][STA][ Strike Team Alpha

Day of Defeat Night: Friday

We are now having an Official Day of Defeat night at 1900hrs(7pm) EST on Friday nights. This will be a weekly thing and we encourage everyone who owns the game to take a little break from TF2 and have some fun on our DoD server. If you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact the DoD Team.

Going for Top Dog

On Sunday, October 5th, we will be challenging for First Place on the 5v5 TWL ladder. This is the first time in about 3 years that we have had the opportunity to challenge for #1. So lets make it count.

We will be having intense practices on Wednesday and Sunday before the match. So PLEASE be there at 8pm EST, hell be EARLY. We wanna win this thing and be NUMBER 1

TWL 5v5 Fast Attack Ladder

][STA][ TF2 competitive branch is going back into TWL after our brief absence from its ladders. Instead of the 7v7 ladder we now find ourselves in the 5v5 fast attack ladder and are taking the steps necessary to get our team setup. So what does this mean ? everyone who's interested should be checking out the post made by Suicide located: Here.

Get your asses in gear and lets get this shit going!

P.S. CTF Night is still something that's going to happen so don't assume that we won't need you on Wednesdays for it.

][722][

[722]. Many have seen the tag pinned onto the end of BanListed and Charro�s name. But not many have understood what it meant. Much like the ][777][ at the end of many members names in memory of Gemini777 DragonEye, the [722] is in memory of Shred722, the captain of ][STA][s old Halo 2 division. Last year, on August 29th, Shred passed away due to complications with his Cystic Fibrosis. Although your time with ][STA][ was short, your impact upon the clan was monumental, and your contributions were appreciated. Rest in Peace ][STA][Shred722.

Anyone wishing to leave a message of remembrance can do so here.

New Gaming Division

We are happy to announce a new game division to Strike Team Alpha. Throughout the days of TF2 we have grown and become a large community with many valuable members. With great interest in branching out to another game, we will sit down and take the time to discuss the responsibilities and outlook of a successful division. Therefore a new DoD:Source division was decided upon to expand our community. We are putting our trust and resources into members that are going to head up the division, MexicanBob and Elm. Their responsibilities and duties as the new divisional leaders will be a tough task. From recruiting new STA members to fill the DoD division, maintaining a successful server, to possibly entering a competitive ladder.

So what does this mean for the rest of the STA community and members? This means we will be sharing STA with new members brought in by DoD. But it doesn�t limit us to just playing the game we were recruited in. You are always welcome to join our other divisional server(s) when they arrive and have fun. In fact, for the first month or so, you would be doing the DoD leaders a great help by filling the DoD server and making us more appealing to DoD players looking for a clan, help get the division off it�s feet.

To wrap everything up for the ones that are not fond of reading. Day of Defeat: Source is now officially a new division of Strike Team Alpha, headed up by our two new DoD divisional leaders MexicaBob and Elm.

The new server is located @ 8.9.9.223:27015 be sure to add it to your favourites.

This department will consist of (in no particular order) Keanu, Pepper and Ph4ntom.

The department will maintain our gameservers and irc and even teamspeak if needed. Please join me please in welcoming these already familiar faces to already familiar roles. These guys have been doing this job for a while now its just about time we made it official.

There has been one or two other developments also but i'll save these for another release.

New member of the admin team...

So with all the work that needs to be done with the server, and hybrid working alot and such, we figured that we needed a second person to help maintain the server. So to help things out, we have bumped Sgt. Pepper up to full server admin. So if you have any issues with the server, you can go to him as well as Hybrid. Also, with the departure of Banlisted to Brazil for a month and a half, we felt as though having another captain around here would help things run smoothly, so as well as server admin, Pepper will acting as a temporary divisional leader. So congratulations to Pepper, keep up the good work!

Competition Team Practices

The competition team practices were announced last week in the Team Fortress Info Center, but I think it went unnoticed. So to make it perfectly clear the times for practice are Sunday and Wednesday Nights at 8 PM EST. While attending only one is required per week, attending both would make be beneficial and make the team mesh together quicker. Expect scrims, strategy sessions and basic skill honing at these practices. If you cant make a practice please post up an AFK as usual.
