That is our goal. We're aiming for a high teamwork low drag PR experience, which was commonplace on TacticalGamer and something all of us would like to foster again even in TG's absence.

In this case, I will pass this on to the rest of my members. Expect us in for seedings soon! :)

SaXoni as an admin? God help us all ;)

No, to be honest, I really hope you can bring that old TG feeling back. Something I really like is the missing of Reserved Slots and that you dont kick for members, like TG.

Be sure, I will visit you in the next couple of days!

The server started Yesterday i believe and is still going now.
Just a FEW things
1. Voting is still enabled allowing people to set votes for maps which can get repetitive and boring
2. You should give general population the ability to !cm IF you're kicking for mumble
3. Even though it is early you have few EU admins and hence at this kind of time when the server is still active there are no admins. Although that probably doesn't matter because i don't think its supposed to be a EU server :P
4. There is no 4 :P otherwise its good

I wasn't on last night but i got up early this morning and decided to play and we got it reseeded for the EU community and apart from a few hic-ups it has been running fine. The ping is also quite reasonable for EU population and I've experienced very few problems. The teamwork has a way to go but tbh that takes TIME and so far the level is quite high despite a very short life span.

We're aware of most of the issues that has already been stated and we're going to fix them as soon as possible. As you probably see everything isn't quite ready yet, but we're getting there! Thank you to everyone who helped us populate it yesterday, hopefully we'll see more of that tonight.

saX.

Glad to see the server is up. Still getting the crust out of my eyes (just woke up) but having a quick peek over on the player list via PRSpy and I see a lot of the more reliable team orientated players I've grown to know and play with over the past couple years. Looking good, will jump in later on.

Summer sales all around the web, my friend. Amazon has the BF2 Complete Edition for $4.99 right now. So I suggest you take advantage of it.

I want to thank all of the players who helped seed last night, everyone proved there is a desire to achieve a higher standard of teamwork in this community. I also want to thank Ace and CIA for helping take this idea and make it a reality.

Looking forward to more great games with everyone.

Those of you who were subject to the ping autokick the last night or so, note that it was active in error; as you can see in the OP, it isn't supposed to be enabled. We'll be resolving this ASAP.

Also, do remember that us admins can only select maps that are currently on the rotation (you can check in console with maplist.list). Running maps outside the rotation requires a server restart, combined with a head admin re-configuring the server map rotation. If there are maps you want to see on the rotation, we want to hear you! Post here or on the CIA forums.

Lol, Mumble and our server went down at the same time.

Maybe we shouldn't be using the same providers :P

For this bad boy to succeed, we need you guys to play in the server while the player count is from 1-32 players. It may suck, but that is what starts up servers.

I am glad the community likes this server and I hope we (the community) can get more serious about their pants.
