Our hoster is having some issues with their network, so that’s why yesterday and today there was quite some lag and packet loss at times. We’re in contact with them to get this resolved asap.

Thanks to a failing hard drive we’ll be forced to do some emergency maintenance real soon. Expect downtime this week.

Also, if you currently have an FTP account with us, those files will not be recovered on the new disk.

Update: Reinstall will be today!

Update 2: Those with FTP accounts are lucky, all files were recovered. I will need to re-make your account. Send me your accountname + desired password. arie@fakkelbrigade.eu

Update 3: Aaaaaaand we’re back. New HDD installed, old HD was temporarily still in the system to recover all files, but that has now been removed.

A while ago we were the host of  a ‘pros vs pubbers’ match, today there was another one.

This time the pubbers won! You can get the STV demo’s here

Thanks to Jojipo on the Steam forums, here are the recordings of the Mumble shoutcast, recorded in OGG format, get Winamp if you can’t play OGG files already.

Our server got quite busy with serving the match, the STVs and the Mumble shoutcast

In the resent events of our beloved snus-addict; Dr.LeoN, destroying his laptop in an event to reconstruct the infamous “catch-a-laptop-with-your-cheek” stunt. He destroyed his laptop and had to undergo surgery to relocate most of his ass-hair, which are now a part of his mustache. After this tragic accident, the management of FakkelBrigade had no other option then to look for a new soldier.

Looper took this task into his own hands (JC` did it) and faked some logs of him getting into FB1. JC` then sent a message to Exfane over irc, looking something like this:

[00:42] <JC`>

FakkelBrigade welcomes JC`, a completely unknown player, with no history or relations with any members of the team, we wish him all well at the insane asylum he’ll be spending most of his days from now on. Seriously, you need to be pretty desperate to fake logs because you wanna play along side Exfane.

Update:

[00:45] <JC`>

[00:57] <JC`> http://img508.yfrog.com/img508/2015/rolled.jpg
[00:57] <JC`> proof

So I decided to poke around ye olde interwebs to find out more about this player, tracking him down was easy as pie. turns out he plays for Paroxys, under the name JC, another job well done!

Successful Troll is Successful?
