October 2010 Edition
This month has been a very busy time for our community. A lot of changes within the communities leadership structure have happened, and we have to wonder if any of these will involve Mister Adam. We would like to start off with congratulations to our new Council members, Duality and Sloppie. They have worked hard and spent many hours at tasks for our community, and will continue their work at an even greater capacity. We are also saddened by some departures in leadership. All of our Divisions are excited to bring you all their latest news and events in this edition of the EdgeGamers Organization Newsletter.
Personnel Service Center (PSC)
The Personnel Service Center (PSC) recently underwent a major Leadership change. We’re all very proud of Sloppie’s recent promotion to Council. Sloppie has been a very strong leader in the PSC. He worked hard to help create the PSC, streamline the process of approving applications in a timely manner, and provide stats for all of our gaming divisions. Now he will represent us at the Council level, as well as being the Council In Charge of the Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Division. All of the members of the PSC would like to wish him the best in his new position. We would also like to congratulate Endiment on his transfer to Advisor for the Call of Duty (CoD) division. We would like to thank Endiment for his service and dedication as leadership for the PSC and we wish him well in the CoD Division.

World of Warcraft (WoW)
The World of Warcraft (WoW) Division is happy to tell you about some things that are happening with us. There are various points of interest regarding the Laughing Skull server, with both our Alliance and Horde guilds.
We are proud to announce that our Alliance guild is quickly growing back to full strength after a bit of a touchy time. All of our busy schedules are slowly starting to converge to a point where we can get together more often. The guild has started raiding together and has gotten so far as the ninth boss in IceCrown Citadel (ICC). As we are able to get more people into a raid we can progress even further in the ICC quest.
Starting October 1, our Alliance and Horde guilds will undergo a significant transformation. The Horde leveling and raiding guilds will be merging to form a single guild under the name "EdgeGamers". We are merging the guilds to prepare for the upcoming game expansion, Cataclysm.

Day of Defeat: Source (DoD:S)
Jeod Nicely graced us with some of his knowledge this time
He would like to congratulate everyone on the Day of Defeat: Source (DoD:S) 5 Year Anniversary for our Game!
We all know that we have been having map trials the past few months to determine the replacement for Colmar, and Argentan and Anzio were our top two maps voted for, but only one could prevail, and you might ask yourself which one is it, well your wait is finally over! Anzio is our winner and it is a one of a kind, Instant Respawn! It was slow to start but a handful of faithful DoD:S members have made it to the top 100 in just one month. Stop by to enjoy the new type of game and help make it #1 in DoD:S!

Team Fortress 2 (TF2)
Team Fortress 2 (TF2) would like to start off by saying thank you to A Nurse from Texas and ScrappyDoo for their dedicated work for the division, and are saddened by their departure. In their wake Sloppie has kindly agreed to step up to Council and take TF2 and Personnel Service Center (PSC) under his purview. We welcome him and have great expectations for the future of TF2 under his tutelage.
Next, we of the Fun Division tip our collective idled-for hats to the winners of the Team Fortress 2 (TF2) League Season Two. Congratulations Butterflies: rage, tracy, steph, muiramme, purplescented, star, anefi, noobina, and kaytee. If you don’t recognize those names it’s because they aren’t in eGO. The Butterflies are CEVO-ranked clan who decided this event was so much fun they had to be a part of it.
But that’s September’s news and it’s October now. Many of you may have noticed the recent update to the TF2 game. We are excited with the addition of a trading system to the game. This will finally allow players to acquire items they have long sought. There also has been an large addition of new items for players to strive for. In addition to the usual path for attaining these items, they can now be purchased at the Mann Co. store in game using steam dollars.

Modification Division (MOD)
The dust seems to have finally settled after the conversion from Insurgency (INS) to the Modification (MOD) Division, so things are fairly quiet around the halls of the MOD Division. Currently all of the MOD servers (minus the INS League server) hold a position in the top 10 server ranking for each modification that =(eGO)= supports (Insurgency, Resistance and Liberation (RnL), and Firearms: Source(FaS)). Who would have expected anything less than that from an EdgeGamers Organization server?
The Division is eagerly anticipating the next round of updates for all three mods that =(eGO)= supports. Our hopes are that both RnL and FaS will be added to the steampowered listing of official mods after these updates. This will enable everyone to find them much quicker than before.

Counter Strike: Source (CS:S)
The Counter-Strike Source (CS:S) Division event coordinators have been working with leadership to help make events better and more fun than they already are, and we have many great ones coming up! One of the newest events that we have added are the road trips to the Team Fortress 2 (TF2) and Day of Defeat: Source (DoD:S) servers. A road trip is when we ask any member of our Division who has another Divisions game to follow us into one of their servers to show them just how CS:S rolls! It is a lot of fun, and great to experience another game with all our friends from the CS:S Division. We have also added a soccer event to our lineup. This is all due to the success and popularity of the late night soccer matches.

EVE-Online (EVE)
September was an eventful month for the EdgeGamers Corp. in EVE. First, one of our members organized not one, but two cheap frigate tournaments for our corporation with cash prizes for the winning teams. A cheap frigate tournament is possibly the most equal tournament that you can organize in EVE Online. A frigate is the smallest class of ships in the game, and nobody is allowed to fit any advanced modules to their ship. The great thing about such tournaments is that anybody, even the newest player to the game, has a chance to participate. Virtually everybody that plays the game will have the skills needed to buy and fit a ship for such a tournament. The benefit to older characters, aside from the possible cash prize, is the experience they gain in the Player vs Player (PVP) aspect of EVE Online by working together with a fleet of ships, all coordinating their attacks on an "enemy" fleet with the common goal of being the last fleet standing. There aren't many better ways to gain PVP experience in such a friendly environment.
