GetSome are looking at creating a team of map makers.
The team would work together to create maps mainly for the TF2 and GMOD servers, as well as others if required, with the GetSome brand all over them.
Head admins of the mentioned mods have some plans of what they are want, and you would report to them as required.

The more the merrier, but a team of 3-5 would be great to start with.
If you are in the team, you participate. Saying you can make maps and then go AWOL for life is not what we are looking for. Also kiddies that think they can do it, and haven't used hammer or even A hammer before, don't bother showing interest.

This is not a way to get admin, so don't even think about asking about it.
You may get a payment contribution after producing something worth paying for.

Any other questions, fire ahead!

YES, it's here.

In regards to a future Half-Life game, Newell says,  “If you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we’ve learned, [in shipping Portal 2 and all the multilayer updates], that seems like a bad choice.  So, we’ll keep moving forward, but that doesn’t necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean.”

Hi again!

So were back into the swing of things, school, uni/tech, work, bum...whatever you do... Seems this month just flew by.
Everything is running along nicely. Some random little changes but nothing over the top.


I have changed the deathrun(fun#3) server to multimod, running DeathRun, PropHunt and DodgeBall. It is now named as Multimod #1. I felt the numbers were low on deathrun and there needed to be a slight change to how it was going. So I have the multimod idea a go. Turns out its a real hit. I must admit, its great to be playing prophunt again :PropHunt
I am also looking at getting a multimod #2 server going, running zombie fortress and biohazard. so really its a zombie server. as both mods cater for a similar thing but run slightly different game play. It will be up at some stage, so keep an eye out for that.


We have now had VIP running for a couple of months now, and its still going well. Thanks to all those VIP members who are showing a bit of initiative and helping admins where they can be helped.


If you haven't refreshed yourself with the GetSome TF2 rules lately, I suggest you check them out. as there have been some additions or changes. The lenny face issue was added a while ago, and some general regulars are now permanent silence because they cannot control their bind finger. Just because you may think you are a regular to our servers, does not give you immunity to these systems.
I have also added LMAOBOX to the banned words list. you say it and you get banned, simple as that. If you have been banned by sayiong accidently then you need to file a ban submission in the bans forum. Then we can have a look at it and sort it out. The reason it's being triggered on the word, is because people spam the word by itself, and they were not getting picked up.


I am still looking at doing some adjustments to the mvm servers. That is a little down my list of things to be done, but it will be done eventually.
On the plus side, Episode 12 for machine attacks isnt that far away, so you mad machine attacks fans out there will be wanting to lap it up.
On the topic of machine attacks, stay tuned for an easter promotion regarding this. We have something that may be of interest to you.

Also on the thought of easter, there is another part of the promotion that you may want to enter, so keep your eyes peeled over the next week about what were doing for easter. It'll be fun!


STATS TIME AGAIN!!
General: 3163 (23832)
MvM: 5042 (47938)
Trade: 3350 (33051)
Fun: 2216 (19481)

This month's Total: 13771 (124302)
6 month's Total: 22535 (110531)
Fun #3 is now renamed and regrouped in its own group from now.
Not bad stats for the month, considering holiday time is over.


Over the next month or so, we may be looking for one or two admins, we will be looking at our VIP list first, then any applications we have on the forums. So if you feel you could be up for the job, and are up to our general standards listed in the application document, you might get a look in. feel free to apply.


From all the team of admins and VIP's. THANKS!

Welcome to the new year!

I know this is slightly late, but I wanted to time it with the end of the holidays and end of the month.
The Team and myself wish you all the best with the year at school, uni, tech, new job, normal run of the mill year. To me, it's just another year where you work hard and be thankful for the time you get to rest and relax, including gametime!

Down to business.


So things went really smooth over the holidays (Dec/Jan). No really big issues to deal with.
We rolled out the VIP status this month, and already we have noticed a huge difference with issue reporting and problems. This is partly due to the great team we have picked to be VIP.
Since the start of the VIP rollout, we have been inundated with questions on how to become one or where to apply/pay for. Please take note that, GetSome do not accept payment for special priveliges on our TF2 servers. There are also no plans on doing so in the future. If you wish to have VIP then you need to stand out in the crowd and help others. This would include enforcing general rules and guidelines.

In regards to the payment side of it, we may look at implementing a donation system, where you donate what you like, for nothing except donator status. The donations would go towards some promotions, special requests, maps etc. But thats later in our plans, so I won't go on...


If you have checked out the rules lately, they have been tidied up and put into one single document, this goes for all servers. I have put it all together to make things easier and neater. It also helps when it comes to fine tuning and adding anything, when we need to.
there have been a couple of additions in the last month, that you might want to check out. Faces is one inclusion.

The spam of the so called Lenny face, has become so bad, that we have decided it is a rule that it and other similar faces are no longer allowed. When you get one person doing it, another will then do it, then another, then another, then the original person will do it again, and so on... It's pretty rediculous really. Un-nessessary spam.
Included in this rule, is having it in your name. When an admin asks you to change it, then change it quick. Usually a 30 second timelimit is given to deal with it, before an admin does it for you.


We now have a Deathrun server. This makes it our fun server Number #3. After a few trials of other fun mods, deathrun seems to be a hit. There could be other mods out there that perform as well, so other ones may be added later on in the year.


MvM Machine Attacks is up to Episode 11 now. And it's possible ep12 is coming out soon!! Who knows! Trends show that they are released about every 2 months.
The previous episodes have had updates, but they have also come to a stop, so I assume everything that can and has been done to them is over. I enquired about the lift in one of the earlier episodes, but there was nothing that can be done about it. So keep jumping to make the lift go down. I havent had many reports about map glitches or crashes so something must be going well, or we have experienced players on the servers.

When it comes to the MvM servers, I am looking at slightly modifying the Easy(#1) and Hard(#2) servers slightly, with #1 being standard and #2 being custom maps. I will be trialing some things over the next couple of months.


STATS TIME AGAIN!!
General: 4302 (20669)
MvM: 7934 (42896)
Trade: 6111 (29701)
Fun: 4188 (17265)

Total: 22535 (110531)

The stat numbers are based on 5 months usage. Not bad really.


As usual I like to mention our admins.
Our admin list got a little cleanup in the last couple of weeks, so there are some changes.
I would like to welcome Meesham and Jacky to the team. These guys are both great assets to the group and to GetSome.


Okay, that's me done for another round. Thank you again for all your support towards GetSome and our TF2 section.

From all the team of admins and VIP's. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
