    Ok, so now we have two "NBR" servers, a TF2 server dedicated entirely to us, and a CS: Source server which we all play in. As well as a COD 4 server we can use, but COD4 is rarely played.

    TF2 is played the most.

    We have games every friday, saturday and wednesday at 9 pm eastern time for those eastern people. Pablo will be setting up times for the western. But those three days are the days that you want to get on and play with the rest of NBR.

    The TF2 server is compliments of Unknown. It is also admined by me and Forerunner. If you want to get in, and it's full, just message one of us that are in the game, and we will make space for you. NBR people have first rights.




    SERVER INFO

    Name: NBR TF2 Server


    Here are the IPs for all three NBR servers...

    TF2: 65.78.148.62:1337
    COD4: 65.78.148.62:28960
    CS:S 65.78.148.62:666


    NBR Steam TF2 Player List


    [NBR] Jace*
    [NBR] The Forerunner*
    -UnKn- Slayer*
    [NBR] Eazy
    [NBR] Pablomancan
    [NBR] Atbnet
    [NBR]Hokey Pokey
    [NBR] rexdp10
    [NBR] crash
    [NBR] TheDynamicOne
    Chipmoney
    [NBR] [TIA] Jstn7477
    [NBR] .#SgTMatt[BE]


    I know I haven't added everyone yet, that's because on my friend's list you do not have [NBR] in front of your name. That's an easy way to identify you. Please add me to your steam and add [NBR] to your name, then you will be placed on this front page.

    *indicates admin, please obey and listen to the admins in the games.

    Awesome idea, im in for it as soon as I get my new PC, in about a week!

    Where are you based yoyo? I'm in Northern Ireland and I can imagine we'll have players from all over, so it's gonna have to be a good server for all types!

    I'm in Tennesse, USA.... I doubt i should be the one hosting the server too often, i'm sure someone has a much better internet connection than me, but mine is pretty good.


    This will be a great way for us to get off the forums and actually "socialize" with one another.

    I'd give you guy's a few games if we can get a stable server up and running :) Although i'd guess if the server is across the pond we'll have some ping issues :(

    There's a NBR group on steam, you guys should join up too.

    Im down for it but I rarely play tf2 because somehow I just can get into it. The only map that makes it fun is toy fort. But if there is a NBR server ill play.

    Yikes... there was a time during May/June where I would always go and keep playing it, and i'd log in about 30 hours a week.
    Now, Steam isn't even installed yet because of the reformatting.
    Even though I really shouldn't with all the classes, maybe some "light" TF2 :p

    P.S. Any new character updates yet, since Pyro?

    i wouldnt mind playing on the NBR server. it would be really cool if it was a dustbowl server or dustbowl/gold rush server since thsoe are the only two maps i find fun.

    ill play if my ping isnt too bad on the server.

    pretty small world, you guys are listing your names and i recognize a few of them from various TF2 servers.

    my question is, why bother having an NBR server when we could just go find an empty server to play on? i know of a goldrush/dustbowl/gravel pit server that is just starting out and it could use some help getting popular. If anyone is interested i could grab the ip when i get home. It would probably be much easier than having to find someone to host a server, then tell everyone about it, then fill it. Having a fixed, permanent server would probably be the best bet if this is going to be a success.

    I think because NBR wants to keep control of the server and do as a social event between us, plus I think it's best if the admin controls are in an /NBR member's hands if we are playing.....

    yeah, that was the only problem with my plan. Thought i would throw it out there anyway though.

    maybe someone else has admin on an unpopular/new server?

    I'm working on building a new rig, then i'll turn my old one into a dedicated server for myself.... and a dedicated TF2 server! lol

    Haha, I have an old comp laying around, but it's too old to use as a server >.>
    Heck, we can just post up an event, one of host (i'm sure a 1.5 mb connection can host all of us, and a 1.5 mb in the US seems to be the most common) for that event time etc and just do stuff small things like that if we can't really find a dedicated server for NBR.

    Haha, we should use the notebookreview.com servers to host! Haha, just a small thought.

    Hey guys, I am going to join the TF2 group when I actually can hit Join and not encounter an error lol. My SteamID is Jstn7477. BTW I have a 20/5 Mbit FiOS line to my house, but I guess I will need to get my Athlon X2 2.6 up and running again and my dad will probably get mad when his internet lags lol. I will see about it.

    Ok guys,

    This is the server info, i played around with it today. I'd like to test drive it sometime, friday perhaps??


    Ok, whenever NBR plays the server MUST have the following information, or it will be illegit. Why? So we can always find the server without trouble, and it'll just be easier.

    Server Name: NBR TF2 Server


    That's it, choose what maps etc when you play, ie, suggest to console admin what map you'd like to play....

    Anyone know the console commands for TF2? Such as kick?

    Anyone that abuses the server, in or not in an admin position, will be banned from playing... somehow. I dunno. lol

    personally i dont think this will work / last very long if we dont get a dedicated server.

    And, how many people are actually planning on playing on this server? password protecting it isnt really worthwhile unless there are enough people to actually fill the server, otherwise i would just let anyone join. More people = more fun, even if they arent from this forum

    I'm sure we all have other friends not part of NBR that we could invite....

    But yeah, I say that we should take off the password protection if we ever host. Also, I say it'd be best to have a map vote every time we change maps so people are happy more often.
