Further information on how to join the ladders, etc. are now within that board.
Please contact Kc2000 if you need help as he has effectively taken the lead on this initiative, which we appreciate.
A big thank you goes out to all that are serving/have served. Specifically, to the many within the [IAM] Clan and Community, whom we hold dear to our hearts and either have served or continue to serve, we thank you and wish you the utmost safety in the future. The rightful respect for your service has not faded within our ranks and we truly appreciate all that you continue to do.

Added in From [IAM] Punisher:
Every year on November 11, Canadians honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country during times of war, military conflict and peace. Honour all who fight, have fought and died for the safety of our country. In remembrance, I wear my poppy proudly and thank all of those serving our country. Thank you
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. - Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
Sorry it's taken so long to announce a winner; both teams did such a good job it was very difficult to choose.
And the winner is....
TEAM 1 ! So congrats to:

If you're wondering why we chose the way we did, we felt basically that while Team 2 put in more effort (you guys had a pretty epic project going), Team 1's creation was more IAM-centric and therefore closer to what we felt the objective was. Great job everyone!
With the release of the Open Beta for BF3, many people here at [IAM] have been hopping in and gaming on the new FPS. Additionally, many members have pre-ordered this game via Origin (or other methods).
If you're interested, be sure to hop on Mumble and come game with us. It's nice to have people playing a FPS again (back to our roots). We're all experiencing some of the beta hiccups together so feel free to hop on if you're having some issues.
Beta should be open for another week (I think?), but we'll likely be playing it into the future for those of you are that are on the fence. Happy fraggin'.
Introducing the [IAM] Minecraft Tournament of Champions! What is the Minecraft ToC? Well, it's a variety of changing tasks in a completely new Minecraft world. Teams (will change each task) will try to complete the task together. At the end of each task, a winning team will be declared. Each task will involve two team captains that pick teams from a pool of pre-committed players. Any players seeking to join mid-task may be placed on a random team, not placed, or placed sequentially based on the task at hand. Prior to each task will be a sign-up sheet of people expressing their desire to play.
The tasks will not be announced PRIOR to the event. The server will be password protected while the judges prepare the events. Briefly before the task event, the teams will be PM'd the passwords and told to connect to the server/special Minecraft ToC channels with this password. The task will be detailed in the server. Questions will be answered. The final task will be posted in the forums for future reference. After that time, both teams are to complete their tasks while following the rules for the appropriate task. Any violation of the rules will result in an instant disqualification for the member, potential disqualification for the team, and potential permanent ban from the event/community (depending on severity).
We're not sure what we'll do with the actual results, but each win will be tabulated, as well as some task-specific stats and maybe we'll have fun and give out some titles/awards. Please keep an eye out for individual task threads (they will be linked within this main thread as well for future reference). Ideas for tasks can be PM'd to kMac and Anomaly (include both in PM). Try to consolidate your ideas if you have a number of them to one PM. Thanks.
The tasks will not really be "difficult" per se, but it really depends on how the team wants to accomplish them. All people will start from complete scratch in all of the tasks - so it's really about delegating properly and having a better "vision" than the other team. Thus, ALL PEOPLE OF ALL SKILL LEVELS are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to participate!
