There's now an arcade on the forums where you can play various flash games. You can use the link above to get to the arcade or if you're on the forums, there's a link in the top navigation bar under the main logo. The scores do save, so go ahead and start building up those scores!

You can also request flash games on the forums and we'll try to find them and get them added. Go to the General Chat and click on Arcade. Announcements for new games we add will show up there and that's where the Arcade Requests post is also.

I've already added those who have donated so far or who are not due yet to the

Happy Halloween!

The Donators Hall of Fame page has been cleaned up a bit. The server cost info to the right has also been updated and now shows what it costs ]TPG[ to run our servers and website monthly, how much has been donated and how much is needed to fully cover the rest of the server costs.

Remember, if you are interested in donating for Admin on any or all of our servers, please read our Donation page and be sure to send CrypticMayhem a PM on the forums or send him an Email. You can also Email Dagger or PM him on the forums.

Also, for all you Killing Floor fans, ]TPG[ has opened a new Killing Floor server. We aren't officially expanding into Killing Floor (yet...maybe), but feel free to play on the server:

]TPG[ Killing Floor Server - 69.12.108.95:7707

I made a few pumpkin patterns for anyone who wants to make a ]TPG[-o-lantern (I know, corny, so sue me hehe). Look for more as I feel creative.
Click here to view the patterns.

If you use any of the patterns or create your own jack-o-lantern with Total Punishment Gaming or ]TPG[ on it, please post pictures on our forums! We'd love to see them!
Feel free to share any Halloween pictures you have too (I love Halloween!).
     Rynaria - October 16, 2009 11:15 PM

Expect some interesting things to happen as we get closer to Halloween! As you can see, we're getting some "decorations" out.

Once you become a Reg, you can then use the Membership Application and post it on the forums.

I tweaked the Apply Page slightly to reflect our new application process. Currently, our Membership Applications are CLOSED and Membership is through Invitations Only. Please read the Apply Page thoroughly if you are interested in becoming a Member of ]TPG[.

There have been an alarming number of incorrect applications being submitted, so please for the love of god READ what is posted! You will be automatically DENIED if you do not follow the rules that are posted.
     Rynaria - August 12, 2009 10:02 PM

Ok! We're going through a major Member clean up where we're downgrading Members who are not active or who do not socialize regularly with the Clan to Regulars. Remember, as part of becoming a Member of ]TPG[, you are expected to not only be active in our servers, but to also be active in Ventrilo and/or on the Forums. We are a community, so communication is a necessity and a requirement for Members.

For any Members reading this, in order to remain as a Member, simply show some signs of life and be social.

We've also opened a few new servers as well as added a bank to our 24/7 Office server. All of our servers can be seen in the scrolling marquee below, so be sure to copy the IP addresses and favorite them all!
*Placing your mouse over any of the scrolling text will pause the marquee*

I'm slowly getting back into a somewhat steady schedule, so hopefully regular updates will take place once again! As it is now, there's no news to report (that I know of), so here is a video that one of our Members, ]TPG[ Crysos, has made. Enjoy:

I've been pretty busy, so updates haven't been as regular as they should be. I apologize, but other than Regs Nights carrying on every Saturday like they have been, there hasn't been much to update.

Recruitment is still on HOLD until further notice, though you can still apply to become a Regular. We've had several new servers open, so be sure you join our Public Steam Group where all the IPs are listed and announcements are made regularly. You can also get the new IPs below in our scrolling server list.

Hopefully I'll be able to get back into a regular updating schedule soon, but until then, there might not be many updates posted here for a while. The Steam Group and/or the Forums will be your best source for updates.
