On the LAMEness of dot TK

dear Lamers and new readers,

we have a hell of a week behind us. Monsterserver gets down, SG site gets down, SG as a name has to change. And to make it complete:
My registred .tk name for the blog is taken away by dot TK, the provider of this awesome URL shortener.

Why? First I believed I was to late to renew the domain, you have to renew it for free once a year. But I checked and I did so.
Probably we’re just making to much traffic after one year, and in this case – or just after one year of registration- they drop your URL.
This is the message I got:

‘You are registering a SPECIAL domain.

What is a special domain?

 This is a domain, which is of greater commercial value than a Free Domain, or even the typical Paid Domain. The criteria for a domain to be considered a SPECIAL DOMAIN, is a small number of characters (1, 2, or 3 characters, such as “a.tk”, “rs.tk”, or “abc.tk”). Or it may fall into a range of words or terms that have been identified as having greater value. For this reason, the annual registration fee is greater than for a typical Paid Domain.

We would be delighted to complete the registration for the SPECIAL DOMAIN that you have selected. It is likely to become a great piece of Internet Real Estate. With all of the good .com names already taken, it is a great idea to get your .TK now, while it is still available!

In addition to allowing users to register a Paid Domain and SPECIAL DOMAIN, Dot TK also offers you the opportunity to register a Free Domain . These are domains that can be registered for FREE and are pointed to or forwarded to an existing, live URL.”

So I checked the FREE domains. lameclanbb, lameclansg, sglameclan, lameclan2 are still free (Hooray 🙁 )

BUT: I took some initiative and registred www.lame-clan.tk for now.
hope you all agree.

I feel bad about this, especially now with the official SG-site going down.
I thing we should write them (dot TK) to reconsider, because I didn’t get a warning, they just mailed me to renew, and I did so!

Anyone who has the time and the english to help me writing an e-mail to change their mind, feel free.

Find a new name for “Smokin’ Guns”

= URGENT! =

Yes, you read that right. It’s sad, but it is likely that Smokin’ Guns will have to change, not only its site, but its name too!

Time is short since “our devs” are working hard in site migration.
This is an urgent call for proposals about a new, pertinent, sexy name for our beloved game.

Dyna-traps and knife-throwing: not your usual Thursday!

Seems like we are going to experiment 2 new types of gameplay tonight, in our weekly clan deathmatch (Terra Nova 20:30 CET).

First proposal, by Slowly John, is called “Minesweeper”, that means you can use only dyna to kill your opponents, but without lightning it … to make it explode you have to shoot at it with your gun.

Second proposal, by Biondo, two teams using only knives in Station. Each team should occupy a distinct side of the map, using the middle rail as a delimiter. So, no knife shaving will be possible, just knife throwing. It’s not allowed to kill who respawns in the wrong zone, and similarly who respawns in the wrong zone can’t kill anybody until he reaches his team. Team composition has still to be decided.

[Inspiration: The physics of knife throwing, On the job, Il coltello Bowie].
