Hey guys,
time to post about some stuff that happened recently:

• Dexter is back, again. Welcome buddy, add your box under "Player Info" please.

• Bachi is taking a two-months trip to Chile, so he wont be able to play for quite some time.

• SAMY turns 17 tomorrow, so make sure to wish him all the best if you see him on the servers!

• I dropped my new Deathadder and returned to the Diamondback 3G, feels much better, much more precise, much more DEADLY.

• We got a new team picture on guleague.org, which marks the 30th teamlogo since phago was founded (yep, I stored them all). Sounds like its time to put them all online somewhere, so one can see all of them again.

• Remind me to update the guleague activity graph! I already got an up to date image, just need to upload it.

• Just finished the new header image, I had the feeling its time for a fresh look. Looks a bit wrong though... I'm not entirely sure if the orange/dark-red combination is really incongruous or if its just me being used to the old image. Time will tell - and your feedback!

• Last but not least Carnage has made a very informative video about the relatively new teleporter pass, so in case you dont know how to perform it yet:

Although I find the term "hax pass" a little inappropriate and misleading, thank you very much for the video, this is great for newer players who want to get into GU.

Oh, and I havent forgotten about the "teams that made guleague what it is"-post, just didnt get around to write it yet. Was busy matching, I guess.

Since it was phago's 4th birthday on the 21st (\o/), I thought I'd take some time to talk about the my position in the team and what I've experienced in phago.

Joining phago was basically a dream come true. At that time (it's gotten a lot better ) I was pretty obsessed with BZFlag (GU). I mean.. crazy about it. There were times when I couldn't wait 'til I got home so I could match. I'd basically be online 24/7, which is one of the reasons why I have about 100 days of online time since starting GU. I always admired phago, even when I didn't know much about them. Whenever I saw Saturos or benji 13 (only ones who talked ) online I'd immediately start talking to them. About one year ago I talked to Satu on Skype for the first time. Even though we barely knew each other we talked about different things for almost an hour. The proceeding couple of weeks I got closer to benji and we finally we decided to meet. We walked around town for 3 hours while ben mostly told me about phago and the things he had experienced. I was thrilled and expressed my obvious interest in joining. About a month after that, in march, I was invited to phago. Read the full story after the jump!

Heya!

Wanted to wish all you guys a great christmas and happy holidays!! We've been a little lazy lately.. even though there's been so much going on. I'll just give you guys a brief idea of what has happened.
So, 3 weeks ago I decided to make my own team. I was desperate for some change and thought that was the right thing to do. Last Saturday however, I realized that what I had done wasn't really helping anyone and that I had been much happier on phago. I rejoined that day and am incredibly relieved that I did so. Last night, we finally played our 2000th match! (don't worry we won ) Special thanks goes to Elemental Chaos for making it happen. Bachiii, benji 13 and Saturos played vs. fastkill, hjphysioman and CE.
Another big thing coming up, is the Phago-New Year LAN! benji and I will be coming up to Berlin next weekend to for a big LAN. I'm really excited about this trip, since benji is coming along this time, too. The highlight of this trip will be the Rikers Cup taking place on January 3rd. I'm really looking forward to the Cup, especially because it's during the time of our visit! Sitting in the same room with 4 other players will double the fun. As usual we have a lot of cool things and projects planned for the LAN...that might or might not come to life.

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to my awesome birthday picture. Saturos designed a phago-tshirt. It looks amaaazing. Whenever he gets around to it, he'll upload some pictures.

Peace!
