Want to show some school pride while gaming? Want to rub it in the faces the pitiful masses that you made selective? Then just put "[S.T.H.S.]" at the beginning of your Steam name! Example: "[S.T.H.S.] M.C. Naughty".

On another note, Andy Phung (http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/profiles/76561198010203543/) is planning to try out running a dedicated TF2 server on an old computer of his. He is now an officer (ie moderator) in the group and will be able to post information about it from now on.

Finally, good luck to Y11 in the preliminaries and Y12 in the HSC, both of which are coming up soon!

Now that the group is starting to gain popularity, let's talk business!

Since TF2 is easily the most played game by everyone at our school, it'd be great to have our own personal server to play on. If anybody has a spare but decent computer, or a computer powerful enough to run a dedicated server as well as other games/programs/etc. at the same time without lagging, that would be perfect. Otherwise, I'm not sure of the options. I *think* we could possibly like rent a server from a third party (like Gaming Sydney?), but at what cost I do not know. It might be free (but advertising included), it might have a monthly cash cost; I don't know.

Remember: once we've sorted this out, we'll be able to hold our own TF2 competitions with modest prizes! Comment below with any of your questions/suggestions.

If you know anyone from Tech that isn't in here already, then invite them to join! The group is still young and needs more members, so tell everyone you know (as long as they're a part of our school - no friends of friends or ex-students).
