To update our list of games, I will say that hopefully soon we will be moving to Mount & Blade: Warband. I know not with which we will go about handling things group wise, but perhaps someday we can recruit some people into the dedicated branch for that game. We will have to come up with a Medieval version of our name, so....yeah. Hopefully M&B: Warband will be our next game.

IT'S ALIIIIIVE!!!

Yo, Master Seargant Ajax here. I would like to say that like Frankenstein's Monster, we ARE alive! Our pulse places us firmly in the land of suspended animation, but we DO have a pulse!

To counteract MSG Revan's statement, here are the list of games that we CURRENTLY play:

Star Wars Battlefront II
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Left 4 Dead (1 and 2)
Zombie Panic! Source
Age of Chivalry
Counter Strike: Source
And more...

While we rarely have any actual GROUP games going, we still like to play together and have fun.

Hello, folks!

Master Sergeant Revan here! Yes, we haven't had an announcement in ages, but I would like to inform you all, we ARE still a group. Seems like no one else is really interested in this group, but, hey....at least we have fun playing online by ourselves.

I also must inform you, that one of our other main members, Ajax, is getting his internet back tomorrow! W00tness! Yep, all that's going on here, later folks. Also, games we/I play:

Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
HL2: Synergy Coop Mod
HL2 Insurgency Mod
ArmA 1
Operation Flashpoint 1

And really any shooter. I'm thinking about stretching out to Borderlands. Since we mainly only have '4' real members. And Borderlands allows for 4 players to coop with each other. Caboose aka Superphrog already has it as well as me, so 2 members playing it right there. Gonna try to get Alcia and Ajax into it too, maybe. Hopefully. Anywho. Catch you all later! And congrats to Ajax for getting his internet back! About damned time....

My Loves of Strategy

Rev The Sith Lord — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:52:04 +0000

Hello...MSG Revan, here. I'm just posting a little announcement here. Nothing major, really, just a small thing I wanted to post.

I'm one of the group's top strategists....I know Alcia and Ajax are too, but...I'm gonna talk a little about my strategic mind.

Over the years, I've played a lot of RTS games. I absolutely love Real Time Strategy. It allows for thinking on how to get problems done on such a short time...in real time. It puts one's mind to the test. Anyways, depending on the strategy game, I usually either like to pull off flanking maneuvers or I go for the chain of command. Like, if I were playing a Star Wars RTS, and it was in space. If there was a hardpoint for the bridge, I tend to want to wipe out the bridge, taking out their chain of command, and potentially wiping out morale, if it calls for it.

If it's a ground RTS, which is common, I usually love trying to flank. The only problem with telling people here is that they know what I like to do. This is why I try to be unpredictable. I make them think I go for one strategy and then I go for another strategy. This is how a lot of great generals in the past are successful, so...yeah. But by no means is any general perfect. I'll have my weaknesses just as every other commander on every other battlefield.

Strategy, is involved in a lot of things. Like football, soccer, rugby, basketball, European football (futebole), war. It's no different as far as the term goes. But what it's used in...and how it's used...differs. You may read this and go, "What the hell is he talking about?". I agree, what am I talking about? I've already said I love strategy...should I just leave it at that and go? Meh. Nah. Pshh....I can't help but feel I need to explain everything. Just who I am, I guess. Point is, strategy is key. Full frontal and mindless assaults aren't always the greatest options is where I'm getting at. Sometimes, they do prove to be good distractions, though. Anyways, just a small thing in which I felt the need to post.

If you want me to type out a guide of good and decent strategies, let me know.
