New Wanted CS:S Leadership MemberView the full wanted CS:S division leadership thread HERE Seems like I (Ill Legend) made it through the whole week without a single valid knife kill against me. There were a few instances where I did get killed by a knife, but a screen shot wasnt provided or it was during a pistol round. Since I made it through the week clean, I am going to put up an extra $15,000 reward to the first person who gets a valid knife kill on Cryptex. Good luck to everyone and happy knifing. The knife kills for Cryptex will only be accepted up until next Saturday (7/18/09). The full list of rules for the bounty can be found at THIS thread All information needed for claiming the bounty can be found in that thread. When...

USCG Hammer Joins Council USCG Hammer, also known as Matt, has been called up to Council to represent our INS division. Matt was the clear choice for the position. He is so well thought of in Council that they often joked in private about creating a position if one wasn?t clearly needed. Matt has extensive experience in eGO, being involved in training, recruiting, the scrim and media teams as well as moderating forums and being a support operator. If all of that wasn?t enough to consume his time, he is also a non-commissioned officer currently serving in the U.S. Coast Guard. While leading the INS team, eGO?s 4 servers have remained some of the highest ranked in the world. The Council hopes to tap into these talents when it is time...

WEBSITE BROKEN BY JOHNT OR ARTIMUS! We were making some changes to the website without proper authority from Dominion and we think Artimus or I (JohnT) broke something. If you click on the poll or the "Send" button in a PM, it opens the PayPal page. The good news is, the paypal page is not broken. While you are there you could always donate to get a shirt! Until then, we are waiting on Dominion to get back from work so he can fix it. Sorry Dominion!

UPDATE: Servers Fixed! Thanks Kendle! TF2 Update The TF2 update just released is causing havok on all TF2 servers. We are working on the eGO servers as fast as we can. Good Luck Kendle!

Two Common Mistakes Two of the more common mistakes Admins make in the server are: 1. Kicking AFK's. If you are an Admin in-game and you notice someone is AFK and it is disrupting game play, move them to Spectator. All Admins have the power to move AFK's to Spec! If the server is not full, or the hours are not in prime time gaming hours, then the move to Spec is the right thing to do. If a player is AFK in a full server and it is not too late in the day, kicking is acceptable. This goes with players with limited classes too. Do not kick an AFK with a limited class when you can move them to Spec for being AFK. Think before you kick! 2. Reserved Classes. In some of our games, we have limits on classes. This ensures balanced game...
