Hey all!  I wanted to drop a little note and let you know about a couple features that are on our servers right now, and will be for the foreseeable future.  In-game admin'ing for our staff has been going on awhile now, in brief on either of our Black Ops servers, simply type !cmd into the team or global chat areas to see a list of all the commands you can use. 

In addition to this, there is a stats program running which collects scores (kills only right now) and tracks you.  The !rank and !stats commands will give you various separate details about you and your performance (again, kills only atm) between BOTH our servers.  That's right, it doesn't matter if you're a crouchy or a runner, your stats will be side-by-side in ONE collective listing.  You may also see the top 5 players by using the !topstats command.

The new maps have been a big success, and the rotation is going to get shaken up a bit this week, as we expand on gametypes as well as maps a bit, throwing a little more of the old back in play.  Requests for any specific gametype/map combo are ALWAYS welcome!  Also throwing on the table for running it by gametype (IE all the maps on DOM, then all the maps on dEMO, ctf, etc..  Popular gametypes and maps only of course! :)  Let me know if you'd be a fan or foe of that idea!

Donations have been strugglin' a bit these past two months, if you can find it in your heart (and wallet) to help out, please consider doing so.  I've had a couple generous regulars (you know who you are) but need some more to meet goals and the minimum.  The goal is essentially the amount due on servers per month, and since Feb., has included a small portion to try and save up for 'the next big game', whatever ya'll deem desired for a dedicated server.  As of today, that 'kitty' is empty.  Not harping or complaining, just pointing it out so 'it's on the table'. 

There is also a silent competition going on, dubbed 'topple the Living Czar'.  Bragging rights and who knows what more lay in waiting for the entity who can claim the #1 spot from the two which both foolishly think they own. 

As this is April, and depending on where you live not only is school letting out in as soon as a month, but nice weather is approaching, this is your friendly reminder that cKs doesn't want to get in the middle of your life away from gaming/computing.  We do ask, however, that if you are going to be away for an extended period of time that you take a moment and email Rooster (or xfire me!) and let us know if that's going to be the case.  Otherwise you may receive "A.W.O.L" letter from us wondering what happened to ya, and be moved from the active to A.W.O.L. members list.  It is something I struggle with, I hate doing it, but members as well as potential members need to know what the actual active population is here. (and yea, I've not been the best at keeping up with it, it is one of my goals in the next couple months). 

God Bless and see ya on the battlefield!
