Earlier this morning, I received this message from one of our members:

"10:39 AM - [redacted]: okay, Rish
10:39 AM - [redacted]: I got a chat request through the TF2X steam group
10:39 AM - [redacted]: and here's the log
10:39 AM - [redacted]: Never tell your password to anyone.
z_the_killer_o: Want free steam games?
http://christmastime.3a2.com"

The link in question goes to a phishing site. NEVER give your password to anyone! And if a site looks like Steam, double check before you do anything.

Please, ladies, if you receive a message like this, let one of the group admins know about it. I know we don't do much through the Steam group, but I still want to keep it as safe a place as possible. To that end, I have removed the user who sent the phishing link. And I will remove other members if necessary.

Stay safe, Mercs.

Hello ladies! And gentlemen, if any have joined this group.

Thanks to the generosity of our member ElenaMorning, we have a TF2X Mumble server. I know there have been a few posts about this recently in our sub, most notably by LordKronos.

I apologize for any confusion about this.

ElenaMorning's Mumble server:
Server IP: chi.tragicservers.com
Port: 64749
Password: powers

There is a TF2X channel in there. It's usually rather empty, but we definitely have people who join it on occasion. I tend to check several times a day and hop in if I see people.

Ladies (and gentlemen) join us in a Mumble server that is JUST FOR US!

Bar Room Heroes, a non-competitive clan, is hosting a Boys vs Girls charity event tonight. Our very own Kip will be casting the event! So let's show up, have fun in chat, and support both teams (I mean ladies, since they wiped the boys in a practice scrim).

It starts tonight at 9:30 EST, and the stream can be viewed at http://www.twitch.tv/extvesports

If the women lose, the guys will donate to the Testicular Cancer Society:

And if the men lose, the ladies will make a donation to Susan G Komen for the Cure:

Hope to see you ladies there! May the play by both teams be epic!

WELL, almost.
