Teams are comprised of 6 team members for which you can cycle people in and out. No sub system this time, meaning if more than one person doesn't show up you have to play with what you have. Teams will be picked on Saturday, January 11. All captains that have been notified must be on sG Teamspeak by 5PM PST to pick their teams. (If you are unable to be on Teamspeak make sure you are still ready at that time and have Tristan added on steam/skype.) Settings:

Teams will be allowed to have 15 minutes from the schedule time before they will be forced to forfeit in case of an absent player/s It is the team's responsibility to make sure their fellow members show up to the posted times. Remember you have 6 players who can all play on your team throughout the tournament. If one person doesn't show up cycle in your other teammate. Players on your roster can by cycled in throughout play if someone is unable to play. However, that player's money will not be set to match the previously lost player's.

This tournament will be using a double elimination bracket. If a team wins the placement match they are moved into the upper bracket. If a team in the upper bracket loses a match they are then moved down into the lower bracket. If a team loses in the lower bracket after the placement match they are out of the tournament.

(Does not include voice programs such as Teamspeak or Ventrilo) Remember you are playing on sG servers so all punishments will be global.

Here you go.

I knew calling staff faggots 24/7 would eventually get me VIP.
 
It was only a matter of time.

Introduction:
It has been a while since our last digest. We figured it was time to let everyone know what has been going on within Syndicate Gamers. So sit back and enjoy this lengthy digest.
 News:
We have a new Battlefield 4 server!
New Staff and Server Officers!
Server changes!

 Financial Info:
In regards to our financial situation, we are pleased to say we are doing quite well. We are ahead of our bills each month, and we owe nothing.

As stated above, we now have a Battlefield 4 server, which will be costing us roughly $90.00 USD each month, and your support is needed to keep it online. Please consider a donation to go towards this new server so we can keep enjoying it.

We are discussing the possibility of a server hardware upgrade which will not be cheap. You may see, in the very near future a donation tracker to help pay for this upgrade.

 Server Instability:
As most of you know we have been under constant DDOS attacks, we’re working with our server provider to set up some type of mitigation. Watch the forums for any updates regarding this issue.

 Cinema Event!
The Cinema server seems to always have something wrong with it. Well after months of work from Ctark we finally have a working Cinema server and at long last a movie night has been organized! We will all gather on the cinema server on January 10th at 7pm Pacific Time. Please visit here for more information on the event.

 Jailbreak
Since the school year started up again, the server hasn't been doing the best. During the holidays the server has shown an improvement. As of recent, the server has had quite a few Server Officer positions open up, if anyone is interested make sure you send your application to Eddy and TurtleFrenzy.

 Warcraft 3
Since Warcraft 3 was released back in July, Thorgot and MrCoolness have been working very hard to keep it up and running, and enjoyable for everyone. The Server originally started with 32 Races, since then there has been a total of 34 races added to the server! Recently Klark lowered the tick rate of the server from 100 to 64. Since then our players have noticed a decrease in the amount of choke they get from the server. Please make sure you thank Thorgot and MrCoolness for all their hard work and dedication.

 Zombie Escape
The server has finally shown a comeback for the first time since Shadow stepped down. Over the past couple of months we have been adding multiple features to the server to provide the best possible experience for players. We have introduced customized ammo clip sizes, so that players will have a larger selection for the weapons to use while in game, than just the Negev or m249. We also have created a grenade plug-in to help identify players who grief grenade, and a grenade restrict plug-in so players who are grief nading can be restricted from using grenades for a certain number of rounds. Lastly, we have added a large number of maps which have been ported over and made specifically for the Syndicate Gamers server! We are also in the works of making the download time shorter for joining, but it will not be finished for quite some time. Everyone has a say in what happens on the server, so if you have any suggestions on how to make the server the best it can be, simply tell us on the forums or message fps_trucka.

 Mini Games
The CP Menu has been re-added to the server. There was a problem with it that resulted in it being removed. Mimic has fixed the plugin and has re-added the plugin to the server. We have also added quite a few maps, 4 of which were ported by Waffles. If you see Waffles around make sure you thank him.

 Surf
The surf server has been doing very well since Josh fixed a bug where weapons wouldn’t despawn from the map causing massive server lag. If you have any suggestions for the server feel free to post them in the surf sub-forum.

 Trouble in Terrorist Town
Detective Nom Noms is now the new Trouble in Terrorist Town Advisor. He will work along with ZachPL, the Garry's Mod Manager. We have faith that these guys can keep with server going strong. If you have any maps or fun ideas for the server please make sure to suggest them.

 Bunny Hop
With the new timer plugin added to the Bunny Hop server, and a constant flow of new maps to the server. Bunny Hop has kept a very steady population throughout the year. Everyone should try to stop by on the server and check out all the hard work Drunkula has put into the server, if you see him make sure to thank him.

 Minecraft
After multiple requests, we decided to change the vanilla minecraft server into a Hexxit server!
For the first time ever this new hexxit server has been made public and since then has been doing very well and has had a steady population of around 7-9 players!
Thanks to everyone for their patience with some initial problems from the server startup, most of these issues have since been ironed out.

 Battlefield 4
The Battlefield 4 server had a very rocky start, the problem was with the game mode constantly changing from hardcore to normal with any little change we made to the server. The server was finally fixed by Ctark and is now running as a 24/7 Harcore Conquest with 64 slots. We are on the look out for Server Officers to help populate the server and create a great environment for all of our players, if you're interested in a Server Officer postion then please send your Private Message to Eddy and TurtleFrenzy.

SG FASHION POLICE HAVE ARRIVED
 

 
 
THIS FRONT PAGE, I DON'T EVEN. CHANGE IT BACK TO THE OLD ONE FOR CHRIST SAKE. WHO THE HELL HAS A STAR RATING ON A THREAD? STAR RATING YOU ASK? THIS IS THE SHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE;
 

 
 
 
WE CAN'T EVEN RATE THE THREAD OURSELVES, AND IF YOU CLICK THE FRONTPAGE ARTICLE, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS;

 
 
I MEAN, LOOK AT THE DAMN RESPONSES
"GOD DAMNIT KLARK"
 
"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SIG KLARK?"
"FIRST TORTOISE AND THE NSA, NOW IT'S KLARK AND THE FRONTPAGE"
THE PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS KLARK? WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS?
I WENT TO INTERROGATE KLARK AND YOU KNOW WHAT HIS RESPONSE WAS?
 
<---THAT WAS IT.
TURN UP HOMIE, EVEN KANYE HATES THIS SHIT;

 
“You ain’t got the answers, KLARK! I’ve been doing this longer than you! You ain’t spent 13 million dollars of your own money trying to empower yourself!” Klark mentions that he’s struggled with trying to launch a clothing line as well, but West wasn't impressed. “But it ain’t Ralph level. What’s the name of your clothing line? We don’t know.”
 
WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR CLOTHING LINE KLARK?
 
BREAKING NEWS, KANYE SAYS KLARK DOESNT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE.

 
 
 
 
Seriously though, the old front page was much better than it is now.

Read the thread omg

"Excuse me i'd like to buy these magnums"
 
"Oh sure thing! Just sign this document saying that you wont throw unwanted babies at us in return for money."

Or because you're a faggot.

After careful thought I decided to step down my friends. I will always play and love sg servers work and new games are occupying my time so I will step down for now. Perhaps to return again at a later date. Hopefully you guys would have me back on the team some day. <3 Keep them servers clean bro's.

With my new position I'd like to instate the firefighter rules.

since we're on the topic of help i have a problem too
 
How the fuck do you walk up stairs?
 
I raise my foot up as if to take a step, but my foot doesn't get high enough to step on the stair. I tries to ease my foot up some more to get it higher, but my leg started bending and i got freaked out by it. Is that normal?
 
If it matters, I wear size 10 shoes, Nikes, White and red

Walk the mall and visit all the Smithsonian museums.
 
Priceless.
