In case You missed ART

[IceGladiator]

There are some changes that were made to the admin 101.

Admins please check MOD eG private to see the updates!

Servers were down today. They were restarted, and not everything is up and running, please bare with us as the tech team repairs the servers.

Make sure to check the calender for updates on events.

Also, we will be going through another name change, this name will be the

FPS:X Division
​

Credit to this name goes to Artimus.

The thought behind this name is that it gives us full ability to go into any FPS game.

We will keep you all updated as things progress.

Thank you, all for your dedicated support to the MOD division.

Hey I find it better than anything else suggested. Thanks artimus

The X makes everything sound cool! I like it.

I don't like the name- that being said, there is nothing one can do about that anyways. Am wondering, was that name voted on during ART or something?

Because of a few squeaky wheels the name poll was closed. The idea of the poll was to have a fruitful discussion from our members about how best to name our division for future growth. We would like to thank everyone in the division for their constructive input. With that being said the topic of the name FPS:X, suggested by counsel after the poll was closed, was well received from the division in the last admin round table. For the last six months MOD has been the testing ground for HL2 mods as well as Red Orchestra. The name First Person Shooter Experiment FPS:X will allow us to expand out of the HL2 engine into newer games. We will continue to support insurgency but with the release of Crysis2 next month, leadership has decided to move forward changing MOD to FPS:X.

Just making sure that the division had a say in the matter- I had to miss ART for class- be it in ART or elsewhere, since I would be extremely disappointed if this had just been a leadership-only decision. Thank you for the clarification. While I will still continue to disagree with the name choice, as long as division members agreed with it, there is nothing I can do and I will abide by the majority decision.

I like the name because it will make the division more versatile by opening up the number of shooters we can possibly support.

 

[extremelyhotsauce]

It makes us sound bad ass.

 

[Rokonader]

I preferred TAC, FPS:X sounds a bit cheesy. But, when said FPS Experiment, it sounds cool.
Anyway, read the update on eG forums.

love the crysis idea now

Regardless of division member's and divisional leadership's choice, organizational leadership has the final say on what this division is named.

That said, we try to give the division as much of a voice as possible in such matters. The poll, as Burt mentioned was closed because of a few squeaky wheels. As unfortunate as that was the thread was never intended to be the sole nor the supreme authority on the matter, but to provide leadership with feedback so that we could make an informed decision.
