Howdy all.

I have something here to post on behalf of Gazza who is currently sunning it up in Cyprus the 'enter suitably detrimental word here'.

Before I do I want to say a couple of personal things.

Firstly, it's our birthday soon TWK will have an official birthday on the 6th of this month - due to a lack of time we might not be able to celebrate it immediately, but expect a community event very shortly after linked with our birthday. It's always a good time to say thanks to everyone involved and again plea for suggestions and advice on how we can make things better!

Secondly, linked with the above, someone who was here from the very start is stepping down from duties as our Clan Leader and I wanted to say a personal thanks for the absolutely huge commitment to the community and particularly to the clan, which I feel has really started to become a big player in the competitive source gaming community. Luckie was one of the original senior admins who founded TWK and he has been an excellent clan leader for as long as I can remember so a huge thanks from everyone for the time and effort in an often thankless task.

So, having escaped from Gazza's clutches and a SAW like puzzle, with all limbs intact, without further ado I can post this ....

From Gazza .....

"Hey people, Gazza here and i'll be doing a weekly article containing current happenings in the TWK clan and community. You can also expect to see some news from the gaming world. This will be my way of keeping the community updated on what we are doing.

First of all I'm going to thank you! Well most of you anyway. Anyone who has helped make our community into what it is today! Whether it's by playing on one of our many servers or by donating; we are grateful. Now the emotional stuff is over, I am going to congratulate Tin and Slab who have taken over charge of the clan, and to thank Luckie for all the work he has done!

For the clan this week we saw the end of 'KGL season 8'. Although its season 8, it was TWK's first season within KGL. We beat all expectation to finish 4^th in division 3. “We were denied promotion for next season by two unlucky draws and two narrow losses. But hope to do better next season. Well done to all those who played in the matches and thanks to all the community for your support “ - Vapour (Clan member).

Now onto the community! This week brought the on-lining of a new source server, but with a competitive twist, It is a pretty damn good attempt at bringing a competitive side of source to a public side of game play. It focuses on team work as well as individual skill. So if you wanted to give it a go the IP is: 81.19.209.200:27220 – any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

As well as feedback on the new server I am personally looking for things that the community would like to see. One suggestion I've had is doing some live streams of the clan matches with commentary and explanation of what is happening throughout the match. The matches are fun to watch, and for anyone wishing to give competitive source a try, it can give you a good insight into the various aspects of playing CS:S matches as a team. Having said that, if listening to a Scottish guy describe a bunch of animated terrorists doesn't appeal to you please tell me what does! And as long as it doesn't involve me taking off clothes, getting naked or doing web cam shows, I may give it a shot.

If you do have any suggestions or anything else you would like to see in these articles please email me using this form here or leave a comment in the comment section!

Thank you

Gazza."

In case you missed it we have a brand new Deathrun server for the Community.

Come check out the Mario skins and have fun with your friends on this hilarious mod.
