Keep in mind, everyone! Our map reviews are EVERY WEDNESDAY at 6:30 PM EST. Please be there if you're around! We don't wanna repeat ourselves a hundred times - remember swiftwater? Yeah. None of that :D

Alright guys! With the new season starting, just remember this group will start to be active again! Please check up on it a few times a week to see changes in schedules and the such. Let's do a good job this season!

I still can't believe we won last night's game by 5 seconds

Schedule for the next week has been posted! http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/crateExpectations/discussions/0/540735426452364918/

Europe was founded in 1848 by Walker Texas Ranger when he rode a horse across the Atlantic, he called it "Eastern USA" which was eventually abbreviated as just "EU"

Honorary member: Dot. :D. I added myself in.

Due to a few anger fueled psychosis issues and insomnias, I might be missing out here and there on practices and scrims. Sorry, folks.

Hey btw, I bought Sanctum 2 as a gift in that Steam Sale we had. Does anyone want it?

Man, I love our team. You guys are awesome.

I'll be at the game today. WE'RE GONNA ROCK! :D

Good job everyone!

Scores are up. The team did well again.

Our opponent is up on the page.

Also take a look at the class tips I posted, and chime in if you have anything extra to add please!

Right, we're not scrimming against No Pants Allowed 1/25 at around 8:30pm EST. Many of their team members will be busy. Oh well.

I'll be taking a break while I handle things with my University. It shouldn't be long. I'll handle things if I can't make mondays game (unlikely that I'll miss it).

Good luck with that Pastu ;)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a general apology for not being available as much as I should have. From tuesday onwards I should have all the time in the world again to practise with you guys and strive to be a better heavy than Tengo ;) I feel horrible for missing out on our first game but know I'll be rooting for you all. Again, I'm really sorry :c

Do I need to make my discussion posts shorter? lol

I made titles for all the main players. Do what you want with these. I'll make a title for our sniper soon .


Dot: Head of Administrative Matters, Head of Silliness, Ham/Flame Commander
Miso: Planning Ninja, Group Page Wizard, Master Spider, Human Owl (at one point at least)
TangoTango: Head of Artsy Stuff, Group Page Wizard, Major Bunny
Dream Traveler: UGC consultant, Head of Speech
Amber: Head of lobbies, Feline Tactician
Kyt: Head of Super Sneaky/Secret Stuff, Master of Dodgeball
Alleviator: Pony Party Planning Division,
Rheibe: Head of awe-striking Fench Accents, Group Page Wizard,
Aerowing: Engineering Wizard, Head of the Classified Division of Crate Expectations

Remember guys, we only have 1 more week until our first real practice!

I also recommend that people try lobby without a majority of our team sometimes. Being able to hear how other people comm is also helpful, and we can't do that if we're taking up all the slots lol.

Agreed to what Dream says. So rather than checking the group page twice a day, it pops up as a notification at any time of day and wont go away until they read it..

I think another good idea would be to make annoucements on the group page when we're having meetings/lobbys/scrims/practices so it helps everyone be more aware. Including time and info etc.

There is pretty decent advice on the TF2 Guides section on the UGC website.

http://www.ugcleague.com/forum/content.php

If the link doesn't work, there is a guides button on the UGC website.

Rules are located here



http://www.ugcleague.com/rules_tf2h.cfm

Also, I suggest that everyone quickly read over the rules. There are some important things that every member of the team has to do. For example.



8.2.1. All players in a UGC match are required by UGC to record personal demos. This can be done by typing "record demoname" in console.

8.2.2. All demos must be saved for 2 weeks and must be given to an admin on request. Failure to provide requested demos may result in forfeits for the rounds the player participated in.

this is what we were planning to do, right?

I asked a UGC admin if we can use palletes of crates during the match. This is an admin's response. Basically, we should only use the crates before the match officially starts, when the match ends.

Hello!

The Pallet of Crates actionable item is not blocked in our Whitelist. I would ask that you only use it at the end of the round though so as not to cause distraction to the other team. While it is not currently banned, if teams abuse it with the intention of causing distraction we will certainly have to ban it.

btw, since I am going to take care of the administrative side of things, I'll need everyone's email address, just send it to me through steam (not here because this is a public group). If you don't have an email address, just make an alt account with gmail.

Ok, I've submitted the information to register the team. I should have a response by tomorrow 1/6/14
