Hell freezes over

3 months ago FakkelBrigade Green was formed. At the time I gave them 4 weeks, which is the average lifespan of an ‘FB2′ team. Surprisingly, they’re doing quite well in division 4E, holding 2nd place at the moment. Could this be the first, stable new FB team?

Namedrop of the month

There’s a bit of a controversy around a recent ban on ETF2L on some div 7 shitnerd called ex.quad. According to gryzor, the whole thing was a setup by him, to show the ETF2L AC admins will ban someone who is not cheating. It’s interesting to see how the ETF2L is going to explain this mess, but will see it soon I guess.

For some weird reason, gryzor got banned from ETF2L for this little stunt, which has made him quite pissed, luckily, he’s got friends in high places.

Robin Walker (the Valve guy) has been around quite a bit since the old QWTF days (Anti-Cheat in the TF-server itself was implemented in ETFL (the first league, you know — THE ONE I STARTED)) and I’ve had sporadic e-mail conversations about the good old days and things TF2 on and off. I think, unless D2M makes things right really soon, that’s the path I will have to go to try and rectify this situation. I can’t watch Valves good name and poor Robin getting dragged down in this pile of crap due to pure and sheer mismanagement, incompetence, panic-actions and other childish shit over an article. I really didn’t want to take this path, since prizes for people could get jeopardized, but after this, I see no other choice but to take firm and concrete actions. It is your own inability to manage the situation in a proper manner that brought this one on you.

Dear dunc

Dear dunc,

Sorry about the mixup the other day with the ESH cup. We would have liked to play a proper match against you, but unfortunately you didn’t have a team.
To clear up any misunderstandings, you can read our logfiles here. They’re partly in Dutch (sorry, again!).
Hopefully next time everything will go smoothly.

Love,

The Brigade

What’s wrong with you people?

February search strings

Poor Psunfragga surrounded by ’sexy penis’, ‘kilt penis’, ‘good penis’, ‘nice penis’, ‘naked men penis’ and ‘penis love’.

At least we know who’s making these searches, the brothers who aren’t brothers! This weekend they released a fragvid with subliminal images of Torden’s johnson at 6m06s. If we were aware of the pornographic nature of this ‘fragvid’ we wouldn’t have hosted it.

Everyone wants to see Torden's healbeam

But(t) sex sells, in 36 hours we’ve transfered 300GB worth of Torden’s healbeam.
