[News] Reserved slots

Sorry guys, I didn't get a chance to fix the slots tonight (as I had said I would).
Work and vodka have kept me quite busy. They will be fixed tomorrow.
Also note that your slot duration begins once I fix them, so no one is losing any slot time due to my failure. We appreciate your contributions and wish I provide the best mediocre experience possible.
Stick with us, please.

[News] Reserved Slots: Important information!

It seems we had a little goof. Somehow the slot list was replaced by an older list. I assume that was my fault.
Anyway, some people who donated were accidentally removed from the list thus making their slot disabled.
Please, if you find that your slot is disabled, contact me immediately so I can rectify the situation. I want everyone to get what they paid for here. I am not trying to cheat anyone. Contact me asap via the forums or email with your Steamid and community name, as well as the paypal transaction ID if possible.
Again, I apologize to anyone who has their slot disabled!

[News] Late April News Post Generic Title Insert Here

Couple things to address today. Stick with me.
First of all, if you haven't yet voted on the current polls we're running on some new server features, please do so at your earliest convenience!
Should the HLSTATSX ever reset? http://www.wdfnews.com/forums.aspx?g=posts&t=8059 Let us know!
Should we install the medic infection plugin? http://www.wdfnews.com/forums.aspx?g=posts&t=8004
In other news, we rotationed Sacrifist's new map "Avanti" on both Tempest 1 and Tempest 3. Please take a moment to check it out if you see it running and provide him with some much needed feedback. The thread for it is here: http://www.wdfnews.com/forums.aspx?g=posts&t=7921
You can also see some screenshots of it if you haven't had a chance to play it yet.
We're expecting a major TF2 update here in the next couple days from Valve. Removal of custom tab? We can dream.
Eternal-Silence news: seems Eternal-Silence 3.0 is almost upon us. Dan Menard, the lead developer of the mod, announced that the new features are locked in and now they are just finalizing the new version before releasing it. That means soon! They have completely overhauled the gameplay mechanics and that makes me excited in the pants. http://eternal-silence.net/
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who donated this month. We exceeded our goal for April and were able to put aside the excess funds for our new server funds. You all make this possible to maintain each month. You should be proud of yourselves, this is as much your community as it is mine.
But mostly mine.

[News] Pax Meet and Greet WDFNews.com Style
By WDF? 4/17/2008 12:18:13 AM
|

You're all still invited. This is the rebirth of Penguinlan.... Except this time we're actually on top of it.
When: August 29th - August 31st.
Where: Seattle, WA. Pwnzord HQ and PAX at the Seattle Convention Center. Also, Dick's Drive-In.
Transportation: You. You have to get here. You have you buy your own PAX tickets. We'll cover everything else. Except medical costs. Those are expensive. Personally I recommend taking the train myself. While it's long, it's cheap and you can transport your computers easier and not worry about shit breaking. We will provide transportation to anyone who flies or trains in. Literally a WDFNews.com staffer will show up and load your bags into an official WDFNews.com vehicle (Currently consisting of an assortment of beat up shitmobiles) and drive you to the festival. And by festival I mean sausage fest.
However, if you're coming you must RSVP by August 22nd. We need to know how much food and booze to get, as well as how much space to allocate your fat asses.
Quick rundown of shit to expect if you come:
1. Food. We have a full sized BBQ pit in our back yard. We can roast an entire pig if we wanted to. We're going to do some crazy grilling. Sirus runs a mean BBQ. You should come for that alone. Previously Rat Bastard would put on "Ratlan" which we'd come for the games... but we'd get bored of that and eat his amazing food all day. Since Rat is no longer in a position to put on such events, we're taking over. Come for the food. It'll be fucking amazing.
2. Booze. Lots of it. I plan to be providing a fully stocked bar as well as a keg or two from local breweries. Keg depends on how many people we get RSVPd.
3. Games. We will be playing them. We have everything except a PS3 hooked up to a 56" television. We have cable internets for your pr0n. We have enough cat-5 to strangle over 9000 babies. It's a safe bet there will be LAN. Don't have a game? That's fine. We probably have it. We'll definitely be having a massive Starcraft tournament for some prize that I have to decide on. Most likely the prize will be awesome. I hate lame prizes.
Also, we can provide the following equipment for those of you bringing your own machines: Monitors. We have tons of them. Or 12... but that should cover people. They are an assortment of CRTs and LCDs... first come first served... with LCDs. We also have a handful of keyboards and mice.
3.1. Rockband. There will be drunken rockband. We have all the instruments. There will be humiliation.
Bring your own computer and anything else you'd need... especially cables. We have a few power cables and such, but if we run out of extras, you're SOL. Also, please bring headphones. No speakers allowed.
4. Swag. Yeah, we'll be giving out free WDFNews.com shirts. To some that might seem cool. To others it might be lame. I want one. Sirus and I have Pwnzord shirts... it would be nice to get some WDFNews.com ones. They will be cool... not that cafe press shit. When you RSVP, please include your shirt size.
5. We'll be going to PAX with our new shirts. That way we can pretend to be apart of something that looks semi-professional. However, we'll all know we're sad posers. Fun for the whole family. Then we can drown our sorrows back at Pwnzord HQ.
6. Bottled water. We have a water cooler. So um... water will be available... hydration... good.
7. Lodging. We'll put you up in our state of the art facilities. The perks include sleeping on the floor. The floor is wood. This is, of course, unless you sleep with Sirus. This, of course, remains his decision. No, in this house, still means no. My bed is huge, but it's only just big enough for me and my inflated ego. I think the prize of sleeping on my couch will go to the winner of the Starcraft tourney. We will also provide transportation to and from the event.
8. Bring your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife/swamp monster. We're always open to bringing along some emotional support. You'll need it.
9. Food.... oh wait...
There's going to be lots of food.
So, community boobs, I invite you to join us for PAX. This might be a one time opportunity to meet Sirus and myself... most likely because we'll decide we hate all of you after it's done and never do it again.
There are a couple rules I must also address. Please note, these rules are not meant to deter you from coming. They are simply being posted to give you an idea of what to expect and thus plan accordingly:
1. You break it. You buy it. This event is already going to cost us a pretty penny. Do us and yourself a favor and help keep costs down by not being a drunken toolfucker. We reserve the right to throw your drunk ass out if you can't play nice. (We have a high tolerance level though, so you'd have to really fuck up to get the boot). Attendees who get the boot will be called a cab and be responsible for themselves once that is done. I don't think this will be an issue, however.
2. No drugs. I don't care what you've read about Sirus. I am not allowing illegal drugs into my home under any circumstances. What Sirus does on his own time is his business (and apparently the business of this website's forum). If you can't follow that rule, then you will find yourself in a cab. See #1.
3. No fucking. Especially on my couch. Not that any of you have an active sex life or anything. However, in the off chance that you do, and you bring said active sex person with you, keep that shit in your pants or get a room. We can call you a cab. See #1.
4. When we say stfu it means stfu. We live in a neighborhood of very tolerant people. They rarely complain to us about noise and we plan on ensuring that they are well briefed on our plans prior to the event. However, if we get a complaint, we will shut your ass down so hard you will be shut down really hard... ass. Again, we're very easy going folks, so I don't see this being an issue.
5. We aren't your personal taxi service. That happened once with Jase. We will get you to and from the various PAX events over the weekend... but we won't drive you to the movies, or to the mall, or to the strip club. We can call you a cab. See #1.
6. No Rape/Molestation. This is primarily directed at Cantrip. Please don't sexually assault any attendees. For more information on the dangers of social meetings on the internet, please reference this.
7. No Murder. This is primarily directed at Cantrip. Please don't kill us or anyone attending. That would be bad. Please reference #1. If you break someone, you're buying a life sentence and a little bit of #6 from a large man named Samantha. Others will be aware of who is attending and will fight for great justice to see you fry if you kill someone.
Please send all RSVP's to me at whutdufuk at whutdufuk dot com with the subject header RSVP WDFNews PAX Meet and Greet.
You must also be planning on attending PAX. While it will be fun to hang out with everyone, you are NOT staying in my home unsupervised. Believe it.
You can register for PAX here
Also, if you don't come, we will come to you... with weapons. And not just a nail coming out of a stick.... I'm talking major shit here. Like roman candles.
We hope you'll come join us this year for PAX. Sirus and I are going. We have a group of cool local people who we go with. We eat out and drink booze and then go home and usually Sirus or myself continue the trend of eating *something* out behind closed doors whilst you argue over who would win in a fight between Chuck Norris and Godzilla.
What I'm trying to say is: This will be fun. You will be sorry you missed it. Hell, this is quite the deal if you consider all that we're putting into it. Get your ass to mars.
RSVP BY AUGUST 22nd!
