For those who regulary joined group chat I would recommend you join the Neuromancers Public group chat, and for those who just played on SG servers I would also recommend playing on the Neuromancers servers. Many of us has already done so, so if you liked the [SWE]Games- NS2 community please join us: http://steamproxy.com/groups/Neuropub

It has been an awesome year for [SWE]Games-, the community has grown and the playerbase has steadly increased through out the year.

We have started new game modes for our community like RO (Regulars Only) where we let regular players who play on our servers BITG and CS get down and duke on each others on a completly separate server called RO.
We also tried Combat mode but it didn't attract as much attention as we'd hoped for and we scratched that. Who knows, it might make and entry another time or some other mod will be created in the upcoming year.
We had our first little tournament for [SWE]Games and personally I missed alot of it (life happend alot then), but I belive it was an good, first tournament for the community and it would be my beliving we'll see more of that in 2014.

We have had amazing people helping out with various things. Upholding a good attitude on the servers, helping rookies (remember all the sales?), ideas and imput that has been implemented and others didn't cut the case. We also have had mod creations of various things, some have been succesful and some others the community didn't really like and has been taken away.
But I love the new ideas, the innovations people come up with and we're always open for new ideas!

Natural Selection 2 as a game has really evolved this year, and have had amazing patching and implementations, some perhaps was too much for the game, others have been scratched but overall, I at least feel, Unknown Worlds has made NS2 into an amazing game and has balanced it out very well!

Thank you, for making this community a blast to work with and thank you for taking your time to make our servers the best NS2 servers there is!
So now I really hope that you lot get an awesome christmas and a superb new year, with alot of warmth, love, friends, new people and alot of happiness and I'll see you next year, with even more ideas, more slaugthering of khraa and even more biting of those marine ankles and butts!

First things first, we seem to have almost scrambled up 5 teams. This is great news!
I do however have two things, which was stated already, on my mind.

First of! You, from now on, have to be hanging around in the [SWE]Games Steam chat. Failing to be unreachable will exlude you from the tournament, this is so we can contact each and everyone, and for you to do and show us a good gesture.
EDIT: Contacting admins/moderators before 20th october and telling us that you're still interest will work aswell!

Secondly, we have the rights to change around people, as already stated. Not saying we will, but I don't want anyone acting suprised if it would come down to it.

My next update will be about sorting out anyone not being able to show the good gesture about being in our Steam chat, and it will also include more actual information on what, where, how, why and all that good jazz you want to know about the tournament.
I do however want you to start brainstorming about having a Captain, whom will be the one we talk to on behalf of your team. And do also start thinking about naming your teams.

Haven't joined in yet? Well, here's the SIGNUP[docs.google.com]
EDIT: We've locked the google spreadsheet so if you want to join up, contact me or any other admin/moderator in our Steam chat.

We've, preliminary, made the first tournament day 27.10.13, so cancel everything else on that day! (It will replace RO.)

That's about it for now!
