Wow.
Ok. Mach 5 baby!!! Welcome to the home page of Clan cE!! I'm going to give you a little breakdown of who we are and what we do. Apparantly we bring much d00m to the nation b/c no body has the courage to challenge us, so that is ego nutrition! We talk some smack, but we've earned our right to do so. Chances are we won't like you anyways. Thanks for bein easy targets! Much love! I'm bored at work right now hence the typing but I might actually see about sitting down and typing up a real introduction later. It would be my pleasure! Thanks guys!

Edit: I also tried to center this text but it did not work, so just as a heads up, the Fragged Nation needs to fix this word-like editing module. A) it sucks with unneccesary buttons. B)it doen't even work complteley. C) it's so lagged that it's transposing some of the letters of the words i'm typing...

First off let me say first and foremost; If things look "odd" when you visit FraggedNation today, please do a full page refresh (typically CTRL+F5) as a lot of images have changed.
This last round of updates has way too many changes to list, but amongst the more important:
1. Trophies have been added back to the Ladder Standings Pages.
2. Sanctioned servers have been added back to the Ladder Standings pages, located just underneath the Shout box.
3. A new link to "Report Abuse" has been added to the top of each shoutbox. This will help us keep your shoutboxes clean and family friendly!

FraggedNation Forum Code of Conduct
Topic: Community Announcements

We have added a new forum code of conduct to the general rules of Fragged Nation. This should help with some of the confussion about what you can and cannot do on the forums.
You can view the new rule additiond here:
Forum Conduct
Super Smash Brothers Brawl added, plus other changes!
Topic: Community Announcements
Posted By: Switch
Just a few points of interest here for all you dedicated fraggers out there.
We had a request for Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii) so we've added that to our lineup of games. Hopefully we'll see some competition evolve for that game, as it seems to be picking up some momentum in the competitive online arena!
Also we've implemented a Forum Ranking system. Where previously just the total posts where displayed, now will be a progress bar with a specific rank associated based on forum participation. Very soon you'll be able to add Kudos (or Blames) to forum posts that will increase/decrease the users forum rank. Once that is implemented, the forum rank will play a bigger part in the overall reputation calculation....

Please welcome Duvina as our newest Global Admin!
Topic: Community Announcements
Posted By: Switch
So for several months now, we have been "grooming" Duvina to move into a Global position here with many "less than awesome" tasks. We have tasked her with several policy refinements, and a whole lot of general PR policing to which she has attacked with incredible ferver.
On top of that, she has also been a loyal and unwaivering Forum Police member, and Game Admin, for quite some time. Even in spite of being openly attacked for enforcing forum policies, has stuck to her guns and continued to make our forums a safe and comfortable place for all to visit....

New Revisions to the General Site Rules
Topic: Community Announcements
Posted By: Duvina
There have been some new revisions to the general rules for all of Fragged Nation. These new revisions should help enhance your gamming enjoyment and streamline some proceedures for easier use and understanding. They are as follows and you can view them at: http://www.fraggednation.com/rules.php

If a trouble ticket is submitted after 5 days from the reporting of the match the trouble ticket will not be reviewed. ...

"New since Last Visit" update
Topic: Community Announcements
Posted By: Switch
A tweak has been implemented that should help alleviate some confusion about the "New since last visit" feature of the forums. Previously the "last visit" was linked to the actual account log-in time; If your account is set to auto-login, this meant as soon as you visited the site.
The problem is, that if you did not check the forums and closed the browser, the "last login" is then reset to the new login time when the new browser window is opened.
This behaviour was expected and intentional, however I figured it beneficial to separate visiting the forums, vs just visiting the site....

Login persistence
Topic: Community Announcements

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new option available in the Edit Profile section called "Stay Logged In". This seemed to be more appropriate rather than using a cookie to track this preference. Everyone has been defaulted to "Yes" as that's the most common, however it can be turned off at any time from the edit profile screen.
Those of you who were experiencing problems with remaining logged in should no longer have any issues. If you do, it may just require a browser re-start to get everything back in line for you....

Serverlist Cleanup
Topic: Quake III
Posted By: Megaborg
Attention All Quake III Players
I have cleaned up the server list. This means if a server is not attached to a ladder, it's gone.
This weekend, I will be checking all servers that are attached to a ladder. If I can NOT connect to it, it will be deleted.
What this means to you -- If you are a HA, you have to make sure there are servers that players can select when they make a challenge.
Server Owners, if you need a server added, contact the admin for the ladder with the following information:

First of all I'd like to thank hXc_chic for everything that she has done for UT99 and FN over the years.....she hasn't been around much lately as life has kept her busy. So I've had a talk with chic and she agrees that it is time for her to step down as a Game Admin for UT99. For those of you that know chic may not know that she got married last December, and she is now expecting her first child!!
She is due in November, which is going to keep her even busier than she has already been. Congratulations and Good Luck chic and keep in mind that you are always more than welcomed to come back!

Season 2 maps bundled
Topic: Telefrag DM 1on1
Posted By: Jni |FN|
By *TNT*Krazy's request i have bundled all maps togheter. This is, i think, a good idea.
Here is the link: Maps
NOTE: this is a ~50Mb .rar archive, make sure you have a good bandwidth and winrar to uncompress it.
I have also include the mutator that changes maps into telefrag maps. It's included in the system folder. Each folder represent one specific folder in the UT base directory (on my computer its c:Unreal Tournament) so you just need to transfer everything to the appropriate folder.
If you get doubles from different size, you may wanna make a backup of your actual one before replacing it with one from the package. ...

Arguing with the Ref
Topic: US EURO TRUE Sniping and Camping TDM 5v5
Posted By: Duvina
Hi guys and gals
One of the HA's has brought to my attention some concerns about ref's being abused and asked for my help to clarify the issue. I know that recently there has been some tension and one of these areas of tension seems to be with calls refs make. Now I know that in a match it can be really frustrating when a ref makes a call that you disagree with. Our natural inclination is often to dispute the call. I also understand that sometimes refs miss calls and can even make a bad calls. I speak from experience because I used to be a camper ladder player, ref and, later an HA. ...
