First we need to come up with a name so that we can create the Steam group and begin organizing people through there...

Hey, I'm thesupremecommander, and I'm proud to present to you a fun competitive cup: The MASSIVE MELEE MASHUP! This cup won't be like traditional cups... there are only five teams in this competition, the champions of each melee: - PANZERSCHRECK (Frying Pan) - HALE'S HIPPIES (Conscientious Objector) - MOUNT CRUSHMORE (Freedom Staff) - HEADROLLERS (Bat Outta Hell) - BREAK A LEG (Ham Shank) And they're akin to all-star teams, so you can't really just let people sign up in what may be the most critical battle we may ever see! No, we must have... trials. Accordingly, this competition has three stages: [*]the Trial by Fire - all-day event(s) where you can show off your melee skills and prove your superiority against other people in MGE and PUG matches [*]the Induction - a community voting stage where the players to represent each melee team are selected by your vote [*]the Showdown - a round-robin tournament in which one team will prove themselves worthy of being named defenders of the crown melee Interested in participating? Interested in helping to make sure this is a successful event? Please join the Massive Melee Mashup Steam group for more details and announcements as events happen.

Died due to other stuff going in my summer. May bring it back sometime in the future.

[*]High Five Taunt [*]The Vita-Saw [*]Darwin's Danger Shield [*]The Bazaar Bargain [*]The Enforcer [*]Bombinomicon [*]The Pomson 6000 [*]The Phlogistinator [*]The Jingle Belt [*]The Bootie Time [*]The Holiday Punch [*]The Red-Tape Recorder [*]Promo Red-Tape Recorder

I think we need more than me and Rynjin thinking and debating over names. I'm not very good at this kind of stuff and need some help with it.

Two names that were proposed: "Syndicate of Poorly & Underprepared Forumgoers" and "Super Professional United Front". I personally like the first one but either would be decent in my opinion. Which would you guys like better?

You know, if we have this much interest we could consider doing something like two teams - maybe one NA and one EU.

Alright, that MUST be a cache issue. Clear your cache.

ian pulled through for us and has made us able to use icons with BBcode! The full listing of icons is available for you to peruse. In order to use an icon, you simply wrap [NOPARSE][ICON][/ICON][/NOPARSE] tags around the name without the "icon-" part. For example: [NOPARSE][ICON]linux[/ICON][/NOPARSE] yields Happy iconing!

Bug with the new 3D icons, I'm hearing. Not sure if that's a HUD thing or whether Valve just hasn't fixed an issue.

Yeah, we were testing a fix to blank text. This now works and prevents hidden text. Clear your cache again if it's still not working.

Clear your cache.

I proposed the idea, and someone who shall not be named proposed we put it to a vote. [The names of the innocent will not be released.] Basically, we would look to make it available to all users. As it is right now, negarep as the mods have it is pretty weak, unless an admin decides to kick you down to the curb by editing your rep manually. I don't know whether we could change that, but the likelihood is that any rep given would probably be that weak. Debate/discussion in this thread. The vote is purely advisory to see what you guys overall think.

I could perhaps play Medic. I dunno. I have played it competitively, albeit very badly, but I have a good understanding of how it's supposed to work. Then again that would not quite be fun but whatever. Anyway, important thing - we should make a good name. Maybe "Super Powerful Underrated Force" or something. Thoughts?

Wow, this garnered a lot more interest than I expected so soon... Unfortunately, I can't play this season due to something every Monday night - however, if you guys really want to play this season, I don't mind helping manage the team. Otherwise, we should just start practicing for next season when I should be free.

Ping really isn't the worst of our issues, though... but if it's a fun team we could work through it and see what we could do.

pwny is your Round 1 opponent.

You can still meet in the lower finals! Anyway, a lot of great matches tonight... Huff makes it to the upper semifinals! We'll probably see the second semifinalist and maybe even third soon enough!

MGE tournament restarted! http://challonge.com/spufpoweredmgetournament Most matches remain the same, top 4 seeds have Round 1 games now though. Happy MGEing, and make sure to be aware of the rules! All matches conducted before still apply if the conditions are the same.

I betcha Medic will do one even better than you. ... maybe?

You also screwed it up in the process. Whoops.

I came back from vacation and read this. Thoughts: 1) A possibility of me having a more-than-minor role? I don't see this ending well for me. 2) I AM THE FORUM 3) Rammite is probably going to destroy us all.

I downloaded this but never got into this. Maybe I should. Then again now is definitely NOT a decent time to get into an MMO.

Right... Cube, I'm sorry to say this, but you're fired.

Remember how I said that shiny titles had to be somewhat related to the award? Well, I dun goofed and allowed you guys to go all over the place.
