Haiku Contest!

CabalSEA sees new patch!

Easter events in many games!

A plethora of tournaments in many sections!

Developing Skills Most of us know of events long past, and the less-than-likable actions

and failings of development in the past. This was indeed a terrible

time for Development, and Warrior Nation™ as a whole. Thankfully,

we had some good leaders take the stage and lead development into the

green once more.

WNx the will tactic was a great leader of Development. His tireless efforts and

good choices for leadership helped bring Development back from the brink.

One choice in particular stands out above the rest: his choice for WNxDHare3

as Colonel.

As soon as WNxDHare3 hit the scene as a Colonel in Development, he began taking the

initiative in transforming Development into a more viable Department than it had been in quite

awhile. Through his internal organization and his training of Development Engineers and game lead-

ers, he ensured the prospering of Development, and the increases veracity of the clan by pushing

out well-developed sections.

As such, when WNx the will tactic made the difficult choice to step down, there was but one clear

figure to choose. WNxDHare3 took the reigns as the new Brigadier General of Development. He has

been an active and inspiring leader, and will continue to be a shinning example to all. Congratula-

tions WNxDHare3, very well deserved indeed!

Letter From the Editors Hello all from the Editorial staff. It’s time again for another issue of The Nation in its brand new

format. Last month’s trial issue gave us good insight into what needed changes, and through your

feedback and the feedback found throughout the Creative Works, we have hopefully fixed some

majors mistakes and corrected some minor ones.

This month, our Combat Journalism staff put forth great effort to submit the reports on time in

prime format. The Editors quickly got to work, and here you have our first issue in months that is on

time. We’ve hopefully set a standard for the future by which all others will be compared. We hope

you will enjoy this issue, and look forward to more to come. Cheers!

Call of Duty: Modern War-fare 2 (PS3)

The section was looking forward to a

double XP weekend, but they are

unsure whether it is intended for

Xbox only. Hopefully it is also for PS3

as they're looking forwarded to

having some fun whilst leveling up.

WNxLeftForDead is thinking of ideas

for a 3v3 Tournament. He wants 12

people to sign up and hopes that this

month they can hold a 3v3 Tourna-

ment. More news on this will be

noted on next report.

WNxPwnstar got the satisfaction of

nuking a group of people who gave

them hassle before. He has made a

youtube video showing his skills and

kills against them. Take a look in the

PS3 section and see the awesome

killing spree!

A BIG congratulations to the section on getting out of Dev after a 3 month period of time. Finally

the section is free and can hopefully give you us great news for our monthly mag. The section is

off to a good start with their first Major WNxShifty and his first request was to get a crack staff

team to whip the section into shape. Please congratulate the following Captains: FO Captain -

WNx4evaWasted BO Captain - WNxMoros and WNxCallum as Recon Captain. These guys will

hopefully crack the section and start getting the some people out and playing!

So as you could imagine this month was a busy month; with getting events and training in! With

all those recruits in I took a look at the roster and saw that they have a total of 36 primaries and

11 Secondaries. This is bloody great for a new section although some have been missing a rollcall

or two. So if you guys are reading; get signing now!

As well as the previous section, Halo 3 is widely supported by the UNSC, with 15 primary mem-

bers (for those of you who don’t know, the borderline for console games is not 15 but 10 mem-

bers, so don’t be afraid!). This section has also welcomed four new members this month. As well

as his older brother, Halo 3 organizes gamenight regularly, hosted by the major WNxAzotum, and

a “Flag tournament” is in preparation, which is basically a timed capture the flag. Concerning

promotions, WNxZ33 has been chosen to be the new Recon captain of the section.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 EU (Xbox 360)

A big day arrived for the Xbox section as they

had a new surprise coming out on the 30th

March, yes you guessed it! The MW2 map

pack, called the “Stimulus Package,” which

involves two of the old maps from CoD4:

Crash and Overgrown. There are also a few

new maps including Storm, Bailout, and Sal-

vage.

Modern Warfare 2 will also be having a dou-

ble XP weekend from the 2nd to the 5th.

Therefore, the section will get both new maps

and double XP! The CoD MW2 section is going

to have some great fun! Join them if you have

the game!

The section also has two new captains! Please

congratulate WNxButtChuckles and

WNxMcCLURE361 on receiving Recon Captain

(ButtChuckles) and Battle Ops Captain

(McCLURE). Congratulations you two! We

(along with your section) will be eager to see

some of your work to report on!

Left 4 Dead 2 Expansion

Although there is not much going on

in this section as a whole, Left 4 Dead

2 is getting an expansion that will

include the cast from the original

game.

Inactivity

There really has not been that many

posts in the section in a very long

time. Hopefully this will change over

the course of the next month.

MAG (PS3) Out of Development

MAG, a fairly recent game released for the Playstation 3, has had great support and even has

more members then some regular sections. Therefore, the section has now made it out of devel-

opment and was added to the Console section. WnxHighRuler has been named the sections first

Major and WnxAssertiveBard has been named the sections first Captain of Battle Operations. It is

great to see a section make it this far and I am sure that the section will continue to impress all of

Warrior Nation™.

Lots of Recruits

So, how does a section make it out of development? Well, the answer to that is simple and that

is by recruiting, and recruit they did. MAG has had 9 new members and 2 members change their

primary in order to join just in the month of March. Great work guys, you really have worked

hard to get this section moving.

Gamenights

Another major aspect of any section is of course gamenights and events. Well, although no day

has been set for gamenights WnxHighruler is working on fixing this by creating a poll to see what

day is best for everyone. We will just have to wait and see what is planned for this section.

Guild Wars Series

Fissure of Woe – An event took

place on March 27, in which mem-

bers of the section tackled the Fis-

sure of Woe and smashed their previ-

ous time by over 30 minutes. A good

time was had by all who participated.

April Fool’s Joke – A surprise to those

who ventured into town on April 1st

this year spread good natured laughs

and cheer throughout the forum and

in game. The primary characters

were reduced to pygmies while their

pets were super-sized. Memories of

last year’s joke came into play as

those who were around remembered

how all of the characters were trans-

formed into Gwen dolls.

Allusion to Guild Wars 2 storyline? –

A love story was discovered between

Gwen and Lieutenant Thackeray. It is

said that this leads to a character in

Guild Wars 2 who happens to be a

Thackeray himself and quite possibly

a descendant of Gwen. Only time will

tell.

CabalSEA

Activity – Diablo 2 West ended up on probation this month and is in danger of being removed

from the list of games with Warrior Nation and its members merging with Diablo 2 East and

Diablo 2 Europe which would likely result in one section for all of Diablo 2. Without someone to

step up and push for a dramatic recruiting spree it looks as though the section will no doubt

merge with East again. Hopefully someone reading this will do something to light the spark of

interest of those members who have left or to recruit those yet to join Warrior Nation.

Recon – CabalSea is seeking new recruits to

help bolster their roster and bring back the

section to the level of activity it once had. Do

you have what it takes? CabalSea is a free

MMORPG game that awaits your download.

Visit www.cabalsea.com for more details.

New Patch! – As of March 29, a new patch

released brings Illusion Castle and Steamer

Crazy to add to the fun that is CabalSEA. In

Illusion Castle, the character style must be

above 120 with a battle style above level 11.

The reward for completing this dungeon is

10,000 Honor Points and the dungeon dura-

tion is 2 hours. Don’t have that much time?

Try Steamer Crazy. This dungeon duration is

25 minutes and requires only a character style

level above 110 with a battle style above level

10. A new weapon has also been unveiled

with the latest patch. The item is dropped

from a Legendary Box after defeating the boss

in the Illusion Castle. Don’t fret if you do not

receive it after killing the boss the first time,

as there is only a chance that the item will

drop. The item itself is class specific, and

spawns with 3 random unique options.

Diablo 2 - West

New Patch and Ladder Reset – March 23, marked the release of Patch 1.13c and the ladder reset

to start season 6. There is much speculation that this may be the last patch before Diablo 3

comes out, but with the amount of time it took Blizzard to release this patch, it may be years

before Diablo 3 makes its debut.

New Mystery Revealed – In addition to the re-specialization reward for completing the Den of

Evil quest in each difficulty, another opportunity to reset stats and skills exists. Similar to the keys

that open portals leading to “Uber Tristram”, upon killing bosses throughout the game there

arises the possibility of an “Essence” to drop. These “Essences” when combined in the Horadric

Cube create a “Token of Absolution” which when right clicked resets your stats and skills.

Activity on the Rise - With the onset of a new ladder season and patch 1.13c, activity in game has

been higher that it has in over a year. The section is friendly and will welcome anyone interested

as primary, secondary or non-primary with open arms.

“Due to a recruiting event the section has been holding there are twenty five new members!” -PangYa

Knights Online last month activity (on forums at least) seems to be way “relaxed”, and even

dangerous for the section life, last month roll call summary gave sixteen primary's and three

secondary's which can be a problem since a section needs 20 as minimum to stay in Warrior

Nation, now it's just a matter of waiting for this months rollcall and wish them the best of luck.

But something good is that they have got five new members and one is coming back to the sec-

tion, that may well help them on this month rollcall’s numbers.

The game is getting a serious problem with the hackers and duping items, and their trading sys-

tem is disabled for now, this reminds me about the situation of other RPG sections, Pangya also

had and still do have that problem, I can’t understand why people need to hack and annoy hon-

est people. Anyway lets wish Knights Online the best of luck, to recover and don’t go to proba-

tion.

The Never Winter Knights last months activity was ok, they have got many game nights which

shows that the members are active. There was just a new member, but the little recruiting activ-

ity doesn’t affect the section since the last roll call summary gave them a nice twenty nine pri-

mary's members and eight secondary. The section is working smooth and is no longer in danger,

but like all section recruiting it is always something good so lets hope they recruit more people

this month, and that their rollcall summary gets bigger, and if it doesn’t it’s also ok.

A section which fell from the greatness to the deep dark abyss. Anyhow PangYa’s last roll call

summary dropped a thirty eight primary’s and five secondary, thirty nine is quite good for any

section, not as good as past number which were above the sixty, but the section is on its way to

been big again. Due to a recruiting event the section has been holding there are twenty five new

members!

The section is also running a guild shirt event which is on hold because the people in charge of

the design are not getting much time to talk about the topic, but it will be a nice event.

Also last month some changes in some of the sections administration, last month the old sec-

tion’s major resigned from his job and promoted WNXVampeira to Major and WNxLauris to FO

Captain, but the new Major couldn’t do her job because of serious real life problems, therefore

WNxLauris took her roll as Major until WNXVampeira could be back. There have been other

changes too, WNxRyanne has been promoted to BO captain. And WNxNightSider to MP.

Rose Online

As of 04/01 Rose Online updated to

patch V.252 this included:

Several new information windows.

These windows will display when

your character reaches milestone

levels, such as Level 40 for planet

Luna quest, level 50 for the ability to

drive carts, and so on. They also

added various items to the item mall.

Several changes were made to skills,

some item stats, buffs, and nerfs.

Finally this patch also corrected 3

bugs.

At present no events of a large na-

ture are scheduled any time soon.

For those hoping for an Easter event at Runescape... well congratulations you get your wish!

In this year’s Easter holiday event, you’ll once again visit Easter bunny Jr's egg plant factory. This

year you can expect many of the similar tasks as last year, but with the addition of him needing

you to manage the whole facility.

Last Friday, March 26th, Runescape conducted the first ever big ticket prize draw. The winner

wins a lifetime membership to Runescape along with an all expense paid trip to their studio's.

Let's cross our fingers, and wish our Warrior Nation Runescape players luck that it might be one

of them.

Their next big Prize draw will be done April 26th. So keep your fingers crossed all month. For

more info on how to be eligible. just go to the Runescape homepage.

On a slightly twisted Side note. April 1st allowed some of the more gullible to fall for a Runescape

joke. Where they offered a "cheese shield". Needless to say some were spoofed, but in a show of

good sportsmanship Runescape has release it's newest Wet N Wildy map at http://

services.jagex.com/m=news/img/Large/wildy_en.jpg

Same as February this section is experiencing a low activity, and they are not getting new re-

cruits, last month they’ve got just two new members, and just a small number are active on

forums, I don’t know how many more months this section can get a roll call summary under the

20 primary’s but with last month roll call they have survived two, the last roll call summary

dropped a 15 primary's and 5 secondary, if there are just three months then they will need to

work a lot to make those numbers grow, as for now they will probably fall on probation and

that's never good thing for a section, hopefully they will make the section recover and be safe

from been archived.

Runes of Magic

Runescape

For those interested in a fun fantasy based

game, this might be a game you can really get

into. Dual class characters, two races to

choose from, and a constantly expanding

world. This month in Runes Of Magic are

eagerly awaiting the start of the Easter special

events. Although no specifics have been given

yet.

All are hoping that this years Easter event will

be as fun as last years event. Of course there

will be the special event Gashas which we

have come to love. For those who don't know

what a Gasha is, it is a surprise package which

doesn't simply contain one item but also give

you the opportunity to get another item for

free!

For a full list of what the Gashas can contain.

juicier details of this highly anticipated expan-

sion of the Runes Of Magic universe.

Battlefield Heroes

Danger

The section desperately needed to

pull together in March in order to

survive in WN, they also had to find a

new Major. Hopefully WNxNemesis

will be able to help the section ma-

jorly and is already trying to organize

events in-game.

Battlefield 2/2142

Time To Kick It Into Gear

The section needed to make a big

effort this past month to recruit new

members, WNxBadPlayer popped in

to motivate members to recruit.

However the section soon found

itself needed a new Major, which

they got in the form of WNxNay. Nay

has been trying to motivate members

with a Recruitment Event, whilst also

in need of finding a new FO.

Air Rivals

Friendly Competition

The BO Captain WNx Jazka has been organizing a Championship Tournament for the members to

get in some competition. Jazka has also been encouraging the section to get a few Smack

Matches in to keep themselves entertained. Apart from that there isn't much else to report on,

hopefully there'll be more next month as well as the results of the tournament.

'Murder?' - Air Rivals are a violent place and

like to "kill their Major". This is an event

where the Major hides in a map and then the

FO Captain WNxKingPin gives a cryptic mes-

sage to give you a hint where he is then you

must find him hiding then duel him and de-

feat him! There is a countdown until this

event! So if you like the sound of it then go

join in for the fun! More on this next report.

The section was recently looking for a new BO

Captain and a Recon captain. The long journey

of searching took a whole 2 weeks but they

managed to snag some suckers, I mean catch

some apps and the Major has chosen his next

slaves! Please congratulate WNxSharp911

BOC and WNxHostiles RC! Hope you guys do

well in your task ahead! Now get to work!

Cause for Celebrations - A Special congratula-

tions to WNxSharp911 as his wife is pregnant

and they got a 3D picture of the baby. The

baby is due on the 9th of June and is looking

great so far. Best wishes to you and your wife

Sharp and hope the baby is not too much of a

handful for you.

C&C Renegade

Area 51

Glory?

There have been many exciting things happening in the C&C section to mention. To start with

WNxOfzo was promoted at the start of the month to be the new FO Captain for the section. The

section also saw one of its members awarded the Member of The Month award, WNxAimer a

member from the section was nominated and received the award for the Renegade section.

An Eventful Month

Well it would be fair to say the section is always busy, holding their usual traing sessions and

events throughout the month. However this month saw the winner of the February Screenshot

Contest, WNxDragon being announced. Recon Captain WNxKenny has also been creating a bit of

competition with his 'Race to the Top of the Ren Ladder'. As well as members holding matches

against each others...You'd think though that the Ren section would be excelling in the FPS Chal-

lenge with such frequent events?

“When you look at their forums you'll see great activity, match reports every-where, events being set up a lot, exciting contests and of course important mes-sages.” -Call of Duty 4 (PC)

When you look at their forums you'll see great activity, match reports everywhere, events being

set up a lot, exciting contests and of course important messages. This section has also been

working hard to recruit, with a few members they set up a great recruiting event and even made

it into the Top 5 section of WN.

Beyond filled our agenda!

WNxBeyond set up some events for this week, this great member does everything for the sec-

tion. So yeah, Monday? Training of course! Tuesday? Interclan! It goes on and on, so cancel all

your appointments and show up for some fun!

Movie Mode

The members of the COD 4 section are in the mood to make movies. I watched three of them

already which were great and I'm expecting more soon. I'm sure everyone is wanting to see

them, so go check them out at the forums!

Like always the UO Section is as active as ever, holding their usual training sessions and game

nights. There were also a couple of field promotions in the section. Also a few WaWa matches

have been played, to check the status of those you can check out the forum.

2x2 Tourney Coming Up

Last time there was a 2x2 Tourney it was very successful, so they put one up again. The competi-

tion was created, and to join it you can read the thread on the UO forums.

In this section there were also a lot of things going on, with quite a few matches and events

taking place. Ofcoures this month again, the Call of Duty 2 section is in the Top 3 of biggest sec-

tions in the WN Clan. We even managed to attract back our old Major, WNxGixxercarl.

Winner of the Screenshot Contest

This great, loyal person has won the prize. WNxBedanarr! Great work, and keep it up!

Call of Duty 2 (PC)

Day of Defeat: Source

The figures are not so good for the

section. With only 12 primary mem-

bers and no newcomers this month,

DOD:S is now in Recon. As part of the

Recon Black Ops team, WNxAwp666

is now in charge of increasing activity

and recruitment in the section. As a

consequence, Awp666 organized a

Day of Defeat Source 1v1 tourna-

ment. Contestants are going to play

until one of them reaches 40 frags,

on the map Anzio. Eight players are

part of it, and involves some of them

are secondary members. Good luck

to all of you!

A crucial save for the CA sections as they have just scraped 15 Primaries for this month. I hope

next month there are a few more recruits and the section firmly gets back to it's feet!

The Combat Arms section has a wicked ninja who managed to knife a guy with a peepee-19 on a

1v1. His team chanted him on and told him he is the only 'True Ninja'. Hopefully his ninja skills

can keep the section going strong!

WNxZavon wants all the members of the Combat Arms to write their in game names in the

known thread for obvious reasons as a mix up could happen in game or people could be removed

for not knowing that they are in WN etc. so if you're in the section post your name up now!

The section has managed to recruit two new members but on the other hand there has been a

few saying their goodbyes. This might be it for the WaW section but hopefully they can escape it

back and recruit a few before the end of this rollcall or they will be forced to shut down which

would be a real shame.

WNxNemesadi has come up with a frag fest contest where you go out and take a rage on a server

and get a load of kills, then take a screenshot and post it in the thread. No one yet has sent in a

SS but hopefully there will be some people joining in.

Best wishes to you guys on getting your 15 primaries! I hope it all goes well for those who are

trying to keep the section alive! You guys can do it!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC)

Combat Arms

This great and active section has had many

things going on, including some promotions.

WNxBadger got promoted to BO with

WNxShazz stepping down. Also we have

WNxCombalex taking the place of Military

Police!

1x1 Tourney

A special 1x1 Tourney, Riot Shield only! The

rules are written in a thread made by

WNxSilver1

The Final Bout tournament!

Every primary and secondary can compete in

this, it's also 1x1. When you win a match or

lose a match you get points, though if you

forfeit you lose one.

At the end of the month the points will be

checked and the winner will be given a trophy

and a place in the Challenger Hall of Fame!

For now WNxCombalex is on top with eight

points, followed by WNxZaptagious and

WNxBadgar with six points.

Call of Duty: World at War (PC)

Dystopia

After the great exodus of February

2010, only 15 primary members are

remaining and dystopia is on the

brink of being put in probation. The

newly promoted major, WNxGump,

decided to handle things, for instance

trying to organize a gamenight…

without success. Unfortunately,

activity is at its lowest point for a

long time and only a few members

are willing to follow the major, trying

to give birth to a brand new Dystopia

section.

Golden Eye: Source

Contrary to the two previous sec-

tions, Goldeneye is doing well with

almost 50 primary members and a

good amount of activity; with two

gamenights per week and a bunch of

tournaments in progress. Besides, at

the moment this article is written,

this section is ranked 2nd in the FPS

challenge. At this occasion, ”David vs

Goliath”, a tournament where the

player has to struggle against the two

admins of Goldeneye (WNxCJL9788

and WNxBadPlayer) took place dur-

ing the month, with 12 participants.

The winner being the one with the

highest Kill Death Ratio. WNxSkipper

won the tournament, with a KDR of

0.89. Also, a graphic design contest

to replace the Steam and Xfire sec-

tion’s group image was held during

February. The winner is not known at

the moment. Finally, WNxNozzy has

been elected Member of the Month

by the major, WNxPPK.

Left 4 Dead

Out of the Gutter

It is no secret that the Left 4 Dead section has had lots of trouble keep their heads above water in

terms of member count over the past few months. However, this last month they had twenty

primary members sign, with most of them being active participants in both the forums and

Events. This seems to be the light at the end of the tunnel for them, as they will be safe from

probation for now the second month in a row. Since March 1st they have had seven new prima-

ries, one new secondary, and one returning primary. With the recruits seemingly pouring in, it

will be interesting to see what the future holds for them. Let us all give a great big congratula-

tions to their officers WNxWesker, WNxHedgehog and WNx The Pope, as well as all their mem-

bers both new and old.

Events Galore

How is it that an old dying section was able to work their way back to semi-respectable numbers?

Well, they have had no shortage of events and plan on having even more. In the month of March

they have had many a successful gamenight. These gamenights are the meat that keeps this

section together and also what helps them to appeal to new members. In addition to

gamenights, they also have a forum contest called the 'March Caption Contest' which ended on

March 30th. WNxThe Pope was declared as the winner of the contest, so let us all give him a

great big congrats. Although most of their Events have been successful the Man Vs Tank Tourna-

ment was canceled due to lack of interest they should be starting a new tournament very shortly.

Promotions

Due to all the activity in this section there were three people who were granted field promotions

for the month of March. WNxSkipper and WNxJWelch were both promoted to Corporal while

WNxBlood Raven was promoted to Sergeant. Also there were several Honorable mentions for

the new members who have not been here quite long enough to be given a promotion this

month. Also, WNxHedgehog was promoted to Major due to WNxWesker stepping down and

changing primary. He is still searching for both an FO and now a newly opened Recon position. 11

A hanging scene from Left 4 Dead.

Halo (PC)

Supported by the whole UNSC, Halo

numbers among the most active

sections of the Nation. Some new

members arrived to reinforce the

roster which is already well-filled.

The leadership regularly hosts two

gamenights, in addition to some

tournaments and contests, like a 1v1

tournament and even a recruitment

contest. Also, the leadership of the

section has changed a bit : WNxNessy

has to resign from his major position,

WNxJÏNGØ has been chosen to re-

place him. In addition to this,

WNxKaRath and WNxThorsTer have

been promoted respectively to field

ops captain and recon captain. And

last but not least, WNxWolf is the

Member of March 2010.

Team Fortress 2

Activity

Although there has not been very much activity in this section, Aegis from Black Ops has stepped

in to help the leadership get this section back in the heat of the action. The current attempt is to

have two Outfit nights a week. Hopefully this will help and we will see this section back in the

safe zone sometime soon.

Recruit, Recruits, and More Recruits

So, in the month of March Team Fortress 2

had a grand total of twelve new members

joining their ranks. There was even one day

that there were five members recruited dur-

ing one single event. I think we know by now

to always expect great things, especially in the

area of recruiting from this section.

Events

The only thing that Team Fortress 2 has had

more than recruits is events. In the month of

March they have had 8 game nights, only now

instead of them being an hour long they go

much longer due to merging the recruiting

nights and the game nights into one weekly

event. They also are having a monthly tourna-

ment and a monthly forum's contest.

Shattered's Word

Shattered's word is a forum contest in which

Shattered posts a riddle and participants PM

him the answer. Those who get it correct

receive rep from shatteredsword himself. This

month's riddle was “What goes around the

world but stays in a corner? The answer, for

those of you who don't already know, was a

stamp. Five people got it correct, with WNx

Krit Sandvich being the first to answer cor-

rectly.

A Team Fortress 2 Group Shot!

War Rock

Planetside

Keep Fighting

Although War Rock only had 19 primary members this month, they keep growing and look like

they are going to just be getting stronger. They had seven new members this month and at the

rate they are growing that number can only go up.

Promotions

At the beginning of the month WNxJaideep was promoted to BO after showing how hard he

could work as MP. He worked so hard as BO that when WNxZacboi101 stepped down from ma-

jor, the final decision rested on WNxJaideep getting a second promotion in the same month.

New Members!

Please welcome the 4 newest members in the OGame Alliance: WNxNutella, WNxConan,

WNxLadyDufal and WNxFearLess. Also welcome WNxKOTR, WNXTrillian, WNxLittleRage and

WNxWattZ who joined the section as well.

WN Scared Them Off

The war between WN and the JEDI/SITH looks to be over, as WN scared most of the JEDI/SITH

members into vacation mode. This gives WN time to rebuild their fleets and now they are waiting

for The JEDI/SITH members to come out of vacation, so they can blow them up.

Weirdest Expedition's

Captain Steeler told the troops to try and find the Weirdest Expedition result. After a slow start

the members of OGame started finding the weirdest results they could, the event ends at the

end of the month and it's going to be close on whoever wins it.

Another Millionaire

WNxArby has joined those privileged few, being another WNx Member reaching over 1 million

points. This is a grand achievement in OGame and also very time consuming.

Truly Awesome

WNxLocklear, GM of the DOW II section, has displayed a whole new level of awesome, as he

achieved a true skill of 31. WNxLocklear is showing that he is in the top group of players in DOW

II. He is also currently ranked 74th in the world in 2v2 games.

GTI Contest - March

Another guess the item contest was held this month. Five members participated in this contest

and perhaps the item was to easy to guess, as all 5 of the members got the correct answer, but

as WNxLocklear was the fastest of them all, he gets the win.

Loyalists of WN

Congratulations to WNxClash and WNxManiac who received their 4 year loyalty medals early this

month. Both of these members have been with the section for a long time and it looks like they

will stay for a long time.

League of Champions

The League of Champions (LoC) is a friendly 1v1 season where each week, WNxLocklear selects

two members to vs. each other. The First match of the LoC 2010 season was between WNxAbad-

don and WNxVioletHeart. WNxAbaddon proved that he was the better player and won the first

match of the 2010 season. The Second match was also played late in march between WNxFUBAR

and current champion WNxAbaddon, WNxAbaddon went 2-0 this season as he cruised to victory

against WNxFUBAR.

The End of the Feb 1v1 Tournament

DOW II's 1v1 tournament finally concluded in late march, This 1v1 tournament was long and

tiring for many, but three stood above the rest and took gold, silver and bronze. In 3rd place with

the bronze... WNxAerin, in 2nd place with the silver... WNxDarkRaven and in 1st place with the

shiny gold... WNxMarvin. Congratulations to the 3 of you, especially WNxMarvin the tournament

winner.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II

C&C Series

A hard congratulations to

WNxShotty, former major of the

section for being promoted to Recon

Black Ops. This left a vacant spot

which was filled by WNxRad, an

obvious choice for the section!

With the release of C&C4, the section

is seeing a large drop in numbers due

to transfers. While some still remain,

the majority of players are transfer-

ring. The future is always full of sur-

prises, so don't count them out yet!

Ladder Reset

Good news for some and bad news for others. As a new season starts, the WC3 Ladder rankings

reset and WNxPook is trying to lead a charge and gather as many members as possible to help

get WNx into a high ranking in the Clan Solo Ladder. Only time will tell if WNxPook is successful.

New Xfire Clan Image

As the old one was WNxMirager decided to hold a contest for the designers of the section, in

order to get a new Xfire Clan Image. WNxTrinity rose above the rest and easily won the contest

with his magnificent piece of art.

Haiku Contest

Basically Japanese poetry, but not in Japanese . WNxPook proved that he isn't just an awesome

solo ladder player, when he won this contest easily, getting all the votes.

1v1 DotA Tournament

WNxShazzam hosted his first event this month, holding a 1v1 DotA tournament. Eight players

signed up and the first round was done within a week. The Round 1 results were WNxEric def.

WNxfearlessmuse, WNxWeeeooo def. WNxMirager, WNxNeru def. WNxWattZ & WNxShazzam

New DotA 6.67

The newest DotA map was released late march, showing major hero changes, This is a good thing

for DotA players, as they can try to get accustomed to the changes.

New Patch

Patch 1.24e came up in early March, it only

had five fixes in it, but all related to hacks.

Blizzard reacted very quickly towards this

hacks, sensing a problem of them. One of the

hacks was called a 'sheep hack' where it turns

all the units into sheep... A bit weird isn’t it?

Hopefully Blizzard can keep patching and keep

the hacks on the public servers.

Will it survive!

After having ever-increasing inactivity, WC3

EU has found its FO, RG and its Recon HG

dismissed as they weren't meeting the stan-

dards of recruiting given by the Recon Depart-

ment. As both these spots were opened up,

the only current leadership role belongs to

the GM, WNxCominBk2life. The WC3 EU

section is surely going to be archived as soon

as Starcraft 2 is released as the majority of

their members including ex-leadership and

current leadership will join the Starcraft 2

section. Many thought they would stay alive

to then, but now it seems that it will not.

Heroes of Newerth

HoN has not been so active on the

last month but neither so inactive, I

can say they have been “moderated”

active, which a nice amount of game

nights but not exceeded which is not

bad actually. WnxHugs4Peace has

been promoted to Recon Capt. on

the last month. There are also two

new members on the section and

they are: WNxiRANDUMBF and

WnxRaven. As for the field ranks

there were a lot of promotions but I

can’t list them all here because it

would be a long space used...

HoN last roll call summary dropped a

good number with thirty two pri-

mary’s and eight secondary’s which is

a very good number. And the last

thing to report of HoN is that they

just added a new sub-forum to dis-

cuss about competitive games.

Ikariam.org Gamma

On the last month three new mem-

bers join IG crew and they are:

WNxScholes, WNxPolar and WNxKing

Ibby.

There is not to much to write about

the section because they haven been

experience some activity problem,

but I am sure they will get more

activity on this new month. Their last

roll call number were eighteen pri-

mary’s and six secondary. Not pro-

motion to talk about more than a few

field rank promos. Three member

achieved the two years loyalty medal

and they are WNxDEM, WNxVicious

Bunny and WNxRaelaszun.

Battle for Middle-Earth II Strength & Beyond

The Battle for Middle-Earth II section is going, going, strong! With the rollcall results showing 20

primaries, the game is well-to do, but plans on focusing on recruitment.

Moving On Up

To aid in game activities, and increase recruitment efforts, GM WNxGaleth promoted two cap-

tains. WNxMurder, to increase in-game activities as HG Battle Ops, and WNxHarakDem to head

the recruitment command as HG Recon.

Activities & Recruitment

Gamenights are an important time for this section. Held on Saturdays and Sundays, attendance

varies but shows Sundays to be strong! Aside from gamenights, a screenshot contest was an-

nounced with a "free for all" attitude. HarakDem also announced a 2v2 tournament hosted at

http://www.gamereplays.org. The winner is set to receive a possible C&C Key! Good luck to all!
