The [FGS] Clan

[FGS]Chees wrote:Some of you annoy me tbh. Mappers work on projects and they are swept aside by people who play with augs, without even giving the maps a chance and testing with the option to change the map to suit both augs and non augs and lack the ability to come to a conclusion in a forum based map discussion. 'Things players would like changed on both game types' only non aug players seem to give feed back. Apart from Chinny over the past few months it seems like your letting only one mapper in to the aug world of Deus Ex AND BLOCKING EVERYONE ELSE. Default maps and a few random maps is like an Iceworld hold on 0-augs, most players are sick of same old same old. Just my opinion tbh and don't want to start an argument.

This is Deus Ex, a dieing game with few players. Work together in game, in forum and map discussions and in editing to bring all players maps they enjoy on both levels of game type. Not rocket science! The lack of communication between players and editors is ridiculous!!!

2014 is here! Lets have a resolution to the problems and not repeat the same pathetic announcement topics and points we all know of and fix the issues.
Or is this catch 22 2014.

Don't really care if it has Nephthys or not (unless someone wants to crash our war ). Because there are Gaming Deluxe servers around, we should use one of those for performance.

While it would be easy to use Hivemind server that has all of these things covered, I am just listing necessary requirements for any match server that both parties can agree upon. Blade for example does not host proper speedhack fixes, so it is very easy to cheat in his server. In our server all simpler cheats are effectively blocked. Nobody can fast fire speedhack unless they set up separate cheat programs, in which case we will notice it, if not from anywhere else then from server log.

With MTL+miniMTL233a2 all common cheats are fixed, nobody will be shooting faster unless they are hardcore cheaters. Hivemind does not allow cheating in our clan and I am sure neither does FGS.


I know FGS *used to have* people that wanted to play clan wars. Find those people and don't let them move to other games due to clan inactivity. Because FGS is not experienced in classic DXMP we will not force your hand into playing it, we will be ok with 0augs and hope to see many more of you in our public ADM and ATDM games

Once you have shown enough organisatory capacity to arrange 0aug match, we will consider playing DXAG match with you as a bonus extra (even though 90% of active Hivemind has probably never seen this mod). Because of difficulties finding decent releases and setting up server with decent DXAG maps (i presume?) it'll take longer to organize than 0a match that simply depends on your ability to communicate with your members.

As a side note, I do not intend to play in the clan war, and will prefer that a greener hivemind member has my place. Similar arrangements may be made regarding other lineup slots depending on who is available during the suggested date.

For now, I suggest this Saturday. I am fairly certain FGS will not be able to find your preferred lineup by this date, but let it serve as a motivation.


Initial suggestions:

Date: this Saturday, 4th of January, 2014
Date: Time 4PM UK Time (or later same day if feedback comes in)
Server: Hivemind anti-cheat server (16slot gamingdeluxe); or any gamingdeluxe with patched miniMTL233a2 & MTL
Teams: 4v4 or higher (6v6 may be doable if both clans really try, 3v3 is clanwar already)
Maps: Any maps from our 0a list; or classic selection
