It has come to my attention that Valve is attempting to spread the system of Paid Mods to the entire community. The simple idea of paying 3rd-party entities for derivative works of a game has sparked controversy over the future of mods and backlash over payment, copyright, legality, rights, restrictions, etc.

PsI Clan has and is a adamant supporter of the gaming community and, up to a point, Steam in its promotion of user-friendly and community-based creations and suggestions. That being said, as leader of the clan I am disapproving of the current system implemented partly on a moral, ethical, and social basis, but mostly on the technical and legal basis that this does not have the support and grounds to be a successful endeavor to anyone but the companies themselves.

That is my initial opinion. What I do want to hear is everyone's opinions and what PsI should do in regards to this matter. Should we support paid mods, throw it all out, or attempt a new system altogether? It is important to be more objective than subjective when it comes to matters such as these so bringing out positives and negatives on how the system could work is monumentally beneficial to everyone involved.

We are united in our cause to promote a greater and more enjoyable experience to ourselves and our community in our love and passion for gaming. Let no one trample on that fundamental principle!

For PsI!

I have recently come across a malicious virus that has been spreading across Steam as of late, sending a link via friends that looks just like the one below (I've censored the image numbers for your safety):

LoL, WTF?: http://imgur-game.com/IMG_********.png

If you receive such message from anyone, including those on your friends list, I urge you to ignore it and avoid clicking on the link provided, as it will mess up your system. Inform others about the virus so they too do not fall into the same trap.

I've yet to see any response from Steam about this virus that has been floating around the community for some time, so stay safe and be careful.

Update: It appears Steam has responded by censoring the link above, but even now, caution should be taken to protect yourself from these threats. Stay safe, and play well my comrades.

As of recently I haven't been so active among the Shogun 2 community for quite some time, however I'll be making a full-fledged comeback in a matter of weeks. Expect to see me soon!

I'll be temporarily leaving PsI Battalion to join the Shogun Alliance Clan to further myself as clan leader. As the cost of tokens is heavy, I must make some extreme effort to recoup what I have lost. I shall return as clan leader in the few weeks or so when I have completed my path to enlightenment.

For PsI.

Union of One, Union for All. We do not relent. We do not falter. We stand as one, against all odds, and when we are divided, we shall conquer.

We will prevail.

For PsI.
