The GamersRequest Highlander.  What's a highlander? You might ask. For those who don't know, in a nutshell it's 9 v 9 Team Fortress 2. Highlander is a fun game mode, very different to the 6 v 6 we're all used to. Thanks to GamersRequest, BestGN, CyberGamer, iBUYPOWER, PC Maniacs and netGameRadio, we're hosting Australia's Largest Highlander tournament! PC Maniacs and iBUYPOWER are giving us a Logitech G13 to give away to each player on the winning team! That's not all though! Your team will also receive a fully paid for TF2 server thanks to BestGN! To sign up your team, please head over to GamersRequest and follow the instructions. All the rules and information can be found in the GamersRequest Highlander Forum. After team registrations, we will see how the tournament will be played. We need to know if all the teams are willing to play two (2) matches a week. If so, please PM me saying so! Key Dates: 22 February 2010: Sign-ups open 1 March 2010: Sign-ups close 8 March 2010: season fixtures posted 12 March 2010: First round matches begin.     got advertised @ ozfort, so just passing the news along! |

Game Exploits: Exploits are a pubishable offense, complaints may be submitted via demo/STV format for reviewal by the admins. The standard punishment for exploiting will be a replay of the match if admins decide it has significantly affected the outcome of the game.

So, finally, we've made it to the other side. Day by day, we've hinted at something new coming, and we've been so successful that even 1day are copying our entirely original, not-ripped-off idea. They can expect a battery of lawyers to come knocking on their doors any minute, headed by a drunk and disorderly Squiddy. And here we are. I'd personally like to thank everyone who's helped with this, first and foremost of whom is jandals. jandals made this entire fucking thing. While the rest of us in the administrative team quaffed pints of lager and sneered at our general forum populace, he's been beavering away day and night on the new look you currently see before you. It's fucking beautiful. I've not visited a better looking site that wasn't spiced up with naked ladies, and even then, they probably didn't arouse me as much as the new NZF does. So, jandals, from the entire administration team and myself, thankyou. What you've done is nothing short of amazing, and in honour of that, you are officially our 2009 Fink Community Services recipient. Wear the badge with honour (you made the fucking thing after all!). We don't have a fancy graphic (because it'd be a bit shit to make you make your own banner), but I'll whip something up in MS Paint. Everyone else on the administrative team, whose names are immortally enshrined in the Forum Leaders page - thankyou. jerm and ppn, without you tirelessly working away to maintain clan forums, we wouldn't have any hint of a competitive community team remaining. Crowbar, you've done an outstanding job in quietly and efficiently moderating the site, and while that's helped bolster a Facebook group created in your honour, I'm indebted to you for your work. clip, pugNation is going to be awesome and we're all incredibly grateful you've come on board. Futera, ns, Squiddy, none of this would have come to pass without your stewardship over the past several years. Madman, you've constantly helped tweak and build the site with PHP nuance in excess of my own piss-poor talents. Revile, the same goes for you. Everyone else I've missed (sorry!), I've already written a soppy, dripping load of mush so just know that I'm absolutely grateful for your work too, no matter how small it may be. And, of course, we wouldn't be here without the users that keep coming back either. We're a reasonably small site, and to my mind, that's why the community is so strong. Most people here have met the others in real life, or had their cricket balls thrown in trees by some of us. Luckily too, we occasionally get some real pearlers of threads... like the ones nominated for TOTY this year. There was some controversy over the nominations, and in our presiding wankery, the administrative team and I have basically hiffed your votes out the window. Despite Squiddy's ardour for it, democracy can get fucked. Hence (drumroll please...), the TOTY of the year goes to...  The question remains, of course, other than this fucking amazing new look (care of jandals) and the announcements over the past few days, is there anything else we've done? Well, yes. You can see that the forums themselves have been completely reorganised. We hope this makes it clearer what you're accessing, and lets you better manage just what it is you want to read. The mishmash forum frontpage has been a thorn in my side in particular for a while now, and it gives me great joy to see it nicely streamlined. We've also decided, on a slightly different note, to pump the general discussion thang up. We've changed the way Off Topic works - Off Topic is now, as it has been of late, NSFW. To this end, only registered users can enter the forum. The rules aren't changing: illegal shit still isn't on, but it'll remain as is - fairly hands off. Highbrow is now "Open Discussion", is open to all, and we'll keep a closer eye on it. With all that in mind, we're also getting ready to test-launch Whakatatara. HOLY FUCKBALLS. You can see under Competitions at the top, we've integrated some software into the site for running tournaments and ladders. If anyone from the community wants to step up and preside over a testing ladder (say, with a two month period?), just pipe up in the NZFL forum! The other things, which are numerous, are less exciting, so: * We've upgraded vB * We've replaced the news script * We've added an open-to-contribution "TF2 Guide" section * We've made IRC easier to access * We're full of love and puppies, rather than hatred and bile All in all, welcome to the new NZF! We hope you like the changes. |
