MDK ~News Ticker~

Posted By: James-n-Yumi

22nd September, 2009

I've gone to each and every PS3 clan website and posted anytime, anywhere challenges and have been fed the usual weaksauce nonsense.

"We don't have enough members who play 1943."
"We would but, uh... we're playing Bad Company."
"We are young, we can't take any challenges yet."

I'll keep trying... I can't reiterate enough though to be ready for MAG and BF:BC2.

14th September, 2009

China, and her flag, has been added to the drop down "Nations" menu on the personal profile customization screen. Sorry it took so long smallfung.

Battlefield: Bad Company is currently being considered for FN support.

Thanks to Global Admin Switch.

12th September, 2009

Our challenge to TG has gone ignored again. 0-2
Our challenge to mfh was declined by xMFHxBrown due to a lack of players. xMFHxBrown noted that perhaps more recruitment is needed.

Open challenges are on the books in the Proove-It section for Alpha team.

Fraggednation management is looking into adding Battlefield: Bad Company support, more as news becomes available.

Intel reports that gathering everyone together on a private server would be tactically unwise as you can easily be killed by the enemy Air Raid.

That is all.

9th September, 2009

Due to the apparant new interest in our Company by players of the Eastern Hemisphere, Bravo team has been re-instated for Battlefield 1943. If you have any interest in joining Bravo team, contact ClArKy975.

Challenges have been issued to MfH and TG for this upcoming weekend. You may view the challenges which have been issued by any team you are a member of by clicking the crossed axes button at the top of your screen.

Please send a message to your PSN friend list telling them about Fraggednation, cash tournaments, ladders and about our group. Please include a link to the site.

4th September, 2009

Challenges to be issued for next weekend will include 1943 ladders, open proove-it's and possibly challenges from our EU base over on Clarky's side. Stay tuned, hopefully competition will be incoming.

30th August, 2009

smallfung has been made the contact for the Company's Asian forces.

NERD team has been created for 4 vs 4 Call of Duty 4 competition. Check out the team details for information!

As a reminder, any games that compete here at Fraggednation can be added to the "games played" by simply PMing one of the company contacts of the group. Clarky, smallfung or myself.

The purpose of this group (company) is to connect players who play these games and wish to play competitively. Players who do not wish to be in the Company don't have to be in order to be on your new team. It just makes it easier in the future if those players want to be in future games on one of our future teams to just join the team from the company's main page instead of being re-recruited, just for that team.

If you have any questions about what any of this means, just PM me here or on PSN and I will be more than happy to explain.

27th August, 2009

ClArKy975 has been made the contact for MDK's European and African forces.

Bravo Team has been created for European players of 1943.

Please congratulate Chewitt and HUNDO|FN|

Topic: Community Announcements

If you think about it, we gamers do a lot of reading. Reviews, latest updates, blog posts, forums, messages, etc...
Here at FN, we try to ensure that what you read on the site is both enjoyable and informative. If you are one of those talented few with a penchant for gaming and an affinity for the pen, then consider becoming an official |FN| staff writer (your first test is understanding the vocabulary in this sentence ).

This is a great opportunity to get some major exposure for your writing, impact an active community, hone your skills, and build your resume.
We're looking for someone who can write official language for FraggedNation, but who has a unique flavor and can capture the "voice" of FN.
If you're interested please PM me (Emrys) and send some sample of your writing. We currently have the need for a rework of a History/About page that would be the first assignment!

Promoting Prove-It! - we're giving away $100 cold hard cash!

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

In an effort to promote the Prove-It! flexible play system, FraggedNation has decided to give away $100 cold hard cash to the FIRST member to complete 20 Prove-It! matches played for credits!

Wait a second, what does this all mean?

It means that all you have to do is post a challenge via the Prove-It! system, set an amount of credits you're willing to put on the line that you'll win, and then have someone accept and play the challenge!

What do you get if I win?

Well if you WIN the match, you get ALL your credits back, PLUS all the credits your opponent put on the line! It's a way of earning money for playing the games you love, with the settings you choose!

So wait, I can make money along the way to 20 matches, and THEN you'll give me 100 MORE credits?

That's right! We're confident that once the Prove-It! system catches on, that people will really start to use and see the benefits of quick one-off matches that they can earn money playing! We're looking for the best possible way to make people aware of this powerful platform, and we figured giving away FREE MONEY is always the easiest!

As an added bonus we've decided that if the account that reaches 20 credit-based matches is a staff member who has reached at least the rank of Sgt. Major that we will throw in an additional 25 credits!

Please note that the 20 matches requirement is contingent on being played against at least 15 unique members.

Best of luck to everyone participating - let the games begin!

Greetings fellow fraggers! Just wanted to drop a note to everyone highlighting the recently revamped Private Message system.

As many of you have probably noticed by now, there is a new rotating header image here at FraggedNation - and we'd like to give you, our loyal members, a chance to leave your mark!

We will now be accepting images from the community at large to use in this new rotating header. Images must pertain to a current game supported by FN, or a game that is upcoming that is anticipated to be supported here. Images must not violate any copyrights, and obviously be appropriate for members of all ages. If you wish to sign your artwork before submission you may do so, provided the signature is at least 50% or LESS opaque, and is located in the lower right hand corner of the template image below. Any signatures that are overtly obvious and detracting from the image will be modified or removed... and if it cannot be modified or removed we will have to deny the submission.

So that being said, let the artwork battles commence! Using the template image below, do your best to give FN some more flair, and be an even greater part of this already fantastic community of gamers.

Please note that this is also included in the Admin Incentive program, so admins be sure to take part in this to further your admin rank!

Topic: Quake Live

Posted By: ra_ar

Yesterday marked our first event completed and things went pretty smooth. Would have been nice to see some more activity though I suppose those things happen.

We now have a private beginner ladder and are making a private intermediate skilled ladder which should be up within the next day.

These ladders accomplish a couple things. They give players a chance to get some organized game play versus players of similar experience and will also serve to support seeding of future tournaments.

We will have an advancement system where the top two ladder ranked players in beginner will advance to intermediate if the position is held without loss for two weeks. For intermediate if its clear the same situation exists we will open an advanced ladder as well.

What else does everyone want to see here hosted for QL? We have the ability to do ladders, and tournaments. Leagues are something they are working on but cannot be done yet.

New Seasons to start on Wednesday Jan 20th

Topic: Unreal Tournament 3

Posted By: Chaotic_Cannon

That's rights people, the new seasons of the UT3 ladders are due to open for challenges on Wednesday, Jan 20th.

This will mark the Season opening of the GREED, VCTF, WAR, 1v1 Duel and TAM ladders for your enjoyment.

Please make sure your teams are aware of the new approaching seasons. We are also asking for your help to see if the existing teams can start talking in game to other and new players telling them there are places to find competition ladders for the thrill and the fun.

By helping us to spread the word on the ladders, we can get more people playing the game and more teams on the ladder which will lead to more challenges and more fun.

Lets rock the new season!!

Quake Live Information and Resources

Topic: Quake Live

Posted By: ra_ar

www.quakelive.com

Quake Live is a modified version of the popular first person shooter, Quake 3. There are however a few things that set this apart from Quake 3. QL is a free web based game that includes many new maps, a complete stat tracking system and skill-matched (continued work in progress) gameplay. This game is very fast paced. Many new QL players are amazed at how fast the action is in this game compared to other first person shooters, especially once players learn to strafe jump.

This post will continue to remain a work in progress and I intend to update it frequently as needed.

Here are some links to guides for Quake Live:

Quake Live SiteMap - A detailed collection of many useful topics for Quake Live at the official forums.
The Ultimate QuakeLive Guide - A Great Guide for QL that answers many common questions about the game.
holysh1t.net - This website has a number of tutorials and strategy guides for QL.
quake-live.tv - Here you will find a number of recorded and live streamed matches, typically with commentary.
Quake Scene - Demo matches; recorded matches that you play using QL.
Q3Schools - Great tutorial website with lots of videos that demonstrate both beginner and advanced QL tactics
LashKnife's config generator - A configuration file maker. Use these files for more customization of Quake Live.
Signature Generator - Quake Live forum signature maker.


If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will be happy to assist.
