Hello, this is your relatively inactive admin Polychrome speaking.
I've been requested to recruit participants for a graduate student's research project in the UC Santa Cruz Center for Games and Playable Media.
While I don't wish to flood your notifications with advertisements, I felt that this might be of interest to many of us in this group.

----------
Frag for Science!
Study starting soon! Participants needed!
Willing to play a single-player Half-Life 2 mod for about 45 minutes
as part of a scientific study (UCSC IRB Protocol HS1201786)? Some FPS
experience is useful but all skill levels are welcome.
Testing will generally be done in Engineering 2 (UCSC campus), but
other locations in the SF Bay area are being arranged.
To volunteer please send an email indicating your experience, general
availability (days of the week and morning/afternoon), and location.
Must be at least 18 years old!
Contact Ken Hullett: [email protected]

I've personally seen a few of these levels, and I can say that they are designed very well. It should be a fun experience.

A few additional notes:
I'd like to thank K1nKy for being an active event coordinator. It seems like the group is getting some good use, which is great to see. I don't actually do anything in this regard, so if you have ideas and suggestions for events, please relay them to him.
If there are any administrative requests, such as a notification request or setting up a dedicated server, please let me know. I can't promise results but at the very least I may be able to redirect you to someone who can help you better.

Thank you for reading through this message. Please leave any comments or suggestions below.
