Around the Globe

If you've ever been curious to see what it is like where other clansmen live, you will get your chance. The Around the Globe contest rules along with the prize are now posted in the General forum. Entries are due by the 29th of February.

Members who do not all ready have them are encouraged to create Steam accounts, or revive old ones if they exist. This will be the method of prize delivery for the winner.

Stop Online Piracy Act: SOPA

By now most of you know what this bill that is trying to pass through the U.S. Senate is. For those who would like to know in more detail, I've included a link: FAQ.

Congress has done some incredibly stupid things in the past. The one that pisses me off the most is the Patriot Act which allows the U.S. government to spy on its citizens. Last year when they deemed that pizza was a vegetable (don't believe me - click here), I was stupefied by the idiocy that has become Washington: and now this...

Should this bill pass, it will massively disrupt the internet for the known world.

I call upon all our Brothers stateside to make your discord known as I have. This trash legislation should be snuffed out as quickly as possible. Write/e-mail your state representatives and senators (or pull out the big guns and have your wife/gf bitch him out over the phone)!

New Year New Feature

TSC has a new Leaderboard feature with its games. This is a member specific skill rating independent of clan rank that is reflective of skill within a said game. Members are periodically assessed to determine if and where they fit. Only the top 5 clansmen in each game are listed.

Members may also challenge other members to gain higher status. Only those directly below a skill rate may challenge the spot. Ie #4 cannot challenge #1, he must go through #3 and #2 to earn it. If a significant time of non-play has elapsed, member ratings will decay.

To view these new leaderboards, click on the Rating tab in the menu above.

Changes & Implements

Several new things are being implemented as you should have all ready noticed starting with the site background. The pinnacle of these changes is the conversion of our "Diplomacy" tab, to a "Leaderboard" tab where members will be ranked by skill level in the games we play. Below is a compilation of our Brothers dominating in Heroes of Newerth: Enjoy.
