Octopi's Bundle of FUN! RSS Feed

I'm alive. And we're playing TTT again!

Can you believe it???

It's been a hot minute, old friends. In fact, it's been 3751200 minutes since we've last talked.

A lot has happened in my life since then - I've moved twice, graduated twice, hopped many a job, made many a few friend, and much much more.

But enough backstory for now - I'm back. And I miss all you wonderful chaps.

With all this crazy quarantine stuff happening...

I've had lots of time to play games with friends again, one of them being Garry's Mod. We started playing Trouble In Terrorist Town (you guys might know that?) recently, and memories came back - of this group, of our crazy shenanigans, and especially the wonderful people that compose this group. And an old itch started to rise up.

Yes, the TTT server-hosting itch.

And I'm here to let you all know, I miss you dearly, and I'm scratching that itch.

Mark your calendars.

Because we're hosting a TTT reunion night this Friday, May 1st @ 7PM PST!

We're bringing back all the good stuff:

A completely vanilla TTT experience.
(no mods, no Hatsune Miku skins, and no loot box bullshit)
A best-of TTT map rotation.
Including more recent bangers such as ttt_rooftops_2016 and ttt_grovestreet, and classics such as ttt_lost_temple, ttt_office, ttt_bank, ttt_roy_the_ship, ttt_canyon, ttt_67th_way, and ttt_clue. Got any map suggestions? Throw me a message and I'll add it into the rotation!
!rtv and end-round map voting features included!

We're kicking off the event at 7PM Pacific Standard Time[www.google.com] and we'll be playing long into the night - come when you can, stay as long as you like! It'll be a real good time, guaranteed.

If you can't make it, fret not - this won't be the last time you'll hear from me

And don't forget: never trust a Jenkins.

Phew, talk about a long downtime

Long story short, it was a much huger project than I anticipated to get the server onto a dedicated computer, but now... TADA!

The server is currently running on a computer seperate from mine, but still on my network, meaning the address is still the same.

Stability might be an issue for the first few days; I'll fix the bugs that may appear as quickly as I can.

Thanks for being patient everyone.

Sorry about the downtime folks

Sorry about the downtime, folks. Been busy setting up a dedicated server for Octopi's Bundle of FUN. Once I get it up and running, I'll be able to host the server 24/7 without interruption.

In the meantime, check out this sax master

Holy crap, this group has met the 3 digit mark. Awesome. I'mma host a sweet server event. Stay tuned for plans coming up this weekend.

Say hello to our three new moderators!

octopi — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:51:44 +0000

Thank you to everyone who applied, I'm glad so many people are interested in helping out this community. Although I'm unable to give moderation positions to all that applied, another position deemed "veteran", shall be given to those who did not make the moderator cut but still showed signs of being a great benefit to the community.

Please welcome Elmchey, Black Mage, and Bryan as our new moderators! These three have been found to be the best fit to help lead this community while keeping the server enjoyable to play on. They have demonstrated their interest in helping me out since day one, and I am very happy to add them to the new staff list on the server's MOTD.

There are some who did not make the moderator cut, although I felt they deserved an elevated position to help out the community; those who have been selected will recieve a message from me.

Thanks again to everyone who applied! I love you all, no homo.

In other news, we almost have 100 members! This is just awesome. This calls for a celebration. Watch these announcements, I plan to have a special server event sometime soon.

Last day to apply for moderation slot!

Hello everyone,

After playing many games of TTT on my server, I've realized that this community has grown too large to accommodate one administrator. As such, I've set up an application form for any member to apply to be a moderator on my server!

Just click the link below to open the application. Please read the instructions carefully and answer each question honestly and to your best ability.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHFhRHJTXzB5ekwzUUVidWxhRjhlT0E6MQ

How many moderators to be selected will depend on the quality and quantity of applications. The selection process will begin as soon as the first application is sent in, and the application web page will close Sunday, January 27th at 11:59:59 PM.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment on this announcement, post in this Steam group's forum, or message me over Steam.

2 more days left, apply now!
