Woooo it’s been a year!

Damn! Exfane got a girlfriend, Fisshu finished school, Truls returned from ‘MURRICA, kaidus’ team didn’t fold, Looper still has a baby, Mirelin won medic of the season AGAIN and we started this: http://server.fakkelbrigade.eu

We’re dead, but not gone

Server move

Arie — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:24:56 +0000

We’ve switched servers. I’ve decided not to migrate all the current users. If you feel you deserve an account on the new server, email me

New year cleanup

Arie — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:14:59 +0000

We’ve cleaned up our list of server users. If you had access to upload files on our server (fragmovies, podcasts, maps) and it got removed, please send an email to the usual address or contact Arie on Steam.

The Tt eSPORTS TF2 Challenge

Arie — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 13:34:55 +0000

Our corporate overlord has generously sponsored a TF2 competition over at Esports Heaven. A sweet 500 dollar for the team that ends up on top.

We intend to win our own prize money, so bring your A game.

Planned server downtime: 16th of april 2011

Arie — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 06:54:04 +0000

Our server is going on a little trip. During this trip it won’t be online.

After the trip it will have a new IP address. If you use our services by connecting to ‘fakkelbrigade.eu’, you shouldn’t have to do anything.

The move will happen on the night of saturday the 16th of april.

edit: all done

And now a message from our actual corporate overlord!

We’ve finally picked an MGO. After all the ‘great’ offers from 13 year olds around the world offering free Mumbles and maybe a gameserver if we’d win iSeries 3 times in a row, we’ve finally found a proper MGO with a great offer.

It’s Team Thermaltake!

Thanks to Team Thermaltake, we’ll be heading to a bunch of LANs without worrying about personal finances:

Mirelin gets to keep his 2nd kidney
Exfane gets to stay in his Utrechtian mansion
Kaidus will be able buy his girlfriend some cough medication
DrLeon won’t have to cut back on his snus addiction
Fisshu won’t have to max out his student loans until next week
Dorkan saves the Spanish economy!

In addition to getting our international bunch to LANs, TT will also support our community efforts by paying for our dedicated server. This means:

Community Mumble stays up
TF2TV keeps shoutcasting on their Mumble
VanillaTF2 can keep spreading gossip
Top matches and showmatches get relays
~~FakkelBrigade~~ Team Thermaltake will keep playing on their own servers
Mirrors for fragvideos and configs (looking at you Chris) stay up

So head over to the announcement at the Team Thermaltake site and leave a kind word for our new benevolent corporate overlords.

And now a message from our corporate overlord

FakkelBrigade is trying to participate in the ESH cup. The upcoming cup has a rather nice 1000 euros prize fund sponsored by Full Tilt poker.

Apparently the guys at Full Tilt poker are rather poor at making their product known and as part of the sponsor agreement all teams wanting to participate have to place one of the messages below on their sites. Having a bunch of random gaming sites link to your site will increase their ranking in search engines, which Google believes is “totally ok”

To me, poker is a rather silly game of cards based mostly on chance requiring little skill. In the Netherlands playing poker online is illegal, linking to such a site should be OK, so we’re safe

The takeover

It’s official, we’re now Truls Gaming Incorporated.

Truls Gaming (r)(c)(tm)

The lovely Truls from Norway will be paying for everything with a stolen credit card. Coming Q2 2011, the Truls Gaming tournament with 10000 dollars in prize money!
