9men

On 28th October we played 9m. 9m ended up beating 9m on cp_mach4, but 9m managed to claw back a victory on pl_badwater (stopwatch mode). Well played everyone, especially the 9m players.

On 30th October we played QA (plus ringers), losing on cp_badlands. The second map granary had to be abandoned, hopefully everyone will get a better game next time.

On 2nd November we played eT in our remaining ETF2L season 2 game. We lost 3-1 on cp_well, but won 7-5 on ctf_mach4. This means we will almost certainly be relegated to division 5 next season, pending any re-shuffling as folded clans are removed and new clans introduced.

With our remaining league games now finished, we’ll be arranging some friendlies to keep in good shape before the next seasons start. Thanks to all 9m players who have played league games this season.

On 21st October we played Dice Reloaded in our final WPTF2L Season 3 game. We drew 4-4 on pl_hoodoo_b2 (with d:R^ capturing the final point in a tense overtime), and drew 2-2 on cp_well. It was a really close match overall, thanks to all concerned. Also, thanks to the WPTF2L team that run the league, it’s a shame that many other clans haven’t managed to finish their game on time so we don’t know what league position we’ve ended up in yet.

On 23rd October we played Malevolent Monkees in a 6v6 friendly. We won 9-2 on ctf_mach4 (their first go on the map) and drew 4-4 on pl_badwater (non-stopwatch mode). Thanks for the game guys, always a pleasure.

Our remaining ETF2L game remains to be scheduled, so we’ll be playing some friendlies soon. We’ll also hopefully be taking part in the 8v8 CFL league.

On Tuesday at 8:30pm we have a 9m v 9m internal friendly scheduled, if you’re in 9m or are affiliated with us in any way come and play! We’ll be playing ctf_mach4, you can download it from here (down at the bottom of the page).

Thanks very much for the game last night Malevolent Monkies, it finished 5-0 to MM on cp_granary and 3-1 to MM on cp_well.

We don’t have a friendly planned for this sunday, however next week the ETF2L season 3 starts so we will be arranging our game against Lulz Team as soon as possible.

After a few of their players experienced connection problems we agreed to postpone Thursday’s game against Super Squirrels to a later date. This evening we played Nervous Energy, and won 6-3 on cp_gravelpit and 7-1 on cp_badlands. Thanks very much for the game guys.

Our next friendly is against Malevolent Monkies on Thursday on cp_granary and cp_well. Hopefully we’ll be able to arrange a friendly match on the new map, Badwater Basin, for Sunday.

In league news we have been preliminarily placed in Division 4 for ETF2L season 3.

On Thursday 14th at 8:30PM we play a new clan called Super Squirrels on cp_well and ctf_2forts. On Sunday 17th at 8PM we play Nervous Energy on cp_gravelpit and cp_badlands.

Also in the news, we have a confirmed date for the Heavy update; Tuesday 19th August. Along with the usual unlockable weapons and achievements there will be new maps, one of which has already been confirmed as cp_steel. There will also be a new gameplay mode, which presumably some or all of the new maps will incorporate.

As you may have noticed recently, we’ve been playing some of the custom Team Fortress 2 maps on our public server. These can be downloaded from the server, but if you wish to get them beforehand then you can find most of the popular ones on Vilepickle’s Team Fortress 2 Maps page.

Many of them will be familiar to people who played Quake 3 Fortress, if you get lost just ask!

We’ve been placed in division 2 of the first EDTF2L season alongside [BoD], [CpC], Anomaly, ^wotr^, -UWE-, mb` and |RUSH|. No, I’ve never heard of any of them either! You can see the full table on the league page.

Our first match is against [BoD] on cp_dustbowl, at 9pm on the 15th of November, so we have a week in hand to sort out the finer details. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions, it’d be nice to have some input from everyone!

Let’s start as we mean to go on!

Edit Due to a balls up by the ED admins, the season actually begins this Thursday the 8th of November. *sigh*

We are now signed up as a clan on Enemy Down. In order to play in the TF2 League, we need at least 8 members signed up and added to the clan roster. Once you’ve registered let me know your username and I’ll do the rest.

You must find out your Steam ID (details on how are here if you’re unsure) and add it to your profile. Please do this ASAP, as without it you cannot play in any official matches!

The new 9m page is up and running hopefully the site will start to fill with some actual content over the next few days
