Shads, late, Xmas Message

WOW, what an xmas i have had!

Xmas eve; After finishing wrapping and the last minute stuff i decided to relax and have a browse… i saw GTA IV for sale at 75% off. (like 12 bucks aus) so i jumped on and treated myself to a Xmas Gift.
15 gigs… its gunna be a while

my mistake

Xmas day; So i got some windows updates and stuff on Xmas night, and after leaving the computer on DLing a heap for the previous few days decided to turn it all off and give the machine, modem etc a rest for Xmas. (GTA

again My Mistake

I turn the machine back on…. no interwebs….. WTF?
i checked the phone… no dial tone…. WTF?

The misses rang Telstra and it turned out that half my suburb was down

“oh its a major issue.. dont know when it will be fixed, but someone is working on it” – Now given the public holidays, i doubt it WAS an issue more that they didnt wanna pay a tech to come out and reset whatever dealie it was!

Hi All

Miss me?

So you been sitting there, after my last post, excitement building, gripping your chairs with anticipation, eager to find out what adventures Shad had been on. He's been missing for over a week now!
you ask yourself after wiping the tears of joy, and pure anticipation....
"Where has shad been?" "What could have made shad miss updating the SoO ladder table dealie?"

Well, I will tell you upfront, last week I spent nights in, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Sydney and my home City of Canberra. majority of the last 8 days have been spent away from home!
the thing about traveling for work, as glamorous as it sounds is you never stop working. Your normally up at around 5am and you think of work. You have breakfast while either discussing work or thinking of it. You go to work. You come home, thinking of work. You then go to dinner, discuss work/think of work. Then go to bed around 11:30 thinking of work (that's if you don't have to prep/read anything for the next day). So by about 1am, when you finally fall asleep. you've about had enough work.

Try doing that for 5 nights... well, After 5 nights of that, a man has had enough.

Here ends the post of shads adventure for anyone under the age of 18... If your over 18 you can read on.

A few tips

I’d like to take the opportunity to remind everyone of a few IPX rules, common courtesy and common sense in general!

Without being to overbearing and quoting rule numbers:

IPX doesn’t Cheat…. this includes exploits etc.
IPX doesn’t tolerate SPAM!
Fun and a little ribbing in game is accepted. But abuse, bullying, racism etc is NOT acceptable! – Dont make people feel bad. Be mindful of other people when playing. Remember its about perception, not intent!
Also, doing things that bring IPX and the IPX name into disrepute are unacceptable.

You wear the – IPX jersey… you’re an ambassador of the team. You’re expected to uphold the Values and obey the Rules of IPX. We pride ourselves on being organised, and professional. Many IPX members spend a lot of time making IPX into a better place for everyone. If you act like a “Truckhead” it reflects poorly on all of us!

I’d like to point out a few common courtesy points when playing online.
Admins deserve respect.
Server owners deserve respect.
– Playing on their servers are a privilege not a right. Their servers, their rules. If you dont like them, play elsewhere.
If you TK someone, say sorry…. Its not that hard as TKing should be an accident anyway. If your intentionally TKing… I expect your resignation!

Finally. Apologies go a long way. If you screw up, fessing up with a little honesty and a “sorry” can defuse most situations.

New Game Possibility (& Svalbard Grab)

In my never ending quest for new Games for IPX to play… (and also due to the Wolf-EPIC-en-FAIL-stien) Ive ramped up the quest while we wait for the next “ET:QW” to come out (Maybe Borderlands, Brink or Battlefield Heroes), and to supplement our “ET:QW, ET:W, Padman, SG’s, Insurgency & L4D” Fun nights

I also think its important to try and keep us all together playing and to bring back some of the older IPXers. Also FREE is often high on my selection criteria

Attached some links below for some new games/mods/betas which I & Fuzz will be Downloading & Trying out through the week. Feel free to DL and come and test with us. (FYI some are HL2 mods which require the Source Engine… so be careful)
