Well we had another good couple of matches and pulled out a 5-3 win over Cool Dudes Team on cp_well for ESEA and a 5-2 win over Northern Resistance on cp_follower in CEVO. That's 4 wins in a row for our newly founded gaming team. Our BOSS scrim team is also still undefeated in UGC as our opponent decided to forfeit the match.

Current records:
ESEA: 2-0
CEVO: 2-0
UGC: 4-0 (7-0 including preseason)

So we have two matches tonight. The first of which is at 6pm PST against the Cool Dudes Team. SourceTV info will not be released until 15 minutes prior to the match, so keep an eye on our forums and steam group for the announcement.

Then at 7:30pm PST we'll be having our CEVO match against Northern Resistance. The SourceTV for that will be our usual that you can view by typing this in console:

With an amazing 3-0 preseason record our scrim team looks to have good chances to do well in this seasons UGC league. The first official match will be against Team Abuse. For more official information visit our forums and ask!

Just a quick message to let everyone know that our San Jose server has been fully updated to the latest version of Source Mod and SourceBans. All lag related issues should be rectified at this point.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Thanks.

This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, on the San Jose server will be giving away $300.00 worth of prizes! You can get more info on the event here:

San and I have spent the last few hours fully restoring San Jose. We have removed, added, and edited a large portion of our scripts, plugins, and configuration settings. So far things look great.

San Jose has been up for the last few hours without incident.

If there are any issues at all with the server (such as severe lag spikes or timeouts), PLEASE do the following,

- Take a screenshot or copy down the error message

- Note what was happening prior to the crash (map change, uber, point capture, etc)

- Note the time that it occurs

- Report it on the forum

Thanks, and remember, have fun!

Well if you haven't heard, our San Jose server has been hit by another string of DDoS attacks from a botnet. Our host is working on tracing the attackers and pursuing legal action. For the time being they've been taking various routes of locking down our server and should have everything fixed soon. The most impressive thing has been our players laughing it off and playing through the lag, keeping our server full and fun even when idiots are trying to shut us down.

To those haters out there who are trying to hurt our spirit with your pathetic attacks, we're flattered by your moronic attempts and welcome you to come play with us and see what you're missing. Our community is stronger than your crappy botnet.

Some players have reported that there has been excessive amounts of lag on our Chicago server, while San Jose and Sacramento remain relatively fine.

I have spoken to Nuclear Fallout, and they're unable to find any issues with the server on a software / configuration level. They believe that the issue may have to do with the communication cables.

As such, they will be moving our server to a new box at 0400 Chicago time.

Is there anything you guys have to do? Nope, not really. Everything will remain the same on an exterior level.

Thanks for your patience.

Howdy all,

Over the past couple days some scammers have made their way into our public community groups, such as the San Jose / Chicago groups, and have attempted to scam various clan members.

Due to the nature of the Steam Community, and the way public groups operate, we literally have no power over which users join and don't join our group. At this point, the only way we could effectively ban these people from our group (and prevent them from ever joining agian), would be if we made our groups private.

As for now, there is one golden rule you must always remember -- NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE. STEAM/VALVE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD OR CONTACT YOU VIA STEAM FRIENDS. DO NOT LOG INTO ANY OTHER WEBSITES WITH YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS.

Howdy Everyone,

It has come to my attention that, as of late, we have a surge of bitter males coming onto our server and abusing our female playerbase.

And, as you have all seen, we have had quite a few colourful female personalities join us over the last couple months.

While i would like to point out that our female playerbase is neither above the rules, nor exempt from abusing other members, they are still a rarity when it comes to online gaming, and, just like any other member or brother, they are an appreciated and valued part of our community.

If anyone sees any players making vulgar, inappropriate, or overall disgusting remarks towards a female player on our server, please make it your duty to either defuse the situation, or ban the offending player.

With that said, please exercise common sense. Ask questions, be informed, and most of all, investigate the issue. If the particular female in question does not feel threatened, or saddened by a particular comment, leave it at that, and move on.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Been working with swift all this week while packing up. Been alot of work trying to make sure everything is ready to go for deployment. It seems as though the closer I get the less I feel as though I'm ready.

We have added the new FAVICON to the top of the website for bookmark links and such. I will be talking to swift to get an RSS Feed button for the front page news shortly.

We are also working to get the user created gallery section working. This is our next step and should have that rolled out to the users shortly.

It seems there have been a flood of scammers jumping into our community and adding various SlaughterHouse members to their friends lists.

Be aware that Valve will NEVER ask you for your password.

DO NOT give your password to anyone, even if they're named "ID Verification" or "VAC Employee". It's all just a lie.

I would like to thank Telanor for all of his hard work and dedication. It is thanks to him that we have our forums and rank and sourcebans working.

I know its been a long week without any of the system(s) but we have endured and will move forward. With the initial setup out of the way we will be working on advanced features of the forums and main website, such as the gallery section and user uploading.

If you have any thoughts on these ideas please visit our forums.
