Fair Playing Society http://www.fpsoc.net Games played the way they're meant to be played Mon, 09 Aug 2010 21:09:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 SuperVersus is Back! http://www.fpsoc.net/2010/08/superversus-is-back/ http://www.fpsoc.net/2010/08/superversus-is-back/#comments Mon, 09 Aug 2010 21:09:22 +0000 bootc http://www.fpsoc.net/?p=73 After an impromptu Left 4 Dead 2 SuperVersus tonight I’ve decided that Monday nights should be SuperVersus Night. At 20:00 BST (UK) every Monday join the FPS SuperVersus Server and join in the fun!

Today’s impromptu game quickly filled up and we had people in chat waiting, so be quick and everyone can play.

The game will be run in combination with the 8pm Versus group which runs an L4D2 versus game at 20:00 every night of the week. We’ll try to keep things fair and keep a 50/50 split in the number of players from each group.

You will have to create a user (if you haven’t already) and contact The Team to make you a part of the user group “Regulars”

Only the people in that group can view the pictures.

If you’re not a regular in the chatroom, head on in and make yourself known and it won’t be long until you can see how ugly we all are (exept Rhys)

So head on in to see the pictures!

Please join me in welcoming them to their new posts!

I’m very pleased with these appointments, and didn’t even have to use my tie-breaking votes (e.g. I, bootc, did not vote at all) to determine the winners. We also have one EU and one US admin which helps very much with time zone issues.

I have taken this opportunity to tidy up the admin users on the forums so that they include only myself, doberle (ReverendO), Forsaken and Lockwolf.

Now I don’t expect anyone to want to pay me back for this at all, but after mentioning this in chat lots of people offered! So here’s a donate link so you can do just that:


I’d like to stress that this is indeed just a donation link, and that you really don’t need to feel obliged to donate. The servers will keep running even without donations — they will just help to pay for this latest RAM upgrade. Should this donation link raise more money than necessary, it will be kept for later use exclusively to support the FPS.

Thanks for all the support folks!

Update: The pot stands at £210 already!

Many thanks to the following people who have contributed:

In true FPS style I’ve got some L4D2 dedicated servers running already, on the same IP and ports as the L4D2 demo servers ran on. Just to refresh your memory:

87.117.228.64:27015 — 87.117.228.64:27019

These are vanilla servers with no SourceMod or anything at the moment. I will change things around as and when the various mods and extensions become available. Enjoy!

I can’t be around all the time, and the same goes for ReverendO — so we need a couple of extra people who can manage the chat while we’re offline or not listening! Please head on over to the forum and vote for your preferred candidates.

The forum is just the PRC forum that I’ve moved over and renamed to be the FPS forum, so all your previous account details should still be intact. There you go folks!

This group has much the same aims as the PRC did, but we hope we can develop some better rules and enforce them more fairly. As with the PRC our main focus is Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, but players of all games are welcome — including Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, etc…

The FPS is a group of people who play games for fun and enjoyment and we pride ourselves on the quality of our games. For more information, see the about page or join the group chat through which we organise games. Group membership is invite-only at the moment, but everyone is welcome!
