -will- be tracked on the roster as any normal member. Should they choose to join SK, -all time they've spent in owsla will count toward their tests for rank-, and i'll see soon about actually allowing promotion of rank in the steam group by time alone wether -joining or not-.

I am sure a good sum of you have anticipated this anxiously... and i am glad that noone has sent hired guns after me for getting this in by three rings time only to see no edits. But hey, enjoy! Now hop on that hat simulator and get the change a-rollin'!

In short; we never actually had expansion potential, since admo didn't endorse it wholly, so this pet-project of mine never really got far. Steam page here's been functionally inactive since '17, and I don't see it having a comeback in the midst of current events.

PS: If you're not already in it, Del, Caralantha started a Discord group for the vets here. It's also mostly quiet, but if you're wanting to do catch-up and reminisce on the past, that's almost assuredly the best spot.
Message her! Him... them... <,< Idk.

I just noticed this message.
Way to resurrect a basically-dead page, for one <_<
For another, I'm afraid that a lasting expansion of the group into a wider community simply wasn't to be.

Cool of a guy as Admonish was (to date he's still the chillest guild/faction leader I've had the pleasure of working with), there's a... reason he was comparatively chill - I now think.
It's about excess ambition, see. A culture of competitive gamers.
Simply said, he didn't buy into it, and it's a key element to leading any group with aims to expand that broadly.
I believe that he was very simply a man who liked playing the game he played, content to let it play out however the wind carried it as long as it would do so. Considering I found the ingame guild still running back in '16, one way or another it had a good run. ^_^
