#uPug is opening its doors..

Dear ladies, gentlemen and gorillas,

I am pleased to announce the official opening of #uPug, the first GlobalUnreal affiliated weapons channel. As many of you know, TimTim has been working away at newnet for the past few months and it is officially ready to be pugged on. The channel will be starting out with several gametypes: the enjoyable yet basic CTF and TDM mixed in with a little froggy style Assault and Domination action. As the channel grows, the offered gametypes will also begin to expand (such as JB and maybe even some new gametypes? ;) ).

CTF: NewNet CTF is now a reality and a large influx of high pingers are to be expected. A maplist will be honed and refined in the upcoming weeks. Sezco will be in charge of running the CTF portion of the channel and there will be lots of differences from what people are used to. Elitism, racism and excessive trolling will not be tolerated. Playing in the channel is a privilege and if people can't play nice, that privilege can easily be revoked. Another quick note is that NewNet is still in it's beta phase for weapons and that any issues that come up can and will be ironed out. Be patient and enjoy the breath of fresh air that this 14 year old game is getting.

TDM: NewNet TDM will be the standard in uPug. tdmpickups will be closing it's doors however the core of the admin staff will help out with running uPug. detox will be in charge of the TDM division and options for 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 weapons will be available on all of our servers. There will be maplist discussions in the upcoming weeks and the same expectations that were set out for CTF will also apply to TDM.

Assault/Domination: Forgotten but wonderful gametypes. Playing the same gametype vs the same people can get boring so we're hoping to add a little flavor with Assault and Domination. There is an already existing Assault community and we will be working on bringing back some oldschool players. The maplist will stay short until people start to learn some of the maps and I expect that there will be growing pains as people try to learn how to play.



Expect weekend tourneys for these gametypes that will be streamed by mrgrins on: http://www.twitch.tv/globalunrealtv

NewNet will be used exclusively in iPug/uPug and these brother channels will be their own respective yings and yangs. NewNet and GlobalUnreal are just the beginning and we have a lot planned for the future. The goal for each chan in the next 12-18 months will be to have 500+ idlers and pickup games going off at all hours of the day. LANs, meetups, sponsorship etc. is also on the agenda and we will go as far as we can take it.

That last bit of news that I will throw into this post is that GlobalUnreal will be running a UT WorldCup either next Fall or early next Winter. Details for this grand tournament will leak as the date gets closer but in the meanwhile we will continue to run premiere events. It's time to make this game a game worth playing again.

Stay tuned and fasten your seatbelts,

PACO

tl;dr.. iPug/uPug we all pug.

Can we please have normal weapon speed changing for CTF, the vast majority prefers it this way. Up to 25% faster (than normal) would be tolerable IMO and I'm sure most would have no issue with that, but currently it's too fast.
<Tim> it's going to be the same speed in all gametypes <Tim> adjust your playstyle accordingly

People who join #ipug and #tdmpickups auto join #upug- There's no problem with idling in another channel. Plus, it's not hard to close the channel if you don't want to.

#uPug had 10 pugs within the first 3 hours of it's opening last night, and 3 more pugs already today- TDM, CTF, and Assault have all been active. Hope to see it keep succeeding :D

It isn't permanent. It was done for the launch and will be off shortly.. we're just trying to let people know about another channel and keep the pugs flowing.
