Tournament Invites added!

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

The Public / Private Tournament Management interface has been updated to now include a way to invite people to join your tournament quickly and easily, much like the Ladder Invite system.

To issue an invite to someone to join your Tournament, simply open up the Tournament Management interface by selecting the Tournament from your account menu, then click the "Invite Members" icon. From there you will have the option to invite new members with an email address, or search for any number of existing accounts to invite to play in your tournament....

Ladder Invite Bug Fixed

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

Just wanted to let everyone who has received an invite to join a ladder, but was unable to accept, that the bug has been fixed. Please try accepting the invite again!

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Console Networks account details added!

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

New to account profiles: Console Networks!

We have added XBox Live, Playstation Network, and Wii Network to account profiles. Currently XBox Live is the only network to be offering "Gamer Tag" information, but we can't imagine Playstation and Wii won't do something similar soon.

If an XBox Live Gamer Tag is defined in your profile, you'll now see the Gamer Tag directly from XBox Live when viewing your profile, just above Account Comments.

We'll be further integrating this information into the site in the next week, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates!

My Watch List added

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

A new feature has been added to the forums that will make it easier to keep track of individual threads; My Watch List.

Now when viewing a Forum Topic, there will be a link to add/remove from the My Watch List. Any topics tagged for the Watch List can be accessed via the Forums menu by clicking the "My Watch List" menu option.

This should help admins keep track of threads that are expecting a reply, and also help participants watch threads without necessarily posting in them.

If anyone has any troubles with this, please let a Global Admin know asap!...

Updates to FraggedNation

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

As you I'm sure have noticed, FraggedNation received a *major* update as of this afternoon. It's been in development for several weeks, and we feel the new features really make the site easier to navigate, and a little more interactive.

Along with the menu upgrades, several games have been added for the new Platforms we're supporting (PC, PS3, XBox360, and Wii), and the Join Ladder/Tournament and Create Private Ladder/Tournament wizards have been updated to be more efficient and easier to use.

If anyone is having any difficulties with these new features, please be sure to let us know in the forums! We are continuing to develop more enhancements to go along with the new Platform-Game-Competition architecture in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for new and exciting features!...

Several Site Changes

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

First off let me say first and foremost; If things look "odd" when you visit FraggedNation today, please do a full page refresh (typically CTRL+F5) as a lot of images have changed.

This last round of updates has way too many changes to list, but amongst the more important:

1. Trophies have been added back to the Ladder Standings Pages.
2. Sanctioned servers have been added back to the Ladder Standings pages, located just underneath the Shout box.
3. A new link to "Report Abuse" has been added to the top of each shoutbox. This will help us keep your shoutboxes clean and family friendly! ...

FraggedNation Forum Code of Conduct

We have added a new forum code of conduct to the general rules of Fragged Nation. This should help with some of the confussion about what you can and cannot do on the forums.

You can view the new rule additiond here:

Forum Conduct

Super Smash Brothers Brawl added, plus other changes!

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

Just a few points of interest here for all you dedicated fraggers out there.

We had a request for Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii) so we've added that to our lineup of games. Hopefully we'll see some competition evolve for that game, as it seems to be picking up some momentum in the competitive online arena!

Also we've implemented a Forum Ranking system. Where previously just the total posts where displayed, now will be a progress bar with a specific rank associated based on forum participation. Very soon you'll be able to add Kudos (or Blames) to forum posts that will increase/decrease the users forum rank. Once that is implemented, the forum rank will play a bigger part in the overall reputation calculation....

Please welcome Duvina as our newest Global Admin!

Topic: Community Announcements

Posted By: Switch

So for several months now, we have been "grooming" Duvina to move into a Global position here with many "less than awesome" tasks. We have tasked her with several policy refinements, and a whole lot of general PR policing to which she has attacked with incredible ferver.

On top of that, she has also been a loyal and unwaivering Forum Police member, and Game Admin, for quite some time. Even in spite of being openly attacked for enforcing forum policies, has stuck to her guns and continued to make our forums a safe and comfortable place for all to visit....

FN as standardize the ELO point penalty system for all ladders that use the ELO. This is the penalty system we already use for UT2K4 so you will not see any changes. The new system is as follows:

The following is the Penalty point System to be used for all ELO Point System scored ladders:

1st occurrence: Team Warning
2nd occurrence: 5pt Team Penalty
3rd occurrence: 10pt Team Penalty (plus the original 5pt = 15pt total)
4th occurrence: 15pt Team penatly (plus the previous 15pt = 30pts Total)

Serverlist Cleanup

Topic: Quake III

Posted By: Megaborg

Attention All Quake III Players

I have cleaned up the server list. This means if a server is not attached to a ladder, it's gone.

This weekend, I will be checking all servers that are attached to a ladder. If I can NOT connect to it, it will be deleted.

What this means to you -- If you are a HA, you have to make sure there are servers that players can select when they make a challenge.

Server Owners, if you need a server added, contact the admin for the ladder with the following information:

You might be the one!

We are planning to add URDC 2.1 to the servers for next season. UTDC 1.8 really has become ineffective.

We do understand that this will cause some problems for a very small minority of the players out there. If you are one of them, now would be the time to start looking for solutions to these problems. Post them if you can and we will try to help.

Just an FYI to all, season 7 is ending this coming weekend. Since the holidays are here, we will wait until the new year and then have the season 8 meeting.

I will get with the head admins and figure out a time and date for this. In the mean time, now would be a good time to start thinking about things like new maps and if there are any current maps to be removed, as well as anything else that will need to be discussed during the meeting.

December 2007 Update

Kaos needs some time away from Q3 to get his academic life in order, and he doesn't know how long, so he's now inactive, which means we've got a spot open.

ok yall, I've updated the active roster to reflect those members who have been active in the last week.

I've demoted Target, n3wD, and Spawn to just members. Just means they have access to the clan forum and can sport the tags and if they wanna become active again and compete, they just pm me and if there's a slot open, I'll add them to the "Clan Owners".

I'd like to start recruiting in the next 2 weeks, so if anyone's interested, please PM me if there's someone that has requested to join RnR or if there's someone that isn't in a clan already and we should try to recruit.

Welcome EvilCow and Spawn, formerly of Dark Hunters. RnR is not recruiting anymore. We want to stay a tight clan and not have to worry about having too many members and then have people leaving or becomming inactive after a week or two. We're coming back strong people, watch out!

All RnR members that still want to compete, please PM me. Currently we're using this website to keep in touch. If you notice on the left side there is 'Public Clan Forums' and 'Private Clan Forums'.

RnR members that are retired and still want to be part of the clan can be. For instance, Lawman... he's retired, but he still has access to the Private Clan Forums.

RnR members that are inactive show up on the left side. RnR members that are active and competing show up as 'Clan Co-Owners' (red * next to their name)....
