kAviar reveals that ORDER-Gaming is working on a new and more professional website. Take your chance to influence us in the making of it or apply as a writer!
I think the most of you have noticed that this website looks like shit and it's kinda boring. That's why we have decided to make a new website. We have a designer that is working on a new website and logo for ORDER- Gaming. The publish date is at the moment unknown but it will probably be in the middle of October.
Nothing from this site will be saved so all members have to make a new registration on the new site which we hope all of you will do.
To make the new website active we are looking for someone who can help us update it with gaming news, news posts etc etc. If you are interested to work with us just send me pm at our irc channel #ORDER-Gaming.
If you have something special that you really would like the new site to have just leave a comment or pm me!
zentrikz aka lunGan makes his first post on ORDER-Gaming.se, reporting on what's new in the ET scene to keep you up to date.
When Quakecon opened this summer id Software announced that they would realese the source code for the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory engine and Return to Castle Wolfenstein SP and MP engine.

Open letter to ORDER-Gaming, from kAviar in the leadership
kAviar addresses today's issues in ORDER-Gaming and goes out to all the players and fans in this open letter with a wish for change.
ORDER- Gaming Today
Theres been a while since there was some actions on the ORDER site. Summer have come and the sun is more inviting then sitting in front of the computer for some of us.
We still have some teams playing who is playing during the summer and participating in the summercups.
The situation in the ORDER makes me be ashamed as a leader in this wonderful organization. I don't have the control of which teams who's playing and what lineup they got. The level is as low as it can gets and I take the responsibility for it. vArgen promoted me to be a leader with him because he had lost the interest a bit and needed help with everything. It's time for a change and i think that most of you agree with me.
ORDER- Gamings future
From now on there wont be a team playing in the ORDER who's not informing us constantly hows it going. Since its a multigamingclan is the communication extremely important and it need improvement from all the teams especially the captains. So we need all the captains inform me ( kAviar ) how the situation is today with the lineup and so.
The website will get updated hopefully once a week with news and articles too. News about how the teams is doing and what lineup they are playing with etc.
We also want YOUR help to make ORDER better, we want your opinion on changes you think we should do or improvements that needs to be done. Just comment bellow what you think or send me a pm on IRC. Both me and vArgen are open for discussions of new ideas and improvements!
Ive already got some people telling me that they are willing to start writing some news for the website but we need some people to write some articles too.
My goal is to get ORDER- Gaming back on track but we need your help on the way. I hope all of you who read this will start be more active in the communication with us leaders and that this is a new start for the ORDER!
ORDER-Gaming.se has enjoyed weekly updates for over 2 years now. I (vArgen) have other priorities for the moment and that is why I need YOU to help me, and the rest of the ORDER, to keep the site updated with fresh content.
Interested writers contact: kAviar at IRC, #ORDER-Gaming, nick: ESL|kAviar or ESL|KAVIAR for BNC.
kAviar comments on his new job in the leadership "I'm gonna make my best effort to handle the responsibilities I have been given to make the ORDER into the best place possible for you guys who are representing us."
As a result of the continuing expansion of the ORDER and that vArgen was going a little inactive, kAviar was added to the leadership to take care of things, and help to bring in new and fresh ideas. kAviar has a long history with the ORDER, and although he isn't liked by everyone, he is believed to be fair and honest. We talk to kAviar about his new job, what changes he aims to bring and much more.
Hello kAviar, you have been promoted to the leadership recently. What does this mean?
It means that the leadership is shared between me and vArgen. We decide on what teams we are going to give the chance to play in the ORDER. We also take care of all the players who needs our help.
Basicly it's the same as before, just that we share the responsibilities now.
You have started with some work already, tell us what you have been doing!
One of the first things I did was to give the opportunity for H1KO and jAck (former ORDER Cherry and Kiwi backups) to create a new team, ORDER Guava. If they succeed with maintaining the team stable they will get the priviledge to represent the ORDER. I believe it's good to give people a chance to make something good rather than just to say no all the time.
H1KO (previously known as Om3ga) is back in the ORDER on trial with his new team, ORDER Guava. kAviar decided, as one of the first things he did in the leadership, to give H1KO and his friend jAck the chance to create a new team.
Another thing I've done is to change the admin password on our ventrilo server. The last password had been used for almost 2 years and had leaked to almost everyone on the server. That rendered the password protected channels useless since the admin password gives the possibility to access locked channels.
I believe the admin password should be for admins and some trustees only to actually used the locked channels for what they are designed for - privacy. And to avoid unnecessary kicks and bans.
With the new admin password on ventrilo Jona can rest easy. The risk of being moved to the "vi gillar flenslukter"-channel is drasticly minimized.
So, why the need for privacy? Isn't it a positive thing with an open community?
To begin with, we ARE an open community - even with password protected channels on ventrilo. This just means we can get more out of our time. Imagine a scenario where I and/or vArgen is speaking to someone in privacy about a matter which is important and someone comes in to our channel asking if we are playing or not. That might not be such big of a deal, but when it happens over and over again it gets annoying.
I'm not gonna mention any names, but there are some people on the server that values a private conversation, or just want to "stay away" from someone for a while, I think that should be a certainty on our server. It doesn't mean in any way that we are less friends because of that. It is a problem which needs to be dealt with for everyones comfort and I am glad to have solved it.
kVESPonG is now, after the new ventrilo reform, responsible for the "kVESPonG's retards of HoN"-channel on ventrilo. For the password of the channel and the subchannels, PM him.
The only thing that has changed is that you need to remember your passwords, and that's not too much to ask.
Fair enough. Go over the rules for the channels on ventrilo!
The most important thing for the ones who uses our ventrilo server is that YOU HAVE TO WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORDS. I can't stress that enough. I will not be some public service that will give you passwords if you lost them or can't remember them.
However, feel free to send me a PM on IRC if you need a password for a channel and I will gladly give it to you, just write it down and share it with your friends who you use the channel (or channels) with.
kAviar hopes to see the "main" ORDER return to the fall. In the meanwhile he is working to improve the ORDER on all fronts. If you have any questions regarding the organization, the ventrilo or about creating something new in the ORDER - pm kAviar on IRC.
If you are the captain, or trustee, of your team, you can ask me for the admin password of your channel so you can modify it yourself with subchannels, passwords for those subchannels, or even a new password for the entire channel. If you have changed the password for the main channel YOU are RESPONSIBLE for that password and that it goes out to all your friends and teammates.
The spring season is soon over and we have a summer break up ahead. How will the fall look for the ORDER?
Hopefully we will have the same teams playing for us as we have today. Maybe even some new teams and new projects. Our goal is to make the ORDER continue to grow and get bigger and better.
We are going to look over the overall quality of the ORDER and make sure that we are a responsible community that everyone with the right attitude and mentality are welcome to. Time will tell how successful we are. I'm gonna make my best effort to handle the responsibilities I have been given to make the ORDER into the best place possible for you guys who are representing us.
kAviar wants AlleViate to return to the ORDER for the fall season. Alle has recently returned home from some intensive weeks of spring break-partying and is aiming to finish off the remaining exams of school before going on summer vacation.
Finally kAviar, any news on the "main" ORDER team?
The main team will hopefully be back again for the fall. It all depends on vArgen to be honest. If he wants to give it another go as captain that is, but I'm not sure how the team will look at all. Me and vArgen will have a talk about this and see where it leads. I hope to see the same guys return again at least.
Thanks for the talk kAviar and best of luck with your new job in the leadership! Next up on ORDER-Gaming.se - We are going to try to catch the ORDER's latest Warsow signing, sANDEKERU, for an interview.
